The worst EVER special effect is featured in the opening scene. Hello, is it still 1970.
Prentiss and Reid are off to Colorado, to interview a polygamist who is accused of forcing underage girls to marry older men. Prentiss tells the local not to identify them as FBI agents.
The car pulls up to the ranch, which is gated. The men open the gate, and they pull up to the main compound to speak to the leader. (Played by Luke Perry, who in no way shape or form would have to force any one to marry him. We'd all go willingly.)
He points them towards the school where the girls have been gathered to be interviewed. Reid stays behind to discuss the solar panels on the ranch. The leader asks if he's surprised that they are self sufficient, Reid says "no, impressed." The leader thanks him for admitting it.
The girls give the answer that you would expect. Except when one of the girls admits that she is married to Cyrus. (oops) She says it's an honor to bear his children. Before they can ask anymore questions, the men of the compound burst in with automatic weapons and Cyrus asks them if they have any information about a "raid maybe?" Next scene is several black Suburbans speeding down the road with SWAT coming out in riot gear. They break down the door and report that the school is empty.
Everyone has been forced down into a tunnel. The Police realize that they were expected and fearing the worst the head police guy orders everyone out, where they are met with a whole lot of gunfire. SWAT is trying to break down other doors, without any success. Inside the tunnel Prentiss and Reid discover an arsenal. Cyrus tells the families that God will protect them.
Cyrus goes back above ground and tells his men to cease fire. They cannot hear him because of all of the gun play. The State Police officer that accompanied Reid and Prentiss to the compound says she'll go up and talk to them. Prentiss tries to stop her, before she can get a word out, a bullet gets her in the stomach.
Cyrus gives the police a chance to retreat and they take him up on it. The colony announces that they are gone. Reid whispers "Not for long."
The team shows up, about the same time as the Attorney General for the state, played by (the slacker attorney from Dharma and Greg, he and Greg, I mean Hotch have a fight, FUNNY)
They verify that Reid and Prentiss are ok. Rossi takes them supplies, with bugs in them, the first thing they hear is a "celebration" where they all drink wine. Guess what? Poisoned. Reid and Prentiss did not drink, but we get a close up of all the cute little kids.
Reid and Prentiss also notice that the girl who allegedly called 911 to report that there were underage marriages taking place, worshipped the leader. It was her mother that tried to come between them.
The team is all panicked, they have to go in. "No, we can't people will die." "They are already dieing."
Prentiss and Reid determine that there was no poison. Just a test to see who was going to panic and who would follow to the end. Cyrus confirms it.
Morgan is talking to the former leader. Turns out Cyrus was raised there. When he was 17 he was kicked out for messing with little girls. He came back several years later and forced the leader out. The leader is now in jail for evading taxes and more than willing to help the FBI send that "ungrateful little bastard straight to hell."
Garcia gets info, he had spent time in prison. They deduce that he is worried about returning to prison on child molestation charges. They have to convince him that he would not go to jail.
Just then the news reports that the Attorney General's office has just told them that there are undercover FBI agents inside. Cyrus comes to where Reid and Prentiss are and asks which of them is the FBI agent. He holds a gun to Reid and Prentiss says it's her. Cyrus then grabs Prentiss by the hair and drags her off while the other men hold Reid with automatic weapons.
The team sits by and listens to Prentiss get the crap kicked out of her. She is sending subliminal messages to the team who she knows is listening, telling them not to come in.
Prentiss gets cared for by the mother of the child bride. Prentiss knows that mom is a would be defector, but the mother runs off.
Reid is asked if he knew she was FBI. He says in all the time he'd worked with Nancy, the local police who was killed, she'd never lied to him. Reid is offering tips on how to test the FBI to see if they are honest. It would require them to release Prentiss and a kid. They don't want to but he reason's that it is only one kid and it will be a good exchange for information. Cyrus offers up the orphan if they tell the identity of the FBI agent. The team was listening so they know what Reid had told them.
