The performances are all great from leads and guests, Izabella Miko doesn't overdo the eccentricity and Shane Coffey is eerily unhinged. The writing and team exchanges provoke thought and the episode's portrayal of the team is back to the close family like one that work with cohesion, with competence and like they care for each other. The music is suitably ominous without being over-the-top. It is shot slickly and there is a lot of atmosphere, the way the episode is lit adds a good deal to the creepiness. Anybody that likes subtlety and coherence are best finding another 'Criminal Minds' episode though. "Rule 34" is not bad at all, and has a lot to like. The third episode "Rule 34" is an improvement over "Starter Home", briefly comparing it to the previous two episodes of the season, but is still not a patch on "300" which set such a high standard that there was always going to be the possibility that the high quality wouldn't be maintained and sadly it wasn't in that episode or here. Up to this very early stage of the season, it started off great with "300", which was how a season opener and milestone episode should be, but followed immediately after by the underwhelming and rather bland "Starter Home". It was also another episode of Season 14 that could have delivered a lot more on its potential. "Rule 34" was another episode of Season 14 that had a lot of potential, the concept was a very intriguing one with ideas worth addressing.
