The Criminal Mind, a new tv show featuring introverts as heroes ...An elite squad of FBI profilers analyzes the country's most twisted criminal minds and anticipates their next move before they strike again. Each member of the "mind hunter" team brings his own area of expertise as the team pinpoints predators' motivations and identifies their emotional triggers in order to stop them.
That's the official description. Not the best written show on tv by any means, yet it is interesting to see the importance given to the inner world. This is our forte as introverts and sure enough, a cast full of them!
Matthew Gray Gubler (above) plays a fabulously geeky young man with 3 PhDs (yes) and the social awareness of a marigold ... but then that's what we love about being introverts. It all just so much doesn't matter! He really dresses that way, too. This character has to be an INTJ Mastermind. Many of the men in my family are like him so there is a fondness.
Mandy Patinkin's part is pretty awful. He's supposed to be the Scorpionic one but, as all we true Scorps know, that's pretty hard to fake. He has the beady little eyes and tries to stare intensely "into things" but he just doesn't quite pull it off. I think he winds up looking blank. You know we true Scorps melt reality with our lazer intensity and force it to reveal its true nature to us.
This is Mandy Patinkin who is supposed to be a very intense character who can really sniff things out about people.
This show is a reminder of where our strengths lie. If you can get into someone else's mind you sure aren't an extrovert. They can't even get into their own minds :-)
