Ben Savage really had the expressions down, you could tell he researched a lot. I love seeing an actor do that. It was nice that this episode felt a lot more like the good Criminal Minds. I've missed that - showrunners take note.

I like AJ Cook as an actress a lot, I think she does a great job with what she's given. My complaint is the character of JJ is a completely different JJ than what I enjoy. I liked her as the media liaison, the one the families went to, the one that didn't want to be a profiler and liked her role. I loved that she was a bit like Garcia in that she was sort of the bright light in the dark BAU. But then they just turned her into a super warrior-woman profiler and I feel like it ruined all the things that set her apart from everyone else on the team. I really, really miss the original recipe JJ. And it makes me hate this version of JJ the writers are so into.

Borin needs to be a regular on one of these shows! I love her character.

That was a steaming pile of crap. I was so disappointed Zach Morris got away - I thought we were going to be done with this crap storyline and no ... on it rolls like a driverless car. I remember really liking DB the first season. I feel like adding Finn ruined his character and the writer's just lost their minds.

My biggest gripe on CSI is when they fume prints in the chamber, and the chamber is see-through. Cyanoacrylate sticks to everything ... including the container you're fuming things in. So it should be opaque. I guess they figure we want to see what's inside? I just want to see it look like it's supposed to lol.

One of the couples is New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight and his boyfriend Harley Rodriguez. I'm really looking forward to seeing Jonathan race - I still remember when he was on Oprah because of debilitating anxiety and depression.

Samantha's outfit was very Olsen twins circa Full House. I can't believe how much I liked Gunnar this time around. A good example of using the second time around as a good springboard for the future - he didn't grate and was gracious and just all around nice this time. Really enjoyed him.

I didn't think I'd be rooting for Natalie at all when I heard she and Nadiya were going to be on the show - but I think what annoyed me about them was how they argue and scream at each other all the time. Apart, I've found Natalie extremely awesome. She deserves to win.

I couldn't see a damn thing in those car scenes, they were SO DARK. I've noticed this a lot lately with any night scenes - is someone trying to save money on the budget by not using any lights?? It's ridiculous and unwatchable.

Use Juliette's vet training more. She could contribute to so much of the animal side of wesen stuff and they just ... don't.

Was that the head of the Comescu (NCIS LA) family playing the widow?

Joe was born in Needham, grew up in Jamaica Plain. His official high school was in West Roxbury, but he barely attended b/c of NKOTB.

I hope Fin is murdered by the Gig Harbor Killer.

Did they ever say why Army and Air Force medics are medics and corpsmen aren't? Is the training different?

I don't think the hookup happened - I think Chantelle made it up as a way to try and bond with the girls and she went about it in a terrible way. She strikes me as someone with very little social skills because she's had her guard up all her life. I felt bad that she was obviously trying (in a misguided way) to connect, and got embarrassed for her efforts. I think she comes off very immature, egotistical and above others, but I can see where that grew from. I was also on her side with the panda deal. Yu Tsai full on knew that by calling her that, he was likely calling her something used to slur her all her life. Regardless of his intent, when someone asks you not to call them a name they feel is demeaning - YOU DON'T CALL THEM THAT. And you apologize and try and be more professional in the future. Ass.

Jack: "He's like a professional stalker ... the guy's a scumbag." FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! This is why I can't take his character seriously. You're lurking outside your ex's house, sneaking around their neighborhood and posting photos on your wall, and the paparazzi dude is a scumbag?!??!?! ARGH. Maggie Q is the only reason I continue to watch. Hear that, showrunners. The only reason.

I'd definitely like to see some longer term undercover stuff from the team.

I find her to be the most joyless person ever.

"I'm Five-Oh!" "No, you're a rat, shut your mouth." LOL Sang Min needs to be on more, he's hilarious.

I think it'll be interesting if Trubel dies somehow. She takes a lot of risks as it is, but I think the effect on Nick would be interesting. And how do you kill a Grimm? I think maybe it could be the thing that sways Juliette over into agreeing that Nick's Grimm abilities are something he needs to have - maybe he could have saved her if he was one etc. I feel like both Elementary and Grimm are doing this massive change to the characters/format that we know won't last too long, but really underscores how much of the show is good based on the premise - Sherlock/Joan working together and Nick being a Grimm. You remove that, and it really shows how much of the soul of the show goes missing. Took me FOREVER to realize Renard's mom was Louise Lombard. Despite seeing her name in the credits. And knowing her from CSI. You do an accent, and suddenly I don't recognize you lol.

I miss JJ the media liaison. She had such a different person with the team then, and it served her character well. Now she's just a writer's Mary Sue.

They desperately need to turn Dylan McDermott into a crazed stalker. I wish someone running this show had the balls to do it.

"Otters?" is now my favourite Deeks line.

The kid screaming annoyed me so much I was relieved when the unsub went and duct taped his mouth shut. I'm a horrible person lol.

I actually hope they set up Jack to get worse as a stalker until he becomes the focus of an investigation. They need to turn him into a bad guy, and they have to bring in a new male cop who has chemistry with Maggie Q, and they have to go after Jack as a stalker. Because that's the only way his character will work for me. He can't be some good-guy cop on a stalker task force and be a stalker at the same time. It just doesn't work. I HATE his character. I HATE HIM. Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to be creative about this, and my guess will be that Beth already knows Jack's deep dark past. Now, Beth's character on the other hand - this is intriguing and interesting! I really like her, I'm interested in her past, and I am invested in what her stalker will do next and how she'll deal with him. Jack can go take a flying leap.
