On episode 17 of Criminal Minds, “Valhalla,” we have seen several exciting and intense moments but beware, this is just the beginning.
According to TV Fanatic, the opening was not for the faint of heart or those not paying exceptional attention to what was going on. Sadly, I failed the second part, and I even have DVR.
I didn’t realize that two different husbands and wives were killed in two different ways until Rossi and Hotch started explaining it.
I’m not going to try and make excuses for not following what was happening, it was just confusing. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be a blur, as there were small things that made each family stand out (i.e. the husband cursing in Italian over the spilled soda).
If it was, then great job, it worked and I got lost.
The main part of the episode is the continuation of Ian Doyle exacting revenge on those who sent him to prison. As we know from “Coda” (or learned from the “previously on…”) Emily worked undercover at Interpol and was one of the major players in Ian going to jail.
I get that she has trust issues and she is not quick to trust the BAU team. What I am clearly missing is why she is working so hard to hide what she knows from the team.
Also, how is it out of the entire BAU only the computer nerd Garcia notices that Prentiss is being weird? My boss can tell at a glance when I had something bad for lunch; how are the trained behavioral experts not noticing things like her making weird calls in the bathroom or randomly puking at crime scenes?
I do give Morgan credit for trying to get her out of her shell.
He at least took a little time and talked to her in the car. I also have to mention that Shemar Moore has a voice that would melt butter. Someone needs to get him reading some audio books, he has an amazingly smooth voice.
Indeed, a commendable episode, I hope the excitement and thrill will continue on the next episode.
