Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Wow. I've numbered this 3.1, but in fact, this was the episode that was held over from last year; it had originally been due to air last season but was pulled after the Virginia Tech shootings, as the storyline featured a serial killer on a college campus. What they've very cleverly done is film new scenes featuring the departed Mandy Patinkin to give his character some sort of closure and explain his departure from BAU. And I have to salute the scriptwriters and the powers that be involved in this because it's one of the most ingenious re-uses of a episode I've ever seen.
