I just got caught up to Season 4 of CM.. is there any way to catch up on Season 5 shows besides itunes?

 

[Imzadi]

Rerun tonight of episode 5 from this season. Not to be confused with all the reruns from past seasons on A&E and ION.

New episode next week.

As far as I know, no. Criminal Minds airs on CBS, but, when I checked online for past episodes, I found the production company is actually owned by ABC. So replaying the shows have fallen into the cracks. CBS.com doesn't show episodes, just clips. And I guess, because it's not technically an ABC show, they don't show it on their website either.

There may be places that show it online. But, when I did a Google search on some of these sites, they make you download something to view their videos. They could be loaded with spyware or viruses. I wouldn't suggest trying them.

Anybody know the name of the song tonight on Criminal Minds when the grandparents find out they have a little boy Michael. Loved it, trying to google but cant find it.

This is the info I found online. I don't know if it's the same song, as I wasn't paying attention.

It is "Such a beautiful thing" by Chris Mills.

Off to watch the Olympic curling competitions. Talk about having a mind twisting experience while watching curling.

I wonder what profilers think of grown men sweeping in front of a huge sliding stone, thinking they have some kind of effect?

Ok, thanks! iTunes it is!

I had the same reaction but with ice dance (Garcia was making jokes about the costumes in my head).

Ok, this is certainly old news, so forgive me, but I'm almost completely caught up to Criminal Minds (and seriously hooked!). I read EW alot and thought how strange it was that the shows not mentioned more. So I did a search and came up with this review. It's actually kind of funny how much they hate it. It's from back in Season 2 when Mandy was still on board, but still worth reading I think.

One of my favorite parts:

Like every procedural crime series of late, Minds is stocked with weary, overworked detective types. But here they also seem bored, bitter, and unengaged. Even pleasantly average NCIS has more chemistry among its actors (the two CBS series each boast female computer geeks of the safely ''punk'' variety). Minds' profilers are led by Mandy Patinkin — so uncharacteristically subdued and detached it's like watching a tranquilized circus bear dreaming of his happy forest days.

Joining him on gray plane rides to ''cities'' that all look suspiciously interchangeable is a team that includes Dharma & Greg's blank-faced Thomas Gibson and the likable Matthew Gray Gubler, who, as the group's young mastermind, sports a cold, fashion-free look. The goal is Brilliant Nerd Chic, but he looks more like a serial killer than the serial killers. (All he's missing is one of those sinister beige cotton Windbreakers.) Like those silly quotes, Gubler's psychiatrist Spencer Reid supplies a veneer of thoughtfulness: He makes scientific-sounding yet incredibly obvious observations such as ''The gun gives him power yet lets him maintain distance.'' (Yes, that's the definition of a firearm, genius.)

They also mention how its not as "smart" as law and order. Now I love law and order, but I really don't think law and order is as smart as Criminal Minds. Not at all actually. Hilarious at how far off base it is. When EW gets something wrong, they go all the way.

Wow! What "bored, bitter, and unengaged" critic wrote that? I wonder if that guy had auditioned for CM and got rejected.

Funny, for such a "bad" show, it's amazing how there is a spinoff series in the works.

It certainly seems that way doesn't it? That review is so full of venom its baffling.

New episode tonight

 

[HillPete]

So I started watching CM around Xmas (my MIL got me into it!) and I watch as many repeats on Ion or whtever so I can catch up. I'm still hopelssly in the dark about a lot of the past storylines. Can someone give me the Cliff's Notes version of the past? It can be a PM if folks don't want to be spoiled.

TIA,
H

Did anyone see the preview for tonight's episode? Criminal Minds commercials on CBS are getting really creepy Or maybe they've always been like that. I just got into the show this season so I've mostly seen the commercials on ION.

Which story lines in particular? This is the fifth season.

I found out last week, when I was looking for the song they played, that the imdb.com not only lists the names & air dates of the episodes, there is a synopsis of what happened in each show. You can click on a particular episode then scroll down & click on plot.

I definitely think this season is creepier and more gory. That, or I've become immune to past seasons from watching the reruns too many times.

I cannot believe the way that article dissed Reid. They were wayyyy off. I have NEVER thought of him as creepy in anyway, muchless as creepy as an unsub.

Glad there is a new episode tonight.

Whats funny is that at first they say mgg is likeable then say hes creepy and a serial killer. So hes a likeable killer?

 

[Terry36]

Ok as a parent this show is a reminder about keeping an eye on your kids at all times...

 

[Imzadi]

Well, I'm PMSing. So this was me tonight:

















Great episode.

 

[Tink9721]

That was an awesome episode! Next week's looks good too!

Is it just me or were Hotch and Rossi barely in tonight's episode?
