Not surprised at all that the writers used the one stereotype for French people - rude. It seems to beg the question, why would any American ever think they will be accepted by the majority of French people in France? Our two countries have been allies for many years but France has tried to avoid conflict at all cost in recent years, not really acting like our ally. Just like with nearly every episode of "Criminal Minds", when Agent Kellett went to assist the American widow, she had no backup so I knew bad things were going to happen. For some reason, the bad guy showed up unarmed, otherwise Kellett and the widow would both likely be dead. The scene involving Raines going into the interrogation room and holding the bad guy's locked cellphone in front of his face to unlock it is brilliant.
I am extremely confused why the writers thought it would be a good idea for Sara, Agent Forrester's language tutor, to pull a prank on him. It is truly bizarre, even given the apparent mutual attraction. I don't want or expect silly humor like that in a crime drama.
FUTURE SPOILER ALERT: The look on Sara's face when Agent Forrester says he is turning off his phone (prior to their date) is puzzling. It makes me think she did NOT want him to turn off his phone, as if she were a spy. What are the odds that Forrester ran her background? The team doesn't even know about her yet. Stay tuned.
This FBI Fly Team is awesome so the writers need to step up and make them shine.
