Now this post: On my other blog, I've been doing all kinds of TAG posts on my fashionblog, and since I really like making and doing them, I made a Criminal Minds TAG. It's about the episodes, my favorite, the creepiest, the funniest, and so on. There are 17 "questions" and I will support them with screenshots (some are not high quality). The post might contain spoilers if you haven't seen all the episodes, but I tried to prevent it as much as possible.
********************************* THIS POST COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS AND SCARY IMAGES **************************************************
1. Favorite episode all time
Episode 6x16 ‘Coda’.
This is probably the first episode of criminal minds I have seen, and it has stuck with me forever. It is such a cute episode and I can relate to it a lot. I have (mild) autism, and although it wasn’t diagnosed when I saw this episode, I recognized quite a few things.
2. Most creepy/scary episode
Episode 8x10 ‘The Lesson’ or 9x20 ‘Blood Relations’.
The first time I watched ‘The Lesson’, was a Monday night in a dark room all alone, which isn’t the best way to watch a scary episode. I can handle quite a few things when it comes to crime series (blood, violence, eye balls being eaten, body parts missing, that kind of scary things), but a.o. I can’t handle body parts being ripped out of their joints while the person is still alive. ‘Blood Relations’ also freaked me out. The UnSub just scared the crap out of me.
3. Most exciting episode
Episode 9x14 ‘200’.
I was thrilled to watch this episode, I was so excited. OMG Emily would come back and we got to see the truth behind the JJ/Cruz thing and Henry and OMG!
4. Most funny episode
Episode 7x04 ‘Painless’.
I just love the prank war Spencer and Derek are having throughout the episode. “We interrupt your regularly scheduled musical selection with an important announcement. Never wage your practical joke war against an MIT graduate, because we have a history of going nuclear. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the dulcet sound of me, screaming in your ear. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” I did this from memory, that’s how much I’ve watched this episode…
5. Cutest episode
Episode 4x07 ‘Memoriam (Part II)’ or 8x20 ‘Alchemy’.
I think both these episodes are really cute, especially the endings. In ‘Memoriam’ Spencer become the godfather of Henry and OMG HE IS SO CUTE WITH KIDS. And in the end of ‘Alchemy’ REID AND MAEVE DANCE!!!
6. Weirdest episode
Episode 9x01/9x02 ‘The Inspiration (Part I)’ / ‘The Inspired (Part II)’
When I was watching these, all I was thinking was: WTF?! With the praying mantis and forcing people to eat human flesh, and then later with the twins and it was just very weird, I didn’t quite understand it.
7. Episode you never want to see again
Episode 2x15 ‘Revelations (Part II)’
I don’t think I can handle it mentally if I’d watch this episode again. I’ve only seen it once, and I was crying at one point and then my father came in: “Do you want pizza?” and then I broke down mentally D:
8. Saddest episode
Episode 8x12 ‘Zugzwang’.
This was the second episode ever I cried with. My parents were like: “It’s not real.”, but THE FEELINGS ARE REAL. I was mentally incapable of watching it and doing anything after that ):
9. Top 3 episodes of season 1
1. Episode 1x18 ‘Somebody’s Watching’.
2. Episode 1x09 ‘Derailed’.
3. Episode 1x01 ‘Extreme Aggressor’.
First I have ‘Somebody’s Watching’. I really like that episode and Reid GETS HIS FIRST KISS OMGG! Secondly I have ‘Derailed’, when Reid does his magic trick to save Elle at the train. And he just looks so cute in season 1. Last I have ‘Extreme Aggressor’, which I like because it’s the first episode. I find it cute how you see them first and how they interact with each other in the beginning.
10. Top 3 episodes of season 2
1. Episode 2x11 ‘Sex, Birth, Death’.
2. Episode 2x01 ‘The Fisher King (Part II)’.
3. Episode 2x08 ‘Empty Planet’.
Season 2 isn’t really my season, so it was harder to choose my favorites. In the end I choose ‘Sex, Birth, Death’ because it had cute Reid moments in it, ‘The Fisher King (Part II)’ because the episode has an awesome story and Reid’s butt is on fire (hihihihi) and ‘Empty Planet’ because it has some funny Reid quotes.
