I wonder if it would be possible for a mod to add to the thread title that there is also a promo link on page 14... as people come on later today and the page count has moved on... it might be nice for folks to be able to go to 4 and 14 to see both promos...
Just a suggestion...

And a brilliant one, at that. I made the change.

WHen they say he's starting to "devolve", what does that mean?
And what IS his ultimate goal??
Spoiler:
The devolving is pretty much what I thought was happening, which is why he's reaching out to the BAU. The tapes are no longer satisfying him and something has happened which he recognizes is something he cannot control, thus causing him to spiral out of control, get more and more aggressive and sloppy with his killing. Looks like he's been very meticulous over the years. Killing 10 people over a span of years, thus not drawing attention to himself. He's using the tapes to view when he feels the "urge" to kill, and for a long time that seems to have worked. But something happens, and now he's "out of control", but he has enough conscious left to know he's out of control and he's got enough conscious left to know he doesn't want to kill, but can't stop himself. Thus his reaching out for help. I don't know what the spark is that sets him down the destructive path may be, but we will mostly likely find out within the first 10 minutes of the episode. It could be a victim he killed that is not normally his "type", or it could be someone he doesn't want to kill but feels the compulsion. Something changes for Vincent. With his OCD, he must really be freaking out cuz each kill is getting messier and messier. And I mean that figuratively and literally. Figuratively, he's not being careful and leaving behind clues that will ultimately lead the BAU right to him. And literally, cuz each kill is getting bloodier and messier, something that Vincent, with his OCD, must despise. I would imagine he feels like he can never get all the blood off of his hands. Poor Vincent. Feeling sorry for a killer is ususally not in my nature , but its Alex, afterall, so I think I'll make an exception in his case.

That is soooooo fascinating! This kinda helps me get how it all fits together. You are SO increasing both my enjoyment and my anticipation of this episode and you are sooooo patient to keep answering our questions.... and and !!!!!!

Yeah, he sort of does have that Clark Kent-type of look going, doesn't he? Could be they're trying to mold him into the "Dr. Hyde/Mr. Jekyl" look. Normal, nerdy looking guy by day - scary, hideous killer by night! That nerdy look is able to make his victims feel unguarded around him, then when they get close....WHAM!....he strikes with that nasty looking knife!

I am finding him more sexy than creepy in these clips.
What is wrong with me??
Ok, don't answer that.

I agree, Fleur. The Canadian clip was not as choppy and fast paced, nord did it have that scary music and nasty looking knife, or those shocked looks on the victims' faces as Vincent strikes! So he definitely looked a hell of lot sexier.
