I am breaking up with Criminal Minds. The emotional blackmail of this last episode, combined with the sloppy storylines and decrease in actual profiling, has combined to end my love.

Also, I avoided this for as long as possible, but it's clear I need a Loki icon or six. Because Loki. Probably at least one Cap/Coulson icon, too. Or Stark/Coulson. Because yum.

OMG WHAT THE FFFFFFF WAS THAT EPISODE?

If I hadn't already broken up with it, I would. In fact, I might get back together with it, and THEN break up with it once more. I'm watching the older seasons and the difference in quality is embarrassing.

Uh Oh. What did they do now?

I approve of Loki icons! <3

Oh wow--really? How interesting!

I know that whenever I see the recent crop of promos I get a little nauseated--they seem to have gone right into ick factor nine.

I would love to hear about this emotional blackmail if you're up for it. ;) I'm always interested in how a show lets down a fan.

This past Wednesday? I haven't seen it yet---guess I will go see. Is it that bad? I have had a REALLY bad week, so I am not up to par with anything. :/

Sorry about the breakup. I broke up with them for S7 (I found the first few eps intolerable and haven't watched any of the rest of it. Except for the last one!) I started watching for the new character and I really do like her. I've been enjoying it for the most part. Though they don't seem to bring too many in alive....

I figured as soon as Reid had a girlfriend that Things Would End Badly. (And I'm a Leverage fan, so kept waiting for the g/f to do an awesome Parker move--then I'd be like, oh, yeah. Not Parker.) I was hoping that the stalker was a red herring...that maybe she was making it up, something like that, but alas, no. Although I suppose they thought they were being clever with that kill shot, but honestly? No.

And ffs, Reid's gonna be joining his mama very soon if they keep this up. (Er, though it did make me think of the massive h/c fic ops. Yeah, slasher through and through.)

I am to the point where I generally don't watch it on TV and wait to d/l it--though I was lucky with this one, it aired in Canada a day before, so I was able to d/l it early.

I think the change of showrunner really screwed CM up--that and losing some of their best writers. It's always sad when a show goes downhill...and no one at the show or network seems to notice.

I'm with you...as soon as I saw the 'girlfriend', I thought, this is going to end badly. Especially after the ep where she and Reid were going to meet and then Reid called her to tell her not to come. It's become so transparent and predictable that it's painful to watch. And the new character is so..blah. (This is not a criticism of the actress..I just don't think they've figured out how to use her yet.) I watch when I can, but CM is no longer on my 'Must see' list.

On the other hand, I can highly recommend "Person of Interest" . Excellent actors, well-written stories and plot twists that you can't see coming a mile away!

Hearing you leave CM hurts worse than dead!Reid lover. So.....massive amounts of AU to make up for the last season fails...?

I stopped watching CM when it aired years ago, and just buy the seasons when they come out. Would you recommend stopping at the last season? (which I haven't finished watching) It wouldn't be the first time I've had a cut off point with a show. I think tv shows should have expiration dates, let them go out while they're still good, instead of dragging terrible episodes on for years. "cough" CSIs "cough"
