I've seen this one before, what about you?
My thoughts on last night's episode and the so called New Team.
So, this new team has Gideon, because he carries around pictures. Only, he's black, dresses like a slob and looks and talks like he's on medication.
They have a mix of JJ and Garcia, because she's blonde and sweet, but she's all tech oriented.
They have a brit that talks like Morgan (with twice his ego and half his respect) but shoots like Hotch.
And they have Prophet. Who was a prisioner once and nowadays talks in a soft wise voice and follows orders and that is pretty much what he does.
Erin Strauss a bureaucracy bitch in this TV-verse too.
I'm not impressed. I was expecting at least something worth a minor "wow" from Forrest Whitaker, but he was poor and his lines were just awfull. I gotta admit it, though, whenever he was talking to Erin he kinda got a good timing for comedy.
Blondie did nothing much other than look beautiful while checking out a room. Her plot was so contrived.
Mick. He's hot. Until about the forth time he opened his mouth to tell us that every woman in the WORLD wants him. Makes me want him less. But hey! Tell the actor I'm single!
Prophet is the only character with the slightlest chance of being more or less original, but they did not focus on him one bit and he just looks like the Ghost of Christmas Past, saying soft things and doing pretty much nothing.
No, I won't be watching this new show. Maybe out of curiosity I'll watch the pilot, but I have better to do and better shows to watch, so don't count on me.
As for CM, I thought the whole mystery was stupid and that father/daughter moment of tears made me wanna skip the scene. I watched the whole thing I regreted I didn't skip it. And "owowyouhurtingmeowow" made me laugh. Up to that moment, the girl was holding up okay (unlike EVERY other cast member).
The one original thing? Unsub pretends to jump. Never saw that one coming. In fact, when he first jump I took a look on the guys' faces and thought, "Wow, that's the best acting they've giving me all episode! They look like they never saw cliche before!"
This week, Prentiss was the only one who got the closest thing decent lines (because she got to be herself ad stay in character), even with Mick flirting around with her - or maybe because of that. Everyone else, sad. Reid, Garcia and JJ were not there. Hotch was just on automatic and Rossi was just Rossi.
Disappointed? No. Just not surprised.

The whole thing felt so forced and they were trying waaayyyy too hard to show how ~*edgy*~ they are, what with the black leather coats and dank basement office and all. Since there's no chance of this show being put out of its misery anytime soon, I can only hope they see the fan reactions and make some positive changes. There were a lot of changes made to Private Practice between its backdoor pilot and its premiere, so I'm trying to be hopeful.
I still won't watch this trainwreck, but if we're to be subjected to more crossovers, it might make them easier to take.
