Criminal Minds 7×12 — “Unknown Subject”: This episode was okay — much better than some of the recent ones, so it gets a pass from me. I liked that viewers weren’t clued in to the unsub from the opening frame and there was a question about the Piano Man’s identity all the way until the very end. The “mystery” has been missing from far too many episodes in the past few seasons, so I liked getting that element back.
Still, the episode wasn’t perfect. My main problem with it goes to the way Bartholomew was “tied” up with the piano wire. It didn’t look like he was very secure at all, and I’m pretty sure he could have made his escape at any time. That he calmly hung around after Regina shot him is something I’ll never understand.
Ooh, an allusion to Emily’s rape. Have we ever gotten the full story on that? I don’t think so, but I might have missed it. If it hasn’t been revealed, it’s definitely time!
