I have followed this series from the beginning. I remember how the "unsub" was kept hidden with only fleeting glimpses of his/her face. We, the viewing audience, discovered the clues and built the "profile" along side the BAU. It was a challenge to see if one could get to the true identity of the bad guy/girl before the professionals. Each episode was all about the crime and the identity of the perp. Even when I would re-watch, knowing how it will end, I would still see details I had missed before. That is all in the past. During the last few years the emphasis has shifted from the "unsub" to all the personal problems and relationship issues of the cast. Aaron's divorce and being a single parent; JJ's martial strife; Spence's mom's schizophrenia; and now finally Dr. Lewis' dysfunctional family. The "unsub" is shown at the beginning committing the crime. I rated this episode a 1, not because I hated it but because I turned it off! I have also deleted it's timer from my DVR. Dear writing staff: Your ratings are in a tailspin because you have lost the focus of this once wonderful and awe-inspiring series. It is (or was) all about deduction and psychological profiles. If we, the viewing public, wanted a soap opera, we would watch daytime TV. Shame on you!
