Criminal Minds Season 5 Episode 9:Watch 100 Online S05E09
Criminal Minds Season 5 Episode 9:Watch 100 Online S05E09 – CBS’ Criminal Minds Season 5 Episode 9 (which was the 100th episode of the show) called “100″ aired last night.The writers finally humanized Hotch as he hopelessly watched his arch enemy The Reaper aka Foyett take away one of the most important thing in his life.Here is the synopsis of the episode.
The BAU team races to help Hotchner find The Reaper and save his family but sadly they get there too late.Not only does The Reaper kill Hotch’s wife,but he shot her while she was on the phone so the entire team get to hear her die.The emotionally packed story ended with Hotchner beating Foyett to death.It was a brilliant episode and Thomas Gibson (who we hope is not leaving Criminal Minds) delivers the performance of a lifetime.Here are few things that stood out:
-The interviews with the BAU members recalling the past events of Hotch vs The Reaper was very creative.
-The scene where Haley told Aaron to show Jack his loving side and the story of how they met was heartbreaking.
The writers twist which revealed that Jack “had to work the case in his special hiding place” added to the brilliance of this episode.
It was nice to see a different side of Strauss,she went from ice queen to a warm human who wanted to help Hotch at the end.After a storyline like that ,which direction do you think Thomas Gibson’s character should take? What are your thoughts on the episode?
That’s all we have for now on Criminal Minds Season 5 Episode 9.

It’s Hotch’s time to leave. Gideon’s long time friend was murdered. The job entered Gideon’s personal life in the Fisher King when that package came to his cabin. Gideon was never the same. Hotch’s wife is murdered, whilst the Reaper, the job, entered Hotch’s personal life. See a pattern? If he doesn’t leave during Season 5, it will happen eventually b/c he’s going to have to shift his priorities to Jack, who is going to need him more than ever.

The show last night was remarkable! Thomas Gibson has been fantastic since Criminal Minds began. I would hope to see the show create a new story line around Hotch being a single father. If Hotch does not return, I will not continue to watch the show. First Gideon, now Hotch…no reason to keep watching!

I agree that episode was remarkable. I too hope Thomas Gibson does not leave for good. But I still enjoy watching Matthew Gray Gubler also !!

I don’t think I ever cried so much b/c of a TV show before as I did while watching this episode. Having children myself, I can’t even imagine hugging my little girl knowing it will be for the last time as well as knowing she would be left alone with a serial killer once he kills me. This is one episode I find it difficult to watch again. C. Thomas Howell is a brilliant actor playing this sick and twisted man. I don’t think Hotch will regain his position as head of the team b/c he now has to be a full time father to his son. It would be nice to see Gideon come back at some point, but not as a replacement to Hotch. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

I am the number one fan, love all the ppl in it and their personalities so different not boring like some cookie box figures.
Have Hotch break down from lonliness and seek therapy and afterwards start dating the therapist whose brother is a killer! That would be a dilemma, who to believe and who is lying? I could write you many story lines as I feel I know the characters but great job with this episode.

I was so disappointed in the little bit of last nights show that I did see..I had to shut it off. To take Bible verses and put them into the mouth of a lunatic, is a slap in the faces of those who love God and the Bible. You would do well to remember that our civilized society was founded on God’s principles of individual significance and purpose,and Love toward each other…not evil.

Are new episodes still being filmed and aired?? I just discovered “Criminal Minds” 8-10 months ago but have seen nothing but reruns, no new episodes. I watch it on A&E channel, is it aired somewhere else? I love the show and all the characters/actors. I work in the Law Enforcement field so find this quite interesting!! But would love to see some new episodes
