If Garcia doesn't do at least one Wizard of Oz joke tonight, I may just be disappointed.

I'm interested in how they do the tornado aspect of it. I mean, is he staying in the same town/city the whole time???

[izumi-masaki.livejournal.com]

Unless it's tornado season...?

(I live in Arkansas, we have unusual bursts of it.)

[klutzy-girl.livejournal.com]

Can they not repeat the Hotch/Haley storyline with JJ and Will please? Do not want.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Seconded!

LMAO at Reid.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Reid is so calm and has such fun tormenting the others. I love him.

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

Love Reid 'educating' Rossi about plane crashes and microbursts.

You guys you guys

I missed the first 15 minutes and caught on right when they say there is another storm coming up (after Hotch just left a boy in the interview room?). What happened?

Re: You guys you guys

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

Someone is abducting and murdering teen boys when major storms are coming, like tornadoes, and hides their bodies in the storm-damaged areas to make them look like casualties of the storm.

Meanwhile, JJ and her hubby are fighting because she doesn't have a nine-to-five job anymore.

Oh my God....it's Frankenstein....with tornadoes.

Yikes, reminds me of the rapes during Hurricane Katrina.

Oh god, I just saw a little hand in the box, he's got a tiny kid in there! I hope they don't get too grisley.

Like, I'm watching the current season and the 5th on TV, the same time as I'm watching the 1st as well, sometimes the gore difference is jarring.

Oh noes, I hope it's not a repeat of the Haley-Hotch storyline, or if so, could they please tell the otherside of the story please? It's hard being the other half, it's human to go into something thinking Love Will Make It Work, but sometimes, it's just too hard, and it shouldn't make anyone a demon.

Oh, right now, it looks like he's making a Frankenstein.

One of the best parts of Criminal Minds is Reid's development.

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

Yikes, look at all the grave robberies.

"Spencer, you scare me." "You're not the only one."

I keep wanting to sing "Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening."

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Oy, creepster, stop staring creepily!

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Is that a cat and kittens watching it snow?

[doverz.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but this backstory is ridiculous.

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

It's a cat standing on someone's coat watching the weather -- could be rain or snow, I think.

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is more than a little farfetched!

[diemme.livejournal.com]

I know, I was waiting for an evil stepmother and a mirror to pop up.

What I love and hate about this show

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

...is how its most scariest unsubs (the crazy ones you can't reason with), are fucking scary, but you can't hate them, because poor poor bastards. Like that lady in Uncanny Valley, it would be the horrors to be one of her victims, drugged repeatedly, wig sewed onto your sculpt, alone with the loony, but could you hate her if you know why she's wrecked like this?

Even that female dominant killer in The Perfect Storm, at the end, she was screaming, "I promise you she'll never be the same.", she was relieving her own trauma, the sexual sadism was more psychodrama than sexual thrill, for her. Hotch sometimes slams the unsub around or is otherwise very rough when he takes them in, but not that time, you could see the pity in his eyes.


This one, like Garcia said, poor kid indeed.

[beatrice_otter]

Ok, someone really needs to tell the CM writers that even though this show's been on for many seasons, they don't need to bring out the ultra-bizarre every week. "ordinary" serial killers, good writing, character development (by which I don't mean recycling another character's arc from an early season). That's what we want.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

What's with the overacting in this scene?
