well?

Lived it. Thought jj's performance was great, very moving. Thoughtmorgan was great too. However just couldn'tbeliwve the little girl would show such little fear. She had just watched this man rape her aunt and murder her father. She would have been errified.

I loved how they let the girl be sensible, and not just a pathetic screamer. I'm sure she was terrified but doesn't mean she has to fall apart IMHO.

Actually managed to get me to sympathise with the baddie.. to be child handed over by your prostitute mother to her pervert john's, is truly awful Sad and I'm sure would make monsters out of most.

I haven't watched this since series 3 but seeing this thread made me revisit the show and I remember how good it is!

Really liked JJ's performance too although Garcia just annoys me for some reason. I'm gonna have to rent the series so I can catch up now.

Newgolddream · 08/01/2011 21:42

Ive missed it, is it repeated? Want to start watching the series in order. The problem I had before was I series linked it and it recorded everyhting, all the different series that was shown, I had no idea what was what lol. Which may explain why I ended up with 80 episodes on my Sky plus box, which DH was not happy with, a lot of them were doublers mind you!

GColdtimer · 09/01/2011 11:48

GColdtimer · 09/01/2011 11:53

Doh, just found it. Can't belueve I hadn't spotted it before!

OracleInaCoracle · 09/01/2011 11:53

no, you can only get the shows on your subscribed channels though. i lurve it, its fab!

insertexpletive · 09/01/2011 23:21

Stayed away from this thread as have had a busy couple of days and have only watched the episode tonight.

I loved it. Really loved it.

As I watched the final scene though, I could not help thinking that they would end up profiling the little girl in 20 years time Sad

insert, definately dont think weve seen the last of her.

does anyone else feel a tiny bit sorry for some of the killers too? like the prince of darkness, he stood no chance at all.

GColdtimer · 10/01/2011 15:48

I watched a really old episode last night (it must have been old, Morgan had loads of hair!) and at the end the psycho serial killer said to Hotch something along the lines of most people with my background would grow up to be a killer and Hotch replied not everyone, some grow up to catch them indicating he had a terrible childhood too.

It's that I find interesting. Why is it that two people who have similar experiences react in Totally different ways?

insertexpletive · 10/01/2011 20:45

I know that Morgan was sexually abused - not sure about the childhood experiences of others.

In my job I see people all the time who have had very similar experiences taking polar opposite paths - I think it has a lot to do with having at least one person in your life who is willing to love you unconditionally and be a positive role model - when children have only a host of negative influences it does not bode well for their adult mental health.

Oooh yes i love show, and watched fridays episode. Quick question, as i have dipped in out of the previous series, (although now have series link on this one) the reaper, was he caught, and did hotch/hautch, get his family back?

The one that revealed Morgan had been sexually abused was shown really recently.

LOve penelope and morgans relationship

GColdtimer · 11/01/2011 12:38

I think that must be it insert, having someone who is there for you unconditionally. What do you do for a job .

Cookie I can't honestly remember if the caught the reaper as I missed a few episodes but he killed hotch's wife at the end of the series before this one I think. He now looks after his son. Very sad.

I didn't know Morgan had been abused? Do you know which series it was revealed in?

cheers

I've watched this from the very beginning and absolutely love it. Spencer Reid for me all the way too, although I disagree with whoever it was that said it got better after Gideon left. It's different, but not necessarily better. (Am big Mandy Patinkin fan.....loved, loved, loved "Dead Like Me", although doubt anyone else will have ever heard of it!)

Cookielove · 13/01/2011 20:27

Yes i watched dead like me, love'd it

PaulaMummyKnowsBest · 14/01/2011 19:08

I love morgan he is the only reason i watch Grin
