A Twist of Things to Come

Quite a lot of the set-up for most episodes is sketchy at best, but if you can suspend disbelief as far as actual Federal procedures go (and, yeah, the victims are always wrapped in plastic, to the point that we as viewers get that's the stand-in for naked on TV) then you've got fun characters and interesting interplay. Heck, even some not-pulled-out-of-some-writer's-nether-regions psychology -- a genuine surprise in a TV show.

Reid only had a few little moments in the last episode, so it made sense to use them to get my vidding feet wet.
