Loved the eppy! But what really made the episode was the last bit with the BAU Family throwing Reid a Bday party and Emily/Spencer bonding! And to the Garcia Haters...I don't understand how you can hate her. And she didn't do very much in this eppy,anyway. But Whateverz

I loved the episode. I loved the focus on Reid and he was fantastic with it. i love when they choose to incorporate or mention past characters because even past characters shouldn't be forgotten (although I notice they never mention Elle...only once since she departed have they mentioned her). I loved the focus on the Zodiac Killer, was very interesting. I couldn't wrap my head around any of them forgetting Reid's birthday...they've celebrated it before. But loved that family moment of them all throwing him a party. Garcia was awesome...she always is. I think a nice twist could have been if Harvey was the one doing the killings...that would have took the episode to a greater level but it still was good. I did kind of hate that once again Emily is playing "counselor".

Great episode!Gotta question how old the person is who wrote that turning 30 had Ried questioning life 'unrealistic &childish' Really?! Turning 30 is a time of pondering for lots of ppl as is 40 & 50...Funny how they thought the witing childish,&I was thinking whomever wrote the episode must b quite smat themselevs.Allowing a trusted college & mentor kiss your cheeks is different thn s strangers hsndshake;true to his character....Only other comment, Gacia's character was *never* a "joke" to wear thin,rather one of the most original,complex characters ...ever
HAve probably seen every episode since I slum
On the lame network to watch CM. But there is
Something about this season where I keep
Asking myself....WHY is this to the extreme violence on TV ?
Glad the blonde came back.....she's hot, and she makes it worth the Watch.
Why do people (not naming names here) watch and then write in about shows they obviously hate? Dr. Reid is one of the most endearing of characters and many phobias are actually "gut feelings" about things and people. I don't shake hands with people I don't trust, either.
Garcia, we who enjoy the show love you. Finally a character (other than Abby in NCIS) who is not the "norm" but smart, savvy and comfortable with themselves. So don't get rid of Garcia, let them who don't like her character get rid of themselves. Just keep up the wonderful work.

I thought this episode was great. Despite the fact that it was pretty obvious it wouldn't be the real Zodiac, I still enjoyed the way they kept us guessing.
I also enjoyed Reid doubting his career choice. I remember him doubting it before, but not as openly as he did last night. It gave him some depth that I feel he's been missing recently. I also enjoyed that, in a way, the episode was tailored to him. We don't see enough Reid and I'm always happy to get more. I was also impressed with him being the one to talk Caleb down, as he is rarely on the 'frontlines'. It was a refreshing change.

I have been a fan of the best show on television 'Criminal Minds' for many years. I think the other shows that try to be like it are pathetic by comparison.
I taped last night's episode about the Zodiac and it was so excellent.
I'd like to thank all the actors, writers directors, and producers for making it possible for us to enjoy this most wonderful weekly show. You are all wonderful.

I just trun 25 and I have the same feeling as Reid I like how the cut out the plane scene sometimes those really slow the show down Im glad they gave emily something to do I miss her.
Rossi was usefully for the first time since season 4 openrly maybe he worth keeping after all as for the case I knew that it would be that one guy when we saw his speech at the party but did not see the other part until Ried firgure it out.

I liked the episode and thought it was nice seeing Reid talk down the bad guy I also liked the end where Reid told Emily that he felt right being there on the team with them and that he wasn't going to leave then Emily saying good or this would have been awkward then Reid was like what and then she opens the door and it's Reid's surprise party I thought it was kind of funny seeing Rossi kiss Reid on the cheek. I can't wait for the next episode.
Another disappointing episode where the show demonstrated that the writers are childlike in their work. The whole genius thing was far fetched and goes back to Messers childish writing of good verse evil in this case good genius verse evil genius. The only thing missing from this episode was the mask and capes from the characters. As for Reid being extremely rude to the detective does not automatically result to a phobia. If he can allow Rossi to kiss him, I think he can manage a simple handshake. Rudeness does not adequate to quirkiness or phobias. Yet the most irritating thing this week episode was the drama about turning 30 leading to Reid examining his life yet again. Done before when he had the drug problem and this time because he turned 30. Prentiss dying would have had no bearing on his self-pitying conversation with her, especially as Gracia been shot and Hotch stab, so by now you would have thought he got the idea that violence and death come with the job.
