"Overall, it was ok. If this ep was one in a series of new eps, then it may have been better to me, but to have this be the first new ep after such a long time, it just didn’t work for me. :-( It seemed like the focus on Reid was too deliberate. I understand that it was supposed to focus on him, but the ep Demonology featured a lot of Emily, but it didn’t feel forced like this was. :-( So when he was like “I let myself down.” I disconnected… You think he would know that whether curing disease or stopping ppl with mental diseases, either way you are helping society. The only thing that changes is ‘how’. Either way, the value is what *he* put on it.

It’s like with Gideon cutting out, and after Emily “died”, Reid wondering to Hotch “What are we doing any of this for…”, Reid letting himself down sounds more like “sympathy talk” to me. All of that is like “Oh poor Reid…Gideon left, then he’s questioning life choices, and now letting himself down? Oh poor Reid.” This ep seemed like the faces that we recognize, but the “characters” weren't there.

Again though, I did love the birthday party!!! :-) That, and Reid and Em at the table, was the best part!!!

And did you notice that there was ~*~*~ NO mention ~*~*~ of Beth???

If anyone should have a love interest it should be either, Morgan, Rossi or Reid. Morgan (mainly I want to know if anything ever happened with Tamara from last season), Rossi because he needs a new wife and marriage to fail at, ... "

"Okay, I have to disagree. I freaking loved this episode mainly because it really showed Reid's ability as a genius (I don't think the Big Sea was a stretch at all). I think that Reid questioning whether he was doing the right thing with his life made sense."
