Recap: Criminal Minds 5x18 “The Fight”

[iamtheliquorr.livejournal.com]

OK so after watching Wednesday night's ep, I couldn't resist--I gave it the full recap treatment.  I've been recapping bad movies and TV shows (mostly teen-oriented) on my YA lit blog, and if there was anything worth venturing outside my comfort zone to recap, it was this ep.

I'm linking this here in case anyone's into that sorta thing, but I warn you: this is a very lengthy, very snarky recap, and also very biased.  Like I'm not even trying to hide it.  So if you genuinely felt Wednesday's episode was good television, or just liked the spinoff, bear in mind that I am mocking it mercilessly, so only click if you're not inclined to take my recap seriously (which by all means, you should not).  In fact, I encourage everyone not to take it seriously, since I wasn't taking myself particularly seriously while writing it.  I was just having some fun.

I'm going to quote the beginning and if you're interested in the rest, I've linked the post at my LJ.

So last night, Criminal Minds aired a “backdoor pilot” (*snicker*… yes, I am 12) for its new spinoff series. So basically it’s the spinoff pilot disguised as a CM ep.

I’ll put it bluntly—when I first heard of the spinoff, I wasn’t particularly excited. OK, maybe that’s an understatement. About as excited as I would be about getting a root canal without anesthesia whilst being forced to listen to Justin Bieber on repeat whilst being forced to watch Smallville might be a little more apt. But in spite of all this, I tried my hardest to go into this with an open mind. I didn’t want the spinoff to suck—not because I have any intention of watching it, but because Bernero and co. really seem to want to show off their new toy with crossovers, should this spinoff get picked up. Unfortunately, if this ep is a harbinger of things to come, man, am I going to need more alcohol.
