Little bits of info on where the tapes are coming from and the history of the world since WWII are revealed. There are some subtle touches I didn't notice before that I appreciate. Like the Olympic stadium being domed off and used as the Nazi capitol building - that's a cool touch. Hitler built that to be a huge statement on Nazi power, so it kind of made sense that they'd want to use it as their main government building once they took over the world.

Overall, still not on the level of something like GOT, but it's gotten a lot better since the last season.

I don't even like cop shows, but I still dig Criminal Minds. Better than average cast and serial killer stories are vastly more interesting than 90% of other cases by definition.

That's pretty much why I like it for the most part. The serial killer stories and the psychological side of it is incredibly well done.

I know that's great writing, but come on: when someone has, say, imprisoned three girls in a cage and eaten the faces of two and he is facing the BAU with their guns out I just want them to SHOOT HIM DOWN LIKE A DOG! Sometimes they do, sometimes not. Boo.

You have so much incredible **** to look forward to. God, I envy you. Avoid, I repeat, avoid ALL spoilers. You have been warned. Don't even look at current cast lists. Really. I'm not joking. It's better you don't know.

I think you need to learn about what the criminal justice system does, cause you seem to need a refresher course. I'm rather partial to the police not acting like psychopaths myself.
