i’ve been rewatching hannibal lately and i’m genuinely fucking befuddled these two are the way they are. like this extremely fragile goddamn FBI profiler suddenly darkens your doorstep and you, a cannibal serial killer, take one look at him and are immediately like “i will make you mine if it is the last damned thing i do” and then you both embark in a weird dark psycho-sexual relationship and literally no one around you has any idea what’s going on between you two for the longest time

Let me introduce you to a strange beef I have with one of the creative members of Criminal Minds.
There was a period of time where I was really into forensic psychology, I was intrigued by the concept of it depicted in Criminal Minds so I started reading forensic psychology textbooks and coursework. There was one section in Criminal Profiling: An Introduction To Behavioral Evidence Analysis by Brent E. Turvey (Fourth Edition) that touched on a now retired FBI profiler called Jim Clemente, in a section about the often flawed and biased nature of the court testimony given by so called "expert profilers". In fact the first half of the textbook is basically just dedicated to explaining how untrustworthy and frequently inaccurate profiling is. Turvey preceded to absolutely rip apart the way Clemente presented his credentials and proof of expertise in the most coldly brutal yet academic manner. For context there were ten whole pages specifically just discussing SSA Clemente's expert witness testimony.
And obviously what I'm getting at is the fact that Clemente was the advising expert on Criminal Minds. He was naturally retired by this point, since I don't think agents are allowed to advise on TV shows when they're still active, but he had worked on numerous high profile (hah) cases before he left the FBI.
Now, onto why I really don't like this dude.
Just looking at the show, it's not clear how much of an influence he had on it, at least not without knowing a little bit about our man Jimmy. Once you do, it becomes clear that he straight up copy and pasted elements of his own life onto the show in some bizarre cool person narrative ego trip.
Have you ever noticed how many times the members of the BAU bring up the case of the DC snipers? It's more than once if you weren't counting. How they often mention how accurate the profile was and generally just use it as a touchstone of "good" profiling?
You'll never guess who created that profile in real life.
They never go so far in the show as to actually name drop Clemente but the constant reference of it is as good as.
We all know and love the team leader of the BAU, right? Good old Aaron Hotchner. His backstory is pretty interesting as well, wouldn't you agree? Prosecutor to BAU profiler, that's neat.
You know who else started as a prosecutor before being recruited as a profiler for the BAU? If you said Robert Ressler you would be wrong but if you said Jim Clemente you would be bang on the money.
There are more, much smaller bits and pieces I've noticed on rewatches. Phrases and metaphors that I've heard Clemente use on video before that he's clearly adding to the scripts (he's done several breakdown style videos on YouTube), it's just a little bit here and there and it irks me to no end.
There isn't anything sinister here. Nothing actually problematic. I just know too much about retired SSA Jim Clemente and I need other people to know about this too because I'm rewatching Criminal Mind and I just can't stop seeing his influences in the shows and it's so annoying.

I've been thinking about the ending of Criminal Minds 6x02 where they are all instantly so desperate to save the BAU upon learning it could be dissolved or absorbed by another department.
All of the other times this has happened (with Strauss, Barnes) we've seen it through the eyes of the team members and how personally antagonizing it is to all of them on top of the professional stress.
Because of the constant trauma bonding and unhealthy amount of time spent together over the years, their quest to keep the BAU together seems more and more personal each time.
Due to the nature of their profession, we're supposed to view them as the most reliable narrators, but it's starting to become obvious that it isn't just about saving the BAU or righting bureaucratic wrongs.
They depend on each other emotionally (even though none of them would ever admit it) and the BAU being disbanded would be devastating to each of them in a life-altering way that they can't even fathom.
The team will always put their careers and personal lives on the line to keep the BAU intact because they have become each other's strongest familial relationship and they absolutely need this.