Morgan goes to get the girl that released. Rossi tells Cyrus that her name is Emily Prentiss. They assemble everyone in the chapel. Reid sees Prentiss and apologizes. They start reading names, Reid says it's the names of those who failed the loyalty test. Cyrus tells the ones whose names ere called to get their belongings and he releases them. Cyrus then asks for 'fried chicken with all the fixins". Sounds like a last meal request to me.
Reid communicates to the team that he is looking for a sign as to when they are coming.
They scribble a note on the Fried Chicken fixins that are coming in. 3 a.m. Prentiss sticks her foot on the window to indicate where she is in the building. Morgan goes and signals to her that they are coming at three. The mom of the child bride comes to speak to Prentiss. Prentiss tells her that Cyrus is planning a mass suicide and that she knows that the mom made the 911 call. The mom says it's all her fault, she wanted to save her daughter. Prentiss tells her that the FBI is coming and that she needs to squirrel them away in the tunnels just before then. The mom leaves without saying anything.
She passes the men laying dynamite on the stairs. Rossi and Morgan are getting on their rito gear, the mom goes to start waking the children. She tells her daughter to get the women and children to the tunnels. The mom then goes to tell Prentiss that it's about to happen. Prentiss goes to find Reid. Cyrus then goes and starts shooting into the air. About that time the FBI goes in and starts picking them men off one by one. Morgan runs into Prentiss and the women and children. The child bride freaks and breaks off to go warn Cyrus.
Cyrus accuses Reid of trying to convert his brothers because he's quoting scripture. The FBI comes in and shoots the men. The child bride picks up the remote and triggers it. Reid and Morgan were inside but are ok. The child bride is the only child not to make it.
"Reason is not automatic, those who deny it cannot be conquered by it." Ayn Rand
Prentiss assures Reid that what happened to her was not his fault and they share a little moment of hand touching.

Criminal Minds 10/1/08
Is it just me or does Criminal Minds have the best/worst suspense moments. We know the person is going to get killed, but yikes, it scares me.
Opening scene is a woman getting bludgeoned with a hammer.
Hotch is in trying to get approved to return to duty. Says the ringing in his ears doesn't bother him as much as the pain. He pulls the "you will sign off on my return to duty?" Jedi mind trick, and she says she will as long as he promises to stay out of noisy situations. Mmmm hmmm.
The team is off to Ohio because the woman who got bludgeoned had also been raped. The DNA came back to a man known as the Angel Maker, who had been executed a year to the day before.
Hotch has problems on the plane with his ears, and ignores Morgan's question as to whether he'd been cleared for duty.
In Ohio the murder scene is identical to the Angel Maker's previous crimes, including details not released to the public. One of the signatures of the killer is random screw driver holes punched in the stomach post mortem. All of them different in pattern and number.
To the prison where the execution took place. They interview a guard who "knows nothing" but later ends up dead. In his apartment they find all of the memorabilia that is being sold to commemorate the Angel Maker. Also found in his apartment, a bottle of Viagra, and the team deduces that the unsub is a woman. They also deduce that if the guard could smuggle out all of his creations, it would be no problem to smuggle out some sperm to give to the copycat killer.
There are rumors floating around the small town, that the Angel Maker made good on his promise to return from the dead. The sheriff in an attempt to quell the panic, has the body exhumed. Guess what. No body.
So, we know there is killer sperm floating around out there, none appears to have been sold on Ebay, or anything creepy like that. Besides planting misleading DNA evidence to exonerate a serial killer, what else can we use sperm for? Oh, yeah, babies. Garcia checks the local birth records and discover that one of the jurors who convicted the Angel Maker had given birth to a baby, it had died shortly after birth. They check the latest victims schedules and determine that both had met with said juror the day they were killed.
They found letters that had been exchanged between the Angel Maker and several local women. One revealed they were in love, and admitted that she had once received a letter that was not intended for her. Her love letters were all eloquent, and the one addressed to "My Dove" were lame. They pull the letters to the Dove and realized they are encrypted messages. Reid says he'd need the ability to clone himself and a years supply of Adderall to solve the puzzle without the key. But he did it anyway.
