Criminal Minds: Did anyone else find the BAU unit passing out candy at the end of the episode kind of creepy?

Yes.
I was really looking forward to having Joe Mantegna join the cast but this episode just wasn't that great.
Meanwhile, I really enjoyed Life. I liked that Charlie and Dani and Charlie's earlier partner were all working together at the end.
Life: I was thrown off at first, but I enjoyed the new tone and formula this week after all was said and done. And how glad am I that my theory that Roman was indeed a sower of lies and distrust and that his "tip" to Charlie about Stark proved false?! I so want Bobby to be a good cop (although his excitement about wanting to rough up the Cudahy contacts show that he's not above the law-- but then neither is Charlie with his doing it himself).
Dani clutching Charlie's arm at the end there was all kinds of awww.
Charlie's delivery of his commentary on Myspace/Facebook was hilarious.
On Criminal Minds, passing out the candy at the end didn't bother me too much; the young guy made the point at the beginning that he really enjoyes Halloween. But I didn't think it was that great an episode, and I found myself really disliking Joe Mantegna's character. He was doing some really dumb things, not trying to integrate with the team, etc. And he obviously has his own agenda ... which I'm hoping will make things more interesting.

About bloody time!
NUMB3RS: I lost track of how many people were put into witness protection. I seemed like everytime they found a bad guy, they put them in. I was very confused.
I came in half-way through the middle. I was confused and bored, so I stopped watching.
Also, was that monastery the same garden location they used in a CSI (the one where Grissom and the deaf lady were conversing during his whole I'm Going Deaf phase)? It sure looked the same to me, and totally threw me out of the story. Which admittedly wasn't that difficult to do, since I was already disengaged.
I thought that the abuse of the Witness Protection Program was going to be the point -- that they were using it for some reason of it's own.
