Jenny’s Choice

criminalminds107smallLast week was the premiere of Criminal Minds, and I was so glad to see it back. I missed JJ, who is out on maternity leave with a beautiful little baby boy, but it was fun meeting Aisha Tyler’s character, Dr. Tara Lewis, who was applying for a position with the BAU. The team had to track down a serial killer who they figured out pretty quickly was actually a contract killer who was going back and killing the people who’d hired him because one of them – he didn’t know which one – had tried to kill him. He’d been shot in the face, which meant he couldn’t speak or eat, so he had to inject a liquid nutrition into a port in his stomach…and he was using that liquid diet injected under the skin to make his victims helpless before he killed them. It was pretty gruesome. Tara Lewis happened to be in the right place at the right time and got on the phone with the killer’s next victim – the cop husband of a woman who’d hired him – to pretend to be his wife in order to let him know they knew the killer was with him and they were going to stop him before he could kill him. It was that performance that sealed the deal for Hotch, especially after Garcia almost begged him to hire her.

I was also glad to see some cute interaction between Morgan and Garcia. Not really lovey-dovey, but sweet and cute, and when he kissed her on her cheek and she said that never gets old, it was adorable.

On tonight’s episode, “The Witness,” when a Los Angeles bus is attacked with sarin gas, the BAU must act quickly to find the suspect before a larger-scale incident occurs. Guest stars include Marisol Nichols (NCIS, 24) as FBI Agent Natalie Colfax, who assists the BAU with the investigation, and Tim Kang (The Mentalist) as Charlie Senerak, a medical supply worker.

See how the team catches the suspect tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Mysteries of Laura, Rosewood, Steampunk’d, The Goldbergs, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Property Brothers, Worst Cooks in America, black-ish, Chicago PD, Code Black, & Mystery Diners.

criminalminds121smallI admit that I am not as big a fan of—or as loyal a viewer of—Criminal Minds as I used to be. Most of that has nothing to do with the cases but has everything to do with the way the writers have treated Morgan and Garcia. It angers me when I look back at the first three seasons or so and compare them to now. It’s like in the beginning, they were thinking that at some point, they were going to get them together as a couple, but later on, they decided that wasn’t a good idea and they backed off how they are together. I even read several things a while back that said Morgan and Garcia’s relationship was that of a brother and sister. I’m sorry, but I have a brother, and there’s no way in the world I would say the things to my brother that those two characters say to one another. That would just be creepy. So now, I tend to skip an episode if I know Morgan’s girlfriend or Garcia’s boyfriend (I’m not even sure she has one…??) are going to be on. And that pisses me off.

That being said, I still enjoy the show when I do watch it—and I love having Jennifer Love Hewitt back on my TV weekly—and last week was no exception. I actually missed (or maybe I just don’t remember??) the episode(s) when JJ was tortured, so I learned about it all for the first time. It was hard to watch. And the case last week cruel, with the people being frozen to death by the sicko. I was so happy when the father and son were reunited and the little boy realized who the man was and threw himself into his dad’s arms. I hope JJ can get the help she needs. Poor Spencer, in the unenviable position of knowing something is very wrong but stuck because he promised his friend he wouldn’t say anything.

On tonight’s episode, “Anonymous,” which was directed by series star Joe Mantegna, the BAU searches Tallahassee for a serial killer who calls the authorities to report the crimes prior to committing murder. Also, as Rossi prepares for a weekend visit with his daughter, Joy, he receives startling news about the death of a comrade in Vietnam.

Find out how the team catches the killer tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, The Mentalist, Law & Order: SVU, Top Chef, Best New Restaurant, Chicago PD, Hot in Cleveland, Wahlburgers, Donnie Loves Jenny, & The Exes.
