(I have no idea how the word "either" got into that sentence. It's a sneaky little bugger.)
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have to either accept that she's right until I'm shown otherwise.
On this one, I believed she could absolutely be wrong, as could prefiler. I always think she could be wrong. Profiling is a guess, not an absolute. She's saying, "this is the likely scenario/description according to my understanding of things."
Which isn't a good enough reason to execute someone.
There's a "get out of my gene pool!" response I have to it, but he's already seeded it with his whiny video game playing kids who should get offa my lawn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which isn't a good enough reason to execute someone.
If she was right, to me, it still wouldn't be a good enough reason. The execution is separate from the guilt, morally.
As for her accuracy -- I'm waiting to be shown she's wrong. Either she's been right, or it's been untestable. I don't have the information to second-guess her. Only Tim does here, so I'm going to leave it be.

Profiling is a guess, not an absolute.
I want there to be an episode where they're all completely wrong a la Gary Ridgeway.

I had the feeling that the pre-filer was altering his standards through the episode. Then he sees and investigates Rebecca, and once he finds out about the kidnapping, pushes her at the pedophile that he's noticed.
So if the FBI still had the de-gloved profiler from the first episode, he would have found a bipolar target to taunt her with.

Isn't PORN redundant? Cuz there's not much hope for you if the snuffing of an ice cream sandwich doesn't get you hot and bothered.
