Average? When contrasted with the entirety of the show, yes. When speaking of S6? Outstanding.
Did anyone think to check TG's dimples for dust? It's surprising that his face didn't outright crack during his convo with Rossi on the plane.
And a wet Hotch and Morgan... that was a nice treat.
I loved Reid's casual correction of the number of pictures and Morgan's sarcastic relaying of the info back to the team.
One thing this episode did do very well was highlight how testosterone-heavy the team now is. Prentiss and JJ's absences were noticeable. Seaver is getting better, but she doesn't yet have the gravitas and fortitude of character that I've come to expect of females on this show.
Reid really creeped out the cop when he was profiling the victim's body at the hospital.
heh. I am always amused at John Kapelos (who played the Sheriff). Of course my favorite Kapelos cop will always be Don Schanke on Forever Knight.
OMG, that's where I know him from! It's been bugging me all day, and I was too lazy to check IMDB. Thanks Vortex!
And I still think Tim Minear needs to get some compensation from CM's production company. Ashley Seaver is basically Rebecca Locke from The Inside.
And a wet Hotch and Morgan... that was a nice treat.
And Hotch in jeans... TWICE.
I'd say both S5 and S6 have been overall pretty bad. There have been very few really memorable eps in both seasons. For me--S5: 100, Uncanny Valley, Exit Wounds; S6 so far: Corazon, and I can't think of another one that has really stood out, not even Lauren or JJ.
And Hotch shooting him through the water was pretty badass. Although I have two issues with that scene
1. Would the gun work underwater
2. what kind of jackass dives into water wearing a bulletproof vest with metal plates in it?!?!? Both of them!
Ha! I was thinking the same two things, Vortex!
But it was seriously badass.
1. Possibly. Some Glocks can be modified to seal out water, and I'd guess that a lot of Glocks would fire once. However, recoil and noise are quite different under water.
2. They're Kevlar plates. They only weight 3-5 pounds and don't absorb water, so I don't think it would make much difference. They're also moderately difficult to get out of.
fyi - turns out Kevlar may keep out bullets but it's not stain resistant (at least the vests aren't). Found this out from a former co-worker whose boyfriend was a cop. She had this kitten ....
