CM6: Into the Woods
Jan. 30th, 2012 09:25 pmBickering couple wandering through the woods. Spooky shadows. "Wait, were is Sammy!" Hah! Made me jump. The skull beneath the skin. Nastiest transition ever? Daniel Lanham. Reid infodump on the Appalachian Trail. And we're off on a hiking holiday. Cue a cute camping family with adorably moppety kids. I'm already afraid for them.
Ralph Ellison for the open: I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Mufti! Except for Reid, who seems to believe that outdoor gear means a pin-stripped suit. Geographic profile! Victimology! The father is impressively broken in his conversation with confessor!Hotch. "This guy has moved passed that. He feels no remorse about his compulsions" Em shows off her woodcraft skills and Morgan knows all about marking territory — why am I not surprised? Graveyard. confessor!Hotch works his magic. The moppets step outside for a natural break, precisely mirroring what happened to Daniel. "The dates and locations of the abductions create an unmistakable pattern" A murderer's walking tour. "He's slowing down" Prentiss unleashes the Aviators of Justice.
Meanwhile, back at the dungeon, the kids try a spot of bargaining and Robert gives Anna a pep talk. "Robert? Whose toys are these?" Exactly. Poor Mr Lanham: not allowed to help. Reid really doesn't know anything about kids, does he? Wow but Grizzly Adams is a scary, scary guy. Bloodhounds! Al fresco profile. Spence finds the right line to take with Lanham. Both the kid playing Robert and the Grizzly guy are great in the return scene: they make it clear what has happened without saying a word. CM: home to the feistiest victims on TV. "Pills and flowers. I don't see this guy as a botanist" Prentiss gets cell reception underground, in a cave in the middle of nowhere. She must have the best provider ever. "It's a homeopathic pain treatment" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The UNSUB is called Shane!?! (Shane, Brandon, the moppets, everyone else: whoever cast this is on a serious roll) Garcia is Sir Not Appearing in this Episode, but she still finds time to crack the case: "This is super weird. Eleven of these men paroled in the early 90s have the exact same last known address..." "A cluster of... pervs?" Prentiss calls it as she sees it. "Wanna watch a video?" Brandon the Skeeze is such an 80s guy. I like the guy on the desk: he's such a smart arse. Yay! A door kicking! I can't remember the last time Morgan kicked in a door. Impressively grimy basement — it's like something out of Half-Life. Man, Brandon is a weasel: ready to kill to keep himself out of prison, then spilling his guts out just as soon as he can to try and win favour with the Fibees.
Rossi counts the case as a win, which is good enough for me.
