  • It's campaign season

    "Abysmal"
    By mrivera, May 29, 2012
    So, the Obama re-election effort is fully underway at CBS. Here, a racist conservative politician goads a follower into committing these home invasions in a way to incite fear and hatred of blacks. It's no coincidence that this politician bears some resemblance to Romney. What are we to expect next - a show about a Mormon who kidnaps black babies and eats them?

  • And now for something completely different ...

    "Mediocre"
    By Lady_Lancaster, May 17, 2012
    Well, if I have to say that I enjoyed the opening sequence until it started getting convoluted with the whole 'who shot who and why' thing. Like so many politicians, the politician in question had plenty to say and very quickly brought up the idea of black gangs etc. The story itself bordered on the very dull far too many times for my liking. I enjoy proper profiling and common sense conclusions. Once again, they were lacking. The writers need to do a lot more research and a lot more work to come up with good scripts. Of course there are racists everywhere and we all know it, but we don't need to have an entire episode dedicated to someone's personal feelings about blacks, immigrants etc. Even when told, the politician still didn't want to hear that his comments were unwelcome and unsatisfactory. He was lucky Morgan didn't knock him senseless when he told him how 'impressed' he was by his ability to get into the FBI. Morgan can be difficult, and he also has a hair trigger temper. Not a good combination. Using the unsub to commit crimes and help him to get elected as mayor is certainly indicative of his desire for power and control, which makes him very like an unsub himself, regardless of whether he is pulling the strings or actually doing something wrong or illegal himself.

    Not a good episode my a long shot, in my opinion. I have seen much better, and hope to again.moreless

    I know this season has new producers n writers but these new ones have been kind of corny. I love jj and prentiss but I wish they would've brought jj back as the liasion and got things jus back to "normal". Jus bc they're back shouldn't mean the others get less camera time. Some1 needs to go back to the drawing board on this 1. I've seen every single ep and can even quote some of them. Where's all the celebrity guest stars?? This show is getting average I agree and I used to look forward to wed. nights. I love this show and jus think they need a few tweeks to get back to where they used to be.moreless

  • Ok but not fantastic

    "Good"
    By hegehalvorsen, Feb 23, 2012
    I think season 7 has been quite good so far but not great. I don't like JJ as a profiler. It just isn't right. How on earth has she become a profiler and a kick-ass fighter while working full time at the Pentagon? I know that Paget is leaving the show so I'm hoping for som great episodes when she leaves. I hope the bring in a new character next season to shake things up a bit. I agree with one of the other reviewer who thinks the Morgan character is like a caricature. I have to agree there. It is also time for more Reid!moreless
