Okay, I'm watching the new Criminal Minds episode. They ... really suck at introducing new characters, don't they? (Of course, we already knew that--see Rossi and Prentiss for previous evidence) I'm assuming from the amount of time they're spending with Agent Siever that she's going to be at least recurring, but so far the episode is coming off like a bad fanfic. Or a bad fanfic CM/Silence of the Lambs fusion. So, the team is stumped, and who do they call in? The trainee agent who's got the mysterious tragic past, of course!
Agent Siever may turn out to be awesome. She may turn out to be a cliche. She may turn out to be just here for the one episode. But man, it's like they were hitting the badfic cliches.
Also, I really hope the killer isn't the guy they've been beating us over the head with as being CREEPY AND WAY TOO INTERESTED IN THE CASE.

Which may explain both a lot of the Bad Fanfic Air and the amount of time spent.
