Hell yes. It's what I love so much about the scene. Suppressed rage from such an otherwise gentle and compassionate person really communicates much more the horrorifying actions of the disgusting piece of shit Reid is threatening, than if Reid flew at him and beat him to a pulp the way most people would want to do.
@@kurtsnyder4752 I think I liked Johnathan Frakes better in this episode than in SSTNG. I think, because it wasn't his normal gig, he pulled out a bit more acting.
@@MaSeshield I am currently rewatching criminal minds and purposely skipped Riding the Lightning because I remembered how sad it was. I really wasn't in the mood for such a depressing episode.
The fact that he looked at Rossi for help and Rossi gave him the look of, "He's being nicer to you than I ever would or will be." Like- it cracks me up everytime.
I would have loved to have Derrick in Rossi’s place just to see the look of death from him after everything he went through. However, through they wouldn’t have shown it, Derrick could walk him out saying “Baby Boy, well played!”
Reid’s voice was soft with a small quiver of rage, building and building with confidence with no fear as he maintained. Then he uses “doctor” as a grade A insult, cementing his own intelligence and confirming he was right. It’s one of my favorite scenes.
i know this comment is a year old but your description of the scene sounded straight out of a book!! if you're still on this account and you see this, are you a writer, and if so, do you have any advice? I'd love to be able to write that way.
Reid has an eidetic memory...which means he can perfectly recall every single case like the father's he's dealt with. So seeing one free after hurting so many...I'm amazed Reid didn't just attack him.
@@TimedRevolver That's precisely what makes Reid's message so much more powerful in this scene. Suppressed rage and such good self-control in the face of something where most people would not be able to stay in control of their emotions while confronting is so much more powerful and terrifying, and conveys so much more just how horrifying and disgusting this man's actions were, than if Reid flew at him and beat him to a pulp.
He stops after the word, like if he doesn't take a deep breath before continuing he's going to slam the fucker's head into the desk until it looks like a mashed potato. You can't see his hands in the frame but I'd bet he's clenching them
Dude is looking at Rossi for help ...... Rossi is like: he's reading your life. I ain't helping you. **edit** over 4K likes in less than 2 years ..... thanks 💪🏾
Reid has a beautiful sensitivity to people with emotional or mental health issues because of his mom's condition. It just adds another layer of brilliance to the character and kudos to MGG for portraying him
I LOVED how Reid voice was soft for not the father and the daughter but had different meaning. The way he spoke to the father however soft held disgust, and a dare like he was dearing the father to deny what he was saying. Then he talk to the daughter in the same soft voice but this had compassion, understanding, and gentleness.
I think they do this on purpose, to prove that right and wrong aren’t so black and white as we hope they are. That sometimes it really comes down just to the fact that they are a little screwed up because of someone and that they need compassion as much as the victims.
@@alib3208 Actually, she did not murder them. I am not sure about English law, but in my country, it would be a murder if she WANTED/INTENDED to kill them. I don't know the proper English legal term, but what she did was unintentional killing (the girls died because their mind and body couldn't (understandably) cope the situation any longer).
Janusniq _ Killing Um who cares? They’re still dead, and their loved ones will never see them again, so I don’t really give a fuck about distinctions lol. Yes this is only a tv show, however it’s inspired by real crimes committed by real people and they draw from real cases throughout history. Everyday someone loses a loved one to being killed and murdered. This crazy bitch having a mental disorder really doesn’t change that she took someone’s life.

That trauma is what made the unsub do this that trauma cause a pyscologial break in her mind which was the cause of her committing these crimes.

This is why Doctor Spencer Reid is my favorite agent of the BAU. He was the outcast all of his life because of his impeccable academic brain, but fits so well with his BAU family. He is the perfect blend of sarcasm, quirk, wit, and smarts. Matthew Gray Gubler plays him so well. It's sad that it's coming to an end.
There a reason Reid can be an awsome superhero.Reid act like the Flash from Justice League when the Flash just talk to the Trickster so clamly and kindly ask him about his mental problem and surrender after his last beer... Random police: where did you find this kid? Rossi:he was left in the basket infront of the doorstep of the FBI....
