10 TV ENCORE talk about in my first episode." Hewitt's casting caused a ruckus on the Internet, with fans taking to Twitter and other social media platforms to express both outrage and delight at the appointment. Some see Callahan as a replacement for fan favorite Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster, "Dan Vs."), although Prentiss was written out of the show at the end of season 7. Her actu- al replacement was Alex Blake, played by Jeanne Triplehorn ("Basic Instinct," 1992), who joined the cast for two sea- sons. Despite Brewster's lack of desire to return to "Criminal Minds," fans are still calling for her character to be rein- stated in the future. While both that and her new role involve investigations, Hewitt was much more sympa- thetic in "Ghost Whisperer," often empathizing with the unfortunates she aided. Callahan, on the other hand, holds no such feelings for the UnSubs she tracks down in "Criminal Minds." As Hewitt puts it, "[Callahan] has abso- lutely no sensitivity for these people just because she believes in the right in people, doing things the right way and not hurting other people." Hewitt is stepping into an established team at the BAU. The leader of the team is Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson, "Dharma & Greg"), who has been on the show since its inception. Hotchner's ex-wife was killed in season 5, leaving him to juggle his intensive job and care of his young son. The BAU's effective second-in-com- mand is Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore, "The Young and the Restless"), who was at one point offered a position as unit chief of the FBI's New York office. Although he turned down the position, Morgan has filled in for Hotchner as unit chief of the BAU. "Criminal Minds" spends a great deal of time examining the links between past events and present actions. The crimi- nals tend to have backstories that explain why they do the horrible things they do, and many of the characters on the BAU team suffered childhood trauma as well. Catch a new episode of "Criminal Minds" Nov. 12, on CBS. By Jacqui Wiens TV Media F or as long as there have been people, we have been committing crimes against one another. Depictions of criminal behavior can be seen in litera- ture as early as "The Three Apples" tale from "One Thousand and One Nights," originating some time in the eighth or ninth century. Early examples had little in the way of what we now consider detective work, such as col- lecting evidence or determin- ing motives. In the 19th century, crime fic- tion grew up a bit and became its own genre, paving the way for the plethora of crime books, movies and television shows that exist today. One notable contemporary example is "Criminal Minds," which has entered its 10th season and will air a new episode Wednesday, Nov. 12, on CBS. Unlike other popular proce- dural dramas, "Criminal Minds" doesn't necessarily focus on solving one specific crime. Rather, the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) works out of its Quantico, Va., base and is fed notable cases from around the country. These cases gener- ally involve serial killers, although serial arsonists, rapists and kidnappers have also been featured. The BAU then uses its expertise to analyze the unknown subject's (UnSub) crimes and known behavior in order to form a profile with which to narrow down suspects. Over the 10 seasons that it has aired, "Criminal Minds" has undergone various cast changes. Most recently, and perhaps most notably, Jennifer Love Hewitt ("The Client List") stepped into the shoes of Kate Callahan. Callahan has been with the FBI in various roles for eight years, and in her first appearance in the season 10 premiere, she is undercover, taking down pedo- philes before joining the BAU. "I wasn't quite sure at first if I was going to be a newbie who hadn't done this before," Hewitt said in an "Entertainment Weekly" interview. "When they told me about her, I was really excited that she comes with her own background and talent. She had met the BAU team before in an interesting way, which they This week's Feature Conan: Conan O'Brien While giving a speech in Iowa, Michelle Obama mispronounced the name of a Democratic candidate seven times. Someone finally had to tell her, "It's pronounced 'Hillary Clinton.'" Speaking of Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama said if she could give one piece of advice to her teenage self it would be "stop being so afraid." When asked the same question, President Obama said he would tell his teenage self, "Don't run for a second term." A new study shows the level of sophistication in presidential speeches has been in decline for years. This was especially evident after Obama's last speech entitled, "ISIS is Not So Nice-is." His speech writer is Dr. Seuss. Yesterday, Kim Jong Un made his first public appearance in over a month. And, I have to say, he was great on "The View."
