Storyline

- TriviaThis is the first time there is neither an opening, nor a closing quote.
- GoofsWhen Morgan first tries to use the satphone it asks for a PIN and he laments that he can't call for help. Nearly all satphones will work on emergency service numbers such as 911 in the US, and if not then on the global emergency mobile number 112 bypassing the PIN code. While some services have different emergency numbers, any half-decent FBI agent would at least try 911 and/or 112 before giving up on the phone.
- Quotes
Penelope Garcia: This is the block Derek was taken from. That blue dot is him and then at 9:23, we loose him. So., I checked all the other cell signals in the area, they're all legit, aside from one, that I was able to find thanks to some technology no one else outside this room needs to know about
Featured review
Finally!
Criminal Minds has been in a quandary for quite a while (3+ seasons!), it got a brief respite when the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt joined...Then she got pregnant and doh, back to the drawing board! It has tried new characters and apart from JLH, failed miserably, and my view is that the thing that sets criminal minds apart from all other shows, and I mean all, is they have never had a major character death, the grieve, avenge, breathe & relieve/repeat process has never happened since Emily Prentiss, which lets face it, we all expected and never really was the real deal!
So it was sort of good to see this episode, it gave us a brief insight into Dereks past, although we are left to surmise a number of things, and gave us the shock value of potential loss, however, is this 8 or 9 series to far in?! I also cannot quite escape the feeling that hmm, easy option again rather than risk a loss of a good character.
I really enjoyed the episode and it will probably galvanise the show for another series, but to be honest, its old, its dated, and it needs some serious kick up the bum to get back to its prime time worthiness. There are cast members that cannot be lost (Kirsten Vangsness should be on screen more!), but then one or two can easily take one for the team!!
