Close the book on 2019 with the final Deliver The Profile of the year! On this eve of New Year's Ronnie and Jazz discuss a pivotal Season 14 episode, "Chameleon"! The unsub of the episode, The Chameleon, is promised to play a pivotal role in Criminal Minds' final season (starting January 8th), so this is one podcast you don't wanna miss. Unlike you're one of those normal people who doesn't care about what happens in the lives of fictional FBI profilers. Well, let this sweeten the deal: this unsub, he steals people's FACES. Why this wasn't titled "Face/Off" is a mystery.
Not a dream! Not a hallucination! Not an imaginary story! Reid goes to prison at the behest of being charged with murdering what looks to be a Mexican citizen and having a huge cache of drugs in his truck. Can the BAU bail him out and get him on a plane back to the States? Considering this is the start of a storyline, the chances of everything going right are very little. The point is to enjoy the non-sequential journey of Deliver The Profile's look at the 10 part Reid in prison storyline. There'll be plenty of rape jokes, don't you worry.
It's a Tara Lewis episode. A Tara Lewis episode about her dealing with her ex-husband. No, don't, please stick around. "Broken Wing" may be a total snore, but Ronnie and Jazz still have a few good bits. That's all you can ask for, right?
Note: this Criminal Minds makes no use of King Crimson, why is it titled that? Well, in the SEASON 12 premiere the gang is hunting the Crimson King, freed from a coordinated serial killer jailbreak. Yeah, wait until we cover that episode to hear us bitch about that ridiculous plot twist.
The episode serves as the introduction to Luke Alvez, so Ronnie and Jazz have a lot of little to say of CM's newest hunk. Also in the show: gas masks! People are gassed into thinking they're other people. Personality switching! Silly voices! "The Crimson King" has it all, except for the aforementioned King Crimson.
Deliver The Profile reaches the penultimate frontier: Season 14. What is this strange season and what does it contain? Why are the hosts doing this? Well, "Flesh and Blood" has a connection to an episode the podcast covered a few shows ago, which will become evident as you listen. (Hint: You'll be good if you check out Episode 143: Milwaukee prior to this.) What is less evident is what the point of all this is. Ronnie and Jazz create some hashtags you'll do well to amplify.
