Criminal Minds S4E6 'The Instincts' REACTION

[@SimpleReactions]

Do not talk to me about how terrible and no empathy I have. Maybe start with having a conversation. A solution. A discussion. Straight up attacking and using words that make you seem better than me is not gonna cut it. You have an issue with what I say, don't speak to me like you're better and I'm a misguided child. Have an adult conversation. If you can't then don't say anything. If you're possibly taking things too seriously consider that as well. The moment we all realize there are billions of people in the world with different opinions and ways of doing things the better off we all are. That doesn't make me evil, that doesn't make me bad, or lacking of anything. Think before you hit "comment". These episodes are amazing and awesome content to share with you all, lets keep it that way.

[@SimpleReactions]

All I am saying is I will not be having aggression and hate on this channel. Lets be adults. Your opinions 99% of the time do not make you vulnerable to unnecessary words and accusations on your character. Be an adult. Have adult conversations.

[@SimpleReactions]

Appreciate it.

[@shesparkey]

Just in case no one has told you this, your channel has the least amount of drama ect. I have seen. I've really enjoyed the conversations with fellow watchers, getting different people's perspective is somthing I always appreciate. I think all these interactions with different people make me a better person. This is something that I have appreciated more the older I get. Guess what I'm saying is keep up the great work. ❤

[@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195]

You actually do have exceedingly low drama levels in your comment section. I really appreciate your dedication to keeping it that way.

This episode might have one of my favorite lines from Diana (Reed's mom) "It helps if they think you are crazy. They don't argue." Not only is it true, but it also shows her intellectual ability to "manipulate" her surroundings. It also shows how aware she is of where she is.

[@mandaree8147]

This is actually more common than you might think. I mean, obviously it's not like SUPER common. But there's a good handful of real life cases of women who lose their babies and just. Invent in their minds that this baby they've kidnapped is theirs. Typically those children grow up perfectly healthy and happy, finding out as teens or adults when they do DNA tests. Many of them keep in contact with their kidnappers because, for all intents and purposes, that's their mom and their mom is ill, not cruel. I know it's easy to get riled up and blame people for horrific things. But in cases like these, it's just a legitimate mental illness. She honestly believes that boy is her baby, then she believes that bear is him and he's dead. The mind is terrifying because it can make up these stories and cause so much harm- not only to the women, but to the innocent children.

[@alexiltempo]

Oh man, Reid and JJ... the sweetest They are one of the main reasons this show has 15 seasons

[@anthonyvincenttucceri7401]

16 Now

[@sharonjoan1970]

Such a Great Episode and of course having it be Reid Centric made it even Better❤

[@ScarlettM]

I feel sorry for this crazy "unsub". She lost touch with reality and was driven by basic maternal instinct. Breastfeeding probably was a factor driving her: if a new mom has her child taken away, she has to deal with the breast pain from being too "full". It could take days of pain and sometimes fever before body would stop producing milk. So breastfeeding brought physical and psychological relief, playing into her delusion.

[@theSTRAWBERRYloverX3]

about lil kids walking alone. European here that's pretty normal here. Like my youngest cousin is six, she walks to thei neighbors in their street to ask for example if her friend can play by herself since she was 4? and viaversa. (Obvi with parents always knowing were they are) I started walking to school alone in second semester of first grade at 6 it was a fifteen minute walk, crossing several streets. With 11 I took the bus to my secondary school in a whole other part of town (normal bus, we do not have school buses.) It is pretty normal in many countries to start walking by yourself around that age. Granted I do feel you guys dont even really have sidewalks in the US

[@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195]

No we have sidewalks. In town that is. But yeah 5 was a pretty normal age to start walking like a block away (not city block mind you. Not crossing any streets) by yourself to go to a friend's or something. I did it all the time. Then again that was the 90's and maybe things have changed a lot. It also probably depends on where you live a lot.

[@shardonayM]

My mom didn’t even want me having sleepovers in highschool but these parents let their five year old walk to a friends house 😟

[@chellebelle4738]

You recognized the boy’s father from Agents of Shield. Reed Diamond played Whitehall, the guy who stole his youth from Skye’s mom.

[@alarrim29574]

He basically played an unsub but in agents of shield 😂

[@Gadeberg90]

It should almost be buttoms up when Hotchner smiles haha.

[@annaschwirian7548]

This episode honestly shows a good glimpse into who Reid is!

