Risky Business - Because the truth of losing someone to suicide is so truly portrayed here. I still remember the feeling I had after I watched all of JJ's scenes. Like I just wanted to get in touch with everyone I knew, and let them know I loved them. So brilliantly portrayed and I also loved that the unsub in this case was not what or who he appeared to be, and that everyone had to take a closer look.

100 and Mosley Lane. I wish MGG would direct more, he is so talented and has such a great mind for this show.

Nameless, Faceless
100
The Uncanny Valley

So many great episodes this season!

100 - simply the best hour of Criminal Minds I've ever watched, and when paired with Nameless, Faceless (those scenes between Hotch and Foyet? Creepy and gruesome), provides one of the tensest arcs of the series.

Mosley Lane - Hansel and Gretel is easily one of the most violent and terrifying fairy tales, translating that to an hour of television was brilliance.

Also loved The Uncanny Valley and Risky Business for specific team member moments that showed awesome growth and smarts and amazingness.

100 doesn't need an explanation, ha. It's my 2nd favorite episode of the series as a whole.

I love "A Thousand Words". I can't really explain why, err. But it does have my all-time favorite Reid/Prentiss moment in it, so that could help.

I love the Uncanny Valley and have been waiting to vote for it! It's one of the few episodes I've watched multiple times. The whole story line is interesting and you don't have any creepy men killing women due to sexual issues which is refreshing.

And really Reid is coming into his own in that one. Great stuff.

100, easily. I think it's my favourite overall episode, actually.

100 This seriously should have won the show a damn Emmy. Freaking amazing acting job by the entire cast. Prentiss making Ma'am sound so much like "Fuck You" and Reid's entire speech to Strauss. Strauss actually appearing human for a change, Hotch-oh poor Hotch. Still in love with Haley. Bound and determined to make sure that mini-Hotch was safe, even at the expense of his career and his own life. *sob*

The Uncanny Valley I think this is the episode where Special Agent Dr Reid really comes into his own. We've seen the signs of him growing up and growing into his role but the scene with Dr PsychoRiker? I was both impressed and a little afraid of him. And the glimpse of Reid outside of Quantico and the respect he gets from others just solidifies things for me.

I didn't vote for the episode because I didn't really care for it, but I loved the scene at the end of Hopeless when we got the slo-mo walk away with Hotch, Rossi and Prentiss; and the scene at the end where the three of them are sharing a drink in Hotch's office. Let me tell you, it fueled a couple of OT3 fantasies about them...

Like I could choose just one. PFT, not.
100 is a total fan classic. Anything MGG directs..well, Im gonna watch it. IiF creeped me the hell out and that's rare.

100 of course, but I love the beginning of The Slave of Duty where Hotch and Jack are getting dressed for the funeral - just gets me every time. And everything about Mosley Lane - MGG directs, the cast, the creepiness, just - wow.
