Who's Your Favorite Character?

Who’s your favorite? Can you even decide?

Reid

Reid brilliantly solves cases when you are sure that they won’t be solved.

The brilliance wows me every single time. He is a human encyclopedia. While I am watching an episode, he says something and I am just like what? Reid makes me laugh. Does he make you?

Morgan

Morgan has it all, the looks, the clever and the charisma. Without him in the show, well, there would be no criminal minds. He leads the team when Hotch becomes suspended. You know when the Reaper comes back, well, Morgan gets thrown through a window. He does not let Foyet get to him.

Hotch

Hotch develops as a character through the seasons. He holds the team together. He is the rock of criminal minds.  Hotch never smiles. I think he smiles once maybe. Hotch amazes me how he deals with all that happens. What do you think?

Prentiss

She comes in third season, I believe and she adds to the show. She completes the team. I cannot pinpoint what I like most about her. Can you? Is it that she finds a way to get inside the criminal?

JJ

I absolutely love JJ. She almost is never on the field working but she deals with the media. She commits to her job, choosing the cases that need to be solved. She is the eyes and ears of the show and now that she is gone, the whole show feels off. Were you upset that she left?

Rossi

To be honest, I was first never a fan of Rossi’s, but something changed. He now fits with the show. He brings the team together. He may not be the center but he certainly brings the team to see new perspectives. Gideon was awesome but Rossi grows on you.

Garcia

Garcia, the computer analyst completes the show from the start. She knows her place. She finds the criminals. She definitely is the heart of the show. She grows and when she gets shot, her innocence in the field is shown.

Who is your favorite? What makes that character your favorite? Ponder that for a night and see if you can choose.

All About Foyet!

“Are you scared? You should be.”

Do you remember him?

I definitely do. The reaper or Foyet goes beyond any serial killer on this show. He always stabs in most cases the women and shoots the men. Haley is the exception to the rule. He makes deals with a detective so that he stops killing. This only works for 10 years as you all know and he starts killing again. The detective dies and reveals the deal to Hotch. Well, Hotch just wont have it and refuses to make another deal with Foyet. This leads to 6 murders on a bus. The BAU catches him once but then he escapes from prison because he studied the blue prints while not killing. He takes one item off of his victim and puts it on the next victim.

The reaper, in his sadistic mindset, stabs himself pretending to be the last of the reaper’s victims. He cuts all ties, basically going off the map.  

Foyet and Morgan

In order to protect Foyet from getting killed by the reaper, he gives them the addresses to find them, but the team does not know which one he is at. Morgan braves the dark house alone and the reaper lurks in the dark. Morgan looks for Foyet, however he gets pushed through a window by the reaper. "Wake up Derek, its time to die."  Since Morgan was unconscious, the reaper could not kill him, however he takes his credentials.

Foyet and Hotch

Hotch figures out that Foyet is the Reaper. Now the hunt begins. As you all know, the reaper is determined to destroy Hotch. Foyet impersonates a US Marshall and gets Haley to go to a house with Jack because she is now in danger. Hotch calls Haley while Foyet is there and Hotch tells Jack to “work the case.” Foyet shoots Haley and waits for Hotch to get to the house. Hotch ends up killing Foyet in a battle between the two and must now deal with being a single dad. 

Anticipation: Criminal Minds

“What they do will blow you away. How they do it will blow your mind. “

When I talk to my friends about Criminal Minds; they either love or hate the show. But who would ever hate this show? Like seriously . . . My friends think criminal minds is sweet. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like the show. Whenever, I mention Criminal Minds, they usually say, “Let’s watch!” or, “Yeah.”  

“Focus on the criminal not the crime,”

and “the way to a criminal is through his mind.”

When watching Criminal Minds with friends, we can see the “aha moment,” suspense, and intensity. Each episode focuses on the unsub, nothing more, and nothing less. My friends and I almost always cling to the edges of our seats when watching, except if we have already seen the episode. The weekends are the worst. Marathons run all weekend, and I make some of my friends stay up with me until 3 in the morning to watch. This show never grows old.

   The crazy psychopaths

The killers keep the show exciting. The first 10 minutes heighten the intensity of the rest of the episode. You cannot miss any of these minutes or else you miss the crime. Even 5 minutes late ruins it. My friends say, “It’s fine,” and I just look at them and say, “No, it’s really not.” Each killer has their own unique killing style, and each new episode brings fear to my friends. At the same time, the episodes strike us with awe. We sometimes say, “That was a cool crime,” or, “What in the world?!”

  The insane endings

Morgan and Reid, along with the rest of the BAU, always, and I mean always, figure it out and catch the unsub in the last 5 minutes. They always race to the crime scene. The BAU save the last victim either by hiding them or stopping the unsub just before he or she kills the victim. In the last 10 minutes, my friends and I usually predict that the victim will make it. We are usually right, and we sigh in relief. There is hope.