Morgan and Prentiss were outside, admiring the night sky when Prentiss noticed one of the constellations looked a lot like the post mortem screw driver holes on the latest victim. She looked it up and found that all of the 6 women that the Angel Maker and 2 of the women from the copycat killer had the constellations stabbed into them. They also learned that this group of constellations, contained 9 groups. Meaning they were looking for the copycat's next victim.
The team goes over to the juror's house, she's gone. She has a wonderfully decorated nursery, with all of the constellations on the ceiling. In the corner, a trunk, containing the body of dear old dad. What nursery decor is complete without a body? They discover that the killer had an appointment with her accountant that day. They race over to the accountants house, only to find that the copycat killer's car is out front. Luckily, they find that all of the windows are still closed, one of the signatures of the killer is that they opened all of the windows after the killing to release the soul to the heavens.
Just as the copycat is about to bludgeon the CPA, the team starts up the lights and sirens in the front yard (good for Hotch's ears), and Prentiss starts reading carefully crafted note cards that Reid had prepared to throw off the killer. Morgan sneaks in the back, gets the intended victim out of the house. The killer makes her way to the front yard, looks skyward and says "I'm coming baby" and pulls a gun. Causing her to get shot, also good for Hotch. They discover she had stabbed the final constellation in her own stomach, to finish the job her beloved had started.
Hotch opts to drive back to Quantico.

Criminal Minds 9-24-08
Started late due to Presidential speech. If you didn't DVR CSI New York and still have the opportunity run and do that now. My husband was great and when the President came on he immediately set to record everything on all channels through the rest of the evening. We love him don't we?
Recapping where we left off. Serial killer loose in New York. Cameras have gotten video of all of the killings. If the lady in charge doesn't solve the case Morgan is set to replace her. One of the local cops gets shot. The team figures out it's terrorism. And finally the SUV blows up.
Scattered bits of paper falling from the sky. Slowwwww motion. Hotch holding something, but dazed and confused. See's the car and time resumes. He can't hear. He's got a thing for Kate, now he finally figures out Kate was in the car, was but no longer is. She's been blown down the street, a bloody mess and looking for her purse. She's in shock apparently. And not in pain.
Apparently help isn't coming, because the team figured out they were targeting the first wave of responders. So, the ambulance and fire officials were notified to not respond.
Garcia is calling everyone to see who's missing. Not Reid, not Rossi, not Morgan, not Prentis, not JJ.
The cameras show that the bomb was planted after the car was parked and the bomb setter stopped in the area. All of the cell phones are dead. Morgan pulls the Marine card and gets through the barricade. The unsub is "helping" and tells them "good luck" when he leaves. Morgan gets the call from Garcia and a chase ensues.
Leading Mogan into, no doubt, a first responder ambush. Just shoot the guy already. Meanwhile a paremedic shows up. Shady me thinks. Morgan chases the unsub through the subway and it is Morgan v. unsub who is nowhere to be found. How sexy is Morgan with his gun? Mmm hmm. Now Morgan is in the tunnels. Unsub shows himself, walking on the rails, taunting him and finally doing himself in on the third rail.
Homeland security is revisiting all of the murder sites, nothing. Paramedic still seems shady. Hotch talks his way throught the ER barricade. They get inside and Hotch collapses.
They figure that the profile is wrong. The city is about to get hit. And I was right about the paramedic. He's the bomb maker, and the bomb is in the ambulance that Hotch brought into the hospital. The Secret Service had the hospital on lockdown, meaning someone big is inside, and the place is about to go Kaboom.
Morgan goes downstairs and hotwires the ambulance with the bad guy chasing after him and shooting. Garcia has jammed the cell towers but they only have three minutes. The entire team ends up in the ambulance bay and find all of the Secret Service Men dead in the elevator. The suicide bomber is sitting in the bay holding a knife so he can kill himself as soon as he blows up the ambulance. The entire team is there and can shoot him in the back. The cell service is coming back online and Morgan tells Garcia.... nothing because the ambulance blows up. The paramedic slits his own throat. And we see that Morgan escaped from the ambulance and tells Garcia that she is his "God given solace. Whatever happens don't you ever stop talking to me."
