"Suspect Behavior, though with high viewership and ratings was negatively reviewed by critics, with "Salon" calling it the worst show of 2011."
Yes, there is a lot missing from this show. It's like the writers never really watched the 5 years of CM, or the fact that it's now re-running so much, that details we might have missed the first time, we get the second time we watch. And the stuff that works get highlighted the second time around. These are details these writers don't seem to understand.
For instance, what Kirby said below:
Garcia also seemed harried (to me) when asked for help. Maybe we were seeing her office from another side? We usually see her from one side of the room. Maybe she has another computer that she uses on consults from other units.
They seen like a hodge podge of people put together at the last minute. No one seems to behave like they have worked in a BAU before except maybe FW. Maybe he's got a group of renegades and that's why the director comes to them. What I don't understand if why they are above a gym instead of an office building.
Yes, in the pilot episode of CM, it was quite evident that Hotch, Morgan & Reid had all worked together for quite a while, and they went to re-activate Gideon's working status and pick him up. It was clear they each knew Gideon and that there were ongoing relationships.
The SB team really does seem hodge-podge and that thy don't really know each other. There's no working chemistry. Did they even interact and say more than two lines to each other the whole show? Other than to talk the violent agent down from his rage? The majority of their interaction was with FW.
Belle linked to a description of what the Homeland Security Red Cells do. Sounds necessary, different, specialized for unique situations.
Why did
this particular case need some rogue, covert team? It was an average child abduction. We saw episodes like that when the girl was abducted from a shopping mall & it turned out to be the aunt. Or the one that happened at a carnival, right next to her mother, who was purposely distracted & looking away so they could grab her daughter. That one turned out to be serial abductions over many years. The regular BAU handles this stuff all the time.
As for Garcia, there were times when she has been able to patch into the FBI computers when she was brought in on a case, like when she worked that pig farm case, and the more recent one when they went up to Alaska, and Garcia, herself witnesses a guy being murdered in the middle of the night out in the woods.
That British guy seems to have quite a handle on the computer stuff. Why can't he just tie into the FBI computers the way Garcia does when she's on location on a case?
What IS with the Director needing to visit them?
Hotch, the Unit Chief of the whole BAU, not just of his team also had to go visit FW, who was just sparring in the gym. FW, obviously had the time and
should have had the due respect for Hotch's position to go to Hotch's office to see HIM.
Since Rossi & FW, both have been at the bureau for about as long, who visits who, when they need to talk?
Maybe non-Academy Award winners are supposed to go visit the award winners, but, in terms of this TV show, it doesn't play.
I really hope AJ Cook's salary didn't go to fund Forrest Whitaker's higher asking price. So far, it hasn't proved to be worth it.
Anyhow, if any of the guys were caught the gov't would deny their mission and their existence. I've no proof of it but I'm certain we've an agency like that in real life. 
I wonder when that was taken in comparison to when she was taken from where she was with Ian? 
We planned to be back in the room by 9:00 because we have to get up at like 4:00 tomorrow morning. So after a few hours in the Magic Kingdom, we'll go back to our room and watch CM. Does that sentence sound odd to anyone else?