Late but Oh I'm so happy that someone else saw the slight resemblance between him and and Barry allen they're both been thro alot and still deep down the good hearted hopeful people they are . Their intelligence and how they deal with everything too.
Anytime I watch this episode I think of the fact that the girl will not be able to be sent to prison because her father screwed her up so many times all because he wanted to keep her quiet and that she'll have to go to a mental hospital because she doesn't realize what she is doing is so wrong. But I also believe that the dad should be sent to prison and the keys thrown away because of what he did to his daughter and all those other girls. Thanks for all the likes.
In some states parents can be charged for crimes that they can be reasonably considered to have caused their children to have committed. Don’t remember where this episode took place but 🤷♀️
This was the first episode I ever watched. I caught the last 10 minutes saw Reid being the beautiful person he is, then watched it all from the beginning on the plus 1 channel. It was Reid in this scene that made me want to watch the other episodes. It's my absolute favourite episode and the reason I love criminal minds. 😊😊😊
It's my favourite episode too!! :) I watch every episode with the hope of seeing Reid either get to be beautifully compassionate and beyond-too-pure-for-this-world like with that school shooter and this woman, or this terrifying but focused force of nature battling the real monsters, like with this woman's father. And in this episode, I got to see both!!!! (Also the concept was fascinating; my fav episodes are always the ones with the most interesting/unique MOs and signatures).
It wasn't Reid who made me what to wach it for from the frist season and frist episode though was neat but it was Reid who made me what to continue to wach it.
I think the actress that played the grown up daughter is the same one who played the obsessed woman who shot Booth in "Bones". She's got unstable characters down!
Season 5 Reid is one of my favorite versions of him. From the hair, to his confidence, and strength. We really see how much he’s grown from the beginning of the series.
This is one of my top 5 favorite scenes on this show ! This episode was so heartbreaking 'cause the real monster, guilty of what's happening is her father ! You can't help but feel so hurt for this woman ! The cast was amazing and there's no better than Spencer Reid !
I felt so bad for the unsub here. Her father messed her up, and as a result of his bad choices she never grew up mentally, the state of mind of a child in a grown woman's body. She didn't realize what she did was wrong, and most likely never will. If her father had kept his hands to himself, she would have more than likely grown up to be a fine woman and join society.
Agreed. Her actions aren't that excusable, but to be honest she is genuinely one of the few unsubs in the entire show that I genuinely can't even be angry at her for her actions. Upset yes, but not angry or even hate her. Just feel bad and worried for her and what she went through.
Yeah I mean even her reaction to the dolls was so obvious cause when Reid is talking about the other girls reactions he’s saying they’ll break down just looking at those things, whereas his daughter has literally been traumatized so much that like she’s anthropomorphized the dolls to be her only friends to the point where when they’re taken away she can use real people and in her mind they make sense as surrogates
This video shows both sides of Dr. Spencer Reid, his anger with the evil people and then his sweetness self with the victims of those evil men. He threat Samantha with so much kindness it warms my heart.
He knows the difference between a suspect who knows what they are doing is wrong and those who don’t realize what they are doing to the extent where they know it’s wrong and hurting others. That is why he treats her with kindness so she doesn’t get scared or feel like she is back with her dad and why he treats the dad like the horrible person he is and shows no respect but keeps pose as a way to show that Reid himself is in control of the situation
I love this hair on Reid, its one of my favorite styles. Also, I love that scene with the doctor it reminds me all the time that Reid is an amazing profiler and Matthew Gray Gubler is a fantastic actor in that scene.
I also think the women who played the unsub is an amazing actress, im pretty sure in the tv show bones, she played booths stalker and went to go shoot bones and booth jumped in the way
I love Reid, mainly because he's filled with empathy and he gets along and sympathised so well with mentally deficient unsubs. Hes so nice and understanding with them
You can see it in the Reid moves and talks that he’s trying extremely hard not to just deck the man and the be honest? I applaud him. A lot of people don’t have that kind of self control when it come to terrible people like *him
I love how this kind of episode shows both sides of Spencer's psyche- the bolted-up anger he rarely shows, and the compassion and care he can give to even the Unsubs themselves. Two sides of the same coin.
