This episode was alright. Reminded me of Open Season. Aside from the outstanding character moments, I still think most of the episodes have been pretty subpar this season. They might need to shake things up a little.
 
I know what you mean. There have been some really awesome moments between the characters, but in general it just hasn't been an overly excellent season. There's been less profiling, I think, and that's not really something I want to see. Also, the episodes just aren't making me feel like I NEED to watch the show every week. Which isn't good coming from me.

Do I think the show's winding down? No. I just think that the writers feel like they have to try to make things "different" because it's the 5th season, and that's just not the case.
 
I fineally got to see what you were talking about the formal clothing he was wearing at the beginning of the episode, :eek: Jeans, formal, DANNNG! :lol:


UPDATE: Guess what MGG Just Tweeted this.
-An insomniac pal (who's name rhymes with Flermar Schmore) just texted me to say he's finally getting a Twitter acct. Victory!!


:lol: I will add Shemar to the links in the first page/post when it becomes available.

O/T- I know fanfiction here for CSI only. I don't understand why can people write story on here like Criminal Minds and other show. I can't write other board like Fanfiction. You got to download them and I got trouble with it. This is a question about the story.

The problem is with so many stories that people want to write it would over power the discussions on the shows themselves, now short stories (odes, etc) that require on post isn't a problem as long as you say what story your show is about (ie Criminal minds, then title of short story) I think then we could do a thread for it so everyone could do them.

But if you want to do a site just for CM stories, you could sign up for a free board at Proboards I love this site and as long as your site doesn't violate the Terms of service they don't even bother you. What is good about this site, say you and three others want to do CM stories, you can create a forum for each person. Or one forum and each person gets one thread for their stories (like with csi here).

I plan to do this when I combined all my message boards together, so that people can be creative, there is a the PG13 rule I will have go past it and the story will not be allowed, basically it ain't allowed on the show it won't be in the story type of thing. If you need help I only have 3-4 proboards of my own. Now you know why I want to put them all together, and two yahoo boards. :lol: Hey Pm me if you want more info and or interest when i get going. ;)

To me, a lot of the problem is the Unsubs just aren't that interesting. They're too one-dimensional. And this latest one came out of left field at the end of the episode. Not good. It would have been better if the team had been told about/or found out about the guy a little sooner. Remember when we used to get flashbacks and more background on the Unsubs? I think this would've really helped. And when the posse was chasing the guy at the end, I felt absolutely no suspense. When they trapped him at the docks, I felt like it was a situation I'd seen before in other TV shows too many times, so no suspense there either. And I think that might be one of the main things actually, that makes this season so different. I am not on the edge of my seat. I think the only episodes of this season where I have been on the edge of my seat were "Nameless, Faceless" when Hotch got attacked, and "100".

The episode of CSI:NY that came on after the CM ep was much more interesting. Definitely not a good sign.

Do I think the show's winding down? No. I just think that the writers feel like they have to try to make things "different" because it's the 5th season, and that's just not the case.

I wholeheartedly agree. But I'm afraid of what the writers might do to try to wind things back up at this point. I used to totally trust that the CM writers knew what they were doing. But now, I don't know what's going on with them. And I'm with you on the shipping, too. I like the pairings on the show that are and have been canon, like the friendship of Hotch and Rossi, Garcia with Kevin and her feelings for Morgan, but if I have to get out the ole barf bag for that certain pairing which shall go unnamed because the writers have run out of ideas (or their sanity) and decide to try it, I will not continue to watch the show. :vulcan:
 
CM is still one of my favorite shows but even I have to admit that I can not compare episodes like " LDSK" or "The tribe" to most episodes of the current season.But they are doing a better job in the last episodes.Does anyone feel the same about season 4 as well?

I ship almost every single show that I watch except CM.It will take time from such an awesome show.Hate to bother but which is ithe pairing that should remain unnamed?:lol:
 
Good ep. When they wondered why the unsub took the bodies with him, I immediately thought of the movie "Hideaway" where the killer was making an "art" exibit with the bodies. At the end of the ep when they found him with with the girls on hooks, my brother walked in and saw it and he said "someone's been watching too much Hideaway". :lol: I thought it was funny that he was thinking the same thing I was. :lol:

I thought "The Internet is Forever" was excellent, and I think a psychic Rossi is interesting. :lol:

OK, this episode really did freak me out, and it was the most true-to-the-CM format episode we've had in the back half of the season, IMO, so I'm really happy. There was a lot to like in this ep. But I didn't get how Rossi figured out that the old man was definitely a sickie and in on the Unsubs "doings". And then I realized that maybe Rossi is truly psychic. Either that or he's an even more brilliant profiler than I ever realized.
 
My fav line though I have many.

Reid walks in with new hair cut. They stare at him, he is wierded out.
Hotch: Did you join a boy band (laughter)
Reid: No!

:lol::lol::lol:
 
This episode was so intense it gave me a backache :lol:. I thought it was a really, really good episode. Very suspenseful and creepy and tense. The interrogations were great:

-Morgan yelling "shut up" made me jump.
-Prentiss: "It's Agent Prentiss" :lol:
-Of course Rossi :thumbsup:: I couldn't figure out if the guy was innocent or not and it was driving me crazy. When Rossi got up in his face I was like :eek: how are you so sure?? That was great.

This made my day :guffaw: :lol: I loved that it was Hotch who delivered that line it just made it perfect :lol:

Also loved Garcia getting all pissed with the unsub and her line "that's how the FBI caught me".

It was so funny to listen to them going on about twitter and who would think they are so important for other people to care and follow knowing they are all on twitter :lol: They really were making fun of themselves :lol: That was great.

Good episode!
 
Well,I have to admit that I had to think twice before updating my status this morning.:lol:

I think it was Hstetlerfan that said something was missing this season: the suspense.This one had me on edge.I could not figure out if the older guy was guilty or not and was almost dying for Garcia to finally hack the unsub.LOVE it!!! I did not even realized the time .

And as usual the team moments were great: Rossi reading facebook updates:lol: ,Morgan being a friend to Garcia and everyone teasing Reid.

I hope they continue this way.Of course,even a bad day of this show is better then most shows but this is how I like it.:thumbsup:

Aww, I missed that part. :lol: Hotch being funny. heh.

Yep and in that look and tone of a totally straight face when asking, It was toward the beginning, when they are seated and JJ is explaining the case to them and Reid walks in.
 
I have to admit, the viewers were almost scarier than the unsub himself. The businesman seemed to have no clue he was doing anything wrong.

Rossi's intuition is really something! This episode was very suspenseful and I was finally on the edge of my seat for the first time since the "100" episode! I was so freaked out after watching it, that I thought there would be an Unsub waiting for me when I got back to my house after watching the episode at a friend's! :eek:

Yes, the character interactions were totally well done. Garcia and Rossi in particular were just awesome. When Rossi started talking about how he didn't understand why people bothered to send trivial messages and you knew he was talking about Twitter, I started laughing because of JM being on Twitter in RL...This episode gets an A from me, and I want to watch it again.


I hope they continue this way...

Me too!
 
I really like the episode last night and that was good. Hotch makes joke for the first times. I like Garcia said, Not today, not ever when she types the computer to stop the unsub from killing the girl.
