Review - Criminal Minds Season 5 Episode 7 The Performer

Vampires? The Criminal Minds writers decided to jump on the the vampire bandwagon, creating a story by combining a wannabe vampires and Gavin Rossdale. As part of being "hip" the writers also threw in references of Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course Twilight, mentioning the Cullens no less.

The plot was so obvious I saw the "twist" coming before the halfway point. The rocker was uninterested, and a seemingly nice guy. His manager was pushy and kept trying to bump of the sales. Stage a couple weird murders and the records sell.

Then there was the angle that Los Angeles is all about partying, and the paparazzi are everywhere. The media hounds were waiting outside the police station and law enforcement hates them. Such wonderful, original storytelling. (since this is the internet, that was sarcasm)

Score: 8.4/10