The team is standing over the suicide bomber and it cuts to the interior of the hospital where we find that Kate has died. No tubes inserted for surgery, looking beautiful for being blown to smithereens.
The other good news is the local cop who was shot is alive and well. Prentiss gives him crap about smoking in the hospital. They flirt back and forth even though he's married. She gives him "great seats" to the Mets, and he wonders why she didn't assume he was a Yankees fan.
Morgan drives Hotch back to DC, because Hotch can't fly because of the bomb. Morgan has been requested to run the New York office. Hotch says he has and always will trust his life to Morgan, but asks Morgan if he can return the sentiment.
And roll credits.

Criminal Minds Spoiler Alert
I know who gets blown up. Thank God it isn't Morgan. During a preview during tonights reairing of the season finale, they showed a commercial. Hotch is bloody, holding a female FBI agent type person. It's the girl he was gaga over. The one that Morgan was going to replace if she didn't solve the case.
Just to shore up my theory. Who is Hotch leaving the building with? That's right, the 'new' person.
They did it, they brought in a dummy character to try to get us all worried. Well, you ruined it. Now I'm not worried. I'll still watch cause it's an awesome show, but I'm no longer worried. Again, you'll have to wait until next week to verify my psychic abilities, but until then rest easy, I haven't been wrong yet.

Fall 08 TV - Drama
Last year we had an abbreviated tv season. This year is going to be better than every!!!! Here's what I'm waiting for.
Criminal Minds. When we last left the FBI Profilers they were all getting into their Government issued, no doubt Hybrid, SUV's and KABOOOM. One of them blows up. But whose. Based on commercials leading up to the new season, it's not anybody. Probably a fake stunt to get us to come back. If I got to place my vote....not Spencer and not Garcia and not Hotch and not NOT NOT Morgan. Please not Morgan.
CSI: Warrick got the bejeebers shot out of him, by the creepy, evil, detective dude. I think he's alive. Sarah is back, just to help with the Warrick case. Then, rumor has it, her and Grissom drive off into the sunset. So, Warrick HAS to live, who would be left, Stokes, Catherine and that creepy lab guy. No, Warrick has to stay.
Eli Stone. This was a mid season replacement. I wouldn't have watched it otherwise. But I am oh so glad that I did. It is awesome. Eli, sees and hears things that others cannot. Is it his brain aneurysm? Is it God? He claims not to believe in God, but his "spiritual" advisor/acupuncturist explains that God is everywhere, in everything, in every time. Sounds like God to me. Now I know that to pitch a GOD is everywhere, in everything show to the networks wouldn't fly, but I'm glad that it may get some people to think. Also, Eli - or rather the guy who plays Eli, Angelina Jolie's first husband.
Pushing Daisies I am so glad this is back, I hope they change NOTHING about it. A love story, without the possibility of sex. Now, don't get me wrong, I like sex as much as the next guy, but tv shows built around 'when are they going to have sex' no thanks. Sex is out of the picture because the main character, Ned, and his love interest, Chuck (it's a girl Charlene), can't touch. They can't touch because Ned had a gift of bringing people back from the dead. Touch them once, alive. Touch them twice, dead forever. He uses his special skill to solve murders, when one day he happened on to the love of his life. Chuck lived across the street from him when they were children. When Chuck's father died she was sent to live with her aunts. They never saw each other again, til she was dead. He touched her, because he couldn't not touch her, and he didn't touch her again, which he usually does after he finds out who killed them. Now they are happy, in love, and can never touch again. They get around the romantic parts of their love by wearing gloves to hold hands, and she happens to be a beekeeper, so when she's beekeeping they can dance. Even kissing is possible because he's a baker, and she does this cute thing with Saran Wrap. It's just awfully cute, and a musical to boot. I know, sounds lame, but it's not.
