Criminal Minds 1:1

[vr_trakowski]

I think I've seen this one--I used to record the show for a friend in Australia--but it was some time back. 

I am amused at Morgan quoting Yoda, and the Nietzsche quote at the end of course brings to mind the common addition "Neither of us liked what we saw."  Morgan comes across as a bit of an ass, though, and there's only a brief glimpse of Garcia, whom I love.  But first eps are always a bit rough. 

I have a little trouble taking Gideon seriously, as I find his expressions a bit exaggerated, esp. when he does that frowny-face, but I think it stems in part from too much Princess Bride.  Poor guy, that's going to follow him forever, though it's by no means something to be ashamed of!  

And Hotch is just pure eye candy.  *grin*

What smacky30 said. I get that the abrasiveness is part of the uniqueness of the Gideon character, but he doesn't really seem tuned in to me. And ITA on the Garcia thing...and what she was wearing in the first ep? Not Garcia-like at all!

Hope you stick with it!

I'm planning on it, for the moment at least.

It almost feels to me like they were trying to make Gideon the center, when all the chemistry was going for an ensemble show. But that's just my first impression.