[@KrystalAnn0688]

This is season 4 episode 6, & I have to point out having watched all your reactions to Criminal Minds thus far, that I don’t think I’ve heard you say one bad thing about a single main character or episode (there’s a reason this show ran for 15 seasons, or 16 if ya count the new one). I’m sure you have your favorites & ones you like better than others, we all do. But seriously not one negative thing outta your mouth about the show itself. Love this show, love you, so excited to continue the show with you! & so excited for your record numbers ❤

[@LoveableNiki]

Mama Bear said y'all ain't keeping my baby locked up in here!!!! 💛

[@TimedRevolver]

I don't see any hope for those who act on their urges towards kids. They took that first step and there's no coming back. The urge to do more will always be there now. But those who haven't offended, we desperately need to study them. Find out what causes these urges. Because we needed a solution yesterday. Reacting isn't enough, we need to outright prevent it.

[@moviesnmoscato]

Just found your channel last night and i absolutely love your reactions! Keeping it simple with great commentary lol. It's def fun rewatching this series through your eyes, and looking forward to looking back at Bones too

[@ericajohnson2529]

I love Jane Lynch as Spencer’s mom. Great casting.

[@AL-cc3mj]

I wasn’t allowed to go to the grocery store bathroom alone until I was like 12! crazy how different some parents can be

[@sophiedophie]

This was a great episode

[@tracyswoops7401]

Lol dude you’re always so good at predicting what’s up, we should also drink everytime you call something 😛😂🥰

[@SimpleReactions]

I get a lot more wrong its just not noticed.

[@joliehaley2400]

Please remember to respect the rules of the channel with spoilers, talking about the next or future episodes, mentioning other characters, and the outcome of those characters. Thank you.

[@gaskillstar]

I’d love to see your reaction to the show Hawaii Five 0, if you haven’t seen it or, even better, House. You seem to like shows that you gotta figure out, House is that as well as funny

[@yoitscait.]

you could not do a drinking game with bones. “i don’t know what that means” would take anyone out alone lol

[@vanessalucas4760]

I'm glad I remembered I had some brandy left for the drinking game 😂 cheers for that added level of fun, and congrats on the increased viewer and subscriber counts then and now! 🎉🥳

[@theSTRAWBERRYloverX3]

I do feel saying all pedos should die misses the point as generalizations do a lot. Like it is a mental illness at the end of the day and there are enough people that recognize those urges in themselves and are getting therapy, removing themselves from children, or even castrating themselves in some cases so they won't offend. Like the ones that do of course deserve no pity but I feel we do a disservice to people actively fighting such tendencies. (Same for ppl with the urge to kill, actual sociopaths/ppl with psychopathic tendencies that are in therapy.) You cannot change being like this necessarily but you can decide what to do.

[@kevinworytko1099]

Bottoms up to a great episode

[@natashathompson2429]

@SimpleReactions Jane Lynch is from Glee she is an amazing actress. Love her

[@talitacosta8885]

You are a great streamer and i love your reaction. I found you through prison break and it is one of my favorite shows ever and of course criminal minds. ❤ keep up the great work I'm definitely looking forward for more criminal minds reactions since is one of the best crime shows out there.

[@yoitscait.]

i’m so confused i just finished the vid, where’s the lack of empathy did i miss something? huh lmao

[@SimpleReactions]

Im an evil and heartless person Cait, run

[@yoitscait.]

@@SimpleReactions ah shit you must be, after all watching someone online is the same as knowing someone irl we all know this!

[@SimpleReactions]

Exactly. There can't possibly be anything else anyone could ever learn about me other than the brief moments I appear online in edited formats.

[@yoitscait.]

@@SimpleReactions it’s just mad to me man. i feel like i’m a pretty good judge of character (kinda have to be) and i get an idea of the ‘type of person’ someone is pretty quickly, but i still don’t know them. you could be evil and heartless for all i know! however from the vibes (yes that’s a scientific term) i get from you i feel like i could definitely trust you with my drink, so that’s something.

[@janabraam7963]

I never let my kids walk to a neighbors house at 5 without me watching them get in the door safely! I have to drink for the boy's mom. I recognize her from ER. There is no justification for child abuse or molestation, in my opinion. Get them off the face of the Earth. OMG! I guessed the breastfeeding thing right away!

[@eastcoastlockdownbullies]

I found you because of Criminal Minds

[@heathergagnon5125]

I would be worried about someone who would use this drinking game for too many episodes in a row or just the wrong pair of two. I think a few times you may have missed them saying unsub but maybe that's for the best.

[@SimpleReactions]

Yes I make up for my mistake many seasons later.