Reid is the perfect match for the unsubs with mental illnesses like hers, honestly. He can see what their mentality is and how crushed it's or what their illness has done to their mind and he can empathize and work with it in a different way from the rest of his team thanks to his experience with his mother. I bet that's why they so easily trust him, he knows how to treat them well.
This was the only one I felt sorry for on this show! She was so badly damaged from the abuse, that those dolls became her only family in the world! No wonder she went crazy! 😢
Shadowgaga91 ; The episode with Frankie Muniz was equally tragic. S3E10, I think. He was having psychotic breaks; in which he was killing the gangbangers that raped & murdered his fiancée, & nearly gutted him & left him for dead. Excellent episode, but very sad as well. Frankie played the part perfectly.
And the episode with the multiple personality disorder his other personality or alter ego would lure men in to rape and kill them because of what his stepfather did to him making him dress up as a girl doing things to him..he got to walk free Adam was his name my heart broke for him especially since the jackass responsible for his mentality got to walk free
I felt bad for that one mental pig farmer. It’s even worse when at the beginning I kept saying that I would not feel sorry for that guy who chopped of their heads. I did though.
I think she never really let go of the fact those dolls were her comfort. In her mind she is still that little girl with her dolls. I think Reid knew how to approach her, he approached her as you would a scared child.
This is why Reid's my favorite. He's the epitome of kindness and understanding, until he's not. So innocent that when he actually gets offended, he gets real offended.
This episode makes me incredibly sad. After the abuse and torture she suffered, at the hands of her paedophilic father, those dolls were her only lifeline or connection to the childhood she lost.
This actress is really good at play crazy people. She deserves some kind of an award. I hated her character in bones and i felt sad for her in criminal minds.
Loved how Reid took him down and we all know he really wanted to physically do it! This episode was soooo emotionally difficult, but it was a good one.
Criminal Minds in its run had hated unsubs, most hated unsubs, and then the handful of unsubs you felt bad for because they weren't psychopaths but just normal until either as children or adults somebody or something ruined their lives, and sometimes they didn't realize what they were doing.
I love this episode, and it’s a rare episode where I feel so sympathetic for the unsub. She doesn’t understand what she did, she didn’t want to hurt anyone. She went through so much, she absolutely deserves every bit of the compassion Reid gives her.
I loved this episode to. But i think she did understand what she did was wrong, she just didn't know of any other way to fill the gap left by the absense of the dolls. She couldn't help herself. I also believe that DR. Reid should destroy her father using the full power of the FBI! And that courts should have the power of forcing surgical castration on convicted child predators!
For anyone confused by the level of rage Reid is struggling with in that first scene, please look up Vicarious Trauma. And you might want to re-evaluate your empathy levels. You may be experiencing empathy burnout. Alternatively you could just be someone who struggles with empathy in general and always has. That's up to you to try to find out.
robbthewolfking Even then, what happened here is possible. A high percent of serial killers are abused from childhood. This is realistic, so I think it’s better to treat it as real life, as long as it doesn’t get to to big an extent, because it’s possible in real life
@@deborahwood7089The dolls are harmless as far as I can see, so I think that she will be able to keep them. It’s not like she’s going to tear them up and turn them into a weapon or hide something malicious in there. I think it’s not in her nature given how much she loves them. She just wanted her dolls back and she got that.
You see how happy when she sees the case of dolls. You can see that she is still a child inside. And it shows when she reacts to the dolls and how childlike she acts. And Reid is reading that man for Filth.
There’s so much I love about this episode and especially these scenes. Of course, how Reid was so badass. But did you also see how Rossi was closely watching the exchange, how he instantly caught on and joined in. The utter elation on Samantha’s face when she was about to see her friends when she thought they were gone forever. The bittersweet ending. And even that officer who was about to handcuff Samantha… maybe I’m reading too much into it but I think when Reid stopped him and he saw how he interacted with Samantha… his expression seemed to change into something thoughtful, with a realization that even the criminals who have done something horrific might not be bad people.
Thank you. Couldn't remember the name but it's my favourite episode. And considering how many episodes of Criminal Minds there now are, that's saying a lot.
Some of the episodes are absolutely amazing. They touch the human heart in way that few shows do. They also bring out the need to protect those who can't protect themselves.
