Nice to know that CM has the same rosy view of publishing that all Hollywood seems to. ;-)

Also, I usually really like Virgil Williams' work, but I am dissapoint that, in what seems to me a very un-Criminal-Minds-ish element, the prostitutes in "The Apprentice" were treated as disposable, while the nice girl with a job in a pet store got rescued. And none of the women demonstrated the kind of agency I'm used to seeing in the show.

This season is not standing out for me, so far. The gore level seems to be higher, and the humaneness/agency seems to be lacking.

Alas.

I've been having a similar reaction this season. There have been some good moments and some good storylines, but I just don't care as much as I did in earlier seasons.

Alas.

The baseball thing was so... not CM. So very bog standard Hollywood.

Yes. I remember watching that part and thinking, "Really? That's really where you're going?" Especially the happy Hollywood ending. CM is better than that.

To me, the happy baseball ending montage was actually super creepy thanks to the repeat visit from the new team stalker. We already know that Reid has terrible hand-eye coordination when he's thinking about what he's doing (like shooting a gun), so while it was a bit Hollywood-cheesy that he saved the day with a homerun, at least it had some backstory.
