Criminal Minds
After 5 season , Criminal Mindshas finally reached the episodic milepost of the coveted 100 episode mark . While many serial have reach it before , one tends to blank out just how many years it takes to reach such a telephone number . As with most serial , the hundredth episode is commonly a particular one andCriminal Mindsis no different . Criminal Mindscelebrated their milepost with the conclusion of their Reaper plot line and male child what an sequence it was .
The season premiere in Septembershowed the Reaper causing havoc in the sprightliness of BAU leader , Aaron Hotchner , which led him to have his family put into protective custody - but fans be intimate that the story would n’t end there . There had to be a closing , but I think it ’s safe to say that no one could have guessed the outcome that we visualise last night .
The episode was deliver in one of my least preferent data format ; where the close of the story is in the beginning and we expend the entire instalment catching up the 2 hour we saw in the beginning . Although , to give citation to the writers , the agency this episode unfolded not only nullified whatever hatred I had for said episodic data formatting , but had me sit down on the edge of my rump the full way .
With my originalreview of the season premiere , I was none too kind to C. Thomas Howell ’s portrayal of George Foyet aka the harvester , but I must now apologize because the operation he delivered in this episode was above and beyond all expectations . The fashion his character ’s cleverness , ingeniousness and heartlessness arise throughout this installment was just wonderful , yet terrifying , to watch .
So far I ’ve attempted to deliver my persuasion coddler gratis , but I feel like there ’s no way I could discuss the last part of the episode without them .
[ Spoiler Warning ]
Holy crap . I ’m saying those word because I ’m not let to write the other form , but I assure you that ’s on the nose what I ’m thinking and feeling .
The whole electric cell phone conversation with Hotchner and his married woman while the Reaper is sitting there playing with his child was the most acute matter I ’ve go through all year . Not only was I speechless , sitting on the edge of my seat , but at some point I was so affiliated to Hotchner that I bulge out mimic his emotions .
I do n’t care who you are or how manly of a Isle of Man you take to be ( I am extremely manly ) , if you hear to the conversation between Hotchner and his wife when they both know it would be their last and did n’t squall , even a little , you ’re lie .
To be honest , I did n’t conceive they ’d do it . I did n’t believe they would stamp out her off , and in such a horrific style - so brutally . Although , I did think that the 2nd twist would be that when Hotch shot into the curtain thinking it was the harvester that it would be his son . Happily , I was wrong .
Here ’s hop-skip for 100 more because I ’m in it for the long haul .
Enough of my sucking up . What didyouthink of this episode ? Where you able-bodied to keep it together during their net conversation ? How do you feel about how they killed of Hotchner ’s wife ? What about Hotchner ’s final moments with the Reaper and his clenched fist ?
Speak now or forever hold your peace .
