Some actors play characters so well it’s hard to imagine them in any other role. Such was the case with C.S. Lee’s appearance on Criminal Minds Season 10 Episode 2.
As Masuka, C.S. Lee brought light moments to Showtime’s Dexter. He’ll forever and always be Masuka. Even if he’s playing someone who wants to get revenge on his father.
Half of the episode was spent waiting for Lee to break out in a signature Masuka moment, but that never happened. In some ways that was good because it shifted the focus of the episode away from the case and toward a more important story:
Morgan and Garcia.
If you watch Criminal Minds online, you know that Morgan and Garcia have been through many, many hardships and heartaches together over the seasons. That made their rift this week both real and heartbreaking.
All Garcia wanted was for Morgan to listen to her, to accept her pain, and to understand where she was coming from. His anger at the man who attacked Garcia and Reid prevented him from doing that.
Relationships on television, and in real life, have fallen apart for much less, so this moment was a poignant one for them. That he was waiting for her made only endeared them to us more.
