Criminal Minds -- DIS Official Thread 1 (SPOILERS!)

[Tink9721]

Yes, lots of twists & turns all around. No straighforward story lines.

Yup! It reminded me of the older episodes. Lately they've been showing the unsub right away, not really letting us guess anything. This was a nice change

 

[Imzadi]

They have new executive producer this season, who runs the whole show and makes all the final decisions, called naturally, the showrunner, Debra Messer. She, pretty much has been one of the producers since Season 1. I was concerned which direction the show would go in, and whether a new producer at the helm would be really noticable - in a bad way. But, she's done really well so far. Added more heart & personal stories to the team. And except for what seems to be coming up next week with Hotch, I like what she's added to the show.


Tink, thanks for the heads up about Hotch possibly meeting someone new. I think I need the full week to acclimate to it. It's kind of like when you find out your ex boyfriend has moved on & is dating someone else finally. Only, I never got a chance.

I've really loved this season so far! All of the team interaction is great. Even the little scenes like the one with Garcia and Reid tonight about ghosts

You're welcome I didn't think you'd be happy about it so I decided to warn you in advance so you wouldn't explode next Wednesday

Where was everyone else tonight? It was just you and me at the CM party! We kept it pretty lively though

I have a feeling that was more self-preservation on your part. You didn't want to see the explosion next week. All the *&#%# $*^%!!!! next week and me possibly being banned off the DIS.

Yes, in spite of the DIS being so slow tonight.

I think my friend did a great job as the doctor. It was a small part, but he carried it well. He's only been in LA for about six months. Congrats to him on landing a part in a network program in such a short time.

At least you have a week to mentally prepare yourself

I agree! He did do a great job!

I thought he did well too.

Yes, congrats for landing not only a network show, it is a primetime TV show and tops in the ratings. About #16 overall in all shows. That really makes a difference in casting. He will be called in more for upcoming projects.

I have a friend who once wanted to fire his agent of several years, who seemed not to be doing much for him. But, he landed a very tiny, 2 line role on ER, while ER was still in the top 5 of the ratings. Even though his part was so non-descript and generic, and there were no stars in his scene, (so he couldn't put it on his demo reel,) the fact that it was on his resume made a WORLD of difference in him suddenly being called in for more auditions.

It turned out that his agent was submitting him for roles, but not having very much on his resume, and all the shows he had listed, not being top shows, casting directors weren't considering him, when there were other actors he was up against who DID have more successful credits.

Just ER being on his resume, saying the casting director of ER thought he was good enough to be on his show, made the difference. No one needed to see that small clip of him. The resume credit did all the work. His acting hadn't changed any, he was still going to acting class. But he was certainly getting into more auditions. And just being at more auditions did help him to book more roles.

Your friend not only has a great resume credit, he does have film footage with stars from a highly recognizable show that he can now add to his demo reel. For the majority of actors, the road isn't an overnite success. It is building up those credits one at a time and having them build to a good resume & reputation of good solid work, like your friend did.

He definitely has much to be proud of.

Hi Hope! There was a new one on Wednesday. I'll post a link for you when I get home (DISing from my phone haha). There will be a new one next week too

Here's a link for this week's episode. The youtube user who uploads them doesn't have it up yet but they do have them on CBS.com this season:

I saw it on CBS.com this week because for some reason my DVR decided to go on strike.

I thought this was a great episode, well written and of course well performed. I didn't see the coming attractions because I saw it on CBS.com, but I hear something about Hotch and a woman?

I'm happy to see them looking a little bit more at the agents lives outside of the BAU, it makes the characters more interesting and I'm sure it's more fun for the actors.

Sheesh! It only took them SEVEN years.

 

[Tink9721]

Is it really Wednesday again? This past week went by REALLY fast!

New episode tonight. Not sure if I am looking forward to the Hotch storyline in this one.



Anyway, here are a few funnies in the mean time.

Female unsub:

The Ronald McDonald unsub:

 

[Tink9721]

 

[Tink9721]

Imzadi, please try not to explode

 

[Imzadi]

I don't like her.

I don't think Hotch was all that into her either. If Rossi has to persuade him to go out with her, and he wasn't that smitten with her to be junping at the chance to go out with her. . . well you know that saying, "He not that into her." Hmph!

 

[Imzadi]

Garcia was funny.

 

[Tink9721]

"He's standing there isn't he?"
"Hi Garcia."

 

[Imzadi]

Geez, there is more overall violence in this episode than when the unsub just stabs people.
