2 In “Compulsion”, written by series creator Jeff Davis and directed by Charles Haid, what was the behavior that tipped off the BAU that the UnSub had OCD? What was the UnSub’s name? She did and said things in threes. Clara Hayes.

3 What was the exact end quote used in episode 1×19, and which team member spoke it? “The house does not rest upon the ground, but upon a woman.” – Hotch. 

4 Name the band and the song that played at the end of “The Fisher King, Part 2″, when Hotch is washing Elle’s blood off her wall. The song is The Riddle, by Five for Fighting.

5 In “North Mammon”, written by Andrew Wilder, when do we first see the UnSub, Marcus Younger? What is the first thing he says when the BAU and LLE finally catch him with the victim? We first see the UnSub at the beginning of the episode when he takes the girls. He’s masked, but that is his first appearance. He says: “I never touched her.”

6 How did Simon Mirren say he’d like to see the BAU end up – how he’d write the BAU’s endgame? He’d rather not see an endgame. He wants them to just get on the plane and fly off, we’re left wondering where they went. 

7 What is the name of Joe Mantegna’s restaurant? Taste Chicago.

8 In the gripping episode “True Night”, written and directed by Ed Bernero, the UnSub was beaten by thugs, and forced to watch the love of his life raped and killed right before his eyes. Who played Jonny McHale, what other show was the actor famous for, and what did Emily say about him afterwards, on the jet? Frankie Muniz, Malcolm in the Middle, and Emily said “He was the first UnSub I’ve worked that wasn’t a bad guy…”

9 Who said “… there are 800 kernels of corn on the average cob”? Elle Greenaway.

10 How many words can Reid read per minute, and why does he hate the beach? 20,000 wpm, and “Sandy food, pink skin, limited and unengaging topography. But mostly the drug resistant bacteria spread by seagull feces.”

11 What did AJ Cook and her family dress up as for Halloween 2014? Vikings.

12 Who is this guy? Walton Goggins.

 

In what Prentiss episode was he featured, and which two Tarantino films is he in? Episode: Demonology, Movies: Django Unchained, and The Hateful 8.

 

13 What was Matthew Gray Gubler’s fifth directorial endeavor for Criminal Minds, and who wrote it? Alchemy, by Sharon Lee Watson.

14 Which three things are true about Hotch:

• He was on the SWAT team – yep
• He’s been married twice – nope
• His favorite album is The Beatles White Album – yep
• He’s left-handed – yep
• He used to have a gambling problem – nope

15 In “Mayhem”, what did Morgan say Garcia was to him? His “God-given solace”.

16 What was JJ’s sister’s name, and how did she die? Rosaline. Suicide.

17 In “Foundation”, written by Jim Clemente, what did Morgan give to Angel as a symbol of the child’s bravery in facing his ordeal? A challenge coin, the only one he had that had wings on it. 

18 What is Aisha Tyler’s day job? She’s one of the hosts of The Talk.

19 Every year, Criminal Minds sponsors and participates in a charity bicycle challenge for Multiple Sclerosis. Which lead actor’s family member is affected by this disease? Shemar Moore’s mother Marilyn battles MS.

20 By what name was Garcia known to hackers, before being recruited by Hotch for the BAU? The Black Queen.

21 What does the word “Zugzwang” mean? According to Reid: “Zugzwang is a term in chess used to describe a point in the game when a player knows he will inevitably be checkmated, and has to decide whether to forfeit or play through to the bitter end.”

22 In “Rabid”, written by Virgil Williams and directed by Doug Aarniokoski, who finally figures out the UnSub is using rabies as his kill method? Reid.

23 Sharon Lee Watson’s “A Thousand Suns” was a herculean effort by everyone on crew, involving both practical effects, as well as the popular green screen retro-narrative that fans have loved for years. According to Harry Bring, how far did the crew have to travel to source actual airplane parts for the crash site? A hundred miles away.

24 How many “Ghost Whisperer” alums has Breen written for on Criminal Minds? Name them. Breen says 3 – Jennifer Love Hewitt, Camryn Manheim, and Aisha Tyler. Breen didn’t write for Jamie Kennedy – that was Andrew Wilder – but if you put him I didn’t count it wrong, as long as you had the other three. 

 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