CSI: Miami Who knows what's happening, and who cares. We don't watch CSI: Miami because of the story, we watch because of the horrible acting. It's a train wreck and we line up every week for it. But if I remember correctly Horatio got shot about a bazillion times in the cliffhanger. He has a kid with an ex informant who married a billionaire and then killed him for the money. She then married her true love a guy who is going to kill and her son for her money. But I don't really care. I'm still hoping the resurrect Speedle in some sort of undercover government thing. I just like it when H comes to rescue Calleigh, who he's known for years, and calls her "ma'am" does that make sense? NO. It's hilarious.
Life Oh, I so cannot wait for this one. Murder, intrigue, mystery and weirdness. I love it. Although, it is built on the premise of "when are these two going to have sex?" But when we last left it, Crews had just figured out that his current partner has an evil father. The evil father murdered Crews former partner, and framed Crews. Crews spent 12 years in prison, then got a bazillion dollar judgement and was released. Instead of taking his money and enjoying his life, he has set out to solve the murder for which he did the time. It has led him back to his partner's father.
This are the major dramas I follow. We'll do comedies and reality later.

Criminal Minds 11/14/07
ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME????? Garcia got shot. Garcia who sits in a giant computer room, and were she a guy, be doin' time for sexual harassment.
So, I'm not going to retell the gruesomeness that was this weeks episode. Just what we've learned from it.
1. Guys who were sexually abused by priests, don't really like priests.
2. Don't eat meat you didn't buy yourself.
So, back to Garcia. First time we see her this episode she walks in to a coffee shop, and asks for her usual. To spare you some grief, I'll not the obvious foreshadowing. Her usual, setting us up to say DUH, at the end of this episode. Anyway, she's getting her coffee and some "smokin' hot" (her words honey,) guy is cursing his laptop. Garcia being Garcia, steps in and fixes is hasta pronto. He gives her his card and comments that they should do lunch, she writes down her number and off she goes.
Back at the office, the target of most, if not all of her sexual harassment says good morning to her. She says "morning" and NOTHING else. He stops her and gives her the third degree. She explains some guy picked her up, something that never happens. People have to get to know her before they ask her out. Morgan tells her she should trust her gut, and if her gut says no, she should drop it.
The team is off to Florida to rid the world of evil. Meanwhile, computer coffee shop guy calls Garcia and gets her usual witty banter, he asks to change the "lunch" to "dinner", she starts coughing and says she's not feeling well, she'll let him know. Hanging up and discovering that the most recent serial killer has at least ten victims. She calls Morgan and has what to most of us would be a normal conversation. Morgan calls her on it and she gets pissed that even if he wouldn't cross a crowded room to ask her out someone else might. Garcia then informs Morgan that he sucks and hangs up on him. WHAT?
So, Garcia goes out with coffee shop dude and the big goodbye moment is the goin' in for a kiss that turns out to really be a hug. Then he turns and says "Garcia, I've been waiting all night to do this" or something equally sappy, and shoots her.
Another, can't believe I didn't catch that, moment, he calls her Garcia.
I have no comment. I'm heartbroken. Wish CBS would pay better, or stars would realize that they have a great part and great writers and stay put. You probably won't be any good in the movies. Sorry, but let's take a trip down memory lane. Rob Morrow. David Carusso. The guy who played Speedle. Mandy Patinkin is the exception, but he's really awesome, and ADD apparently because he's gone again. When your banned from tv clause runs out, this show will be gone, and no one will remember you. So please don't die Garcia.
So, I'm not going to retell the gruesomeness that was this weeks episode. Just what we've learned from it.
1. Guys who were sexually abused by priests, don't really like priests.
2. Don't eat meat you didn't buy yourself.
So, back to Garcia. First time we see her this episode she walks in to a coffee shop, and asks for her usual. To spare you some grief, I'll not the obvious foreshadowing. Her usual, setting us up to say DUH, at the end of this episode. Anyway, she's getting her coffee and some "smokin' hot" (her words honey,) guy is cursing his laptop. Garcia being Garcia, steps in and fixes is hasta pronto. He gives her his card and comments that they should do lunch, she writes down her number and off she goes.
