I would post what I think about the episode, but I have no idea how to do spoiler tags. I still have a little more than a half an hour until the premiere.

[*spoiler=brief title like "tonight's ep"] your spoiler info goes here[*/spoiler] Take out the *'s and it should work. :)
 
I really like what they did to resolve the cliffhanger from last season. Emily being suspicious of why Hotch wasn't there with the team the whole time and finally going to check on him was great. I liked the way they blocked the scenes with Reid. Since I knew they had to do it that way it was very interesting to see how they would play it out. I'm so glad Hotch is okay. I always love to see how the team works on a case and seeing how close they are is always a plus too. I can't wait to see how they catch the elusive Unsub.
 
I was on the edge of my seat worrying about Jack. I was so afraid that Reaper was going to hurt him. So glad he didn't.

Pretty good episode.
 
I loved the first episode:)I hope the rest of the season is like this.I hope they'll get Reaper sometime during season 5 and Hotch can see Jack again:(..It was a really good episode.I wanted to see what happened to Hotch badly but the case was interesting as well and the way Emily connected LC with the case was nice.

Even in diffictult times when one of them is possibly in danger they remain professional and they want to help the people that need them.:thumbsup:
 
It looks like I missed a good episode.:( All this waiting and I had to work yesterday.To make things worse,the DVR didn't work.But thanks for the reviews,everyone.

STV "Haunted" Promo

electra-- I hope you'll get a chance to see it! It really was very good.

So I suppose the question to pose to ya'll who have seen the premiere is: Did it live up to your expectations from the promos and whatnot?

Oh Hell, yes. CM has rarely, if ever disapointed me. As in most cases, they exceeded my expectations for this episode.

I loved the Hotch Drama, how Emily immediately knew something was wrong, and went to investigate.

I also like how Hotch lied to Emily about how he didn't remember what happened after Foyet started stabbing him, although I can't blame him. I know I wouldn't WANT to remember that stuff.

I also loved how Hayley was understanding about the situation, especially since she got so....vehement about his job when she left him.

I also loved how they worked MGG's injury into the episode. That was wonderful....

I gotta say, Criminal Minds has got to be my favorite show on TV. Unlike almost every other show I've seen, they consistently do magnificent work. There's only a couple of times when they've gotten it wrong, and I think that the only one that was really noticeable was when Elle left, because that just felt too abrupt.

Everything else, practically has been top notch, and it's the show I look forward to the most on TV, I think. Only thing I don't like is how it's not available On Demand or on Hulu or Fancast.
 
Okay, I'm seriously, SERIOUSLY creeped out right now.

[ANGUS] Male, Caucasian, 28-32 yrs old. In prison for cannibalism, he frightens one of our team members by ogling her, growling at her and licking the glass in anticipation of adding her to the list of his victims. The man is CRRRRRRRAZY. Should be as SCARY looking as possible - scars, tattoos, over 5'10", etc...CO-STAR.

I love all three of the women on this show, so I'm really not happy right now.

I thinking I'll be hiding a lot during this episode.

*shiver*

I can't see this being Emily. She doesn't frighten easily. I don't think someone like this would scare her at all. So that leave JJ and Penelope. I don't really see JJ being scared of someone like that either, because she's dealt with all kinds of psychos, but I don't know a reason for Penelope to be in a place like that... so I'm unsure about this. If it's Emily it will be way out of character for her to be afraid at that kind of behavior. I'm not sure it would be in character for JJ either. Penelope on the other hand scares more easily than the other two.
 
I guess it depends on how creepy he is. :lol:

You're right though- neither JJ nor Emily seem to scare easily. Emily hides behind sarcasm if she's scared by something, and JJ usually is either sarcastic or just hides behind an "oh please" look.

So now I need to figure out why Penelope would be anywhere near a guy that's in jail... :wtf:

Bright side: if it is Garcia, Morgan will get to kick creepy-guy's ass. :lol:

*snicker* They can bring Jordan back to terrorize for a few minutes. *g*

I loved the premiere. Emily was (as always) total awesomesauce, and I loved Hayley and Jack. Thank you, CM, for bringing in family members when someone is hurt (*cough cough* Bones *cough cough*).

So, I was worried about Reid's injury, because I didn't want this to be Reid-centric. At all. But it wasn't. It was very minor, which was nice.

The case was pretty cool, though I didn't pay much attention to it, because, well, that's how I roll. But it was interesting and minor...

Okay, what I SERIOUSLY don't understand is why they're back at work five hours later. Hello. The FBI has more than one team. Maybe only one BAU, but still. Other Agents who were not in Canada with demented mass murderers can handle this dude. Whatever.

I wonder why there weren't quotes. That's one of my favorite elements of CM.

All in all, it was a pretty good premiere. I love CM, simply put.

Hmmm... I don't know. It would be OOC for Emily to be scared, yes, but it COULD be JJ. Baby Sister is allowed to be scared, especially by a guy that sounds that frickin creepy. But now I really want it to be Garcia, so Morgan can go all Protective.

On another note, we were watching a video on Rome the other day and were not too happy about it. Then my best friend and I looked up and saw it was hosted by Joe Mantegna. It suddenly became much more interesting.
 
Dude, I have Latin and we don't watch the awesome video on Rome? WTF, Latin teacher, WTF. (You know, I'm one of her favorites... I'm sure if I could find it I could get her to let us watch it... hm.... [yeah, right, Alex... keep dreaming] :lol:)

I'm curious about the fact that Jack Hotchner is in the guest cast, but his mother is not. And why would we see them if they were in protection, anyway? Whatever.

Notice that they don't say what Rossi's hometown is. Or did I miss that in some episode? (Come to think of it, how many hometowns do we know? Reid is a Vegas boy, JJ is from small town Pennsylvania, Morgan's from Chicago, and Emily's from everywhere. Do we know anyone else?)
 
Tciddaisc see your Private message in regards to your question in the spoiler box... ;)
 
Rossi episode? *excitement*

It was pretty cool. Except he didn't look like Rossi because he was young and had no facial hair.
