Spending a second to call Alex an absolute little shit giblet because I had to go back to the episode to see him pick up that fucking boot.

This!!! He’s apparently just given up on keeping in character this season and it’s simultaneously wonderful and weird.

THE GUMBOOT OH MY GOD. Alex is in a weird mood this episode. He's chatty, he's cheeky. He's laughing and making faces at the camera. It's so bizarre!!!!!

So I watched the first two episodes of Criminal Minds Evolution, here are my thoughts:

Since this will be very long, I made a separate post with this one centering on the first episode. Will share my thoughts on the second episode in another post

*spoilers below* do not click if you haven’t seen the episodes

Update: I meant to work on this when I first watched the two episodes but didn’t get a chance to finish it. So the thoughts I had then are different from my thoughts on the episodes now after completing the season

cm 16x01/cme 1x01 Just Getting Started

  You can already tell what a difference it makes to have a show being developed on a streaming platform. The cinematography looks impressive, betting lighting and no more of that disgusting yellow filter in the later seasons

 The show feels more similar to Mindhunter than other CBS procedurals like NCIS, CSI and their spinoffs.

With the show on a streaming platform, they could have easily tried to amp up any violence and nudity but they didn’t. There’s little exploitation

For some reason JJ looked much better here than in the last three seasons. 

Ditto for Emily looking stunning with the silver hair, way better than the wigs she wore in s14-15

I also love Tara’s natural hair look. Hell, the ladies all look great in season 16

You know that the show has gone for so long that Henry is now a teenager. 

Deputy Director Bailey is getting on my nerves. Another obstructive bureaucrat trying to undermine the team. Barnes 2.0 but worse. It wouldn’t surprise me if he has an ulterior motive behind it

So Emily is now Section Chief, which means Cruz is gone (not helped that he basically vanished after 10x19) 

Elias Volt (The guy at the beginning and end of the episode) seems more interesting as an unsub than Lynch

While it isn’t the first time we’ve seen a pissed off Garcia, it’s interesting to see her go off on Rossi, and it’s nice to see her stand up for herself

I was kinda bummed that after one date, Garcia and Luke didn’t attempt to pursue the relationship further. Either that or covid or something else. Still, their interactions were everything and I love the kiss on the cheek he gave her

You know that Rossi is at a low point when he eats microwave mac & cheese

Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of them fridging Krystal. The man has already been through enough, he’s lost like two wives, Strauss and a few of his friends like damn. Even if the actress is unavailable, was her death really necessary? Along with a rehash of Carolyn’s death

Tara got a girlfriend, I’m so happy, she and Rebecca deserve all the love and appreciation

JJ looks so good in 16x02, and I love the intimate scene she has with Will near the end

Or course Emily would tease Tara about her relationship with Rebecca as well as JJ getting it on with Will in the morning. She is a mood though

I love Garcia and her coming back is bittersweet as I love seeing her work with the rest of the gang but at the cost of her new happy life

I miss Matt Simmons so much and wished he was acknowledged as much as Reid. At least Daniel is doing better in The Wheel of Time and CA2

Elias has a wife and two daughters, quite a dark parallel to JJ with her two sons or even Matt

Only two episodes in and Elias is a more interesting unsub than Lynch, it helps that Zach has a good performance. They better not mess that up

The network of serial killers is an interesting storyline and considering how underwhelming past storylines can be in cm, I fear the storyline will have an underwhelming ending

The end scene with the roundtable is so sweet, the gang is back together

no opening sequence interesting
