new fan needs your help! :)

First of all, I've been reading through the posts in this community and I have found it to be a terrific resource for someone who is new to this show! I just have a couple questions:

Where can I find decent screencaps for the series?

I'd love some episode recs - which ones are your favorite and why? :)

Thanks in advance, everyone! <3

Must see is Profiler Profiled. Really great acting by Shemar Moore and a really powerful episode.

Some of my personal favourites are "Riding the Lightning" from Season 1, "Ashes to Dust" from Season 2, "True Night" from Season 3, and "Big Wheel" from Season 4.

Riding the Lightning is my favourite too!

I was going to rec True Night as well! Frankie Muniz was so awesome in it.

More support for Riding The Lightning. Absolutely excellent. Had me in tears!

I basically love any Hotch centric episodes, I sadly can't remember the names but I just watch every episode in a row, lol.

The one that comes off the top of my head is Minimal Loss. There are other excellent ones but that is definitely a favourite. I also agree with the above poster who suggested The Uncanny Valley. Creepy, very creepy, and excellent.

I also really liked A Shade of Grey in Season 4.
