Check out some pictures from CRIMINAL MINDS‘ Season 4 premiere episode, “Mayhem,” airing this Wednesday, September 24, at 9pm on CBS.
Criminal Minds returns for an all new season this week. I will be honest here and admit that I cannot really remember last season’s finale, but this is the beauty of procedurals, you don’t need to remember.
It does look like the team gets right back into it going after terrorists, that’s a change!
You can watch a promo and check out more photos from Criminal Minds “Mayhem” below.

Who went kablooey? That’s the question that’s been raging all summer long for you Criminal Minds fans (my email inbox proves it), after the SUV of a series regular was blown up in the season finale.
While I don’t want to know the straight-up answer (what fun would that be?) I do have a couple of hints and a theory about whose SUV went boom and some dish from Matthew Gray Gubler (you know him, you know love him…Dr. Spencer Reid!) about what’s in store when the series returns Sept. 24 on CBS. Click in for the goods!
Previously on Criminal Minds (a refresher):
Who’s Safe? You can officially eliminate Garcia from the list of possible SUV-explosion victims. Kirsten Vangsness herself told me: “If you shoot a girl during the season, you probably don’t blow her up.” True dat.

Who Blew Up? I get the feeling that Thomas Gibson’s Hotchner might not be so safe. See, I asked Kirsten if we’d be seeing any more of Nicholas Brendon as her hacker boyfriend, Kevin Lynch, and she told me, “Yes, I think so, but before that, we have a very interesting arc with a gorgeous hunk-a-ma-lot named Thomas Gibson. We spend a lot of time at first dealing with his issues.” Ruh-roh.
So if Hotch is the victim, those first episodes back could most definitely deal with his injuries, physical rehabilitation and physical trauma, I suspect Agent Kate Joyner (Sienna Guillory) may be a goner, which can’t be good for the man’s psyche, seeing as how she looks exactly like his ex, Haley Hotchner (Meredith Monroe).
CBS
Monsters in the Closet: We will learn a terrifying secret from Reid’s childhood that explains why he’s so attracted to serial killers. According to Matthew Gray Gubler: “I just read an episode that has an incredibly dark history for Reid. He had a terrible thing that happened in his childhood that comes out, causing delayed nightmares. It explains why he’s so attracted to serial killers. The last page, I was like, it all makes sense. It’s super dark…like cable-style dark. I’m sure the fans will hate it, and I’ll love it.”
Ooh, I think I know! Is Dexter Morgan
his brother?
Dylan Always Was the Bad Boy: According to Gubler, the secrets of Reid’s childhood are revealed in part because of a Beverly Hills, 90210 alum. “They’re everywhere these days!” Gubler told me. “We have an episode where Luke Perry plays a psychotic polygamist cult leader. I’m always getting held hostage by teen idols—first James Van Der Beek was a guest star and held Reid hostage, and this time it’s Luke Perry. I actually saw Scott Baio out front, and I swear he looked at me. I want George Michael to hold me hostage in season eight.” Hee. I love this guy. And suffice to say, Perry’s character sets off Reid’s nightmares, which lead him back into his very scary past.
CBS
Crossover? Supergirl Pauley Perrette, who plays Abby on NCIS (another CBS procedural), and Kirsten Vangsness told me they’ve been pitching their respective bosses on a Criminal Minds-NCIS crossover. According to Pauley, “We’re itching for a crossover episode using our two characters. These two, Abby and Garcia, have been friends forever. We want to say that we went to school together, and we’re best friends. We really want it to happen.” Fans, should the producers make it so? Post your take in the comments, along with your prediction on whose SUV exploded…

Last week, we reported that Jason Alexander will be returning to primetime comedy to work on Til Death. Unfortunately, he won’t be showing off his acting skills as he’ll be going behind the cameras for an episode of the FOX sitcom. On the other hand, it looks like we’ll be seeing the 48-year-old actor on our small screens after all since he just signed on to guest star on CBS’ Criminal Minds.
Best known for his role as George Costanza on the hit eponymous series Seinfeld, Jason Alexander has since appeared on a number of TV roles such as Al Harris on Dinosaurs, Tony Kleinman on the CBS sitcom Listen Up! and the title character on the heavily promoted but short-lived ABC sitcom Bob Patterson. On the big screen, he is credited for How to Go Out on a Date in Queens, The Grand, Pretty Woman, For Better or Worse, and The Last Supper.
Not much has been revealed about the Seinfeld actor’s guest role on Criminal Minds. However, fans can expect that Alexander will be portraying a role nothing like his Seinfeld character.
“It’s a really crazy role,” show executive producer Ed Bernero told Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello. “He’s going to come in and turn himself in, but we have no idea who his victims are. So we have to reverse profile.”
Jason Alexander’s much anticipated Criminal Minds episode is slated to kick off November sweeps.
Heading for its fourth season on September 24, Criminal Minds revolves around adventures of a team of profilers from the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) at Quantico, Virginia. The series stars Joe Mantegna (David Rossi), Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), Matthew Gray Gubler (Spencer Reid), Shemar Moore (Derek Morgan), AJ Cook (Jennifer “JJ” Jareau), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia) and Thomas Gibson (Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner).
“Jason Alexander has booked a killer (ha!) guest stint on CBS’ Criminal Minds. “It’s a really crazy role,” says executive producer Ed Bernero. “He’s going to come in and turn himself in, but we have no idea who his victims are. So we have to reverse profile.” The episode’s slated to kick off November sweeps.” -Michael Ausiello for EW
**I am turning off comments on this post. I know how everyone feels from last week’s Ausiello post and we don’t need to rehash the bile.
