Criminal Minds (CBS)

[Starbucks880]

I am glad Reid got closure. I do think it must have stung that his father lived so close yet never saw him--to me simply keeping tabs on him is not good enough. I thought that it was cute the scene with him and JJ. I vaguely remember Gideon trying to set them up first season--did they ever say what happened? They still have remained close friends though. Anyway, a very good episode and I think they need to continue giving Reid a whole lot more screen time.

No. Reid needs some loving.

Regarding Reid's father - I think it was one of those things where he went away for a bit, and the longer he was away, the harder it was to come back. He probably wanted to resume contact but felt he couldn't. He was cowardly, sure, but I don't think he was (is) a truly terrible person.

They didn't really say. All they showed was Reid very awkwardly trying to ask JJ to go to a Redskins game with him (even though he knows nothing about football). That was the last scene of that episode. Reid did have a little bit of a "rendevoux (sp?)" with an actress he was in charge of protecting. That was cute. Little bit of smoochy-smooch in the pool.

and he nearly got hooked up with a hooker this week.

LOL yeah and he gave his $2,000 winnings to her, too.

I guess I'm as clueless as Reid because I had no idea she was a hooker.

Right when he was leaving the slots with Morgan and Rossi, she told him that he had 2,000 dollars in winnings still waiting to be paid out. He told her to keep it and Morgan said "You do realize you just gave $2,000 to a hooker, right?" LOL. I knew the minute I saw her that she was a hooker. They're more prominant in Vegas than anywhere else. They're all up and down the strip even though the cops tell them not to hook there, they do it anyway. Think about it, some guys make a bundle at the tables and then they find a "pro" and spend the winnings on her. I've never been to Vegas but I've watched enough "Cops" that take place out there to know.

Yeah, I didn't know until Morgan said that. I guess I'm naive! I've never been to Vegas either.

Oh, Reid, you can tell me an existentialist joke any time you want.
A good episode. Jason Alexander was good though I did find myself singing "Co-stanza!" for the first half of the show whenever he appeared.

I truly thought the team was in danger but was very happy when they had already figured out his plan. Good episode all the way around. Not sure how I like the new agent but I hope she will grow on me.
