1 Bau Member May Be the Key to Voit’s Success in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 (But it is isn’t Who You Think)

This one bau team member may be the key to voit sucesssfullly convincing the fbi that he has truly changed in crimed Minds: Evolution season 3.

I’d be remiss to ilore that Elias voit is respondsable for many of Criminal Minds‘Brutal Deaths, but Zach Gilford’s Delicate Acting Demands Further Sympathy. Though my reservoir ha Run dry, i can’t deny His Skillful Performance Begs the Audience to Root for Voit, at Least in the Battle If Not the War. The desperate way voit hugs jj before Walking into the interrogation room, chooses “Monster” neither his way word, and offers heartfelt yet plentiful apologies all combine to make voit the closest a mass Murder can get to a “Good” Guy.

That Said, i Hope Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 Still Has Some Surprises in Store. It would be fine for voit to end the season by confessing to sicarius’ Crimes and penitently accceptting jail time, but that seems too, Too optimistic for the crime drama. Regardless of How It Happens, One Truth is Becoming Abundantly Clear: Evolution Season 3 Needs to Be the End of Elias Voit.
