Still, even with that issue, we still had a case that was intriguing and unpredictable, a couple very colorful characters for the team to deal with, and an attempt to bring a new twist on this show’s common trope of internet-obsessed unsubs. It seemed kinda all over the place, which made sense given the type of unsub they were dealing with, but which made it harder to really address all the issues at hand all that well. In some ways, I kinda feel like that might’ve been a better angle for the show, because I don’t know that this episode’s case really highlighted the actual idea of rule 34 all that well. A lot of fans, upon reading this title, thought that the episode might deal more in the fandom realm, with an unsub who’s involved with creepy porn versions of some show/movie/celebrity/whatever that people were into. This episode, as the title indicates, tries to touch on that very concept, to mixed results. We’ve all no doubt got some stories of stumbling upon something screwy online – maybe not always on the level of rule 34, but something that could be classified as just plain weird, at the very least.

Even if one wasn’t familiar with rule 34, though, I’m sure the fact that the internet has some dark areas is not exactly news to anyone who’s spent any length of time online, or, for that matter, has watched the news. Those that don’t no doubt got quite an interesting crash course regarding that concept. Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it.Ĭhances are good most viewers of this show knew the definition of that phrase going into this episode.
