I am a huge fan of the shows. But this one almost turned me off from ever watching another episode. Why would they ever think it was ok to get that deep into what was happening to those boys..and the boy with the sister. I actually ran to the bathroom trying not to throw up. If you have ever had a family member that has gone through any sort of rape or if you yourself has you know that this was not brilliant but instead it was completely disgusting and should NEVER be shown on the air!! Ever. Or at least there should be a warning for something like this!!!!!moreless

Well done! Although this is a subject most people do not even want to think about, let alone discuss, as in true CM fashion they tell and show the whole truth as raw and as unappealing as it is.moreless

I like episodes that deal with the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We all like to believe that the bogey man is something you don't have to watch on T.V. and our favorite shows wouldn't dare be bold enough to put the bogey man on T.V. even when the show is called "Criminal" Minds and let him get away in the end. However that is exactly what happens in real life whether we like it or want to see it or not. One of the reasons I really liked this episode is because people do crazy things like take their kids on camping trips and then put them in tents by themselves, to fend for themselves -- yes it sounds crazy because it is crazy, yet people still do it. And then law enforcement (FBI) has to be called in to find the little tikes when they are stolen and victimized. I like the fact that CM gives it to you straight and sometimes on the rocks, that's why I love this show!!!moreless

Whatever happened to the good old criminal minds?

4.5

By auyongjin, Sep 08, 2011

Season 1 to 4 was fantastic. Season 5 was decent. But now? It just seems to be losing their Midas touch. Bring back the good old profiling that made us hard core fans and take away the cheap Saw like violence. The show now seems to be like a Gypsy carnival in which they come up with supernatural prediction that always turn out correct. Season 5 got me sentimental with it, but honestly, we still prefer good old profiling. This episode seems bent on showing a rape victim (L&O:SVU style) and the bunch of pedophiles out there. Unfortunately, this story is not realistic at all, and now, Criminal Minds seem to be more of a Soap Opera. To be honest, if this were to go on, I would rather criminal minds be axed and stop showing, rather than showing below par episodes. The ideas are running dry and now is the best time to pull the plug. The entire show seemed to be a guessing game now and I see many logical fallacies (why keep an addition witness, etc)... Would be sticking to reruns now.moreless
