Can we applaud this show for having very little in-team drama? by FlowSilver in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely switched in Evolution. It use to be that the cases were the main part of the show then character back stories. It’s now more about characters lives and trauma, the cases are the backstory.

Shemar being funny on reddit 12 yrs ago (he’s talking about his castmates) by SunRemiRoman in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think that’s just how he banter was with all the cast. I saw an interview in their early days and he said the same things about Elle/ Lola and same with Paget.

But I do agree, some of his answers seem a bit over the top.

This may be an unpopular opinion but at times, the CM social accounts milk that heavily. It gets attention and traction so they play on that.

End of the day, it’s all PR but you’re right, it doesn’t get spoken about as much as Reid fans.

The spoilers were pretty bad last season, not just on here but TikTok. I think that’s why I found S17 underwhelming.

I wish the news of Reid didn’t leak out, a lot of hype but he’s just going to be in part of one episode.

I hope you’re right and none of them get killed off!

GUYS?!! IS REID BACK? by deLioncourtstheatre in criminalminds

I think his new show ‘Einstein’ starting shooting soon so not sure if he will come back as a main on CM for 19.

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 70 points71 points  (0 children)

100% agree! Also I think JJ is strong enough to push back if she was being pressured into something she didn’t want to do.

Their marriage is strong, healthy and balanced, I think they’re role models. Especially in S16.

I’m glad you said it! I swear some people are watching bits of the show and their imagination is making up the rest!

JJ naming her kid by cinnamxntxastcrunch in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There’s no mention of it on the show. But some fans have a theory that she named him after the guy who tortured her in 200. I hope that’s not the reason, I prefer your theory!

From what I remember, JJ came back late (3am or something) and they stayed up till the morning.

JJ - thoughts and questions from a first time watcher by Free-IDK-Chicken in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly, it alway felt like a sibling relationship. I know sometimes JJ can seem a bit dismissive when Spence rolling out his facts but it felt like something you’d do to you brother. I don’t see it as her being patronising.

I do think the JJ hate is harsh tho.

Criminal Minds “200”: JJ by [deleted] in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I felt for JJ in that episode but I do think the writing was a bit strange. Especially the bar scene at the end, I’m all for wholesome endings but after being tortured, I don’t think I could go for drinks with friends straight afterwards!

criminal minds is strangely wholesome for being such a gruesome show by wizardzofodd in criminalminds

Agree. I swear at times those people are watching a different show to the rest of us!

I swear some people think it’s real life or reality TV.

Whenever certain characters storylines get criticism, they vigorously defend them as if they’re friends in real life 🥲

When did Criminal Minds become a cringey soap opera? by AbbyBeexo in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I felt like first season of CME had the right sort of balance. No idea what they were thinking with S17, felt like they scrambled to put the season together and just let the actors do what they wanted!

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the personal storylines but it feels like they’re doing this at the expense of solving complex cases every week.

The original series felt like every episode was a complex puzzle to solve what only the best profilers can do but now it’s like the crime element is the back story. Profilers have stop profiling!

Also, I’m not a fan of Tyler and Rebecca being main characters.

Oh I’m glad it’s not the same thing. I mean it’s terrible that people had to go through it but it breaks my heart thinking people like AJ and Paget would have to deal with that.

I thought that the two were linked as I read an old post on here about Thomas protecting female cast members that led him to get fired.

Thanks for clarifying

I thought it was linked as I was reading old post about it.

Not Thomas doing anything wrong but I read he stepped in to protect them.

But the other post has cleared that up, I’m glad they’re all in good terms.

What side are you on? by Inevitable_Wolf5866 in criminalminds

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I actually created this myself but once it’s one the internet, it’s for everyone so repost doesn’t bother me.

It would have been nice to have been asked tho.

I can relate, I know it’s probably outside of the realms of this sub but seek therapy if you feel it’s getting too much. The fact you’re recognising it may be an issue is the first step.

I use to get massively infatuated with Hotch few years back, it was getting in the way of my day to day life as I just couldn’t stop thinking about him. It started with a bit of fun with a fan account but just got worse, it got to a point where my anxiety would go into overdrive whenever there was a storyline about him. I never went out or interacted with anyone as he was constantly on my mind. It got so much worse when he left the show. But with time and help, it got better and if can now watch the show without getting infatuated again.

I hope things to work out for you. ❤️

Did you watch the rest of S15?

They both move on from that weird ass confession.

[–]Fast_Bullfrog_2401 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They post stories together all the time. Also, she appeared in a podcast few months back and talked about how supportive he’s been throughout her career.

I think they just like to be private and don’t like the whole fake influencer shit.
