More Criminal Minds
Sep. 14th, 2008 10:00 pmChildren of the Dark (304) pleased me quite a bit. We got to see a little more strength-to-cover-the-weakness.
The thing that really pleased me was Tyler. He reminds me of Nathan (Reid's troubled young man). Life is pretty much grooming both to be monsters, but they choose where they direct their destruction. Another for my growing list of storykinks.
And yay, Prentiss, wanting to ride to the rescue. (I've been reading
matociquala's treatises; I couldn't escape the Arthur even if I wanted to.) Everything about that, Hotch's concern, Emily's reply, JJ's input, was all so very well done. *pleased*
Seven Seconds (305) pleased me inordinately. We saw a little bit of rationality from the freaked out parents--panicked but able to be talked down from it. (On the other hand, I would've been sorely tempted to reply to "why is the FBI here, then?" with "you would rather we weren't?" but that wouldn't have helped in the least.)
The confrontation between Emily and the aunt was wonderful. (Dear aunt: victim blaming for the lose.) Go Emily! She's showing a real protective streak these days.
I was a little bit "meh" on the miracle ending though. Because of reading
matociquala, I got to thinking about time without oxygen to the brain. And then there's the part about the stats on CPR working (granted, they had more than that working for them). It seemed a bit like a pulled punch.
