Final Replacement for Patinkin - Mantegna!

The comings and goings around Criminal Minds could come to an end: none of Gene Davis or Michael Keaton, who would take the place of the actor Mandy Patinkin Joe Mantegna, would be known for several roles in film, one of them as the hijacker small child of "Baby on Board".
This time the rumors about his involvement can be dispelled doubt because the actor has signed on ... on what it can create uncertainty is whether to conduct the same paper (only with different faces) that Patinkin or enter it as a new character star in the Behavioral Analysis Unit.
Also considering the possibility that, as some chapters have engravings of next season, Mandy appears in the first and kindly return them to CBS after leaving them stranded. And after a few chapters, Mantegna made his appearance to begin a new stage in Criminal Minds.

Replacement for Patikin?

A few days ago I commented on the departure of his starring Mandy Patinkin on Criminal Minds, who graciously call the operating Solita II as creative differences argued for this outcome.
But the apathy would be completed. One of the actors in the series, Sherman Moore confirmed that the rumors that roamed around a single name: the surprise is a woman's name and is called Geena Davis.
Although not finalized, he said in an interview to TV Guide site, which is also the name card of Michael Keaton while not the strongest candidate to occupy the chair of the role.
About Patinkin's departure, Moore said he did not like the way it was more a matter of "defrauding the team had been formed. But sliding wrinkled and charged that person is a volatile personality.

William LaMontagne Jr.

Played by Josh Stewart, Detective LaMontagne was first seen in 2x18 ("Jones") as a New Orleans detective investigating a serial killer case which had initially belonged to his father. Detective William LaMontange Sr. was a detective and had made a breakthrough in the case right before being killed in Hurricane Katrina. The unsub was believed to have suffered the same fate, but when evidence to the contrary arose, Detective LaMontagne took over the case using the work his father had done and a single clue carved on the wall by his father, just before he had died. Detective LaMontagne Jr. called in the BAU to assist him, and they were ultimately successful in capturing the unsub. LaMontagne Jr. spent much of his time on the case choosing to work closely with Agent Jareau.

In 3x17 ("In Heat"), it was revealed that they had been involved for over a year, and in 3x18 ("The Crossing"), JJ called Will to tell him she was pregnant with his child. In the season three finale ("Lo-Fi") Will showed up in New York City while the BAU was on a case, reiterating an off-screen proposal of marriage, and further telling JJ that he would be willing to give up his shield, move to Virginia, and raise their baby. As of early season 4, Will had moved to Virginia, and is apparently now serving as stay-at-home dad to their son, Henry. JJ has not, as yet, canonically accepted the marriage proposal, but they did exchange rings with insets of Henry's birthstone, citrine. He is seen briefly in the 100^th episode getting medicine for Henry with JJ.

Jack Hotchner

His first appearance was in The Fox, when his parents introduced him to the team as a newborn. He was not seen until Machismo and then in In Name and Blood, the last time he will be living with both his parents in the same house.

From then on we see little glimpses of him when his father visits him (Seven Seconds) or when he gets to watch some homemade videos he keeps with him, like in Pleasure is my Business, until Faceless, Nameless when Hotch must say goodbye to him because his mother and him are placed under witness protection after being threatened by Foyet.

His next appearence is again in video format, this time shown to Hotch by Sam Kessmeyer in the episode Reckoner, and we learn his birthday is that day or a near previous one.

In 100 he's seen with his mother in an unknown location when she gets tricked by Foyet to come back to their home, where he's waiting for them. In his eagerness to make Hotch suffer, Foyet allows a lenghty phone call between Haley, Hotch and Jack, and his father gets to tell him to "work the case", a code phrase for him to hide in a bin and wait for his dad to get him, which will be fundamental to save his life.

We see him for the last time in The Slave of Duty, first at his mom funeral and wake and later with his dad at the condo where they are going to live together; in a couple of secuences it's revealed how much he miss his mom and that he thinks his daddy is like Captain America.

Kevin Lynch

Kevin was Garcia's replacement when she was taken off the case in Penelope. He is also a former hacker, but he is also far messier than Garcia. When they met in the end of the episode, they fell in love with each other. They've apparently been dating ever since. They had a date at Garcia's apartment in the beginning of Damaged. In Roadkill, he asked Garcia to apply with him for a high-security job with NASA outside of the country, but she was reluctant to leave the team. The job fell through when Garcia hacked the NASA database to find out where he'd be stationed.

