#the tension w emily was exciting and intriguing... the tension w hotch was kinda pathetic and a little frustrating.. at best it was boring

The Foyet and Doyle arcs are probably the best 'big bad' arcs of the show but they still both have one massive flaw in that the setup was good and then they really do not stick the landing. Which given the similarities between 100 and It takes a village (legal inquiry things w flashbacks) makes me wonder if they run out of steam towards the end or struggled to make the story compelling within the limitations of that framing, if you get what i mean

i completely fucking agree. it feels like such a cheap way to end it? like they couldnt figure it out?? i was worried it was gonna be one of those things where they stick to a formula and call it tradition as an excuse for how bad it still is, but thankfully they stopped doing it after that

like it's just such a weird way to tell the story? why can't it be just a regular criminal minds episode lmao that wouldve been so much better, even if it was normal. i'd take 'perfectly average' over 'unnecessary narration/complication that's really just irritating' any day

#and emily SPEECH at the end of it takes a village....... we dont talk about it akjshdlgfkajhdg #sorry babe but please shut the fuck up #asks #cm crit #endgame spoilers #and like?? other than the narration part 100 was pretty good #it takes a village..... it was just awful #like....... this is how id rank them #100 beginning (5x01/02)-good | middle (5x03-5x08): bad | end (5x09/10): ok #lauren beginning (6x13-6x16) ok | middle (6x17/18/20) good | end (7x01) bad #the tension w emily was exciting and intriguing... the tension w hotch was kinda pathetic and a little frustrating.. at best it was boring #their initial confrontations w their villains are both so fucking good akjshdlgkj #the knife.... the stake...... these bitches gettin stabbed and we love to see it #at least 100 was. fine. it had good moments even if the rest was kinda ehhhh #like foyet torturing the marshall and killing haley... fantastic moments. exactly the kind of brutality expected of a cm Big Bad.. chilling #the strauss interrogation throughout the whole thing and the five minute scene of hotch just breathing loudly were unnecessary #(and tbh the fight was. a little anticlimactic. foyet talking ab killing jack was funny tho akjshlk) #it takes a village tho..... there aren't even good moments to speak of #even the reunion was nothing special. it was so... underwhelming (other than maybe morgan who carried the epiosde anyway) #doyle looked like shit too ajskhdlgj he looks so OLD KJASLDKGH especially in the wife beater lmaoooooooo #i'll never get over that kjashdlkjfgh #anyway. sorry 4 taking so long to respond ajksdhlg i just wasnt sure how much to say ab all this #bc let me tell you i have to much more to say skjdhlagjkhldhflkgj