11. Top 3 episodes of season 3
1. Episode 3x16 ‘Elephant’s Memory’.
2. Episode 3x14 ‘Damaged’.
3. Episode 3x03 ‘Scared to Death’.
I choose ‘Elephant’s Memory’ first because I can relate to the story and how Reid reacts. On place two is ‘Damaged’ because it’s one of the episodes I can still remember well, and on the third place is ‘Scared to Death’ because the Moreid elevator scene (and because the storyline was good).
12. Top 3 episodes of season 4
1. Episode 4x09 ’52 Pickup’.
2. Episode 4x08 ‘Masterpiece’.
3. Episode 4x22 ‘The Big Wheel’.
Season 4 is one of my favorite seasons, so it was hard to choose just three, but this is my top 3: on the first place is ’52 Pickup’. I really liked the episode, not just because Reid learns how to flirt but also because the story was awesome. On place two is ‘Masterpiece’, because of the science aspect, the jokes, and Reid is being awesome. On the third place is ‘The Big Wheel’, because Alex O’Loughlin (from Hawaii 5-o) is the UnSub and is awesome.
13. Top 3 episodes of season 5
1. Episode 5x12 ‘The Uncanny Valley’.
2. Episode 5x22 ‘The Internet Is Forever’.
3. Episode 5x13 ‘Risky Business’.
I didn’t really have a favorite episode in season 5, so I choose ‘The Uncanny Valley’ because I liked the story with the dolls. On the second place is ‘The Internet Is Forever’ because Reid’s boyband haircut (and the story) and on the third place is ‘Risky Business’ because I like the concept of the story.
14. Top 3 episodes of season 6
1. Episode 6x16 ‘Coda’.
2. Episode 6x05 ‘Safe Haven’.
3. Episode 6x06 ‘Devil’s Night’.
Season 6 is (together with season 4) one of my favorite seasons. On the first place is off course ‘Coda’ because it is my all time favorite. On the second place is ‘Safe Haven’ because I like Sterling Beaumon and although he is the killer, he looks good. On the third place is ‘Devil’s Night’ because Halloween episodes are awesome.
15. Top 3 episodes of season 7
1. Episode 7x04 ‘Painless’.
2. Episode 7x11 ‘True Genius’.
3. Episode 7x24 ‘Run (Part II)’.
I think season 7 was a more funny season than the other seasons. On the first place I have ‘Painless’. I think it’s a really good episode, and I’ve watched it quite a lot. I even watched it in French to practice for a French listening test. On the second place is ‘True Genius’ because in my opinion it is a cute episode. ‘Run (Part II)’ is on place three, because it is an awesome episode with a lot of action.
16. Top 3 episodes of season 8
1. Episode 8x06 ‘The Apprenticeship’.
2. Episode 8x20 ‘Alchemy’.
3. Episode 8x08 ‘The Wheels On The Bus’.
I really liked season 8, I was so excited for it. My favorite episode of season 8 is ‘The Apprenticeship’, especially the beginning and ending with Reid playing baseball which is so cute. A close second is ‘Alchemy’, how Reid behaves in that episode is so cute and then the ending OMGG!! The third favorite episode is ‘The Wheels On The Bus’. In my opinion it is just a weird (in a good way), very cool episode.

17. Top 3 episodes of season 9 (so far)
1. Episode 9x07 ‘Gatekeeper’.
2. Episode 9x18 ‘Rabid’.
3. Episode 9x12 ‘The Black Queen’.
Season 9 isn’t done yet, so this is so far (until episode 9x21). My favorite is ‘Gatekeeper’, which Matthew directed and he did a very good job. I really liked the ending, when he helped the woman to give birth to her baby and then HE HOLDS THE BABY WHICH IS SO CUTE! My second favorite is ‘Rabid’, and this is because of the storyline, Reid and Garcia training for the fitness test (and with Morgan later on), and when Morgan and Reid try to catch the UnSub (which I’m gonna explain better in my review of the episodes). Third favorite is ‘The Black Queen’, favorite Morcia episode ever (I explained this in a review).

This was it for now. I have vacation and I'm planning on posting more.
I hope you liked it :D
