The Extras:
The number of audio commentaries rose by one to four this season, with tracks available on "The Fisher King, Part 2," "The Perfect Storm," "Profiler, Profiled" and "Revelatations." The participants are an interesting mix, with writers, directors and cast weighing in in small groups, including executive producer Edward Allen Bernero, Gubler and Moore. It would have been nice to hear from Brewster, but the four tracks are entertaining and informative, covering plenty of on-set stories and behind-the-scenes secrets. The commentary on "Profiler, Profiled" is probably the most interesting, due to the subject matter and Moore's opportunity to talk about about his character's part and his view of the process, while the inclusion of non-star actress Nicki Aycox is a nice (and unique) touch, but all of them offer something of interest to go with a jovial tone.
The tracks are:
"The Fisher King, Part 2": Bernero and researcher/actress Amanda Bernero
"The Perfect Storm": writers Erica Messer and Debra J. Fisher and actress Aycox
"Profiler, Profiled": Bernero, Moore and director Glenn Kershaw
"Revelations": Gubler and writer Chris Mundy
There are four featurettes on the final disc, and they are solid ones for the show's fans. First up is "Profilers, Profiled," a 13-minute look at the show's characters, which is a quality summation of the second-season's focus on the team's personal histories, starring the cast and crew. The 15-minute "The Physical Evidence" focuses on the making-of the series, with interviews with many of those involved in making the show. Using key episodes as checking-in points, the piece goes on the set frequently and covers most aspects of the production. It's an impressively deep featurette that's fortunately free of any fluff.
"The Behavioral Science of Criminal Minds" spends almost 18 minutes on the real-world's profilers, explaining how the job is done in reality and exploring the mindset of an unSub. It's easily the best part of the set because it's true and utterly fascinating. It's followed by the six-minute "Meet Kirsten Vangsness," which is similar to last season's featurette on Gubler, as you get to spend some time with the actress away from the show. A goofy girl, she's fun to hang out with and to find out more about.
For such a serious show, it sure looks like the cast and crew has a good time, if the 4:30 gag reel is any evidence. The main cast seems to be very silly, from Patinkin's manic fits to Brewster's goofball personality, and even the crew gets in on the fun. The gag reels on serious series normally let you see a different side of the stars, and this one is no exception.
The disc wraps with a pair of deleted scenes. The first one makes no real sense to me, but the second one includes a video intro from producer Gigi Coello-Bannon that puts the clip in context, which gives it some meaning, making it an interesting alternate take from the episode.
Seems like it's awesome. I can't wait for the bloopers, oh my how I love you so.
