An attempt at conversation

In the last episode comment posting in this community, some folks lamented the general atmosphere of crickets here, and then a_blackpanther suggested that some members might want to discuss more general themes related to the show, sooooooo... yeah, I decided to do a thing. And since things can be daunting for some, I decided to fill the thing with fun little checkboxes because who doesn't like checking things off, amirite?

Below is a poll with lots of questions that hopefully encourage a little back and forth. Feel free to expand on your opinions in the comments section, okay?


[Poll #1960090]

As I said above, please feel free to expand on your answers in the comments!

*EDIT*: LOL! I'm impressed that so many of you think that this show needs more dinosaurs XD

John Douglas rocks ;)

I don't mind the gore either (you should see my bookshelves... four forensic anthropology bone manuals...) but it just gets to be too much all the time...

See now if Hotch left, I'd be done...I started watching for him (huge Dharma and Greg fan) but I do love the team.

I wish they would incorporate more history with not so famous killers (which by the way have you read Psycho USA: Famous American Killers You Never Heard Of by Harold Schechter?)

That one's on my bookshelf too. I too wish they'd incorporate some of the less well known killers, but I guess the general audience wouldn't know what they were talking about.

The only gore that gets me is anything involving eyes. If it involves eyes, I'm out.

Ugh... I'm with you about the eyeballs... *shivers*

I had a bone to pick with the inclusion of Paul Bernardo/Karla Holmolka in the last episode as an example of couple killers. Although a relatively famous Canadian case, Reid claimed that the couple were responsible for over 20 rapes and murders which is, well, WRONG (they were responsible for 3 murders together - Holmolka was never implicated in Bernardo's Scarborough Rapist crimes). I think that the writers could reference lesser known cases if they wanted to, considering that they'll juggle the facts to suit the story that they are writing.

I hate the gore with eyes too. The ep with the taxidermist that was killing for the eyes... *shudder* and then the one with the German brother that put the cameras in the eyes this season... gross, awful, bleee!
