This is the queasily compelling Criminal Minds ' version of "Save the cheerleader, save the world," and it drives each dark and disturbing episode. Before this pivotal season can really get down to cases, it must deal with some unfinished business. Mandy Patinkin, who announced he would be leaving the series, was given a graceful exit, but not before his character, ace FBI profiler Gideon begins to doubt his abilities and sanity in the aftermath of the murder of his girlfriend at the end of last season. Meanwhile, his protégé, Hotch (Thomas Gibson) is under pressure from Section Chief Erin Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) to resign the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), and Prentiss (Paget Brewster) submits her resignation rather than get dirt on him for Erin. All it takes to keep the team intact is for Strauss to join them at work on a particularly disturbing case involving a man using his son to lure unsuspecting women ("He's going to kill you, you know"). And speaking of unfinished business, enter Gideon's replacement, David Rossi (Joe Mantegna, an inspired choice), a BAU legend who returns to the unit he helped found. He claims he just wants to help with the BAU "an agent down," but his true motivation will become clear as the season unfolds Suffice to say it involves an extremely cold case that continues to haunt him. Rossi's introduction is the accessible entry for viewers new to the series, as they, along with Rossi, get to meet the other team members, including hunky Derek (Shemar Moore), bookish genius Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), and colorful computer whiz Penelope Garcia (Kristen Vangsness). This season, the team is confronted with nightmarish cases, involving all manner of killers (including one cannibal). Working together to catch these "unsubs" before they can claim another victim offers further opportunities for what Rossi calls "personal growth." In a two-part episode, Shemar must confront his crisis of faith. In another episode, Reid attends a support group for his addiction (another development from last season). Two cases hit particularly close to home. In one, a team member is shot, and in the explosive season finale, another is targeted by terrorists. Considering Criminal Minds 's intensity level, even the bonus gag reel, comprised of pratfalls, tension-breaking clowning, and even a birthday cake break for Mantegna, can be unsettling! There is something to be said for having a week to unwind between new episodes. A Criminal Minds marathon can seriously creep you out. And we mean that in a good way. --Donald Liebenson This popular show follows a group of FBI agents as they go inside the minds of vicious murderers. Tony Award-winner Joe Mantegna stars as David Rossi in this third season (replacing Mandy Patinkin), an original founder of the Behavioral Analysis Unit who returns to action as a profiler; in addition to Mantegna, Criminal Minds stars Thomas Gibson as the group's leader. Solving mysteries by delving into the psychology of serial killers and terrorists, each of the group's members are able to offer special insight into specific cases: Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) helps to solve crimes of obsession; Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) employs her computer skills to gather clues; and Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) uses his considerable intelligence to crack cases, despite his substandard social skills. Offering insight into both real and fictional crimes, this show is an essential for drama devotees. This collection presents the complete third season. Star: A.J. Cook, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, Joe Mantegna, Shemar Moore, Special Features: 6-Disc Set Widescreen Audio: Dolby Digital English Review: They keep you wanting for more! - I enjoyed very much the first two seasons. But when I read that Mandy Patinkin had left the show I was disappointed and thought that was the end of Criminal Minds. I was so wrong! And don't get me wrong, he was a great asset being the character they most turned to for advise in all areas of the psyque. Joe Mantegna is more likable -sorry Mandy- and though he was brought to the show almost abruptly, they show you how he adapts gradually to everybody and the new way things are done at the BAU since he had been part of it when it began. Throughout the season, Joe Mantegna integrates the team like a piece of a puzzle that didn't quite fit was removed and placed by the perfect one, and now I see that the show will not only survive it's leading character but will do better with the new one. Now, the plot. Unfortunately, there are so many sick in this world that they will never run out of new ideas for a show. Every episode is good, has new twists, and some episodes are even better that what we would sometimes expect; you are guessing who is going to be the bad guy and how they are going to figure out, by his/her personality or behavior, who committed this or that murder. It's just so wonderfully made that sometimes I think I have a bit of a psychologist in me! It never gets boring and even though it is about solving mostly murders, I always finish watching with a sense of satisfaction. The only bad thing is that I watched it so fast that now I am tapping my fingers waiting for the fourth season. Don't miss this one! Review: Greatest Season So Far!!! - Season 3 of Criminal Minds, up to now is the greatest season yet.Thank God they got rid of Lola Glaudini-she couldn't act & her character was always this weak,whiney annoying untrained young girl, not a trained professional agent. I was also so-o-o glad that Mandy Patankkn left after season 2.He was very annoying.It seemed he had to be in every scene & that he gave all the orders,with the other characters only bit players. At least Season 3, all the actors get to shine & all have episodes they are strong in. The best of all of them for me is, of course,Thomas Gibson's Aaron Hotchner!!!His character is so strong,such a leader,yet so emotional under the surface. The team only gets better with Joe Mantegna,what a great choice to join the group.Strong himself, yet amusing & he doesn't try to dominate everyone. The charisma between the whole cast is so obvious, along with the great scripts, that is why the ratings have soared the past few seasons!Keep going on for a long time, Criminal Minds!!Seasons 4 & 5 have only gotten better!! Also keep going-Thomas Gibson, handsomest actor on TB today!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | A.J.
