Uncanny Valley is the only CM ep I've seen. Creeped me right out. Clearly I will need to rent the DVDs at some stage.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The entirety of the show is deeply psychological, but it's really, really at its best when the cases have the UnSubs be as much victim as perpetrator, such as in Uncanny Valley, Conflicted, or Pleasure is My Business. Or conversely, when the UnSubs deliberately pit themselves against the profilers, such as in Fisher King, No Way Out, or Masterpiece.
At least, those are the eps I tend to like the best.

Uncanny Valley was the ep where I really saw Reid's maturity. His confrontation of the unsub's father as amazing, he made eye contact, he didn't sutter or dither. Wonderful.

This AG from West Virginia is a trip. I can't believe the writers went THERE.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
le n, there's already someone on John's blog getting all pissy because they went there.
Any public figure can be parodied! Why shouldn't they parody Palin ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Leverage isn't a procedural.

Not sure if this should be in here or in Cable Drama but The Glades just went a LONG way towards winning my heart with the authenticity factor in tonight's episode. They had a scene with a Cuban store keeper that was so authentic in terms of setting and dialogue, I almost brewed up a colada of café.
It's definitely growing on me.
