  • This very disturbed unsub had to be let out of a mental insitution when he turned 18. He killed and ate his victims and even managed to feed some human flesh to volunteers searching for victims. If I ever join a search party, I'm bringing my own food!moreless

    Joe Mantegna as David Rossi has managed to win me over already in spite of the fact that I did not want Gideon to leave. Perhaps, it helped that they wrote in an expert returning from retirement. Joe Mantegna has been cast in the right role. Mandy was a hard act to follow, but Mantegna is pulling it off. This was an episode that makes any reasonable person wonder just how humane it is to let the truly "criminally insane" out of mental hospitals EVER for any reason. Perhaps the kindest thing we can do for someone who is really that "off" is keep them in a mental institution PERIOD. Anyone crazy enough to ever commit crimes that horrible should be locked up for life probably for their sake and definitely for the sake of society.

    Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Garcia got her feelings hurt even though Morgan was just trying to protect her. He could sense that she had a gut level feeling about some guy who had asked her out, so he told her to blow him off "if you think the guy is too smooth." Unfortunately, Garcia thought Morgan came to that conclusion (based on what little info she gave him) because she was not attractive enough for a really good looking guy to be interested in dating her. She didn't realize he probably gave her that advice because he could sense her discomfort.

    So out of hurt feelings she went against even her own instincts, and made a date with someone instead of trusting her gut like Morgan counseled. If she lives, she is going to feel really silly and definitely have to apologize to Morgan. If she dies, I'm never watching this program again.

    But she will live. They HAVE to write it that way or else they are idiots. Because Garcia has way too many fans to write her out of the show. I'm counting on her recovering completely and having a very red face next time she sees her good friend Morgan.moreless

    I really can not wait until next weeks episode. I can not believe that they would end an episode like that. Garcia is my favorite character on the show and I will be very disappointed if they kill her off. I thought that it was sad that Garcia would meet someone that would shoot her. I was sadden by Morgan that he would make Garcia feel bad about her self evan if he did not mean too. I thought that the main storyline for this episode was really disgusting someone being that sick to kidnapp someone and eat them it makes me gag just thinking about.moreless

    This case brought our favourite BAU agents to Florida. After the autopsy of the girl they dicover that the unsub had killed more when they found fingers of ten different women in the stomach of the first one. A creepy case but very well written. A quite Morgan-centric chapter. We discover that he is not comfortable in churches or around priests. There's another Morgan and Rossi confrontation...I still don't like Rossi. The Reid and JJ appear less than I wanted and Prentiss too. Penelope: She met a cute guy and he ask her out. She talks about that with Morgan what leads us to one of my favourite scenes of the chapter. When the superhot guy calls her, she says no and calls Morgan but he is quite unsensible with his words and Penelope ends upset and calling the guy. At the end of the chapter we see how the superhottie shoots Penelope. I have to confess that I cried: they cannot kill Garcia!! and then I thought: Morgan is gonna feel really bad....
    Great chapter! Don't miss it!moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Morgan: An inverted pentagram... The photo of the first victim (Abby Kelton) shows one point of the pentagram is directed to her head (up), making it a straight pentagram. The same can be seen on the body of the victim found in the church, Maria Lopez. In both cases, the pentagrams have a small inclination, but the orientation is unequivocal. Edit
    • Floyd Feylinn Ferell initials are FFF, and F is the sixth letter in the alphabet. Thus, his numerical name would be 666 (666 is the sign of the devil). Edit
    • One of the posters the young unsub has in his hospital room is a print of Francisco Goya's painting "Saturn Devouring One of His Children." Edit

    • Father Marks: So how long has it been, Agent Morgan?
      Morgan: I'm sorry?
      Father Marks: Since you've been in God's house. Priests and dentists can spot an overdue customer a mile away, so how long has it been?
      Morgan: I didn't come here to talk about myself.
      Father Marks: Occupational hazard. My apologies.

      Edit

    • JJ: Everything below the waist had been eaten.
      Rossi: Ah, the circle of life.
      Prentiss: Suddenly I don't feel so guilty about my alligator wallet.

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • JJ: (to Hotch) I hear you. I saw The Exorcist. This is a reference to the 1973 Academy Award-winning horror movie, The Exorcist, about the demonic possession of a young girl and a priest trying to save her. Edit
    • Reid: It's from Dante's Inferno, "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here." Rossi quotes from Dante's "Inferno," part one of three canticas in his Divine Comedy, an epic poem in which Dante is taken on a journey of hell and purgatory by the Roman poet Virgil, and heaven by Beatrice. Rossi uses the original Italian (Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate) and Reid imperfectly translates the line into English. The original, line 9 from canto iii, is: "All hope abandon, ye who enter here." It is probably one of Dante's best-known lines. Edit
