OMG! I received like the best news in the free world about this job I wanted, so since I'm in such a great mood, I thought I'd share my other good news with you--I got the dish on James' role on CM.

How's that for awesome?

I don't know how much you guys wanna know so I'm not including any spoilers, but I'll tell you about our James' very creepy role and character.

His name is Tobias Hankel. And he's a nut job, LOL. He does have multiple personalities. He's also very delusional in his right persona. Raphael is one of the names he goes by.

Here's a longer synospis of the episode:
n this special two-part episode, the BAU is called to investigate after a wealthy couple is murdered in their home following a Super Bowl party. The team pursues what they believe might be multiple killers who use webcams to record murders and upload the tapes on the internet. Hotchner, Morgan and Prentiss soon discover the unsub is actually one man with multiple personalities. As they close in on the killer, Reid faces a life-threatening situation.

Finally, it's allowing me to post again.

*kicks Fanforum*

Anyway, as I was saying--here's more on James' role:

The BAU team investigates a wealthy couple's murder at their home following a Super Bowl party; someone places a 911 call quoting Bible passages seconds before the murders.
Date: Sun., Feb. 04, 2007
Time: 10:30PM
Channel: 2, WCBS
Descriptor: New Episode, Stereo, CC

Meredith will be in the episode.

If any of you are kinda squeamish about violence or haven't prepared yourself for the idea of James torturing people--you should be warned that he does torture people and there is plenty of violence.

There's also a very interesting back story about James' character and one of the BAU characters.

ETA: The 2nd title to the 2-parter is called Revelations. It airs February 7th at 9 PM.

Who wants to see pics of James' role on CM? Yup. I got 'em!

Criminal Minds Episodes | TVGuide.com

Go to TV Guide and the pictures are on the side. You see James standing behind a door while JJ and Reid are on the other side.

I've got more. Who's the best? ;P

BTW--I know I can get away with posting these, altho they're spoilerish, because they are also the episode summaries:

Episode Detail: Revelations - Criminal Minds
Conclusion. The team's urgency to find the killer increases when they realize he's holding Reid captive and they see a live feed of a bound and drugged Reid, who flashes back to his own troubled childhood while drifting in and out of consciousness. Det. Farraday: Bill Smitrovich. Man in Black: Don Swayze.

Hotchner and the BAU team fear they are facing a mission-based serial killer, or multiple killers, when a 911 phone call quoting bible passages from Revelations is placed by someone in the house just seconds before the murders occur. As the team begins their profile, Garcia discovers that the tech-savvy unsub (unknown subject) sent out a video of the murders over the Internet just hours after they were committed, which is viewed by millions of users. Meanwhile, Hotchner, Morgan and Prentiss must determine how many people are actually responsible for the murders since different voices can be heard on the 911 recording and on the video.

Interesting news for TIVO viewers, like myself.

First Down Load: CBS, TiVo Offer One-Click Super Bowl
by Wayne Friedman, Friday, Jan 26, 2007 7:30 AM ET
TIVO AND CBS ARE LAUNCHING a special two-week Super Bowl campaign that will tout CBS' Monday night lineup of shows, including new show "Rules of Engagement," as well as CBS' drama "Criminal Minds."

TiVo will offer a sneak peek of the upcoming "Rules" comedy and give its subscribers a two-and-a-half-minute trailer of "Criminal Minds" through its Showcase area. A special "Criminal Minds" will also follow the Super Bowl.

In addition, TiVo will provide a one-click recording of CBS' airing of the "Super Bowl XLI," as well as setting up a season pass to record the entire Monday night CBS comedy lineup.

TiVo will embed interactive on-screen tags during the Super Bowl that will allow viewers to quickly record CBS programs. As a side benefit, CBS will get TiVo's unique commercial audience measurement data to better understand how viewers are interacting with CBS TV commercials.

The campaign runs through February 6.

More on JVDB's ep of Criminal Minds from Kristin at E!:
From Jackie: Dawson Leery is coming back to TV!
Yes, he is, and millions will watch, because his episode of Criminal Minds airs right after the Super Bowl! I talked to Shemar Moore last week, who said "Forget Dawson's Creek or whatever you thought of James Van Der Beek before, because this man is a pimp! He is so good in this role." Kirsten Vangsness, who plays Penelope, echoed Shemar's sentiments. "I want to tell you about this one thing that he does, but it would give everything away about his character. But he was just amazing. If you saw the words on the page, you would freak. It would be so difficult not to do heavy-handed, but he plays it so well."

More from the cast of Criminal Minds on james:

Matthew Gray Gubler said James looks sorta like him but he's a little taller, smarter, and better looking.

Beatriz

I'm going to bring some info

EDITED: I tried the merging posts for the first time and it worked, lol. I'm proud of myself

Cris

You know what this character reminds me of? Patrick Bateman, Sean's older brother. It's kinda like what Sean becomes. It's like a weird continuation of The Rules of Attraction.

Beatriz

Thank you Brit!

dcluv

rockthecreek

it's 7 times that week (at least here) 5-days a week at 9AM on TBS (Dawson's Creek) and then twice on CM! I think i might faint.

Mich

Supposedly they are re-airing CM after the original airing after the Superbowl, in case someone missed the first showing, before part 2 happens on Wednesday at 9 PM. I don't know the date of the re-airing yet.

*Nora*

I just noticed that "Tobias Hankel" sounds very German. Hee.
