This is one of those fascinating "Criminal Minds" episodes were the unsub could actually be seen as a hero from a different perspective. Despite the interference of the law, he uses ritualistic, often gory methods to curb dark and supernatural forces. That is pretty much what Sam and Dean do on Supernatural--only in their world, the monsters are real. Our unsub, however, was born in the wrong reality, turning from a monster instead of a savior.

Speaking of which(witch), one of the most fascinating and terrifying things about Criminal Minds is that all the villains are, at their core, completely human. I like how you don't need superpowers to be a villain in this show--all that's necessary is a dark past, a twisted brain, and a very large. And while no one every really worries about being attacked by a minor god (hopefully not, anyway), the threat of being snatched off the street by a human killer is very real. This show has made more vigilant about who to help start their cars, and I hope it makes you feel the same way, too.
