    Ghost

    A good episode, even if it was a little ridiculous.

    This show may not be what it once was, but it was a still an enjoyable and action-packed one.

    Big blooper slipped through.

    I still love this show, I'm currently binge watching the season on one of my Dish channels. Love the Cat shows, they're always pretty entertaining. Poor Spencer, he just can't seem to rid himself of her. The thing that got me was the blooper that Prentiss got through all the editing. She said one line that completely got through all editing. "She's not making this hard." I had to rewind to double check what I heard and that was the exact line delivered. I'm not sure how that got through, but I'm hyper-sensitive to those things and it's hard for me to get past it. All in all it's still a good show, good enough for me to risk a subscription to view the episodes on the streaming service that picked it up after the debacle that took it off the air.

    Don't watch if you're tired.

    Are the producers trying to give young inexperienced writers and directors a shot at a big time prime time show? You know, like in sports, when a team is so far behind in the score, they know there's no chance of winning, so they let the rookies finish the game?

    Not the best, not the worst

    I'm seeing a bit of a trend in this last season of CM. The writers seem to be packing a lot of story in 40 or so minute shows. This episode definitely had some plot holes, which I won't mention here because of spoilers; but the episode was entertaining enough to keep watching through to a satisfying outcome.

    Oof

    The script. The script. So bad. Oof. But pressing on... only a few episodes left.

      Continuation of an episode from the first season L.D.S.K. (2005) (Long Distance Serial Killer). The reason for the distinction between LDSK and a sniper:
      • The public perception is that the FBI doesn't have an exemplary record with snipers.
      • A sniper is a professional marksman.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Dave pulls the biker into the bathroom, you can see a mirror on the wall that has a palm tree and a sun on it. That same mirror was used in Spectator Slowing (2020) where the unsub destroys it.
