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

[Imzadi]

That was a very misleading promo. "One of them will be gone." Yeah no kidding They made it sound like someone's dying, which isn't happening. Paget has already said that they're not killing Prentiss, and I'm sure they're not killing off anyone else.

And when that guy sang happy birthday it seriously freaked me out

I think Rossi & the team should celebrate every year. That they are able to bring closure to another family. Not let the unsub have power and "win" every year by bringing Rossi down.

Yup But I still think I'm gonna have nightmares about that guy singing happy birthday

So I'm making my predictions for next week (let's see if I'm psychic too ). The wedding is JJ and Will, and the team member taken hostage is also JJ. As for Prentiss, I have no idea, but it obviously has something to do with the Interpol guy coming back next week.

I think they're trying to throw us all off by having all of the team members' boyfriends/girlfriends in the finale. Will, Kevin, and Beth(Hotch's girlfriend) are all gonna be there apparently. But casting JJ's mother really makes me think the wedding is JJ and Will. I guess she could show up if JJ is taken hostage too, but they've never cast parents for those episodes before. Henry and Jack are both gonna be there too. I would love it if they had a scene together. That would be so cute

I looked to see if Will & Henry were part of the hostages in the bank. I didn't see them.

I think it's just JJ. The only reason I think it's her is because she's the only one who hasn't really been in immediate danger before.

I'm amazed at the number of guest stars next week. I think every recurring character is in the finale. I'm excited And sad because it's the end of the season

And next week I won't be really tired when the show airs. I have finals this week so I'm exhausted right now

good luck on your finals.

 

[Tink9721]

good luck on your finals.

Thank you I'll be done tomorrow afternoon

 

[Imzadi]

Yes, good luck on your finals! You made it through the first year!

J.J. got in that wrestling match this season with the guy in the basement when Morgan went off to check the rest of the house.

 

[Tink9721]

Thank you!! Yes I did!

Well that's true. But I'm talking about like Elle being a hostage on the train back in season 1. That type of danger. It seems like something they would do; she and Will are about to get married and then she gets into a life threatening situation.

Or maybe they'll kill Strauss Wasn't she going to rehab or something? What ever happened with that?

I'm still not sure where Beth and Jack fit into this. I don't think Hotch and Beth are getting married; it's way too soon. Sounds like there's a LOT going on next week: hostage situation, a wedding, Prentiss leaving, probably something in the Garcia/Kevin storyline, something in the Hotch/Beth storyline. Good thing they have two hours

I think Strauss is back to work by now.

What if everyone is showing up just to say good-bye to Prentiss?

 

[snykymom]

Tommy says there are more than 100 names. And he's releasing 1 per year. So Rossi really made a deal with this guy for 1 a year? What happens after 35 or 40 years when one of them is dead? Do the other 60 families not get closure?

Sorry, I don't buy it.

For the finale, I think it's Garcia & Kevin getting married. They had the whole arc of him asking her and her saying no and Morgan giving her advice, etc. I think she'll finally come around to it.

I thought he said there are more than 100 names total. He had just turned over a list of 40 to Rossi when he said that. I guess they figure it's better to get the names they can than nothing at all.

I think there is a real life serial killer where that has happened a few years ago. Out in the Midwest somewhere? Where they think the guy has killed some 100 people but they only found several buried behind his house. They are trying to get the other names out of him. I think they are hoping that right before he dies, he will give over the names of the rest.


What I thought didn't track right was how Hotch had to call at the last minute to get an appointment to see him in prison. If this is a yearly thing they do, as part of him not being on death row, why wouldn't this have been set up ahead of time, like the year before?

OK. You may be right. But that still leaves 60 years (or 57 by the time of the episode).

When Rossi got there, the killer mentioned that the prison was in lockdown and that he was impressed that Rossi got in. It was only through the intervention of a senator that he did.

Thanks, I missed that part.

I think they are going to try to get as many names as they can. Did they find everyone that Jeffrey Dahmer killed? I don't think so. Then he ended up murdered so there may still be missing victims that will never be found.

For the finale, I think it's Garcia & Kevin getting married. They had the whole arc of him asking her and her saying no and Morgan giving her advice, etc. I think she'll finally come around to it.

I also think this is the most logical story line. They already brought up the marriage situation between the two of them. Why would they go off on about a different marriage, unless it's Prentiss, and she's marrying that Clyde Easter guy from England? She might have connected up with him while she was in hiding in Europe, hunting for Doyle. He would have the best European/Interpol connections.

Will & Henry could possibly be brought in to attend the wedding. Henry could be the ring boy.

The actress playing Beth is currently also guest starring each week on Scandal, as the First Lady, the President of the U.S.'s wife. The part is kind of small, but she still is intrinsic to that show. So we will see how much she shows up on CM in the future.

Yeah, I picked up on this too, and he said something like with the new "tight *&#" warden and lockdown...

But then why would JJ's mother be in the episode? She's never been in the show before; they cast her just for the finale. Something's going on with JJ, whether she's the hostage or the bride or both.

It could be for another reason, having nothing to do with the marriage. Mothers show up for other reasons. Prentiss' mom showed up for an episode. So did Reid's mom. In fact, every other character has had a relative or spouse show up on the show except J.J.

It would be strange writing to introduce marriage in one story line, then go off and do it to a different character instead. What does this mean for Garcia & Kevin then to see J.J. get married out of the blue, but not Kevin? He was pretty steamed that Garcia didn't want to get married or even engaged.

It would make sense if she is taken hostage. She comes out of the situation and they decide not to wait because of some sappy reason.
