FBI

Claire in The Following

The Following Episode 13: “Havenport”

By Katee Robert

April 16, 2013

I love, love, LOVE this episode. There were nail-biting moments, combinations of characters I adore, and Claire actually surprised me! Winning all around. I’m not even sure where to start. Let’s go with Emma. It was fantastic seeing a tiny bit of steel in her when she talked to Carroll after things had started unraveling.…

Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham in Hannibal

Hannibal Episode 1.02: “Amuse-Bouche”

By Amber Keller

April 12, 2013

“Amuse-Bouche” is a shocking and grotesque episode that introduces another serial killer, Mr. Eldon Stammets, who just happens to have a disturbing affinity for fungi. Because Graham took out serial killer Hobbs in the last episode, as this one begins he’s regarded as a bit of a hero. He is given the all clear to…

The Following: Debra with a gun

The Following Episode 12: “The Curse”

By Katee Robert

April 9, 2013

By now you all know that I’ve more or less written this show off. The last few episodes have been MEH at best, which is incredibly sad to me because I was SO excited about the first few. That said, I truly enjoyed this week’s episode.

Our First Taste of NBC’s Hannibal

By Crime HQ

April 2, 2013

At CrimeHQ, we got an early chance to see the premiere of the new crime series Hannibal, premiering Thursday, April 4. The series is positioned as a prequel, set much earlier than when we joined retired FBI profiler Will Graham and the already-imprisoned Dr. Lecter in the movie Manhunter, which was based on Thomas Harris’s…

Kevin Bacon as Ryan Hardy in The Following

The Following Episode 10: “Guilt”

By Katee Robert

March 27, 2013

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this episode—in part because last one was SO good, and this one left me dissatisfied in a lot of ways. So let’s hit the stuff that made me cranky, and then we’ll circle back to the few good things that keep me hanging on. CLAIRE. Oh my…

Criminal Minds

Criminal Profiling and the Art of Fictioning the Facts

By Jamie Mason

March 16, 2013

As far as I can tell, most stories are crime stories. Sure, there are some romances where nothing but hearts are stolen, and you can get a good way through the picture book section of the library before somebody does something bad, but crime as the catalyst for an interesting tale is the shortest distance…

James Purefoy as Joe Carroll

The Following Episode 8: “Welcome Home”

By Katee Robert

March 12, 2013

This episode once again left me with mixed feelings. There were things I LOVE LOVE LOVEd, and there were things I was less than impressed with. First things first – Jury is still out as far as the new FBI director guy is concerned. He comes across like someone with something to prove, which kind…

Rage Against the Dying  by Becky Masterman is a debut thriller featuring a former FBI agent who has retired to Arizona, but hasn’t been able to leave her job behind (available March 12, 2013). Brigid Quinn is a tough-talking former FBI agent, forced into retirement after fatally shooting an unarmed perp. She’s haunted still by…

The Following Episode 6: “The Fall”

By Katee Robert

February 26, 2013

I’ve spent the last eight-odd hours trying to compose myself so I can write something other than SQUEEEEEE! about this show. I’ve seen a couple of people say that this episode jumped the shark and was completely unbelievable. While they’re entitled to their opinion, I completely disagree. We knew going into this show that there…

John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, Law & Disorder
