Criminal Minds ep 2.14
Blasted double episodes! They get you all scared-up and then they're like, ha ha, not till next week! Torment! Our timeshare had better be getting channel 1, or I swear, I will just like, explode.

Although I did miss the first scene. People don't realise that just because you're sitting there, doesn't mean you realise the shows started! I was reading about vampires! So Mum had to briefly sum up the murder, and in doing so also gave the whole thing that made this unsub so weird. Because she's onto it. (The problem too, when they're hiding key things about someone by not showing them, is that it's obvious. But what do you do, if you don't want the audience to be in on it from the start?)

I think it started actually being scary when Garcia finds out the murder videos are being posted on the net. Not that I need be concerned about people spying on me from my computer - I don't have a webcam, and I certainly never call any kind of tech support. I like how Garcia calls non-techy people 'mortals', and so casually! Actually, Hex in the Chris Ryan books does the same thing... I'm clearly not cool enough.

But! Women being eaten by dogs is scary. Cornfields are scary (even if they're actually fields of sunflowers?). People splitting up when they're alone and out of cellphone range - scary. Perhaps just rural areas in general are scary? This is probably the spookiest episode in a while. Yes, even before Reid is in imminent danger. Although that probably helps.

I fear I'm just going to go off into fangirlish squee now. I'm sure seeing the promos all week will put me in a suitable state of fear for watching the show in. And, you know, I'll be on holiday again, so if I post it will be after a period in which I can reflect, ensuring that I will actually be coherent. Because I'm all over the place here.

Show, I love you!
