The Winner Is…Criminal Minds
Hal Boedeker - the TV Guy- reports that CBS was #1 in ratings Wednesday night. Power of Ten, hosted by Drew Carey pulled in the most viewers for the eight o’clock hour at about 8.7 million people. Rerun Criminal Minds episode “Lessons Learned” was also the top ranked show for 9:00, averaging 8.3 million viewers. Pretty impressive when a rerun generates that many viewers.
“Lessons Learned” first aired on November 22, 2006, and has agents Gideon, Prentiss, and Reid traveling to Guantanomo Bay, Cuba, to try to stop a chemical terrorist attack on the U.S. In this episode, Prentiss shows why she’s in the unit. Her knowledge of the Arabic language and culture is key in trying to prevent the anthrax attack that jihadists have planned. (For an episode recap go to TV.com) This episode was written by real BAU agent Jim Clemente.
Here’s a clip of Clemente talking about his job as a profiler. He specializes in cases involving children, particularly internet crime.

WHY women are so interested in televised forensics, I don’t know.

The Prentiss we see in this episode is so different from the one at the end of last season–her character really changed–I think the personalities of the characters is one reason people like the show–they are not static stereotypes. Any news on whether her character will re-appear this season?

I think you’re mixing up Prentiss and Elle. Elle left after she shot a rape suspect in Season Two, and Prentiss was her replacement. They are both tall, thin, dark haired women, so I can see how you could confuse the two. I don’t know about Elle, but I do know Prentiss will be back for Season Three. At the end of the second season, she is threatened with the loss of her job unless she helps get rid of Hotch. So I’m sure she’ll be a big part of the upcoming episodes.
