Watching Criminal Minds on A&E

It’s a day off from work, yeah happy genocide day and all that, and I’m sitting here watching Criminal Minds on A&E and wondering, why does it take them so long to figure things out?

It seems like at the last minute, they get a sudden moment when they realize what they need to do to catch the unsub and it’s usually something really simple like “the unsub was at the 7-11 at the same time that the store was robbed yesterday” or some such thing.
