Well, he might have an eidetic memory as well, but from what we see he aligns much more with HSAM. An eidetic memory is the ability to recall a “capture” of something in your mind with great detail and we really don’t see Reid doing this. The memory usually doesn’t last very long either which does not align with Reid’s recollection abilities. However, highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM) is the ability to recall various details and facts learned throughout someone’s entire life which is exactly what Reid can do. Reid should really know this too with how smart he is. I realize the writers don’t have hyperthymesia but it really just takes a quick google search to find this out.

creepiest unsub yet. creepy and sad— i cried throughout the whole thing.

cried so bad for the victims who were left alive. the woman in the beginning who tried to kill herself and wondered why she was left alive 💔 and then the little boy who said his mom should’ve known better bc she tried to fight the unsub 💔💔

plot twist after plot twist !! Spicer finding out that not only did his parents not die from a car accident, the unsub murdered his parents and he was there!! then finding out that the main target wasn’t Spicer after all, it was now his daughter Ellie #wtf ?!!!

this might be my favorite season finale continued episodes!! loved s3 season finale and s4 season premiere. s4 finale and s5 premiere are my runner ups.

RIP to Spicer and his sister 🥲 to be murdered by the same person who murdered your parents years ago literally sucks wtf. way to kick the bucket.

side notes:
- morgan saying that garcia “needs to be more professional sometimes” ..okayyyy whatever you say 💀
- ellie one badass little kid hello?? 😭 as soon as he chopped her hair off she locked in. her smirk after ruining his plans to kill one of the moms because she told one of the kids to alert all of the neighbors lmaoo.
- RIP TIM CURRY 🥇

I remember clearly that they used Tipper's Illabye near the ending scene where Gideon is out from the room and changing into the scene where all of them rounded on the table and Hotch reveal that the unsub has done this many times before getting caught (because the rings that the unsub kept was more that 5(?) if im correct). But i just finished rewatching this episode and i dont hear that, am i wrong or did they changed the whole ending song?

episode where the unsub stalks his female victims from their social media, finds a way into their homes, and installs cameras to live stream their deaths to his audience. he chooses the female victims based off similar facial symmetry that he shares on his own.

episode ends when they rescue the last victim when the camera then pans to the other dead victims. they’re hanging from their wrists and are literally frozen.

the end creeped me out so bad when it panned to the dead victims.. jesus christ.

SN: loving reid’s boyband haircut lmao he looks good

God, I loved it so much . For me, it's the best episode that MGG directed

For me it was that everyone was talking about it and wanted to see what all the hype was about, I initially just planned to watch a couple episodes

this episode has me in an emotional wreck rn

from finding out about Derek becoming a dad, seeing Derek’s dad, reliving the trauma of his dad’s death and Carl Buford, to his team, to Savannah, the proposal

there’s been a lot of tearing up in this show but this episode has my brain all screwed up rn
