Well, he was riding high on self-pity at that point. I can see them moving back to friendship pretty quickly.

I was kind of surprised he didn't smack her down a lot harder. I was not at all certain that when she asked "what happens now?" she didn't basically mean "so are we back on then?" From his reaction I'm pretty sure he went there too. So I'd say he was striking out for more reasons than just that.

(Not that I disagree that they'll be back to normal in .25 episodes.)

Promo: Speaking of. Way to undercut the tension. "Will their hormones get the better of them?" I'm sure whatever happens it won't be that, but still not the note I'd end that scene on.

I think that he thought that she meant "so does that mean we can get together now?" Which she may have meant, in part.

I just got around to watching this week's CM, and I am really disliking the focus on the unsubs. I don't watch to see their creepy shit, I watch to see smart/hot/interesting FBI agents solve crimes.

I totally want to second what Vortex said - the unsubs don't interest me. The agents figuring out the unsubs does. And I also want some fun interaction between the agents - "He looks so real".

I used to really like when an unsub ep came up because it was the same chase from a different camera angle, but it has become both really overused, in my opinion, and they've stopped showing the same chase. Now it's different scenes, not just different angles. Do not like.

Yes, it was occasionally interesting (i.e. the one with Alex O'Loughlin where he filmed himself with his glasses), but too much unsub! What's changed? Writer? Producer? Director?

This unsub was interesting, to a degree, but we never found out anything about him. Other than he was a mad scientist type, but when they had all the dreamscaped flashbacks to gently waving laundry and Little House on the Prairie sorts of scenarios, I thought we were at least going to find out something interesting about the guy. But no, they found out where he lived and the chase was on and that was it.

I did love the scene with Reid calling Emily-- and discovering that she did, indeed, get a cat.

The Great Writer's Purge after S4 did this show no favors. They lost some of their best and most consistent writers, and then CBS/ABC Studios threw a cruise ship full of money to Chris Mundy to helm the spinoff. We see how well that worked out. He's out of a job, and the mothership is floundering.

I miss how smart this show used to be.

Kinda makes me glad I can't see it anymore. It doesn't sound like the show I fell for anymore.

(i.e. the one with Alex O'Loughlin where he filmed himself with his glasses)

Exactly.
