Just watched "The Fight" from S5. Did this episode have any purpose aside from launching a spin off? The sniper guy was hot, but otherwise the episode was rather embarrasing to watch.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Also really adored the actor playing Julio.
Me too. I am trying to figure out why he is familiar to me but the only credit on his IMDB page that I think I've seen is 24, and I didn't watch much of that season.

I really liked last night's CM--it might be my favorite of the season so far. Of course, I'm a big fan of Dr. Reid, so a Reid-centric ep was already going to be on my Yay list, but this one was a really good one.
I think my favorite part was the confrontation between Reid and the professor unsub at the end. It reminded me the most of the second episode of the series, when Gideon bested the Footpath Killer (played by Lukas Haas) by playing along with him at the beginning, and then getting the killer to freak out by triggering his stutter. Reid actually laughed at the unsub last night and told him that he was deliberately setting himself up to be caught to get the desired reaction from his father.
And then, of course, Reid got to whack the guy on the head, which only proved Gideon's point told to Reid back in "LDSK," you don't need a gun to take out an unsub.

I liked the episode, but the direction irritated me. The jerky camera angles and the clanging gate was annoying and way too obvious.

I don't know how I feel about Reid hallucinating things specifically related to a crime. It seems a little out there, for a show that (at least to me) seems pretty "non-fantasy."

I was able to buy it. Someone like him, with a photographic memory, it doesn't seem unlikely that he'd manifest what he's most recently absorbed into hallucinations. Proximity and all that.

But weren't they showing the hallucination footage when he was at the doctor's office, before he had gone to work to see the file?

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, at the very beginning of the episode. . . unless the way that part was so confusing that I misunderstood it.

That beginning montage was just the latest murder being depicted and interspersed with Reid's exam, I thought.

I read it the same as Kathy.
