Criminal Minds Evolution 16x05 "Oedipus Wrecks". Here. We. Go!!
Spoilers and play-by-play under the cut.
I LOVE ADS /sarcasm
Opening with "At Last"! Exactly how I feel when I see Emily Prentiss on screen lmao
I wish he said "will you accept this rose?" Is that phrase trademarked do you think?
This situation is mysterious "is this her house?" Is she a ceramicist? Who tf they talking about
Weird family portrait
I hate when I fall asleep on a strange rich person's couch
Ew gross
Title card!
At the doctor with Will & JJ - shockingly, Will has known about his problematic test results for months. I guess the C word was his cue to bring JJ in. Surprising no one, she wants to beat his ass for not telling her earlier. Lmao the threat to call his momma.
I'll be honest. I am enjoying when CM veers into comedy land. The peppy music, Penelope being dramatic and emphatic. The way I see it...CM mostly stopped doing creepy/scary well a while ago, though it still has moments. CM stopped trying to do realistic years and years ago. Why not lean further into the ridiculousness of it all. Idk
PG: "I'm not a problem, I'm a delight! A little dramatic, but wonderful..."
Ew bad guy's a biter
Poor Noodle, he's gettin' profiled babey
Omg Emily's eye makeup looks so pretty in this scene
This is the second time I've heard of Raya (first was on White Lotus) lol I'm so out of the loop on exclusive dating apps u guys
YES PRENTISS USE THAT LEVERAGE
girl knows how to politick
THE SMILE 😍🥰😍
speaking of smile... Every time Luke so much as thinks in Garcia's direction, much less talks about her. Beautiful.
Tara's "sounds like you miss it buddy" is the closest we've come so far to Tara or the team commenting on the Garvez sitch. A crumb!
oh my Garcia's a bit over the top this ep, but I like it. "How's my lady brain gonna process it?"
Ew! You're telling me federal prison hands out (dirty) orange CROCS????????????? No. What. LMAO
"Do you know how this town works?" So politicking is a bit of a theme for this ep
If this is about the unsubs fixation on his mother, who had white/gray hair - I think all y'all speculating about Prentiss tryna seduce the unsub in interrogation are right. They brought up the consequences of that tactic for her ever so briefly in 5x08 "Outfoxed" but didn't fully explore it, and glossed over it completely in the Doyle arc. I wonder if we'll get any sense of her feelings on it here, or what.
LMAO the biter unsub scene, followed immediately by a Dove commercial about dry scaly skin. Uck
Emily in the field! *sigh* she pretty
Ok so...Will is "fine". "Just an inflamed thyroid". Treatable, not life threatening... I'm suspicious. I don't trust a TV writer as far as I can throw 'em and I'm not that strong so. But this is an understandable thing to work on in their marriage - not keeping things from each other (about potentially dangerous situations). But like...is it just me or does it make sense they should have had this conversation after 9x14 "200". Y'know "No more secrets". Maybe they've been having variations on this argument for a while, though that is not how this conversation seemed to me. I can kind of see JJ being very black and white in her thinking, but justifying not telling Will about dangerous situations at work (until after) as not so much keeping a secret (which she was doing about her time in Afghanistan) but as waiting to share info. Anyway. I'm still worried about them/Will. This is not over yet.
Y'know what's adorable? Emily shares case discoveries with a bit of a smile, with enthusiasm (even with Noodle Bailey!). She delights in the hunt, in the solving of the puzzle. She takes pride in her work.
God I love Emily Prentiss. Sorry not sorry for being a broken record about it. The way she's trying to manage up - to school Noodle Bailey in (her brand of) how to lead. "You can either protect the people you serve, or protect your ass, but you can't do both."
We'll see where this goes but I appreciate that Bailey seems to be developing a respect for Prentiss.
OH MY GOD. IT'S SABRINA'S AUNT ZELDA (Beth Broderick) as the Senator! Hi lady!
This is interesting. She's saying her son needs to get back out on the fundraising circuit to rehab his (her) image. Remind us of anyone's backstory? Maybe.......the Ambassador Prentiss connection? I wonder if the writers will remember that about Emily and use it explicitly or not.
YOIKES. CREEPY. "and you will not bark argue" 👀 I had to turn on closed captioning because I really thought she said bark
WTF is up with these guys
haha remember when I said like three sentences ago that CM doesn't do creepy well?
"I'm gonna have to thread the needle just right to get a confession"... Here we go baby! Eeeeeep. (never over her hair)
She a boss ass bitch this season and I'm not mad about it
what if............this makes me feel things
omg what if by the end of these 10 eps she fucks Bailey. Of course she could do better (and gayer), but...get it girl, if you want it. that noodle should be so lucky.
............ Y'all...........I'm feeling things...........
🥵🥵🥵
Finally an actual statement about her hair. And what a statement.🔥🔥🔥I had assumed it would pretty much go uncommented, unless somebody else (like Morgan) brought it up. Very happy to be proven wrong.
oh, the politically connected...
the brief but charged face off betw Prentiss & the Senator. be still my beating heart.
Y'all. I'm.......I got it bad.
A KITTEN!!!!?!!! But how will Old Man Sergio feel?
ZELDA V. PRENTISS cage match! I literally just shouted "OH HO HO HO!" in my quiet apartment like a nut. Slide that on over to Bailey, here's your chance to become a man Mr. Noodle!
oh the betrayal. If she does fuck him, it's gonna be a hate fuck (she's not gonna fuck him).
WHOA! DID NOT EXPECT. HE'S MR. 20K. DAYUM.
lol "you don't need them. she's your mom. " *teeth chomps*. The nonchalance. This is way scarier than him pathetically cleaning up blood with his daddy hallucination
christ she's so hot
I'm struggling over here
Y'all i started this episode like 2 hours ago it's taken me so long to get through because I keep pausing to write (& rewatch certain scenes)
I gotta take a friend to the airport in like 10 minutes
JJ you gotta call your husband! Boy you are not super great at this thing you pinky promised to do.
I feel waiting for backup is not the worst idea....
Are they gonna get stuck in there
Oh no
NO NO NO OH NO
F U C K
those fucking rat bastards, leaving me on this cliffs edge....(so i really enjoyed that ep so much!!)
