I like watching "Criminal Minds". It's a series (I think it's in CBS) focusing on the cases, personal trials and tribulations of the members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. They travel all over the America, working with the local townsfolk, and helping them create the profile of the criminal, or as they coin it in the show the "unsub" (unknown subject). In knowing the profile of the unsub, it allows the police to know what to look for as they chase/pursue the perpretrator of the crimes committed against humanity.
What makes me appreciate watching Criminal Minds? Aside from the fact that I like watching these kinds of shows (anything that has to do with detective work, catching criminals, etc), I find the format of the show interesting. How so? At the beginning of each episode, the show would start off with a quote, with one of the characters reciting it through a voice-over. The quotes can range from the works of Plato, Socrates to Martin Luther King, Gandhi, even the Bible. Often these quote would serve as the theme of the show.
With the episode I was watching the yesternight, their featured quote is: "It is better to create art without a public, than to create art for a public and lose your self."
Something to think about? Sure does.
'til next time.
Carpe diem!
