![]() One never really feels like they are in the setting, so much the lack of authenticity. The production values are choppy and obvious and the music is overbearing and could have done with being used less, it is also at odds with everything. ![]() Unfortunately, that is pretty much it when it comes to "Paper Orphans" good things. The other unsubs of the season were too vanilla, lacked menace, were too sketchily developed and one couldn't feel anything for them. "Paper Orphans" also has by far the best unsub of the first season, being the only one to actually make an impression. The subplot may be cliched and slightly jarred with the case, but at least it had heart and gave some development to Garrett. That did strike a chord with me and reminded me of the time where my parents said similar to me when preparing for going off to music college, and can imagine other people in the same situation feeling the same too. That nice bit of dialogue was that truly beautiful moment where Garrett speaks to Josie regarding the extent to which he and her mother love and are so proud of her. Pretty much all the bad things that were so obvious and poorly done in the previous episodes are still here, but there was at least one nice bit of dialogue and for the first time an unsub that rose above vanilla which is a good thing. While still not considering it particularly good at all, "Paper Orphans" for me is the best episode of the season and of the show up to this point. Just like Season 1's last episode "Paper Orphans" did. "Love Interrupted" and "The Lonely Heart" were the only ones to me that didn't leave as much of a bitter after-taste and at least both had minor improvements. Most of them even being insultingly awful. ![]() As far as the previous Season 1 episodes go, none of them came over as good and were all weak at best. Season 1 of 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders', by far to me the worst of the 'Criminal Minds' shows, was not good at all.
