Criminal Minds 4×16 — “Pleasure is My Business”: I thought this was a pretty good ep. I haven’t enjoyed Criminal Minds too much this season, as the weekly killers are getting more and more repetitive and there aren’t any personal story arcs to speak of as far as the characters are concerned, but I enjoyed this week’s effort. They always talk about how rare female serial killers are, but this is the third or fourth one that has been featured on CM already. Still, this week’s murderer had a believable motive and was actually a bit sympathetic as well.
Speaking of character development, I really would like to see something happening along those lines. I think we’ve gotten a lot of backstory on Reid, Morgan, and Dave, but not nearly enough on Hotchner. He’s the clear leader of the group now and he’s so quiet and mysterious most of the time… I want to learn more about him, please!
House 5×16 — “The Softer Side” I have to say that I didn’t really like this episode very much. The patient of the week’s story felt unoriginal, perhaps because I just saw a baby with the EXACT SAME CONDITION on Private Practice the week before. So ho hum for that one. And to have the diagnosis be simple dehydration? Well, that was rather anticlimactic, to say the least.
I didn’t like the way the writers handled House on methadone, either. What were they trying to say there? That he can only be a great doctor when he’s in complete pain and is an asshole to people? Because otherwise his judgment is clouded and he caves in too easily to stupid ideas. Meh, whatever!