Erin Strauss

She seemed to be under the impression that Hotchner's team was disorganized and posed a threat to the BAU, prompting her to enlist Emily Prentiss to spy on the them (a manoeuvre that backfired when Prentiss resigned her position instead) and to attempt Hotch's removal from the BAU with a pending investigation on his methods. She backed off her attention from the team after experiencing first hand what the team lives with every case in the field (In Name and Blood), but not before making sure that they understood that none of them will ever be able to move up in any higher positions within the FBI.

In the episode "100", she conducted the inquiry into the events surrounding the actual beating to death of George Foyet. She questioned each team member in turn to get to the bottom of the situation, and ensure that "a bloodbath like this never happens again." She finally questioned Hotch, who told her that he believed if Foyet were allowed to get up off of the floor, he would have killed Jack too. She effectively cleared him saying, "That's good enough for me". She also fell away from her cold and spiteful personality that was the norm for most previous episodes and sincerely told Hotch how sorry she was and that "if there is anything you [Hotch] or your son needs..." she would help.

Diana Reid

Like her son, Diana Reid is a genius--though her IQ is never mentioned. She raised Spencer as a single mother after her husband left her due to her schizophrenia. She read to Spencer often, enforcing his already growing intelligence. From her, Spencer learned that the best way to learn is to do "the research" on your own. Through the years, the reading time began to take place in her bedroom, where she spent most of her time on medication.

When Spencer was eighteen, he made the difficult decision to finally have her committed. She now resides in Bennington Sanitarium, where she receives a letter from her son everyday.

Jordan Todd

She was formerly assigned the Counter Terrorism Unit, and has signed on to the BAU team as a temporary replacement for JJ while she is on maternity leave. There have also been hints (4x05 "Catching Out," 4x08 "Masterpiece") that Morgan may be attracted to her, and vice versa. In 4x11 "Normal," Jordan makes a press conference and afterward participates in a raid on the UnSub's home - finding his entire family shot dead. She goes outside and begins to blame herself for the deaths of the family - because of the press conference making the UnSub commit the act. Rossi then comes outside and sits down next to her, comforting her and explaining to her that it wasn't her fault. Jordan then starts crying, and admits that she can't handle the pressures of her new position.

Haley Hotchner

Played by Meredith Monroe, she was the high school sweetheart, and then wife, of Aaron Hotchner. According to 1x22 ("The Fisher King, Part 1"), Hotch spotted her in the hallways and was instantly smitten. Since she was in the school musical production, he joined as well, playing "the worst Fourth Pirate ever." Together they have a son named Jack, born in late 2005. Their marital issues were a running theme early on, specifically Haley's feelings that Hotch devoted more time to the job and the team than he did to his family. It all came to head in the first episodes of Season 3, and by the end of episode 3x02 ("In Name and Blood," also entitled "In Birth and Death"), Haley moved herself and Jack out of the house. At the end of episode 3x03 ("Scared to Death") Hotch mentioned to Morgan that he wasn't sure if Haley was coming back. Hotch was served with divorce papers as he was leaving the office for the day, at the end of episode 3x11 ("Birthright"); at Haley's request, and without retaining a lawyer, he signed them three episodes later (3x14, "Damaged").

Until 5x01, she and Jack were apparently still living in the house she and Hotch had shared. After being mentioned, but not seen, for nearly two seasons, Haley appeared in 5x01 ("Faceless, Nameless"). George Foyet, the Boston Reaper, stabbed Hotch, and stole Haley's address from Hotch's address book. Though she and Jack were soon found unharmed, they were taken into protective custody, intentionally leaving Hotch unaware of their new location. This left Hotch devastated, knowing that he would only be able to see Haley and Jack again once the Reaper was caught. In episode 5-09 "100", Haley is lured to her old home by George Foyet, who has led her to believe that the agent addressed to protect her is dead as well as Hotch. Once in the house with Foyet, he has her call Hotch and she realizes the peril she is in. Hotch tells her to be brave and show Foyet no fear as they tearfully say their goodbyes to each other. Foyet then shoots Haley to death while Hotch and the team listens over the phone.

