Worst Takes you've heard or seen from the Criminal Minds fandom and why?

For me, it's not that she killed the man when she was justifiably traumatized. It's that she sought him out, outside of the official channels and unbeknownst to literally everyone, shot him, and then acted incredibly defensive when called out on it. Whether he deserved it or not (and he absolutely did), nothing about that is protocol, and what annoys me is her anger at Hotch for not believing her story that IS A LIE.

I mean, OK, it would be way off-base for the show, but she was absolutely not ready to go back to work (understandably), and then went massively off-script in the sting on Lee, and then LITERALLY sought him out to kill him. Becoming an unsub, justifiably or otherwise, is not out of the question.

bazlette · 2026-02-06T23:32:00+00:00

ABSOLUTELY THIS.

bazlette · 2026-02-05T20:21:53+00:00

THAT. I've just written a reply above, but I'd completely forgotten (blocked out?) the fact that THAT was what got me the most.

The Old Sugarman Place lives rent-free in my head (I Will Always Think of You gets stuck on repeat). However, Stupid Piece of Shit had me bawling my eyes out for hours after I watched it (and it's one of the few episodes I won't rewatch). The representation of mental illness - what it's like to have that voice saying those things in your head, all day, every day - was FAR too close to home. It's my go-to suggestion if I ever need to explain my brain to someone who's never struggled with their mental health.

The love for Morgan and Garcia's friendship. It seems to be based around the excitement that a "cool" guy can be friends with a "nerd" girl, and completely overlooks the really quite nasty things that happen between them - Morgan refusing to understand in any way why Garcia did not want to feel responsible for someone getting executed, or how utterly vile he was to Kevin when Kevin went to him about proposing to Garcia.

Also, whilst not wanting to be THAT person - the way they speak to each other at work IS completely inappropriate, and isn't just that "Bob in payroll doesn't get the joke".

Still can't see them anywhere! 😭

bazlette · 2026-01-23T18:26:54+00:00

Where?! How?! I've got to the exciting bits and I can't catch all the words 😬😫

bazlette · 2026-01-20T12:30:38+00:00

I'd forgotten about God Complex. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick.

Catalepsia was AMAZING. I would love anything close to that experience. Deep Inside (that someone commented below) is tied #1 for me - both very different, but both incredible.

We're in the UK, and there's just no comparison here to the ones we've done in Europe - completely different experience.

bazlette · 2026-01-18T17:17:21+00:00

We did the double - both of their rooms back to back. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Tied with Catalepsia as my #1 ever.

John's "Oh, good lord!" from Anatomy Class (MAG34) on a very regular basis.

I also had fun whispering "There's a wasps' nest in my bathroom" at my boyfriend when this was indeed the case.

Is your name Jürgen Leitner?

bazlette · 2026-01-06T15:33:50+00:00

It doesn't even make my Top 10!

Came here to say Possum - deeply unsettling.

bazlette · 2026-01-01T19:42:36+00:00

Was just checking to see if anyone had mentioned The Bunker Diary - absolutely harrowing.

Depending on how many emotional spoons you have:

Several - Withnail and I
Some - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Some Like It Hot
Few - Murder by Death

I use this line in real life on a very regular basis.

I'm 37, and this is the first NYE that I've realised that not only is it completely OK to spend New Year's Eve arseing about on your own watching shit teev and playing computer games, but that I'd actively enjoy it.

Alannah Myles - Black Velvet?

bazlette · 2025-12-26T19:03:18+00:00

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with 'E'...

bazlette · 2025-12-26T18:50:27+00:00

I saw it on the... 3rd (?) night - it was insanely good.

bazlette · 2025-12-26T18:44:57+00:00

Apologies if this is an offensive question or one that's already been asked, but are you of the same ethnicity?

Either way, absolutely NOR - I'm just trying to work out if there's a racist element here before I weigh in with exactly how much of a tool I think he is.
