Happy friday i'n watching season 17 episode 4 finally!!

Who is this murderous lady???? Is gold star a woman?? I do love a female unsub let woman break the serial killinh glass ceiling you know

I think a road trip across american sounds so fun in theory but its probably gonna be more sundown towns and weird ass motels than i'm comfortable with lmao

What does garcia hand to tyler?? Its too dark i cant fucking see

[damnhotmsimmons]

Tyler being in the middle of them is so funny especially with the hair being styled almost similar to Matt's hair

Like look:

Before this episode it actually did not occur to me that voit's kids don't know what he did. I guess it should have been obvious like of course sydney wouldn't tell the kids... but i guess i thought the kids or at least holly were told what their father is

17x04-Kingdom of the Blind

here's my live blog for 17x04 of cm

caution: Spoilers, mentions of self harm

Who is that lady in the beginning?

A potential victim?

Why does that actress look familiar? I think I recognize her from scream 6

Nvm, I checked IMDB and I was right, it's Liana (aka Quinn Bailey from Scream 6)

Shit, the woman was pretending to be a victim

The woman took her badge

Could she have something to do with gold star?

Ugh, not Emily get taken into the police car

Fuck you Brian

I hate seeing Emily get arrested

Emily in a cell

Ugh, Tyler in Garcia's apartment

Garcia asking Tyler the true questions

Garcia doesn't want to help Tyler can't blame her as he's still doing behind the team's backs and lying

And she has a point that he doesn't listen to her

The phone having an encrypted key

Ugh Emily risking everything

Yeah I feel for Garcia since she didn’t want to do that even if it means now they may be closer to who gold star is

You know it's bad when I feel bad for Evolution Garcia in s17

Matt would not tolerate this shit

Emily cares more about Gold Star when it wouldn't have taken long for her and JJ to talk as she's her friend and needs to be okay

Yeah, Matt would’ve definitely talked to JJ after seeing how she was at the round table

Poor Garcia being forced to help her friend despite the rules they'll break simply cause Gold Star is that important to Emily

Poor Garcia, she is trying to set boundaries and not do anymore bad choices and Emily is only making things worse cause of gold star

Emily's little smirk is cute, if only she didn't have to be so smug and focused on gold star

How is it that Emily is getting on my nerves moreso than Garcia. At least Garcia is trying to be better and learn her mistakes by setting boundaries with Tyler

Luke giving Sydney some pointers before she talks to Elias

JJ also giving Sydney some advice

I want to hug Sydney

The former married couple now seeing each other

It seems there’s being a lot of see for Emily being so focused on gold star and how that will have consequences

You know the acting is good as they're married irl

Wtf Elias

Sydney has a point and she is rightfully upset at Elias for what he has done and put his family into

Holly and Harlow also deserved better

Wtf?! Elias

Elias refusing to say goodbye

Emily won't declare it Gold Star till there's proof

Rossi and Tara working together on the case again, it’s cool they are working together a lot

Same as it means Tara and Rossi being the father and daughter duo and Tara sharing screentime with Rossi

Oh look, it's unsub!Liana again

What is Unsub!Liana doing?

Oh she's inking herself?

I realized how she's the first female unsub introduced in evolution

So she did give herself a tattoo

Why does the tattoos look like eyes?

She's smirking, so she wanted the victim found

Garcia trying to decrypt and decode the phone and failing

Not Tyler overhearing Garcia lashing out inside her office and possibly breaking stuff

Jesus Christ, she broke her keyboard

Tyler's reaction to the broken keyboard

"How's it going?" Really Tyler? Do you want Garcia to answer that

Garcia needing Tyler's help

And then her trapping him in he server room

Not her telling him that there's electromagnetic radiation and how prolonged exposure will make him sterile

Tyler laughing awkwardly and not knowing if Garcia was joking or not

JJ and Luke comforting the girls as they're about to go see their father

Harlow is smiling?

Not Harlow hugging Elias

Holly is understandably scared

Sydney being a protective mama bear

Rossi and Tara at the crime scene

So the lady used her tattoo needle to gorge the sheriff's eyes out?