Elle Greenaway

Elle was formerly assigned to FBI Field Office in Seattle, Washington;
then requested to be assigned to the BAU. She is an expert in sex crimes. Her father was a New York City Police Officer but was killed in the line of duty. She is half Cuban and speaks Spanish. After she was shot in the Season 1 finale, she returned to the BAU rather quickly, against the advice of the rest of the team. Not long after, she staked out and shot a serial rapist in cold-blood because of his crimes against women (2x05 - The Aftermath). Her ability to continue work as a profiler was questioned by Hotch and Gideon because of this, even though the local police force deemed it self-defense. She turned her badge and her gun over to Hotch,declaring that it was not an admission of guilt. She then walked out of the BAU and hasn't been seen since. (2x06 -The Boogeyman)

Jason Gideon

Jason Gideon (played by Mandy Patinkin) was the BAU's best profiler on the CBS crime drama, Criminal Minds. He helped Morgan and Reid through their nightmares. He is shown to have a very close relationship with Reid, having hand picked Reid from the FBI Academy for his team; helping Reid through many difficulties (including his implied drug use), even leaving the good-bye letter for Reid to find. His 'father-son' relationship with Reid extended to non-work aspects as well; such as when he encourage Reid to ask JJ out on a date (by buying Redskin tickets for Reid's birthday), and insisting on 'Dr. Reid', as he believes people respect the young genius more. Through the first two season, Gideon is portrayed to be very good at chess, winning against Reid many times (only exception being Reid's birthday, 1x04), and encouraging him to 'think outside of the box'.

Prior to the series, he is said to have had a "nervous breakdown" (or "major depressive episode") after he sent six men into a warehouse in Boston with a bomb in it. All six agents were killed, and he was heavily criticized about the event. He would later confront the bomber, Adrian Bale and finally face the demons that had haunted him for months. He shows particular dislike for the practice of using religion as a defense or motivation for one's crimes.

He blamed himself for the torture Reid received from Henkle as he had ordered Garcia to add a virus warning to the videos Hankle posted. Gideon also has a son named Stephen, as shown in episode 1x11 ("Blood Hungry"). The nature of their relationship has not been directly stated, but it is implied that they have not seen each other very recently. Gideon began to lose confidence in his profiling skills after Frank murdered his girlfriend. During his final case in Arizona, he further lost faith in his abilities when his decision to release the unsub resulted in the deaths of both the unsub and a young woman.

As a result of his actions Hotch was suspended and this was the final straw for Gideon. Leaving his gun and badge behind at his cabin with a letter for Reid to find, he left to wayfare and to regain belief in himself and happy endings. Gideon shared much in common with real life FBI profiler John E. Douglas, who has written many books on the subject. Similarities include that both controversially predicted an unsub would have a stammer, and both required a prolonged leave of absence due to stress related illnesses acquired as a result of the job. He was replaced by David Rossi.

David Rossi

Rossi was born and raised on Long Island, New York, in the town of Commack. As a child, he was friends with a young Emma Taylor, who he refers to as the "one who got away." He was also close with Ray Finnegan, who eventually grew up to be a prominent local mobster. Rossi, however, avoided the lure of organized crime, and joined the Marines. After being discharged, Dave was recruited by the Bureau. He subsequently cut most ties with his former life, not even returning to Commack for Emma's funeral in early 2009. Rossi has had an apparently illustrious FBI career and sterling reputation, even outside the BAU confines. He claims to have "written the book" on hostage negotiation, and stepped in as a hostage negotiator in 4×03 ("Minimal Loss") when his fellow agents Reid and Prentiss were held hostage. He takes an annual leave to do cross-country lecture and book-signing tours, which apparently attract a lot of female fans, "if Barry Manilow isn't in town." He worked with Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) prior to his retirement from the Bureau. Rossi has been married 3 times, but has said the only people he knew how to make happy were "divorce lawyers". One ex-wife allegedly said he had a "flair for the dramatic", but he never specified which. He seems to be a lapsed Catholic, but still has a close relationship with D.C. priest Father James Davison.

