"""Without its focus on serial killers,
Criminal Minds would have little to recommend it above other
crime shows. The cast has great chemistry and an interesting
selection of personalities; for me the
episodes highlighting the Dr. Reid
character stand out as some of the best. But what really makes or breaks a
show like
Criminal Minds is their multi-part
episodes. To its credit, the fourth
season of
Criminal Minds features two dual part
storylines. Oddly enough one of the two-parters arrives rather quickly on in the
season (only 6
episodes in), but it really helps the
season gain momentum. The second dual-part
storyline is the
season finale - which is fantastic television. The
show has some spectacular profiles driving its
episodes.
Another interesting caveat in the
series' credit is its guest roles. The best of the
season easily being a really rare and unexpected dramatic turn by Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) where all of the high-pitched neurotic
screaming he usually displays in all his
roles goes on hold in favor of a more measured and eerie mind game
persona. If the guest star pattern of
Criminal Minds has any drawback it would be the inconsistencies. In one
episode (""""Demonology""""), Bruce Davison (Senator Kelly from X-Men), James Remar (Harry Morgan from
Dexter), Walton Goggins (Shane from
The Shield) and Carmen Argenziano (
House's copy Henry Dobson from
House M.D.) all make rather front and center appearances in
the show. Coming off a few
episodes of rare guest spots, it was odd to see all four lumped into one. Perhaps it was the
episode's strongly Catholic subject matter, or just serendipity. Whatever the case the
season has some great cameos, even if they're oddly spread out. """
