Is there anyone else out there who actually loves Criminal Minds: Evolution as much as the original series?

I love love LOVE both! But I don't think I have encountered a single post or comment that would agree with me... Everyone seems to hate Evolution and wants it to be more like the OG series.

But it's not. It is a different show produced by a different network. Some of the producers from the OG series are still heavily involved which is great but I don't think it was meant to be the same as the original at all. Personally, I think both shows are top notch. Ofc they both have their flaws becsuse nothing is going to be "perfect."

But is there anyone at all out there that loves both shows equally like I do???

And look who turned up.

He’s a long way from New Orleans.

If you had to pick a fight with any of the BAU (past and current) from Criminal Minds, who would it be and why?

Honestly, I don't know how to answer this.

Hotch will beat me up until I'm in a coma.

Morgan will break every bone in my body and send me to the emergency room in the hospital.

Elle will brutally strike the most vulnerable parts of my body with no hesitation; gun or no gun.

JJ will break my ribs (including my solar plexus) and give me a lot of blunt force trauma with those strong roundhouse kicks of hers.

Emily Prentiss will give me severe PTSD and tell me how she'll kill me at least 20 ways without a gun or a knife.

Garcia is so kind-hearted and adorable, I'm not picking a fight with her!

So Spencer Reid is the only one who I'll pick a fight with.

S9 E3 Final Shot

I know this episode has been discussed on here a few times and people who were confused got their answers. I wasn’t confused about the twist, I had a hunch that it might be him all along but I was wondering how they were gonna execute that storyline. The BAU explained that hitmen are able to stay alert and focused on the target for over 72h because they are literally trained to imagine a complex scenario with said target as a focal point. It was a great way to introduce the twist. So everything we’ve been seeing of Maya and Colin was part of his imagination. Cool.

What truly baffled me was that when Maya stepped outside and he had a clear shot, he didn’t immediately take it. We hear Maya’s voice “but it was all worth it, wasn’t it? for a chance at real happiness?” and Colin responding “it’s not for me to say” (a “memory” of a conversation that was shown prior) and he looks away from his target for a moment, long enough for Hotch to take him out. From the plot I conclude that it clearly wasn’t a memory, him and Maya never had contact. So did he get too involved in his own scenario, to the point where he developed a sort of parasocial bond? Did he stay awake there for so long that he was starting to show signs of delusion? Was he lowkey falling for his target after imagining being her protector? I’d love to hear your opinions/interpretations of this.

L.D.S.K is one of the best episodes ever (S1E6)

The concept of the episode was great but also the way Hotch played the whole thing was so good. I hated him so bad when I watched it the first time and then when I realised why he’d done it I was enthralled. It solidified the fact I was going to be locked into the show.
