Criminal Minds: Yeah, there's a crime being committed

[thebitterguy]

So I watched this week's Criminal Minds because Wil Wheaton's on it and, well, gotta support a hobby brother, right?

Man, what a lousy show.

Seriously, the way the characters are written makes them seem even less genuine than the worst episode of CSI that Denis McGrath can imagine. They don't seem to DO anything. They just SAY things at each other (not to each other, but at), reciting laundry lists of psychological maladies and

They just keep talking at each other, blah blah blah. When it went back to the prospective victims and the villain, it got somewhat interesting, but then back to the investigators going "blah blah blah blah".

The show used to have Mandy Potenkin on it. It still sucked. But hey, he gave the show SOME gravitas. But mostly I liked the show better when it was Profiler...

This is why among police dramas, I prefer Bones.

That pretty much sums it up. There's something very detached and callous about how the characters handle the gruesome situations, which I think is a combination of bad acting and bad writing.
