Criminal Minds - I assumed the Gideon guilt trip is a way to get Mandy Patinkin off the show without having him just drop out of sight.

Yeah, I figured that as well. I was also interested to see that the spoilers I read were wrong. I wasn't expecting Patinkin's character to be involved in the actual case in the episode. I thought they handled it pretty well considering what they had to work with.

I knew they were going to have to get Gideon off the show somehow, but I didn't like the end where it seemed to be hinting that he'd kill himself, that just seemed OOC.

Well from the previews they showed, it looks like it is going to continue next week, so I'm hoping he doesn't actually kill himself.

K-ville was okay. I was surprised to see Tim Minear's name in the credits. I was looking at the locations, too, looking for places that I recognize. Tthe scenes supposedly at the airport were actually shot near the Convention Center. The two big bridges in the background were a dead giveaway.

What does Tim have to do with K-ville? Will I have to start watching now?

CSI: is Sara gonna die?

CSI - I can't imagine she will. But that's based on nothing except Tim not being the writer.

Had no idea he was involved with K-ville. I do like it so far, though.

Spike's on Without a Trace! or he was.

Tim was credited as "Consulting Producer." I noticed Kelly Manners' name in there, too, which is funny when you see Sam Anderson as a guest star in the pilot.

Sam Anderson

Random Aside: I was at a bar yesterday that had a TV with Forrest Gump on it. Who should turn up as the principal Sally Field has to sleep with to get Forrest into school but Holland Manners. I'd completely forgotten (or probably didn't know who he was at the time) mainly because after the one and only time I saw it I vowed never to see it voluntarily again.

Ooh, who else from Angel should show up on K'Ville???

JM is recurring on WAT this season. (Which is interesting because I can't recall them having any sort of arciness before and it looks as though this storyline with the kidnapped women and girls is going to be the agent for his reoccurrence.)

Seeing him with his natural hair and his natural accent still strikes me as odd and even though he's not hitting his r's as hard as he did on Smallville - still sounding funny.