Who else is watching this scene in 2023 because I am and I just realize how sad that girls life was. She didn’t want to hurt her victims. She just wanted them to be her friends like the dolls. It’s so sad.
The end of the episode it broke my heart the tone that Reid used with Samantha, the unsub, because she was as much of victim as the girls that she abducted, she never meant for them to die she just wanted to be happy again, and this made her happy. I’m not justifying what she did I’m really saying that she was also a victim
The judicial conundrum from this case would be enormous; can you hold someone responsible for something they do that is a verifiable result of a sustained and intense mental and/or physical trauma?
i know this is late but she would most likely plead not guilty by cause of insanity. she would be in a mental health hospital for the rest of her life but she would be a legally free woman. however that also is based on what deals her lawyer would make. she could get guilty of manslaughter or even murder and spend some time in an actual prison. but the jury and judge would take mercy on her if her lawyer tells her story.
Why do I have a feeling that this would be similar if any other BAU agent was there that knew Reid? Also! The fact that there are plenty of people on the BAU who have kids or (in Derek's case)Have been sexually assaulted by someone makes Reid's Rage so much more understandable...
I like how Spencer knows when to be a hardcore tear the bad guy apart and he also knows how to respect somebody that's gone through trauma he's not saying what that girl is doing is right nor is he condoning it but he is also saying that she is a victim as much as her victims and she should not be hurt in any way I wish police officers and FBI agents were more like Spencer Reid you know treat the bad guy as a actual person and not to somebody to get another shiny reward
Commander Riker????? You will NEVER COMMAND A STARSHIP AGAIN!!!! (Kudos to ALL the Excellent Actor's who made these scene's so Real! OUTSTANDING WORK, each & everyone of you!!!)

That is why he treats her with kindness so she doesn’t get scared or feel like she is back with her dad and why he treats the dad like the horrible person he is and shows no respect but keeps pose as a way to show that Reid himself is in control of the situation
I love this hair on Reid, its one of my favorite styles. Also, I love that scene with the doctor it reminds me all the time that Reid is an amazing profiler and Matthew Gray Gubler is a fantastic actor in that scene.
I also think the women who played the unsub is an amazing actress, im pretty sure in the tv show bones, she played booths stalker and went to go shoot bones and booth jumped in the way
Kristen Hodges I wish he had this hairstyle in every episode
I love Reid, mainly because he's filled with empathy and he gets along and sympathised so well with mentally deficient unsubs. Hes so nice and understanding with them
I love Reid in this episode. He’s so accurate holding the “father” accountable.
For those who wish to know. The first clip is from Season 5 Ep 12: The Uncanny Valley
Oh thank you so much! I
I love u
I'm on this episode now and I'm scared/excited
The kindness Reid shows here is so touching, I love his character :)
Probably the most disturbing episode I've seen of the show so far but Reid still touched me with his kindness at the end.
You can see it in the Reid moves and talks that he’s trying extremely hard not to just deck the man and the be honest? I applaud him. A lot of people don’t have that kind of self control when it come to terrible people like *him
Rossi is just watching like a proud father
I love how this kind of episode shows both sides of Spencer's psyche- the bolted-up anger he rarely shows, and the compassion and care he can give to even the Unsubs themselves. Two sides of the same coin.
Reid is the perfect match for the unsubs with mental illnesses like hers, honestly.
He can see what their mentality is and how crushed it's or what their illness has done to their mind and he can empathize and work with it in a different way from the rest of his team thanks to his experience with his mother. I bet that's why they so easily trust him, he knows how to treat them well.
This was the only one I felt sorry for on this show! She was so badly damaged from the abuse, that those dolls became her only family in the world! No wonder she went crazy! 😢
Shadowgaga91 ;
The episode with Frankie Muniz was equally tragic. S3E10, I think.
He was having psychotic breaks; in which he was killing the gangbangers that raped & murdered his fiancée, & nearly gutted him & left him for dead.
Excellent episode, but very sad as well. Frankie played the part perfectly.
And the episode with the multiple personality disorder his other personality or alter ego would lure men in to rape and kill them because of what his stepfather did to him making him dress up as a girl doing things to him..he got to walk free Adam was his name my heart broke for him especially since the jackass responsible for his mentality got to walk free
I felt bad for that one mental pig farmer. It’s even worse when at the beginning I kept saying that I would not feel sorry for that guy who chopped of their heads. I did though.
