This is the discussion post for 1x09 "Derailed.". I don't think a spoiler warning is necessary.

I loved this episode! And Reid was THE man! He totally saved the day :))

Favourite quotes:
Reid: Tardive dyskinesia.
Morgan: Once more for those of us who don’t have an encyclopedic memory?

Reid: Could you guys do me a favor?
Morgan: Anything.
Reid: Could at least one of you look like you're going to see me again?

Elle: Um, Reid, you probably saved my life in there.
Reid: Probably? I totally saved your life. And I'm pretty certain that it was caught on tape.

And of course I loved the ending :))
Reid: Albert Einstein asked, "A question that sometimes drives me hazy: Am I or are the others crazy?"

That's one of the best ending quotes ever. I love it!

I enjoyed this episode. One of my favorite parts is where the team suddenly realizes that Elle is one of the hostages on the train. Just the expressions...plus, the humanity of everyone else missing that fact until Gideon comes in.

This was actually one of my less loved episodes. Probably because I love Emily so much more than Elle. Elle wasn't nearly as diverse imo.

I love Emily too. She's my favourite. Elle is just a generic character at best, but this episode is good for many other reasons.

A movie review is not going to help us right now!

I liked this episode. Reid totally rocked. I'm like wetmoth I'm not much of a Elle fan.

I found it interesting that Gideon is in the backseat of the SUV and Morgan is in the front - is there any reason for this?

Are they asking Reid about psychotic breaks because they know his background, or because of his doctorates?

Love protective Morgan, love the line Reid says - 'can at least one of you look like you're going to see me again?'

There always has to be the one hostage that is stupid and gets everyone else in danger! (the kid). Wonder if the guy who shot the unsub will get charged?

Loved it when the unsub shot the phone - definitely wish I could do that at work some days!!!!

This episode raises the question for me ..... given that Elle has left and Gideon has left - how is Reid going to feel if Hotch (or Morgan) leaves in Season 5?
