Criminal Minds has a tendency to overexaggerate things to the point where it detracts from the episode. Why can’t we see what the bad guy is doing without flashing lights or all those other gimmicks? To be sure, that’s my reaction after watching how Justified follows bad guys around for an extended period of time. For once, I’d like to see a criminal do his thing with little background music or too many fast cuts from shot to shot.
Emily has this big new story waiting for her, which is great, but the flashback we see makes no sense based on what we know of her character. In the flashback, we see Emily doing gardening in a foreign country before being arrested. Then, this other guy gets arrested and calls someone else warning about spy agencies. Huh?
And about Reid’s headaches…
Score: 8.5/10
