Garcia
They're going to have to work to reconcile me to this episode. The word "stunt" comes to mind, along with the word "dumb" in various senses.
I mean, isn't it enough to have one female agent shot at point-blank range? If Garcia survives, it's dumb, if she doesn't, I QUIT! I mean seriously. Just too pissant of them. I also didn't like how unsmart she acted in her anger -- not the anger itself, that would have been fine, but just the way it was handled. She is not a fool. The guy would likely have seemed okay for a date (if we didn't know it was a serial killer show, heh) so going out with him didn't have to be this big reaction to hurt feelings flounce deal. Ah well.
I also did not like the cliche of Morgan turning up in church at the end; nor the imbecilic proposition that to believe in a god you have to believe in a devil. Okay, maybe if you believe in a PARTICULAR Xtian god or whatnot, where you buy the whole theology, sure, but not just to believe in *A* god. That was dimwitted. Plus Morgan is also too smart to disbelieve just because his prayer for help wasn't answered -- if that was how it worked, there'd be nobody in church, because that happens to everyone. It would have been more convincing if he had told his priest/minister (I wasn't clear on whether this was Catholic or not, it seemed to be) and had gotten no help from HIM, and so dropped the church. But maybe they didn't want to go there. I'm just looking at it logically and as a writer (lose the cliche) -- personally I'm an atheist so I have no axe to grind about his loss of faith per se.
I LOVED, however, the FANTASTIC evil smile of the unsub at the climactic revelation! "Not smart" my ass! The guy managed to elude police through at least 10 murders and install a walk-in freezer in his basement, how dumb can he be?
I also enjoyed Reid's continued fanboying on Rossi, quoting his book verbatim.
Should go look see what other people thought I guess...
