Crew

[edit]

This list is missing the episodes writers and directors. Check out List of The Sopranos episodes for a template to follow.--Opark 77 (talk) 01:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start on this. You might have to bear with me for a while. --Naazupin (talk) 21:15, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Season 3 Descriptions

[edit]

Some of them are far too revealing and spoil the entire episode, perhaps some editing is required to correct this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.108.80 (talk) 11:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:SPOILER, there is no "correction" needed. momoricks (make my day) 02:09, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About "No Way Out"

[edit]

The description for the episode called "No Way Out" claims that said episode is based on the case of a real serial killer. However, it provides no source for its claim, and provides no information as to what real serial killer case it is based on, and, at the time of this writing, Frank Breitkopf's section in the List of characters in Criminal Minds makes no mention of Frank Breitkopf being based on the case of a real serial killer. So what is the justification for the "based on the case of a real serial killer"-claim if it neither provides a source, nor provides any specifics as to what real serial killer case it's based on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.243.192.134 (talk) 10:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Criminal Min.

[edit]

Separate articles would allow for more detailed descriptions.

I mean, CSI has their own episode pages. Why not this show...

I could easily write 10-20 lines on any one of these episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Csicsicsi (talk • contribs) 22:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While there is the possibility of having separate pages for each episode, that's a fairly intensive task. Perhaps we could consider expanding the episode descriptions on this page, or creating a separate page for each season and giving detailed episode descriptions there? Jhfortier (talk) 07:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the fist comment posted. CSI has it, so why not his? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.78.34.12 (talk) 23:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's not reason it can't, it's just a matter of finding an editor willing to put in that much time creating that many individual pages and filling them with detailed and sourced information. It's hardly worth creating the articles if they'll all be stuck as 'stub class' with no insufficient sources. An alternative could be to look at the articles for the seasons of Law and Order: SVU. The "list of eps" page for that show merely has episode number and airdate, but each season has a large table with a 4-5 sentence summary of the episode. That might be a more reasonable course of action.
If you'd like to create individual pages for each episode though, best of luck with it! It would be an ambitious undertaking.Jhfortier (talk) 22:54, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Complete Reformat

[edit]

User:Matthew R Dunn has undertaken the huge task of re-tooling this page. There are now individual pages for each season, allowing expanded episode summaries without creating a cumbersome master list. This page (List of Criminal Minds episodes) can now serve as a quick reference for people, and they can look into individual episodes via the appropriate season page. This is similar to the page List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episodes, List of Lost episodes, List of House episodes, and List of 24 episodes among others, and seems to work well. Jhfortier (talk) 20:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page was great the way it was. Whoever changed it is an idiot and wasted a lot of time. The last page had more information and was a lot easier to scroll through and look for episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.33.162.210 (talk) 23:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If your referring to no plots on the episodes as "last page had more information", then that's why they're in season articles. Beside, the last version had no directors/writers/ratings. I don't see any reason why this is so bad. Besides, like Jhfortier said, there are several TV shows out there who use the same format. FYI, calling me an "idiot" may be construed as a personal attack, as I'm certainly not. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 23:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the page was great the way it was (though not the name calling). With out the short summaries of episodes, it is very difficult to figure out which episode you want to reference with out clicking through. While I applaud the creation of individual episode pages, I wonder if the short one to two sentence summaries could be re-added for ease of use if nothing else. --Medalline (talk) 22:05, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Calling Criminal Minds (season 1) List of Criminal Minds episodes (season 1)

[edit]

I don't think it is appropriate to do that. No other television season article I've been to has a name like that. That's why I reverted it. It must be done soon! Hotel5550 (talk) 02:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Template:Episode list#Sublists. The articles are just lists, not articles. The format was used in this case, as well as List of Lassie episodes (season 1), for instance, which was an example to the template. Also, List of Numb3rs episodes follows the same format. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 03:24, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that different television shows use slightly different naming conventions for these articles. Hotel15550, perhaps a discussion on the talk page might have been better than just changing the naming convention of the articles when the consensus is far from clear. I agree with Matthew R Dunn in this instance, since these are more list-like than anything else. They don't contain prose summaries of the season as a whole, they're a list of episodes with brief synopses. Just my two cents' worth. Jhfortier (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He had eaten his foetus twin in utero

[edit]

Was there an episode where the lead character was a teenage boy looking very much like Frankie Muniz was motivated in his criminal behavior by having been told by his mother that as a yet unborn child he had literally eaten the foetus of his twin? __meco (talk) 14:55, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure I've seen this on TV somewhere, and it sounds like the "Criminal Minds" sort of thing. I still watch re-runs, so if I come across it, I'll post it here. GcT (talk) 01:44, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that. I'll retain this page on my watchlist. __meco (talk) 07:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I know it's not really appropiate for a Wikipedia Talk page, but the episode you are looking for is "Safe Haven" from the sixth season. Allied45 (talk) 09:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Series Overview

[edit]

Something is wrong with the series overview. Season 10 and 11 are in the wrong spot and I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please help? Thanks.Njorent (talk) 02:39, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Season 15

[edit]

How come an article for the fifteenth season of Criminal Minds doesn't exist? --Daniel Jackson 2001 (talk) 21:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Season 11 episode 2

[edit]

The BAU heads to Los Angeles, California, where a sarin attack on a CityLink bus has left all ten inside the bus dead. A homemade timing device found on the bus was what was used to release the sarin without the unsub needing to be on the bus. The team looks into any chemists who may have had access to sarin stockpiles and had a grudge of some sort as a possible suspect. But a man named Charlie Senerak jumps to the top of the suspect list when surveillance footage shows that Charlie was sitting in his car in a park and ride lot where the bus originated, and that he and his wife Tracy, with who he works, usually take that bus, but neither who were on it this day. In questioning Charlie, Rossi and Lewis don't believe Charlie to be the unsub, but they do know that he is hiding something major that he did not want to divulge to them, meaning that that something could be related to the attack. As further evidence piles up on Charlie, the team, if they discover the truth, will find that Charlie is indeed involved peripherally, the unsub who is blackmailing Charlie to carry out a deadlier attack, with the questions being what that blackmail issue is, why the unsub chose Charlie, and how the unsub is able to manipulate Charlie at every step along the way. 2604:2D80:4D09:CF00:A188:835F:5281:ED20 (talk) 03:26, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
