A thousand sails are over

Because I finished writing the new article, I had a lot of time in the evening, and when I was bored, I began to read "Criminal Minds". At first glance, I was attracted. I fought menstrually and watched all the content of the 7 seasons at once. Of course, there were many episodes in the middle that I pulled over and stared impatiently.

Watching this drama is entirely to see how the Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU) analyzes the motives of the criminal suspects. All the bloody scenes are skipped. In this way, I am still frightened, and my nerves seem to be tempered by this drama. It's twice as big, what kind of strange case is looked at, without blinking an eye, with a mouse click, a thousand sails are over.

After watching the 10th episode of the 7th episode, for the aftertaste, I turned to the first episode of the first season and watched it again. This time, I watched how the screenwriter introduced the protagonist to the audience. First, Hotch appeared and was called away by the phone; then the camera switched to Gideon giving a lecture at the university. Dr. Reid came to him and told Gideon the case together with Hotch. Back at the headquarters, Morgan played, and the four people sat on the plane and set off. Four main characters are here.

In this episode, Elle joined halfway through and played a role in luring the suspect out of the house, but in fact she is also the FBI, and has been in the group since then, and there is no account of how she got to the city. There is also a soul character in the group, Garcia, who only appeared for a few seconds, and is not as good at operating the computer as he was later. In this episode, in order to find the suspect's computer password, Garcia just made a soy sauce. It was Morgan who was flying his fingers, and Reid used his brain. . And the beautiful JJ didn't even show up.

At this time, his head was still Gideon, Hotch's eye bags weren't so obvious, Reid was still sitting in a chair and playing in circles, Morgan's hair was still half an inch, and Garcia's clothes weren't so fancy. For seven seasons and seven years, it's very interesting to see how the writing team shuffles, reassembles, dismantles and returns to a group.

At the end of the second season, Gideon left and Rossi joined; Elle left and Emily joined; JJ left and Seaver joined. The replacement of the three pairs of personnel is obviously an attempt by the producers to determine whether the characters and characters are enough to attract the audience. Some are successful, Rossi stayed; some failed, JJ returned again, and Emily died and resurrected, then The hesitation at the top can be seen.

Fortunately, the core characters Hotch, Morgan, Reid, and Garcia are always there, and the overall sense of the team has not changed. Just imagine how this team would work without Hotch's poker face and coolness, Morgan's beauty and quick action, Reid's boyish and eloquent, Garcia's fancy dress and super-searching skills. Without any of them, you will feel cocked.

From the beginning of JJ's sudden presence, to the increased role in the mid-term, to the later replacement, and then to the later return, this is actually a thinking in formation. Any good play is a textbook.
