There’s nothing quite like the opening segment of Criminal Minds Season 10 Episode 3 to throw all of the minor complaints (i.e. First World Problems) people have into stark relief.
No WiFi? No diapers? Meh. Your plane could crash and that would be way worse.
Naturally, the first thing on anyone’s mind when the words “plane crash” are spoken is terrorism. The BAU were called in to investigate the plane crash this week to determine what caused the plane to fall from the sky.
And why.
The episode relied on misdirection as the narrative guided both the BAU agents and the viewers through solving the mystery. Just as they were piecing together information, so were we at home.
The rogue military guys were classic misdirection, but they weren’t easily spotted as being misdirections. The conspiracy theorist’s retelling of events seemed plausible. Until he began making things up.
How did the co-pilot survive? That didn’t seem possible. It doesn’t seem possible. But then anything is possible on television, right?
In the end, this was a solid episode of Criminal Minds which allowed us to come along while the BAU solved the case and revealed pertinent information about some of the major players.
Kate doesn’t like to be seen as a helpless girl. (Who does?) She’s also an adoptive mom to a 13 year old, her sister and brother-in-law’s son.
Reid is really great at gaining people’s trust.
