Zugzwang

The show has been Building this character and it's arc with Reid for some time , we were all excited for the next step for them.

And to end it like that , it's just a very bad writing and emotional blackmail. There is a few bad episodes in this show , but this is one by far is the worst .

I have been active in this website for almost 9 years , and this is my first and only review . That should tell you something about how I'm feeling right now.

Honestly, I can't take criticism of a TV show if the writer can't be bothered to proofread for spelling errors or use proper grammar.

Ending was the only part worth watching in this episode. The rest was simply poor and very, very trivial. Well, Michelle Trachtenberg was nice, and did everything she could to look psychopathic. Matthew Gray Gubler delivered his part as gracefully as usual. But. The plot was a disaster, so predictable and plain, and totally unbelievable! It was stupid from the beginning, when Reid first heard about stalker and did not do anything about it, but it got much more stupid with all the soapy garbage like "you will never have HIM" or "and now tell her you don't love her". I wanted to hide under my bed from all these pathetics. I love the show, and season 8 is good, and I will just try to wipe this episode out of my memory.

I cry my eyes out! I could not believe it! I was so in to the story that everything took me by surprise, it was something different, I did not expect it to end like that. I totally turn my brain off, somehow I connected with Reid, I was feeling everything that they were feeling. The story, the characters, the anticipation, everything was different but so enchanting that it consume me completely, I was amaze with the change in personality of the main character in the story because he is always so present and in this episode he was lost, this shows that love can do a lot of different things to your body, mind and soul. I definitely enjoy the episode but no more sadness please!

i will not explain much but i must say this episode actually caused me to loose all hope in criminal minds and i no longer want to watch these series again they need not to add sadness in the story line also they are adding to much blood and gore to these shows ........why not add some episodes that don't involve non stop murder or etc .....like hacking causing accidents or something else.......the plot on this story how ever was very interesting it was like i almost felt as if i was in the same mind and concept as the young man but after everything started to take place it kinda throws out of the loop and makes you wonder if this show is even worth watching anymore .....all you see on criminal minds anymore is death,,,rape,,,,kidnapping nothing new or exciting even a terrorist attack would be interesting .