I also felt super sad for Megan Kane
Also the circus one where rossi solves that case of the family whose parents were killed
I think she never really let go of the fact those dolls were her comfort. In her mind she is still that little girl with her dolls. I think Reid knew how to approach her, he approached her as you would a scared child.
I cannot help but cry at this episode, and especially these scenes with Reid
Rebecca White which episode is this
Lilly Flicks It’s called “The Uncanny Valley”
These are the ones that get me, the cases where the person is genuinely broken mentally.
This is why Reid's my favorite. He's the epitome of kindness and understanding, until he's not. So innocent that when he actually gets offended, he gets real offended.
Riker is going to be pissed when looks at his family history.
Captain Picard: " Number one, I am VERY disappointed in you."
He doesn't deserve to wear that uniform.
Does a "number one".
This episode makes me incredibly sad. After the abuse and torture she suffered, at the hands of her paedophilic father, those dolls were her only lifeline or connection to the childhood she lost.
This actress is really good at play crazy people. She deserves some kind of an award. I hated her character in bones and i felt sad for her in criminal minds.
This poor woman... I genuinely shedded a tear.
I was literally ugly crying
Looks at Rossi for help Rossi is just watching Reid like you go my boy
Loved how Reid took him down and we all know he really wanted to physically do it! This episode was soooo emotionally difficult, but it was a good one.
Criminal Minds in its run had hated unsubs, most hated unsubs, and then the handful of unsubs you felt bad for because they weren't psychopaths but just normal until either as children or adults somebody or something ruined their lives, and sometimes they didn't realize what they were doing.
I love the empathy Spencer showed here.
Criminal Minds is the live-action response to Batman TAS. So much humanity in both the heroes and the villains...except some like Foyet and Turner.
Foyet killed Hotch's wife, right? Who was Turner?
I love reid and this episode omg
I love this episode, and it’s a rare episode where I feel so sympathetic for the unsub. She doesn’t understand what she did, she didn’t want to hurt anyone. She went through so much, she absolutely deserves every bit of the compassion Reid gives her.
I loved this episode to. But i think she did understand what she did was wrong, she just didn't know of any other way to fill the gap left by the absense of the dolls. She couldn't help herself. I also believe that DR. Reid should destroy her father using the full power of the FBI! And that courts should have the power of forcing surgical castration on convicted child predators!
Get it Spence yes I can hear the unexpressed fury in his voice
“This is why I love my job, DOCTOR” I LOVE WHEN HE SAYS THAT😭
Playing with the girls and dressing them like dolls helped her with her mother's grief.
For anyone confused by the level of rage Reid is struggling with in that first scene, please look up Vicarious Trauma.
And you might want to re-evaluate your empathy levels. You may be experiencing empathy burnout.
Alternatively you could just be someone who struggles with empathy in general and always has. That's up to you to try to find out.
Or we know its a show and we dont put to much stock in it.

Even then, what happened here is possible. A high percent of serial killers are abused from childhood. This is realistic, so I think it’s better to treat it as real life, as long as it doesn’t get to to big an extent, because it’s possible in real life
robbthewolfking how to test out your empathy?
I felt so so sorry for this woman. She was so very unwell. I hope she did get to keep her dolls wherever she ended up.
I like to think that she got to keep her dolls, or she was given replicas.
@@deborahwood7089The dolls are harmless as far as I can see, so I think that she will be able to keep them.
It’s not like she’s going to tear them up and turn them into a weapon or hide something malicious in there. I think it’s not in her nature given how much she loves them.
She just wanted her dolls back and she got that.
Reid is the only reason I watched this show.
You see how happy when she sees the case of dolls. You can see that she is still a child inside. And it shows when she reacts to the dolls and how childlike she acts. And Reid is reading that man for Filth.
The actress did such a. Great job. The fear of her dolls being taken away makes my heart break.
