I generally don’t watch dram series TV, but Criminal Minds is one of my few guilty pleasures. It’s dark, makes you think, and generally sheds a bright light on the darker side of humanity. The side you know exists, but that you don’t let your mind internalize in fear of never being able to get a good nights sleep again. The main characters are all very well developed, and the bad guys are usually very easily forgettable. Yesterdays episode was one of the more memorable ones I’ve seen in a while. George Costanza (Jason Alexander) played the bad guy. My initial reaction was, George can’t keep a girlfriend, let alone a job, how can he possibly foil the FBI’s BAU?
I watched the hour episode rather intently, and generally don’t get sucked into the emotional aspect that writers tempt you with in most dramas. I admit it, I got sucked in last night, which is why the last five minutes of the show provided me with the best viewing experience I have ever had in a show.
As soon as the full episode is put up on-line I’ll link it. CBS has half the clip I was jacked up about put up on-line, but it is completely out of context since you don’t have emotional attachment to the characters involved.
If you regularly watch the show, hit me back with your thoughts on last nights episode.
