First of all, I'm dismayed at the sudden and drastic drop in quality for Criminal Minds in this season. It used to be a show that focused on the methods of criminal profilers and we could see each logical step the investigators took. Now, it seems like the team make these outrageously specific leaps of 'logic' in seconds that point directly to the people they're after, really obscure and illogical connections that would take a real life investigator years to realise, if they ever did. But no, Reid can look at a piece of paper and a photo and immediately infer that the unsub is obsessed with the 1950s, and Garcia can look at a black and white photo and tell how her makeup was done? That they used greenish powder? Come on!!
Couple that with the melodramatic background music, all the sobbing and boohooing of our main team of characters when JJ is reassigned (seriously??? The woman just got promoted to one of the most integral roles in the US government, that will give her more time with her family and better pay, and she wants to stick around and deal with mutilated corpses?? And the team act as if they'll never see her again!), plus the most utterly ridiculous episode plots and this has to be one of the worst seasons I've ever seen, with this episode the worst of the worst. And I don't say that lightly because I will give a TV show a lot of leeway before my criticism kicks in.
What a waste of a Robert Knepper appearance! Knepper is an incredible actor and an iconic bad guy. In this, they've made him a wet lettuce with bad lines.
