I was so excited for you to watch this episode! It's one of my top favorites, but I knew I couldn't say anything about it because of your "no spoilers" rule lol. Obviously in the context of this episode it takes a dark turn, but the concept of synesthesia has always fascinated me, and it was so interesting to see it represented on Criminal Minds!

I mean.... Dr Percy was not wrong about the zoo having larger scanners.... On the rare occasion where a scan is needed and the patient exceeds the weight limit, hospitals have used scanners from a zoo.

I have to giggle going through this playlist every time you mention recognizing actors, and I kept thinking the same thing. But I just came to the realization last night that most of the actors I "recognize" are because I recognize them FROM Criminal Minds. Lmfao felt a little dumb once I realized. 😂😂😂 Been loving this playlist - thank you!!

he held the boys for 2 years. she had been locked up for 15 years. and she had been giving him instructions through a code in the letters the guard was sending for her.

Gotta love it when they hit you with the “to be continued “ lol

SPOILER...CHUCK IS GOD - verified in season 10

this show is great. just started watching it last month.

I never understood why they didnt offer his job to Rossi he would beable to play the pollicts game better.

it doesn't hurt less with time. it never lets up

Ooh this one is chilling and cemented season 11 as one of the best seasons of the show. It REALLY feels like a throwback to season 1-2 Also what this lady does to Spencer makes my skin crawl. Yeah she’s messing with everyone and yeah it would be super gross and creepy for anyone, but considering Spencer is the one who has the most anxiety about germs and physical contact from strangers, it’s like it’s she knew and targeted him for it.

Haha funny how you mention the BAU 😂 I started watching Criminal Minds cause it was always on right before The Mentalist

Memorable episode! Really like Van Pelt's performance. She is so expressive and natural.

Finally man .... I was waiting for this episode. You are the man because you picked this show to react to ... This is by far my favorite show because the if the character of Patrick Jane ... He has his own code of justice .. and that what i like about him.

Man the kids conversation just keeps coming back

Ohh he's piecing it together can't wait for the finale reaction!

"So where's the line between that and Denny?" Great question

This is still one of the best episodes in the whole show!!🥰

Him driving was such a terrible idea.

I encourage posting the rest of the season by next Monday

This is one of my favorite ep

A storm is coming...guess you will find out soon

This and the next episode are just SO good! 🤯❤️

I'm glad to see that all that time with Criminal Minds is paying off 😉

If the gun was a prop all along then why was the Yamada family killed? Is it bcs they failed the test which meant they chose the son to be killed? I still dont get that part

This episode was meant to be aired the season before if you’ve seen the original it’s the episode where Hodgins first asks Angelina to marry him that we never see

I actually had forgotten this episode. I find it disturbing how quickly I knew the wife was telling the truth based on the kids behaviour. I have unfortunately seen what happens when an abusive father raises his children to believe the worst of their mother. The things they were saying we're so obviously drilled into them that I knew it was true. Sidenote: If I said "Stimi" right now would anyone else know what I was talking about?

Please don't take this as me being mean - it just made me chuckle at 17:26...while you're actively looking at the guy on screen, "I can see his face, I just can't put a name to it." I 100% know what you meant, but the wording just made me giggle! Please give your beautiful doggos pats, kisses and extra treatos for me! 😊🐾

This is why i am always nice to doctors, because you never know that they had to deal with before seeing you. They have to go from something like that to walking around and talking to other patients. All ways be kind.

I thought his ex was dead too. Also she is on Abbott Elementary

I laughed so hard at, "I'm totally calling this guy the 'Weenie Snatcher!'" that water came out of my nose onto a very startled and confused unsuspectiing husky. (I promise it's my husky lmao.)

Only just now realized that both the warden and the husband are in Supernatural. The warden is Joshua, the angel who can speak to God. The husband is Kubrick, who is in one of my favorite episodes: Bad Day at Black Rock. He works with Gordon Walker to try to kill Sam. Only recognized the warden by his voice. The lawyer was actually in Supernatural as well in season two episode eighteen. Knew I recognized him from somewhere! That's bizarre having all three people in the same episode playing on Supernatural at different times.

I love the intro song, its called "This World" by Selah Sue 😊😊

Love both Tara and Aisha Tyler! 😊😊

Where to watch criminal minds episodes? I can't find them.on youtube

I'm confused how Clark is included as an intern when he dos have a doctorate and has an actual position in the historical side of Jeffersonian, whereas Brennan does the crime portion

He always says he understands but then describes why he doesn't understand lol

4:04 “life is short george” i’m not crying ur crying.

The Miz

8:27 - 8:37 😂

The show's audio has a weird sort of reverb , the dialogues aren't very understandable.

Lmao got the leg😂

I swear it's a bad sign to be a kid in a highchair on this show unless you belong to a main character. I'm also with Prentis here about the mom. Not because her baby crying in the other room is a reason to live though. I would wager statistics say that mother's either: A) drop their kid off somewhere safe before they take their life or B) take the kid with them as a murder suicide. You don't just abandon the baby. That is probably statistically unheard of. Most mother's instinctually would want to see the baby cared for. And yes killing their children with them is a form of this. It's a twisted logic, but an unfortunately common enough one.

😮😢

I love Paul Johanson ❤

What i liked about this episode is the ending even though Reid lost his girlfriend and he felt like he's alone, He's never alone this season he's got Rossi, Blake, Garcia, Hotch, Morgan, and JJ!

18:51 He committed "Suicide by Cop; an encounter in which a suicidal person attempts to die by suicide by forcing a law enforcement officer to use lethal force" he stated Van Gogh sold "two paintings" in reality he sold only one, he wanted validation so "he can be seen" so he forced the BAU to shoot him so he can have his "murderous fringe art" be sold even though they asked him not to do.

This was my favourite episode

26:26 - "Oh NOW it's personal!" Oh sweetheart, you have no idea. 😂

NO BUSINESS LIKE CHO BUSINESS!!!