Rossi was in early retirement until his voluntary return to the BAU in 2007. He had retired in order to write books and go on lecture tours, but returned to settle some unfinished business which wasn't immediately specified. Having served in an early form of the BAU, it was initially hard for Rossi to acclimatize to the current team structure, but he eventually did. Rossi revealed to Sheriff Caulfield his reason for returning: he held out a charm bracelet with the names of three children from one of his first cases. The children had found their parents stabbed to death in the family home with an axe, but the BAU couldn't solve the case. Rossi had promised the children he would find out who did it. Each year on Christmas Eve, Rossi called the children to let them know he hadn't forgotten them and hadn't given up on solving the case of their parents' murders. He kept with this tradition through his return to the BAU, though none of the children had replied to his most recent calls. The case had gone unsolved for 20 years. It was finally solved when the BAU found that a mentally handicapped carny clown had committed the murders accidentally when he broke into the house to play with the oldest daughter, the father surprised the man in the parents' bedroom and triggered the resulting attacks. After finally solving the case he gave to the kids, now grown up, the bracelet he kept with him and the house where the murders took place, which he had bought. While initially Rossi came back from retirement only to solve this case he continues working in the BAU.

Penelope Garcia

Penelope Garcia is the team's Audio/Visual Technician at BAU Headquarters in Quantico, VA. When she speaks with Morgan they use pet names such as "hot stuff" or "sweet cheeks" or he calls her "baby-cakes". Garcia frequently answers the phone with comments like "This is the office of All Knowing; how may I be of assistance?" She is into online games, specifically MMPORGs. She has broken down crying several times due to the fact that the area of her job is to listen to and watch terrifying things in her office to analyze them for the team. However, according to Hotch, she "fills her office with figurines and color to remind herself to smile as the horror fills her screens."

Garcia was shot by an UnSub with the hero/homicide complex in Season three by the name of Jason Clark Battle ("Lucky" and "Penelope") when she flags several open homicides to help out the families she helps council without knowing that Battle is the murderer in all of the cases. She has since recovered, and is currently dating another Technical Analyst by the name of Kevin Lynch. She may also be the only person that Derek Morgan truly trusts, and they are considered to be best friends.

"JJ" Jareau

JJ graduated from East Allegheny High School near Pittsburgh, PA, where she was the captain of the varsity soccer team her senior year and earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. In Season One, she and Reid went on a date to a Washington Redskins game, but nothing has come of it romantically. In Season Two, when she and Reid split up the night of Reid's abduction (2x15), JJ walked into a dark barn and was attacked by several ferocious dogs, which she shot and killed. This had a great effect on her emotionally but has not come up since then. She also ended up shooting Jason Clark Battle - the man who had shot Garcia (3x09) - in the head, subsequently making him the first human she ever had to shoot.





Fun Facts:

· Is the team's liaison with local FBI branches and police agencies.

· Her favorite football team is the Washington Redskins.

· 2x09 is the first time we saw her draw her gun. 2x15 is the first time that she wore a bulletproof vest.

· When she picks cases that the team works on, where there are victims around her own age, it affects her emotionally. The cases she doesn't pick also haunt her - she is aware that said cases may continue and more people may die.

· Is dating William LaMontagne, Jr., a Police Detective from New Orleans. Together they had a baby, Henry, and named Reid and Garcia his godparents.

· According to the season 2 DVD JJ is a Supervisory Special Agent - A certificate is shown on the special feature entitled "Profilers, Profiled" and on the chapter about JJ the certificate gives her the title of Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau.

· Knows how to play Gin, and has beaten Reid on several occasions.

· Has an Aunt and Nieces.

Derek Morgan

Morgan is a confident and assertive character, the son of an African American father and Caucasian mother. He has a black belt in Judo, runs FBI self-defense classes, previously served in a bomb squad unit and on the Chicago Police Force. Morgan went to Northwestern University on an athletic (Football) scholarship, but lost his scholarship when his knee was blown out during a game. He earned both his undergraduate degree and his law degree from Northwestern University ("Profiler, Profiled"). Morgan is the man's man of the team. He and his two sisters (Sarah and Desiree) grew up in a tough urban Chicago neighborhood. After the death of his father when he was 10, Morgan struggled somewhat and youthful fighting earned him a juvenile criminal record. He was taken under the wing of a local youth center coordinator, Carl Buford (Episode 2x12 "Profiler, Profiled"). Buford acted as a surrogate father to Morgan and helped Morgan obtain his college football scholarship, but also sexually abused him. In the season three finale, Morgan was told he was being considered to run the New York field office, if the current leader should fail. After the events of the season four opener ("Mayhem") where the head of the New York field office was killed, Morgan was offered the job as the head of the field office, but turned it down, after briefly considering it in "Lo-Fi", when Hotch fails to recommend him for the job, claiming Morgan has trust issues.