This scene was very heart warming it made me smile. I love how reid is so calm
There’s so much I love about this episode and especially these scenes. Of course, how Reid was so badass. But did you also see how Rossi was closely watching the exchange, how he instantly caught on and joined in. The utter elation on Samantha’s face when she was about to see her friends when she thought they were gone forever. The bittersweet ending. And even that officer who was about to handcuff Samantha… maybe I’m reading too much into it but I think when Reid stopped him and he saw how he interacted with Samantha… his expression seemed to change into something thoughtful, with a realization that even the criminals who have done something horrific might not be bad people.
Gideon would have been so proud of him
You cannot mess with Reid not when he's angry because he's showing his own true colours
For those of you who would like to know this episode is called The Uncanny Valley
Thank you. Couldn't remember the name but it's my favourite episode. And considering how many episodes of Criminal Minds there now are, that's saying a lot.
When Reid gets angry, even Will Riker knows to fear him.
I hated the character he played....sooo much! Legally forced surgical castration!
I love how even Rossi looks fucking pissed off at 0:35.
I teared up when he said "I promise no one will ever take them away again."
Some of the episodes are absolutely amazing. They touch the human heart in way that few shows do. They also bring out the need to protect those who can't protect themselves.
this episode makes me cry
Who else is watching this scene in 2023 because I am and I just realize how sad that girls life was. She didn’t want to hurt her victims. She just wanted them to be her friends like the dolls. It’s so sad.
That Spencer and Rossi tag team I love it
The end of the episode it broke my heart the tone that Reid used with Samantha, the unsub, because she was as much of victim as the girls that she abducted, she never meant for them to die she just wanted to be happy again, and this made her happy. I’m not justifying what she did I’m really saying that she was also a victim
Times like this is when Dr. Reid can be scary and a bada$$. "This is when I love my job, doctor .."
Oh my goodness reid is just so caring and precious and sweet I-
The judicial conundrum from this case would be enormous; can you hold someone responsible for something they do that is a verifiable result of a sustained and intense mental and/or physical trauma?
The answer SHOULD be no. But unfortunately our legal system is fucked.
i know this is late but she would most likely plead not guilty by cause of insanity. she would be in a mental health hospital for the rest of her life but she would be a legally free woman. however that also is based on what deals her lawyer would make. she could get guilty of manslaughter or even murder and spend some time in an actual prison. but the jury and judge would take mercy on her if her lawyer tells her story.
Did anyone else hear the air quotes when he said “Helped” when talking about the first girl
I definitely did hear the air quotes. I also heard "I'm about to F YOU UP for what you did to these little girls. "
*reads caption
me: first he’s sour...then he’s sweet
sour patch reid lol
I love how the guy was looking at Rossi for help and Rossi was looking at him like “I’m busy that week.”
Reid is so understanding with these types of unsubs. He understands them and I love it.
The rollercoaster of emotion shown is just amazing. If the same thing is shown by real agents... wow.
She was ruined by abuse. She'll never see the outside of an institution again. That makes me feel incredibly angry 💢💢😡😡
Why do I have a feeling that this would be similar if any other BAU agent was there that knew Reid?
Also! The fact that there are plenty of people on the BAU who have kids or (in Derek's case)Have been sexually assaulted by someone makes Reid's Rage so much more understandable...
this so much shows how simple things can mean to us, we are push and pulled this way and that but our wholeness can mean more than any amount..
I like how Spencer knows when to be a hardcore tear the bad guy apart and he also knows how to respect somebody that's gone through trauma he's not saying what that girl is doing is right nor is he condoning it but he is also saying that she is a victim as much as her victims and she should not be hurt in any way I wish police officers and FBI agents were more like Spencer Reid you know treat the bad guy as a actual person and not to somebody to get another shiny reward
Watching this made me cry, answered question about my childhood I didn’t even know I had I got chills
one of the best badass Reid moments
Commander Riker?????
You will NEVER COMMAND A STARSHIP AGAIN!!!!
(Kudos to ALL the Excellent Actor's who made these scene's so Real! OUTSTANDING WORK, each & everyone of you!!!)
Captain Riker, the only thing you will ever command after this is a moon shuttle.
Reid can go from ripping your throat out and then talk you down from killing someone in five seconds.
Reid is so sweet and really charming 🥰
He was calm in this episode
This was one of the most saddening episodes ever.
Sean what season?
Reid is the only reason I watched this show. Great actor
