Very strong JJ episode the last 3 min of JJ and Jane trying to get her to understand that Leo was ill and what he said wasn't true . JJ seemed a bit down that she couldnt get thru to her.

Rossi with the left hook nice to see him get physical !! Hotch hair looked slicked down different then normal . Or could be me with my CM obsession with hair styles

Ok, so bar the spiders (I'm terrified of them, especially tarantulas) it was a good episode. Wish they had used something else to use on the woman.......I could have actually watched the whole thing.....

believer14

I liked the episode more than I tought after seeing the promo, news etc..

I like JJ trying to get to Jane, and that small talk JJ and Hotch at the end, I tought it would be little longer, but okay.
I expected a funny joke about Rossi's punch, like you still have some skills?

Yep, I agree with Matt, JJ was pretty present.. Like it! First two were presenting more Kate, last more Reid, this also Rossi and JJ, more JJ, like it!


9.83 mil total viewers #2 behind MF in the whole night if we don't count World Series Game 2, if we are then #3, 2.4 demo, #3 in the whole night.. Early ratings.
No surprise because of the very creepy episode, and the promo was creepy, so I get it why it was lower ratings than usual..

Hah, Matt, I didn't notice that his hair was different.. I did notice that this season the BAU womens are dressing better, or better to say more diverse with their dress styles than previous episode, especially JJ, a lot of new accessories this season, Garcia is always in something different, you can't even remember.. And Kate is the new one, but different then Alex mostly black and white combinations..


Wednesday final ratings, 2.5 demo, 9.92 total, #3 #3.

Kate / jennifer needs a jacket or stick with button-down shirts. Since she is breastfeeding and she already is normally busty ,she stands out more .. The story itslef was different but no uncommon ,as far as unsubs who see or feel things that are not there .

Good strong JJ Rossi episode , Dr reid as always gets the fects dead on and knows what is going on . For once we got a good look atthe unsub his issues and spomebody, Jane .who will never trust anyone .. Two female guest stars i know ,Jane is Brit morgan , I know her from True blood, Alica coopala many Tv shows and movies

believer14

Aaa, I didn't recognize Brit Morgan, I knew that I remember that body from somewhere.. True Blood and Graceland S2.

kind of off topic, but I didn't know where to put this........

is it just me or is the show Stalker taking case storylines from Criminal Minds? I've watch some previews of the recent episodes and they have all sounded so similar to ones from CM.

Logan

Not sure I have only seen the previews of the show , but wouldn't be surprised to see simmler pattern . CBS pushes it like it is a 2nd Criminal minds show

The so called bugs under the skin threw me off at first. But then we see it is in their minds, so I kinda get it. Rossi seemed to understand, or play along better then the rest. I felt bad that the one Meeting leader,Lisa Randle was victimized for talking to the team. Even when she though they were after her group.
I also worried that after what Leo Jenkins was doing that he would hurt Jane Posner. Especially after they had been together awhile and they started to feel the "Bugs" again. But it seemed that he calmed her and mostly vice versea. Yes he thought Drs. and the government were lying. Reid knew the problem, and Garcia needed him to spell it. That should happen more.
Seemed nice for Rossi talking to Leo then at end popping him in the nose. The showing of the picture in the cell phone was nice too. Yes Jane and Lisa still had the problems after the case, but it did seem that things for both, especially Lisa were better.
JJ and Kate might have been rough on Jane, but they wanted to know where Leo the killer was. We have all seem the guys bang the table and yell to get answers. This is just the ladies version I guess.
I did like the episode, but I like most everyone they play. Sure there are times they could do this or that different, but I'm not writing it. So I don't look at it that critical I guess.

To touch on JJ's PTSD is a good thing. Yes don't wrap it all up in one episode down the line. As they are doing on NCIS:LA, Kensi was tortured in Afghanistan last season. She has showed little to none of her torment. People have been complaining in the Forums, etc. and they have showed in one episode a little of it after her being questioned about the incident. I believe there will be more of it. I hope anyway. And instead of one big episode of problems it should be spread out over the season. Maybe even words of or showing her talking to a Psychologist.

Well, that's the plan I think, they go rough on her, so that she gets angry and can't calm her down.. So that she could scratch herself when she's under pressure..
If they go yelling at her, that's seems like she is doing something right when they are angry, this is a more appropriate technique for this particular scene..
The best thing in this interrogation, at least I think, it's to provoke the suspect, so he/she could get angry, and slip something accidentaly, or show some tic which would tell is he/she lying or telling the truth..

I agree with the second paragraph..

Mountain_Girl

Agree with everything, especially about the PTSD.

I follow both CM and NCIS LA and I have to say that I love how CM handles PTSD. even back in the beginning they did a great job. I mean they gave us glimpses of it in JJ after "revelations" with dogs in later episodes and we are seeing subtle hints of PTSD with JJ after 200.

BUT, I do have to say that both shows do great jobs at the PTSD because, as I've stated before, it is different with everyone. on tumblr I follow a channel about Kensi and Deeks and have seen multiple comments about her and PTSD and I've had to explain over and over again that it is different with everyone. Just because they don't show it, doesn't mean she doesn't have it. PTSD can show signs right from the start or it shows itself when there is a trigger.....also it depends on how strong the person is towards the signs. Kensi tends to hold a strong front in public, in private.....which we never really see....who knows how she deals.

the same with JJ, but she tends to not be as strong since she has the habit to emphathize because of the liaison job and having to talk to victim's families. I've noticed that she has become stronger since starting as a profiler, not letting things affect her as much...but there is still some softness about her which lets some of the PTSD show.

Also, we have to take into consideration that JJ is a mother and Kensi isn't. there is a psychological and emotional difference between a person who is a mother and a person who isn't. AND also take into consideration the jobs both women have, one is always undercover and has to school her emotions and such to keep her cover while the other is just an FBI agent and mostly deals with finding suspects by looking through paperwork and doing interviews with families. they both deal with criminals and are always in danger, but they are one two different levels.

Logan

You don't watch NCIS ? Kensi /JJ comparison.. I have seen enough of NCIS LA to know Kensi Role . But Kensi Is tough yet can be sympathetic. Seen her kick ass and take a beating . Not a lot of similarities between the two.
NCIS LA gang get into more physical altercations with criminals, then Criminal minds. Obviously two crime shows that are different themes .

Mountain_Girl

I used to watch NCIS, after Ziva left I stopped. Then is was Grey's Anatomy.... Then I started on NCIS LA and now CM along with it. LOL!

yeah, Kensi can be sympathetic, but it isn't as profound as JJ. JJ's job as liaison helped her learn to empathize and also I believe she is a natural empathizer. With Kensi, unless she can relate to it, you can see her struggle to get one on one with the emotions, but I believe that is caused by what has happened to her in the past....being away from her mother for so long and being the daughter of a military man who wasn't always around....then all the abandonment with Jack and all. JJ, except for her sister, seems to have a really good family past and has a good marriage, not much abandonment there. Abandonment, if a person goes through it a lot, can really mess with relationships (both close and acquaintances) emotionally and psychologically.

At least, that is what I think. I base all this stuff off what I've experienced and also what I see and read.