Morgan used to regard himself as the right hand man of Jason Gideon before Gideon's departure in the beginning of Season three ("Doubt"). He specializes in crimes pertaining to obsession and also has a very wide knowledge of explosives from his days on the bomb squad. Previously, he worked as an undercover agent in deep cover for eighteen months prior to joining the BAU. Occasionally, he takes delight in flirting with Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia, and the show often alludes to them being best friends. Morgan and Garcia are shown to be extremely close on several occasions: he confides in her that he loves her when she is shot (though we never find out if he means romantically or platonically) and when he trusts her to help him dispose of a live bomb in the season four opener ("Mayhem"). His birthday is June 6, 1973, making him around 35 years old (Episode 2x12 "Profiler, Profiled")

Emily Prentiss

Emily Prentiss is the daughter of Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss who was primarily posted at the United States Embassy in the Ukraine, but has also been posted in some positions in Italy and the Middle East. All this moving around caused her adolescence and family live to be less than enjoyable. Prentiss has expressed extreme disdain for politics as a result. Prentiss apparently lived in Middle East some during her childhood, and she is fluent in Arabic, Spanish, Italian, and some Russian ("Honor Among Thieves" and "Catching Out"). She was placed on the Behavioral Analysis Unit by Section Chief Erin Strauss as a means to end SSA Hotchner's career, but quit instead of helping Strauss ("In Birth and Death") claiming she hates politics. Hotch recognized her on her first day at the BAU from one of his first commands where he set up security clearance for her mother and her employees. She graduated from Yale in 1993, and has been working for the FBI for around ten years, primarily in the Midwest until she joined the BAU--it is unknown what she did between the year she graduated with her undergraduate degree up until the time she joined the FBI.

Emily is a self-described nerd who feels like she can never date a guy for very long before he is either scared away by the job or her nerdiness. She reveals to Morgan that she loves to read Kurt Vonnegut, and he informs her that he does as well, the two of them discussing the Vonnegut book she buys at the end of a case ("Fear and Loathing"). In season three, she offers to become the guardian for a victim who lost her entire family, but the girl's aunt and uncle were located and agreed to let her live with them. In season four, when Jordan Todd - JJ's maternity leave replacement - feels like an outsider, Emily befriends her until JJ returns. Emily is also shown to have a very close friendship with Derek Morgan. She was born at 7:12 AM on October 12, 197- ("Cold Comfort"). She graduated Garfield High in 1989 and apparently rocked a very Cure-esque look in high school ("Tabula Rasa").

Throughout the show it is hinted that Emily has a somewhat tumultuous past, which is expanded upon in "Demonology," where it is revealed that when she was fifteen she had an abortion in Italy, which she believes caused the downward spiral of her friend, Matthew Benton. Benton was recently killed during what was eventually found to be an unsanctioned exorcism, and Prentiss pushes the BAU to look into. She takes on a great deal of responsibility of Benton's death, which causes some dissent between she and Hotch, but seems to bring she and Rossi closer together.

Dr. Spencer Reid

Reid is a genius who graduated from a public high school at age twelve and went to Cal Tech (with Yale as his safety school) at thirteen where he earned three doctorates in Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering by the age of twenty one. In addition he holds undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Sociology and is currently working on another degree in Philosophy (4x08 "Masterpiece"). He has an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute. It has also been stated that while in high school he suffered severe bullying at the hands of his classmates, including an incident when he was tricked into going to meet a girl he liked behind the school field house, where the entire football team was waiting for him. They stripped him naked and tied him to a goal post. He was humiliated and said nothing until he told Morgan (3x16 "Elephant's Memory"). In his youth, his father left him and his mother, no longer able to deal with the paranoid schizophrenia of Reid's mother, Diana. Reid grew up learning nearly everything he knows from books, with his mother often reading to him. Still, Reid knew the way his mother was living wasn't healthy. When he was eighteen, he had his mother placed in a mental institution, Bennington Sanitarium. She is still there, and Reid has stated that although he sends letters every day, he is afraid to visit her up until season four when we see him visit her to learn about his father. Reid is also worried about the fact that his mother's illness can be passed on genetically; he once told Morgan that "I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind". He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and is very adept at all card games.

