Criminal Minds: Lo-Fi

By fred | May 22, 2008

I couldn’t believe it, especially since it seemed all the team members got inside one, and only them. Since it seems unlikely that someone would survived such a thing, did we just loose someone ?? I really hope not, and so here I go wishing that for some reason the British Haley got inside one of those SUV, alone.

My first thought was that it was JJ - which I would really hate - because she’s pregnant and happy. This is just the most common cliché of all : create a happy couple, finally (back) together, better if pregnant, and then kill one of them, usually her. Just see the first season of 24 ! I also thought of Morgan, with the highlight they put over him, from the bar to Garcia drolling over him, but I really don’t want it to be JJ, or Morgan, or Reid, or anyone really.

Here’s what I have :

- Emily : it’s not her, that’s for sure. First of all, the traffic signs don’t match, plus her car is 968N2 and the one who blew up is not. (Seems to be RDAWT or something like that, I can’t really see, but it doesn’t matter : it’s not Emily, and they took care to hide all the others anyway.)

- Reid : Not him, he’s safe (Thank God!) You can see a street lamp as he get in not by the car at the end, doesn’t match.

- Garcia : A police car was going right after the car, but a sign next to blown up car says you can’t turn there. Of course, it’s a police car and there was a siren… Also there’s a big street lamp or something next to her car, that isn’t by the other car. Doesn’t match either, it’s not her.

- JJ : I don’t think the hotel street matches the other street, plus the car would be right in front of hotel and right at the corner… doesn’t seem likely. I don’t think it’s her.

- Morgan : I feel it doesn’t match, especially with the other crossing signals we see when he gets in, but that might be wishful thinking on my part. I don’t think it’s him though.

- Rossi : Could be!! I can’t see anything going against it, or anything for it either.

- Hotch : Could be!! We don’t see him getting in a car, though, do we? Is it because he doesn’t, he let his British wife take the car instead or something, I’m going with that theory myself for now, but it seems to me it’s either Hotch or Rossi. Rossi I really doubt it since he just got in, and Hotch I just don’t want that to be, so here we go.

And now we have to wait months before we know whose car blew up, who died (if anyone, but I can’t see how anyone survived), or if this was all them playing the unsubs and no one was in that car, though I don’t see how this could be, because they didn’t really had time to come up with such a plan, and if it was meant to let it happen so they think they are winning, it was in front of a camera, so who got in and how did they escape ? (Garcia couldn’t have been helping hacking the system, could the other girl have ?)

Okay, months to wait for an answer, that’s going to be hard, really, but it’s okay. By the way, it’s not really spoilery I think, as it doesn’t really say much in itself, but I hear the season 4 premiere will be called “Mayhem”… I can’t wait, and I’m certainly thrilled to see the show end with a bang, and a really good episode !
