As always, a most worthwhile show. I never like to see dogs being used as an evil weapon as the Rottweiler was, but as his owner was evil that was inevitable. Should have put the dog down too. The nanny was far more evil than in a hurry, she hated those kids, ignored them, physically abused them and didn't anyone notice the steam coming from the bath water? Way too hot, another form of torture. Which the unsub also used to torture.
I would love to have Beth (or another interesting, kind, funny woman who can make Hotch smile) back on the show. Often mentioned there should be more of Will and now Henry, missed Jack lately, too. The horrors of the show need to be a bit more balanced with the personal relationships. Those are what keep everyone sane after dealing with often ghastly nature of their job.
I agree with Sue totally until she mentions Hannibal. I don't want Criminal Minds replaced, just keep renewing it. The cast are all excellent in their parts and the writers keep coming up with great stories. But those writers also help create the varied and interesting team that is Criminal Minds. The personal relationships keep us coming back. While I love Reid and could watch Matthew Gray Gubler for days acting in anything, I think J.J.'s husband Will is also underused.
Loved the show and everyone in it. It's got everything going for it: murder, mystery, cops, romance, bromance and great family relationships (the Castles, anyway). To those who don't like the characters... then don't watch. We don't need your negativism.