Spencer Reid is the youngest member of the B.A.U., and has yet to reach his thirtieth birthday. He has had to shoot and kill two UnSub's during his assignment to the BAU. He has also been held hostage, drugged, and tortured at the hands of an UnSub with multiple personality disorder.

It is made clear that the rest of the team is aware of Reid's drug addiction problem that he obtained after being drugged while he was held hostage, but he seems to have improved over the following episodes, and he apparently has been clean for ten months at the end of season three ("Elephant's Memory").

Reid is the godfather of JJ`s son Henry.

Aaron Hotchner

Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner is the head of the BAU Team. His story revolves around balancing his family life and career. He was the only married team member through the middle of Season 3. His ex-wife, Haley has primary custody of their young son, Jack (who was born in Season 1). Prior to joining the BAU, he was a lawyer, a prosecutor and at one point, SWAT. He sometimes teaches hostage situations and negotiations. He is silent, smiles very little and shares little of his personal life. Like the others, as Season 2 came around, we learned more about Hotch and some of his family life.

As of Season 3, Hotch's professional and personal lives didn't mesh well. With Gideon having resigned from the BAU, Hotch stepped up and filled the role vacated by Gideon. He slowly became the father figure that Gideon was. For the most part, Hotch still kept his personal life out of work. He revealed Haley had filed for divorce and in a rare conversation, shared his feelings about his failed marriage with Rossi (3.17 "The Crossing"). Hotch works late regularly as he has nobody to go home to. Haley filed for a divorce from Hotch in episode 3.11 "Birthright". In episode, 3.14 "Damaged", Hotch signed the divorce papers, giving Haley an uncontested divorce. In the episode "Damaged", we saw a very different side of Hotch. Hotch's anger and frustration over his divorce put him and Reid in a dangerous situation. It also showed Hotch short tempered with everyone around him.

Mandy Patinkin left Criminal Minds

Mandy Patinkin's (Agent Jason Gideon) departure from the show left a big hunger for people t know what actually happened with him.
Many conclusions have come up, but people assures that none are true.
Apparantly, he left because he had disagreements with the directors about letting him do the character the way he did. Other thing was that he felt the show was too violent, or the fact of living around so many things like that drove him nuts.
Fortunately, Joe Mantegna (David Rossi) is replacing him. Is not like I don't care Patinkin left, but it is good to know that somebody else is in the team again.
I hope Mantegna dows HIS character not trying to make it like Gideon.

Alex O'Loughlin's apperance in the show

As we can see Alex O'Loughlin's appearance in Criminal Minds was an outstanding new for most of his followers.
In the show, he played the role of a man whsaw how his father killed his mother and because of that decided to kill women the same way his father did. This didn't las long until he found a boy who he felt identified with.
Personally, I saw the episode and I could see that he did a really good role. He really caught my attention.

When I saw it on TV, it was unbelievable! But now, I can see that it might be true, but I hope it isn't.

Here is a letter he wrote las month fro his fans:

“Hi CM Fans, Thomas here. I just wanted to say that in response to all the conversation on the blog, that I love playing A. Hotchner on Criminal Minds; that we have the best crew, cast, writers, and production staff in the world. I have loved working on the show for four seasons and look forward to many more. I realize that none of this could happen without the support of our fantastic fans. We count ourselves very lucky to have so dedicated and enthusiastic an audience as you. Thanks for watching and we look forward to providing you with great shows for a long time to come. - Thomas Gibson.”

I hope that none of our characters leave the stage. It is more than enough that Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) left. =(

Matthew Gray Gubler talks about his injury

Matthew apparently suffered an injury in his knee while producing the movie "500 Days of Summer", where he played an important role as one of the main characters.

"I've actually started to feel like a regular person again," he says. "I forget which knee I even hurt at times, which is pretty amazing considering it was about a seven-month adventure. I really did a good job."

Criminal Minds

The series is based on an actual group in the FBI, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) based out of Quantico, Virginia. While most crime dramas focus on solving a specific crime, Criminal Minds goes deeper. Here it is the physiological cat and mouse game between the ‘unsub’, unknown subject for those out there not up on the jargon, and the BAU team. After being asked by a local jurisdiction for help the BSU team gets on their private jet and whisk off to the crime scene. Once there they examine the evidence and try to form a profile of the perpetrator. The real men and women that do this job on a daily basis are respected here. They are a special breed who willing try to get into the most sick and twisted minds imaginable to save lives.
