We're crossing the streams with a Deliver the Profile/Thrawnderdome coproduction! Speaking of referencing other, more famous media, Ronnie and Daniel discuss Joss Whedon's ill-starred X-Men ripoff superhero ensemble drama HBO-to-Tubi original series The Nevers.

Sparkless writing, dodgy special effects, weak load-bearing premises, behind the scenes disgrace, The Nevers had it all! So how did it go so wrong? With two preeminent scholars of garbage television on the case, answers can't be far behind!

NEW SEASON! NEW SEASON! NEW SEASON ALERT! That means the Boys are knee deep in Evolution; "Swimmer's Calculus" is about a drowning unsub. Voit is also recovering from his stabbing at the end of last season. Tyler Green doesn't get to have a gun. All that and a trigger warning makes for a definite hour of television.

It's the last episode of Deliver The Profile...until the new season of Criminal Minds, that is. Don't think you got off that easily, kids. In "The Forever People" the BAU uncovers a cult that freezes people to do...something. Walt Disney? Ted Williams? Whatever. Also, JJ relives her torture from last season by hallucinating guys and getting aggressive during boxing.

In "A Place at the Table" the BAU have to solve a dinner massacre by interviewing suspects and finding out who is the most sus. Is it the son's boyfriend, the daughter's boyfriend, or DILLON? Meanwhile, Hotch runs afoul of an elderly man as he is tasked with taking care of his infirm and Alzheimer's riddled father-in-law, played by Ed Asner. It's all that and a lot of stupid shit this week on Deliver The Profile.

Ever wanted to know Garcia's origin story? Too bad, you're hearing it anyway. In "The Black Queen", Garcia must regress to her past persona to help solve a case of someone killing prostitutes and the computer world is involved somehow. In the midst of this we get to meet Garcia's ex-boyfriend, aka the worst person alive. (Worse than Nicholas Brendon!) Come for the origin, stay for Jeffrey Combs. Is he the unsub? Would Criminal Minds ever be that predictable?

Deliver The Profile takes on the apocalypse in "The Bunker", wherein somebody's kidnapping women based on the...proximity to the doomsday clock? That can't be right. Yet it is, and it results in one of the dumbest episodes ever, with some of the dumbest dialogue ever. Wait for it and you'll know.

Jazz is back in the saddle to discuss "The Witness", a Season 11 'winner' in which a guy unleashes a sarin gas attack on a Los Angeles bus and framing someone for it. He almost gets away with it too. Listen to Ronnie and Jazz tear apart Criminal Minds' attempt at homaging Arlington Road same DTP time, same DTP channel.

Daniel Daughhetee takeover fortnight concludes with a look at "Hero Worship", a bomb of a bombing episode that sees a man rescue a pregnant woman from sheer doom and then face a bombing of his own. Who is this man, and what does a dead troop living room shrine have to do with anything? All this and the Thrawnderdome banter you've grown to know and love.

Daniel appears on DTP for the 8th (!) time as we discuss "Perennials", a Season 8 episode of the show broadly about a guy killing people reborn into other people. Yes, reincarnation. How long before the BAU tracks down ghosts and goblins? Well, Ghost Whisperer's Jennifer Love Hewitt DOES enter in Season 10...

In "Amelia Porter", a bunch of dumb shit happens and the Criminal Minds crew loosely adapts the real life horrific crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Poorly, of course. More importantly, though, Hotch cut those strings loose and is now a swinging bachelor, ready to get down and fuck. All because Beth's actress was gonna be on Prodigal Son or something.
