AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey everyone a fortnight without Criminal Minds, who went into withdrawal?! Thankfully during the break I re-watched the entire series & also my bobble heads from Anna Fleiner arrived & they are amazing, she is such an amazing person that she even sent me a special gift that blew me away, so amazingly awesome… Too see pix of thm click on the following links: Everything & The Bobble Heads. The Bobble Heads box has been signed by the entire main cast: Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J Cook and Kirsten Vangsness. The extra present from Anna is an autographed cast photo that's personalised to me. Recieving these sent me into a fangirl mode I am still coming down from, feel very honoured & priveleged. Shall treasure these items forever & EVER! Massive THANKS to Anna!

As I mentioned throughout the review I was in the online chat that Jayne Atkinson and Erica Messer on the…Thursday after the episode Aired – Friday for me!!! Jayne is amazing she took charge of that chat session like a pro and her answers and Erica’s some of them had me in absolutely stitches of laughter… I was in during my lunch break at work so had to be discrete in my laughter, which was why I generally just had tears rolling down my face from trying NOT to laugh out loud!! Was a great chat and again was honoured to have had one of my questions answered… On a roll so far, got my question asked first when Joe did his chat and got my question answered second during chat with Jayne and Erica. The ladies were amazing and I had many fantastic images in my head from some of their answers.

SEASON SEVEN, EPISODE EIGHT: “Hope”
SPOILER ALERT

Straight into the episode this week…

I thought that this episode was fantastic, it was great to see sooo much emotion in Garcia, such an amazing episode for her and OMG Kirsten was just amazing… Like last week getting to see JJ’s emotions with her family, we got to see Garcia with hers… I am honestly just loving the emotions that have been shown on everyone’s parts this Season, it’s been truly amazing and each week I look forward to seeing what will happen and what else will be revealed… I might be a Paget and Prentiss fan, so personally would love to see some more stuff involving her given the whole death thing, not that we haven’t seen a fair bit already, I’d just like to see more, but that’s me personally… I have absolutely no issues with how this season has gone, we are learning so much about each of the characters and we are seeing personal moments with each of them and I am thoroughly enjoying every moment… cannot wait til the next episode.

Also have to comment that OMG Jack Coleman is an extremely talented actor… he has this amazing way of being such a Fantastic bad guy, because he played the perfectly sweet and caring man… I just thought the character was amazing and Jack did a fantastic job playing him, thoroughly impressed with the casting of this episode… amazing… Seriously this Season is NOT disappointing!!! I am so excited each week for the new episodes!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Most exciting thing that has happened in the last week… For those of you that follow @annafleiner on Twitter and saw the auction she had for the autographed bobble head set, well I’m the crazy person who spent… a LOT and won them… Can’t wait for them to arrive, have a look at them and then hide them away with rest of my autograph collection. Other than that... Have found out what the fan mail address is for Criminal Minds and so now I am working on a fan letter and some other stuff to send… current work in progress :)

Another fantastic ending scene! I love seeing all the emotions of JJ in this episode in regards to her family, we just haven’t seen enough of those lately and it was also great to see some Will and Henry! I love that in the Seven years of Criminal Minds we have seen the character of JJ grow so much and seeing her in this way in this episode was fantastic, the worried mother with other issues at home, but at least Will is understanding to what she does having been a cop himself... Anyway, loved the episode and can’t wait to see more... GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!!!!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am apologising now because I don’t know if this review with have the correct amount of Criminal Minds squee towards it, as I’ve had a crazy few weeks and am totally in a fangirl mode for something completely different *cough* Amanda Tapping and Sanctuary *cough* Guess that’s what happens when you met your idol… Anyways, I did also meet Nicholas Brendon who plays Garcia’s boyfriend Kevin Lynch, who we have not seen yet in Season Seven, but have been told we will see him in the Season – Yay!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey Readers, I figure since I’ve been adding a little bit of a personal note at the beginning of each review I should continue to do so... And I’m going to stop apologising for the reviews not being so incredibly details due to lack of time, because the one things have been going I don’t think any episode is going to be any different, RL is crazy and well, I do kinda like it that one! Also I feel the need to advise my readers that I am in a very fangirly mode this week with a big convention coming up this weekend where I will be meeting my idol Amanda Tapping for the second time... Anyway, enough about unrelated things and on with review... Hope you enjoy it!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Another quick review from me again, sorry but RL is insane at the moment… Have a big convention/expo coming up in under two weeks and trying to get my Criminal Minds costume completed in time – even if the only guest from Criminal Minds that will be there will be a reoccurring character, it’ll be cool to have the costume!! Also got heaps of other stuff to get done in time… anyways, enough of excuses and on with review… hope you like it!!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I’m going to start off with an apology that this week’s review is not as full on as the last episode, real life has gotten a bit too real this week and I’ve been running around like a headless chook with everything else going on that I haven’t got enough time to sit down and write a thorough review on Proof before the next episode airs. So I apologies for the lack of review but promise to keep my enthusiasm going for the episode and future episodes, I doubt I will have any reason not to be though – this show IS the best!

There were soooooo many screen shots I wanted to get from that last scene and post up here, but I limited myself to just these few!! It really was an absolutely superb ending to a fantastic episode; I cannot wait to see more of this Season! Once again thanks to a fantastic cast and crew for bringing us such an amazing story, can’t wait until the next episode. THANKS!!

SEASON SEVEN, EPISODE ONE: “IT TAKES A VILLAGE”
SPOILER ALERT

AUTHOR'S NOTE: A lot happened in Season Six of Criminal Minds, JJ left earlier on in the Season and then later in the Season we had the amazing Ian Doyle storyline that ended in the ‘death’ of Emily Prentiss – who we know is alive and last we saw in Paris. With knowing that both characters were being brought back for the Seventh Season the anticipation for the new Season was incredible – Personally I couldn’t wait to see how they were going to bring Prentiss back from the dead and after seeing Season Six I VERY quickly became a Paget Brewster fan!

As all of us Cri-Minders impatiently waited for the Season Seven premiere to air, we were lucky enough to have been entertained in other ways as the cast, crew and co. released a music video called “Wheels Up”. This funny little quirky video is hilarious and also very catchy. As Thomas Gibson explained via Twitter the idea for the video came up when the cast were discussing what ring tones each of the characters would have and Thomas said that Hotch’s would be “Wheels Up” and from there the idea was hatched, I think that it is fantastic and I definitely get a laugh out of watching it. I am now eagerly waiting to see what the other characters ring tones will be...

On a personal note there are a few things that I would love to see this Season. As much as I love the JJ, Prentiss and Garcia Trio, it would be fantastic to have Seaver back for even a guest spot for those fans of hers to have a goodbye. I would also love if we had a appearance of Ambassador Prentiss, given everything that’s happened with Emily it would be cool to see her Mothers reaction to everything… I hope that we get to see more of Henry and Jack in this Season too.

Anyways, I shall now be waiting impatiently for the next episode to air! Thanks again to all those involved in Criminal Minds and all those responsible for bringing back our very much loved characters of JJ and Emily, their return was truly fantastic and I look forward to seeing more of Paget and AJ in the future, as a Cri-Minder I am so happy to have the team back together… both the characters and the actors… They are an GREAT group and help to bring us some amazing television. THANK-YOU!!!!