Unsub!Liana is hunting them

Not ghost!Elias taunting Rossi at the thought that he can convince his family to drop their testimonies

Elias also telling Rossi to look at him but he's interrupted by Tara

Tara saying how the unsub is a woman and she's right as it's the lady from the beginning

Hopefully there's a name for them as I don't wanna keep referring to her as female unsub

So more women have tattoos than men

Tara telling Rossi how they need to tell Emily that the unsub in this case is not gold star as gold star is a male

Emily won't take it well

Seriously Brian

Elias possibly passing his serial killer traits to Holly as she's suffering from self harm and sneaking a box cutter past guards

Yeah Elias definitely seems shaken by that especially as he probably tho…

Elias keeping those traits a secret was all for nothing and now he and Holly are facing the consequences

I hate how there's a possibility of Holly becoming an unsub after this which makes her life even more tragic

Poor Sydney and Harlow

Holly definitely reminded JJ of Roslyn cause of the self harm and the fallout with her dad

Luke being the one taunting Elias after that

Elias asking Luke to help Holly as he won't let her become like him, but will they? Will Holly let them? Is the damage already done?

JJ trying to help Holly

Holly thinking Sydney would stop crying and be free from Elias if she killed him but there's still consequences for that

Damien working with Jade explains why the BAU assumed gold star was a male, but it's multiple unsubs and one of them being a female

So there was a reason why the casting for Jade was a secret despite Liana being well known as her character is one of the main villains

So each member of the strike team had an assignment for a specific target and Aidan and Jade being some of them. I'm assuming Damien is also another target hence why he killed the other members in the first episode

Seeing Tyler sitting down between Luke and JJ is hilarious especially as his hair is styled like Matt's and wearing an outfit similar to his in 12x13

"Five members, five points of the star" well played and Tyler sounded badass saying that

The members are all trauma bonded at Stuart House

Sadly they still don't know who started the gold star program nor who funded the escrow account

Tyler telling the team that Gasper told him that gold star wasn't a rogue government operation. So there is hope that a storyline like that could be used for when Matt returns

It seems like five since there’s five members of the strike team that targeted the members. Since three are accounted, there seems to be two left

So a private contractor runs the gold star program

Okay so the other two remaining members are named Pete and Dana

Damien taking most of the kills and Jade keeping the badges as trophies

So the members of gold star plan to reunite together. Well the remaining four since Aidan is dead and their spree won't be done even after the strike team members are dead

It seems like Jade is the true leader and Damien is more of the main muscle of the gold star program, sorry Emily

JJ, Luke and Tyler finishing each other's sentences

Damien and Jade don't seem like the type to be so easily fooled like that considering their victims are guys in law enforcement and ex military

So the members of gold star plan to reunite together. Well the remaining members

Yeah it seems like they are out for revenge because of the trauma they went through

[stephsycamore]

Okay so jade and aidan are just angry kids. But damien is a trained killer.... so sure next episode they get damien, maybe the other remaining stuart house kids. But doesn't the question remain who trained damien to be a killer and why did trained assassins go after this group of kids from a troubled teens facility?? Maybe they were all trained to be killers to someday be government assets, damien made it the furtherest, the others got unceremoniously dumped, and now the handlers want loose ends tied up?

Then it goes higher - who is greenlighting this wild ass red roon type place where they teach kids how to be killers? Does the AG know? Did she ok it??

And i saw some theories that holly is not as innocent as she seems now that would be a fucking plot twist

[marvelfanlife]

Here are my thoughts on CM 17x04:

Emily is so done lol. I wonder who she called, it had be Rossi

Tyler leave García alone!

Nooo JJ. My poor girl, she looks so broken and burying it all away

How is no one noticing that JJ isn’t okay

How many times can Emily say bullshit lol

Tyler why did you to ruin it

No JJ it can’t wait

Sydney is so strong. Give her a good and happy life, she and the girls deserve it

She’s giving herself eye tattoos?

Omg Garcia broke the keyboard lmao

Tyler the butler

Garcia putting Tyler in the corner lol

Holly hiding her scars

The scene with JJ and Holly was so good

JJ it is important! Don’t bury it!

So Gold Star is a program? Or the unsub was part of Stuart house?

So Damien is gold star

So they were all the targets of the strike team

Why did Emily look so good calling out to be guards

And now not only will Elias be working with the team but also let out of his cell

This episode was good but definitely felt like a set up for episode 5 with all the exposition there was
