Thoughts on 16x03/1x03

I just finished episode 3 of CM: Evolution, here are my thoughts. 

Caution: Spoilers Beware

If anyone has any comments or wants to discuss any of the thoughts I have about today’s episode, my dm’s are open 

I nearly panicked when JJ almost got shot. The team are trying to get to every kill kit that was found with JJ and Luke trying to catch an unsub running away. Likewise, the unsub took their own lives before getting caught but they at least got the kill kit.

Again, it’s somehow nice and jarring to see the characters swear beyond words like “damn” and “bitch”

Still jarring to see Elias be a loving father and husband to his family while also being a serial killer but I guess that’s the point. I hate to say how him being with his wife and playing basketball with his youngest daughter

Oh look, it’s Eli from 9-1-1

Garcia lightening up the mood is the best, it’s funny seeing her get pissed at whoever gave her the codes and is the reason she’s back at Quantico against her personal decisions

“My fine furry friends.”

Honesty her trying to curse and failing cause it’s awkward for her is hilarious. Watch at some point, she’s gonna eventually say “fuck”

Bailey being an asshole as usual. I like Emily calling him a “two-faced jerk”, though she would have cursed out at him privately

It’s odd they set up the unsub and his family as poor yet their house looks a bit too fancy? Idk maybe I’m reading too much into this and class and financial situations come in different forms 

Ugh, Chad’s dad being an asshole and oh shit, Elias’s wife giving her husband an idea

Poor JJ and Garcia going through internet boards involving the unsub, at least the ones they can access to

Garcia being a genius as always. With the bonus of having self-care.

So the unsub of the day for this episode is ex-military. Tara asking Rebecca for help

Bailey being an asshole (again). This is like Barnes 2.0

JJ and Luke doing what’s right, the team refusing to listen to Bailey in having them pull out.  They finally caught Green but oh shit, Elias saw JJ and Luke take them in

Ugh, Bailey undermining the BAU by not giving them credit in assisting in apprehending the unsub. Rossi is a mood. And Garcia calling Bailey a “wank-weasel”

Elias watching the press conference. This is gonna be personal for Elias now that the BAU captured an unsub

Oh hell no, not Bailey finding out about Tara and Rebecca, with Rebecca helping the BAU behind his back 

Bailey putting Rossi relieved of duty, like Rossi actually cares and Emily defending her friends and delivering a big “Fuck you” to Bailey

Tara and Rebecca having a moment. Poor Rebecca being sent back to Washington cause of Bailey’s connections. But aww, Tara letting Rebecca move in

I want to give Tara a hug especially when she said she had trust issues in relationships. Considering her failed marriage and a failed engagement, I don’t blame her. Tara being concerned for Luke and JJ’s safety and wishing Rebecca was here with her. This moment was so soft and sweet 

So Green wasn’t an unsub, a vigilante? And he blames the BAU for ruining his plans. Oh my god, the team got Garcia’s informant

Elias is upset that one of the people in his network got caught and judging by his phone conversation with his wife, he’s gonna take matters into his own hands and start planning to get revenge on the BAU

Poor Moose, seems, like Elias was able to corrupt him

 Overall, this feels like a more typical CM episode from the early seasons but I love it. It did feel a little short but mostly cause a lot at the BAU happened in one day. I was hoping Emily would appoint JJ as unit chief but oh well. The Bailey subplot feels like another rehash of the Strauss/Barnes subplots in the past but this feels a little different since it seems that they’re actually showing the characters go through repercussions cause of Bailey’s interference like with the leader of the DT taskforce refusing to listen to JJ and Luke. I initially had some concerns about the network storyline but so far it’s okay. It’s slightly better than what I expected and hopefully they’re able to conclude this storyline properly and it doesn’t fall flat
