For Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, it's sex crimes. For CSI, it's solving crimes with magic. For Psych, it's TV and film references. For Bones, it's.. Well, bones. The offenders who on other shows would merit a special event or multi- parter — serial killers who taunt the cops, school shooters, child abductors — are just this week's .

It's strongly implied in an early episode (and subsequently repeatedly hinted at) that Hotch's father abused him and that that's one of the reasons why he pursued a career in law enforcement. Acceptable Breaks from Reality: In real life, the BAU rarely leaves Quantico, and the FBI has a forced retirement age well bellow Rossi's. Accidental Aiming Skills: Invoked in . Except that Reid was lying just a few feet away from the Un. Sub at the time, and it had been previously established that anything less than a headshot would probably result in the deaths of half the people in the room. Reid was making his first joke of the series, and fittingly, it was a morbid and obscure one. The joke is also a call back to the opening of the episode when Reid was practicing with Hotch for the not- yet- failed test and aims for the target's head but hits the groin. Potentially a Shout- Out as well, since Reid is a sci- fi fan. Criminal Minds began three years after Firefly first aired.

Taken Up to Eleven in . Mosley Lane has the children abducted in plain sight while their parents are helping a woman who lost her child, although it is just a ruse. One child lived with the abductees for eight years, being threatened into silence. CPS even visited the family and never caught on. Adults Are Useless: A number of Un. Subs have the Freudian Excuse of being subjected to horrifying abuse or bullying as kids/teenagers that the authorities were well aware of and did nothing about. One of the most violent Un. Subs was a former bullied teen who spent years learning MMA and bodybuilding to take revenge on the bullies who tormented him and his only friend, which led to his friend committing suicide. He beat them all to death with his bare hands, but he reserved his worst beating for the principal, who never punished the bullies any further than making them give a blatantly insincere apology and shake the victim's hand every single time: ? Did you actually think that would work?! When Reid reviews his life, he is truly enraged at all the opportunities the authorities had to intervene and probably prevent Owen's spree but chose not to, under the assumption that bullying is part of growing up: Detective: Look, boys have ways of taking care of these things. Reid: Yes, and now Owen is out there taking care of things with an assault rifle! Adventures In Coma Land: Has happened a handful of times. After Elle is shot by the Serial Killer of the week she is left unconscious and bleeding to death.

Aesop Amnesia: No matter how many times they encounter one, the team is almost always shocked to discover that the Un. Sub is a woman and exposit to each other about how rare it is for a Serial Killer to be female. Affectionate Nickname: Morgan and Garcia have dozens of these for each other. JJ is also the only person (in the world, apparently), who calls Reid . Usually bundled with Despair Event Horizon to evoke Sympathy for the Devil. Case in point: the unsub from . Reid doesn't get it. At the end of episode, Reid is talking to JJ, Prentiss, and Garcia about it. JJ comments that even 1. Prentiss says that reminds her.. She needs new boots. Alone with the Psycho: Numerous times. This is a show about serial killers after all. Hotchner, at the end of Season 4 and beginning of Season 5. However, Hotchner, stabbed multiple times, is not rescued by his teammates, but rather by the Serial Killer (called the Reaper) who ambushed him. The Reaper even takes Hotchner to the hospital to make sure that Hotchner survives to suffer more. Reid and JJ at the end of . Sci- fi author and postmodern literature professor Ursula Kent in . Spicer ( and, after Spicer is killed, just Morgan) in . But if there were actually that many serial killers out there, no one would ever leave their houses. This may be Truth in Television — the FBI estimates that at any given time, there are somewhere between 2. United States. Rough calculations suggest they may have either dealt with half of the active serial killers in the US, or considerably less than that depending on how you think the statistics work (i. Also, most of the murderers they run into are actually spree killers, not serial killers The team also deals with child abductions, serial rapists, terrorists, and spree killers, none of which are included in the FBI's estimates. Only about half of any given season's cases are actual serial killers. The seriously unrealistic element here is that one team would work all of those types of cases; in reality, the BAU has separate units to deal with separate kinds of specialized crime. Other divisions specializing in things like the Mob and child exploitation have shown up occasionally. JJ once said that the BAU picks cases where they believe lives are at stake. In another episode, it was expressed that the BAU gets sent the . The Cop of the Week even lampshades how much of an Ear Worm it is, and invokes some horror when she says anyone who kills cops should have to hear . In place of its usual end- of- episode quote, . While all of this is going on, the victims are still alive and can hear, see and presumably feel everything—including the wigs being sewn into their scalps, and the slow deterioration of their bodies under the influence of the drugs. There's also what Frank did to his victims: injecting them with a drug that left them completely paralyzed, but fully conscious, as he very slowly vivisected them. With mirrors in the ceiling. And the Pittsburgh suicides that weren't suicides. The Un. Sub from . Holy shit, the idea of being immobilized, feeling the torture someone's putting you through, getting acid dripped on various parts of you, and having it all videotaped with a running childlike commentary. The victims from . Seasons 1. 1 and 1. Mr. Scratch become this for the entire team. Arc Villain: Certain antagonists (the Reaper, Ian Doyle, the Replicator, the . When the team ask Garc. However, Christmas disease is extremely rare in females, as in, females can carry the disease but it is very rare that they suffer from it. And yet it turns out that at least 2. San Francisco's B- hemophiliac population are women? Unless they are trans women, the odds for that are so close to 0 that Dr. Reid wouldn't even bother to calculate them. Artistic License . It's about a 9. 0 minute drive. If you drove a vehicle with a police escort, above the speed limit, and disregarded most stoplights, you could probably make it in an hour. And Quantico is apparently right in DC or the immediate surrounding area, as in the episode . In reality, Quantico is over an hour away, separated by two highways. Artistic License . Possibly justified since the teacher is a manipulative, Ax- Crazysociopath trying to control a not- very- smart teenage boy, and of course she doesn't have to know a lot about history or English literature anyway.
