I think that the cast of "Criminal Minds" is one of the best on TV. They all have chemistry with one another and are equally good actors by themselves. However, I've noticed during the past season that the show has gotten more gruesome and sadistic in their stories, and after this latest episode I am not watching it anymore. There were 3 different real crimes this past week which are similar to stories that are or have been on "Criminal Minds" and one wonders if this show gave the killers the sick ideas that they have done to their victims.

he figured that every guy that looked at my mum while walking on the street was her lover - and then big fights and sometimes beating, thowing whatever - even sharp - objects on her..and sometimes he even punched the poor guy who looked at her. He burned down the car of our neighbor - the supposed lover of my mum. Over the time she completely gave up and didn´t fight back,she didn´t want to give him any opportunity to be jealous, so she almost didn´t talk to anyone nor go out. She would have never left him beacause - in her own words: "he would definitely find me and kill me". In his psychotic way, he deeply loved her and he would have never let her go - and if he couldn´t have her - so no one else could. Reid probably called her first for a concultation in terms of his headaches and then they developped the relationship, which seems real to me: the socially isolated woman suddenly hears someone so nice, peaceful, caring and even talented and interesting, I defenitely think it´s p

I think that there is no connection to the unsub with the pictures of the team from the first episode. The whole story seems to me much more prosaic - and untill I have read some of the posts here, I had absolutely no doubts and did´t see any mystery in the Reid-geneticist relationship: she is married to a very jealous and violent husband who tracks all her phone calls and allows her to work only in their appartment (the big desk where she was making notes during the consulation for Reid suggests that) - she is probably a geneticist who offers phone or mail consultations, or ske runs some major study (writing at home). Maybe the husband doesn´t forbid her to go out completely, but probably just with him or she is being followed by some hired detective. Or at least she is afraid of being followed. The husband is probably a psychopatic paranoic. My father was quite similar, and if my mum had left him, he would have killed her lover and probably even her. He was so paranoid that he figu

I thought the main part of the story was one of the gorier ones, but I do like Ray Wise. As far as Spencer goes I am not sure what exactly is going on between him and his female caller, but it does appear that both are smitten with one another. The fact that this mystery woman is so worried about whoever "he" is possibly hurting Spencer makes me wonder whether "he" won't become an UNSUB in an upcoming episode. It seems like the mystery woman's life might be in danger too, so whoever "he" is, he sounds violent. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

this show was one of a different kind, what with the curious situation with this woman; in a way, I hope they continue with their 'relationship' - and in a way.....it's driving me crazy. :-)

Did anyone consider the possibility that she might be schizophrenic?

My first thought was that she was some kind of hallucination or something. I don't know why, but i dont think she's real, but i guess we'll learn more as the weeks go on. is it possible to hallucinate a person, but not be able to see them? lol.

There was a post that said she might be blind. I do not think so. In a number of shots she was show as looking out a window and moving the blinds to see out. This it would seem to imply that she could see.
On a technical issue, there is the problem that many pay phones have their ringers shut off (so they can not receive calls). Also, when this is done, there is no indication on the phone of what that phone's number is (so he could not send the number as a page for the call-back).

This episode was gruesome, and I had to turn away many times when they displayed the leg(s). Horrid. But a very good episode and I always enjoy Ray Wise in anything he's in. Reaper was cancelled too soon. I so enjoyed that show and was looking forward to more episodes. Wise has been in a few eps in The Mentalist I think and Law & Order too I believe. Whatever he's in is always so good! Great episode. Did I say that already? lol

Are we really to surmise that this mysterious woman is connected to whomever was doing the pictures at the end of the season premiere?
Call me crazy, but I think something else is going on here......I don't believe Reid would keep it a secret if he thought for a second anyone, including the team, would be in danger.
I did like Blake in this episode. Most of us had said it was going to take time ........... I like that she went back and confronted Reid.
This week's story was gruesome. I kinda liked that Reid was the one that busted the case wide open.......

(Sometimes it's eerie how accurate my guesses are. Sometimes, I wonder later what I'd been smoking.)
(1) I'm not positive this chick can see. We had so many closeups of her eyes, but when did she actually *look* at anything? We saw her eyes,bu they didn't track as observing anything. You can express almost any information so it's readable by the visually impaired; maybe his MRI info was also translated.
(2) Alternatively whoever "he" is, he tracks everything digital she sends or receives, hence the landline, hence she hasn't looked him up online.
(3) I need to reread "The Sign of Four;" there are clues in there, I'm sure.

I don't know, but I think that she was in Reid's home and with Reid's
clothes. Crazy.

Oh, yes, I have a great deal more to say, but there is a cat on my lap, and it is murder trying to type around him.
For one thing, it is logical for Reid to look into genetics regarding his migraines, as his mother has mental health issues, and he fears schizophrenia himself.
For another thing, Reid has shown in the past that he would like to keep his private life private.
But, I think he likes her.

Sue Ann: true. Yet I think there might be a little more to the story than just the fact that she was a geneticist don't you think? Maybe he didn't lie, but it sure seems like he omitted an awful lot.

Reid would not necessarily have lied about her being a geneticist. She certainly had an immediate handle on a great deal of information about that field, when questioned.
