FBI's BAU Elite Team is who the good guys call when the bad guys are THAT bad.

3.0

By MrsKoz, Yesterday

Spoke too soon! It was a matter of time before the show's writers insulted its own audience by letting us all know exactly what they think of us: that we are all nothing more than a bunch of ignorant, naive and unobservant spuds who don't bother with silly things like story or plausibility so why should they?

Case in point: the Season 2 season finale where the Bad Guy Frank is cornered at a train station by BAU... and a bunch of others (they already evac'd the civilians). They bring Jane in to talk Frank down... but the 2 instead pull a Romeo & Juliet by jumping in front of a train that speeds through the station.

Hello?

1) the FBI didn't lock up a station where a serial killer was cornered and a hostage exchange was taking place?

2) the train didn't STOP at the station but sped on through.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, CM writers!

-------

orig review below:

Finally. A high-brow crime show nearly everyone can enjoy without having to skip past lofty dialogue intended to make you feel stupid and them look oh, so clever. Better than its older cousin "Profiler"... this FBI team is made of individual behavioral experts - each adding much of themselves. A+++

Is this now the Alex Blake Show?

4.0

By Hart, 2 days ago

Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows but where'd everybody go? I don't like the Alex Blake character and she seems to be the main character in this season's episodes. Hopefully, she'll decide to stay at Harvard. It's bad enough that Prentiss is gone. Hotch, Spencer, AJ, Derek, Rossi: come back!

Paget Brewster

7.0

By bjsoner, 2 days ago

I think Paget Brewster should come back to the show. She had been on there for a while. I liked her character.

I like her!

8.0

By foxyfifty, May 18, 2013

Tripplehorn's character, to me, fits right in. She's smart, insightful and contributes to the

cast and the show.

The One I Could Not Stand was Elle. Totally Useless as a Profiler.

I will continue to be a fan of this show.

Oh have become the kind of person who does this

1.5

By canamal, May 18, 2013

I think the Triplehorn character is out of sinc with the show. Not a good fit. Either her character is dead and the writers need to fix this or she is not up for this role. I have watch this show for years but the last two episodes were painful to slog through, I just don't care about this character or lack of one. Sorry Jean
