Great! So let's appreciate what we have in our team, that we still are able to see Reid, Hotch, Garcia, Morgan, Rossi, JJ after ten years, possibly look at it through a slightly different lens, and maybe... I dunno... enjoy it!

I'm so sorry JMO! What a stressful day! If not for myriad critters then the analyst's circumspect non-diagnosis! May I suggest you take an aspirin a day, and if all else fails, go to an Emergency Room and tell them what was said to you. The critters... I can't know what to do there. Do you live on an island? Perhaps name after someone named... Moreau?

Oh sure I do agree there. That's an easy one. I know she's a fan of 'Whapoww! AWESOME!! Roundhouse kicks!!', and we could definitely see some more of the team sharing quietly, and I could surely go without another Kim Harrison episode my entire life. It's just that we aren't really likely to get that, and I don't want to go through every episode we have left wishing it were different. These are still our people, our team, and I'd rather soak it in, take it on its own merits, and review it based on what the show is now, than compare it to an ephemerous intangible that we are not likely to see again. I do know that these people (the writers and producers) work very hard to bring us this show, and they care deeply about the characters. That makes me root for them, it really does.

I hope it IS an Andrea EE, because how cool. But... her inner shirt is all wrong. The stripe pattern is different. :/

They wanted to float that, knowing that's where our heads would go, but at the same time Erica said "JJ would never have an affair." Personally, I don't mind red herrings, but I don't like to feel fucked with. Also if JJ were to have an affair it better be with Reid. ;)

I don't think I've Aaron so consistently tightly wound and snappish as he is in Limelight. It's just relentless with him in that one. Even in 100 he has moments of deep vulnerability. On the plus side, lots of ReidxMaps! And Reid calls Rossi "David". And it's the diner scene with Morgan and Prentiss so I keep waiting for the waitress to bring over the gigantic pen. xD

I'm not sure how any writer would respond well to criticism of something they work so hard to present. What would that look like, I wonder, if a writer were to come out with "Yeah, that one was a piece of crap!" Heh. Probably wouldn't have a job for long. They admit when they've flubbed up, and I did hear Virgil say A Thin Line was the ep he was least proud of. I just don't expect any of them to come out and say that their writing is bad. Comparing CM to BB is kind of apples and oranges, considering the latter is part of the new television renaissance and looking to break rules and re-make television drama as we know it, whereas the former is part of the old guard. I doubt CBS would let them take CM down any similar road, inasmuch as the two of them are fundamentally different shows. I am in agreement with the "too many cooks" point of view. I think that's highly relevant to consistency, and just flat out true, in our show's case. I'd get rid of Rick, Kim, and Bruce. Of the three, the only one I think has a chance of maybe leaving would be Kim. Rick is too close to Erica and Bruce is far too popular with the other writers.

None of them are going anywhere. However you think of them, for better or worse, they are who we have.

Buffy - Used to fighting zeds and the like, really good at it. Kirk Prime - thinks on his feet, great with weapons, hot. Aaron Hotchner - dead-eye shot and gifted leader/people planner. MacGuyver - the man is his own verb, c'mon! Melinda May - she's a human Death Blossom, also awesome.

Hips don't lie...

"The current batch". Heh. Writers have been the same for four years now.

Like someone upthread mentioned, Chris Coy (Martin) is pretty fucking phenomenal. He played a rabies victim (cured, they got to him in time) in Criminal Minds last season, and he was a darling love and we all want him to return at some point. Goes to show that any one-off role can be hella memorable with the right portrayer.

I do wish this all didn't happen within a handful of days. It's hard as a viewer, after 7 months of nothing, to imagine it so. Wouldn't it be far better to let at least a few weeks pass in the canon timeline? It would have more gravitas, wouldn't it?

I love Hotch's face there, too. Like "I love you, you ol' bastard, but BEST not be disrespectin' my agent!"

Or a professional fighter and he killed someone. I hope they don't go down that tired path.

I did see that clip, thanks to tumblr, and I loved it. :)

I gave up the show after the whole Patchy debacle, banishment of Carol, and the final straw was killing Hershel. Now though, with the promise of more wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff and even more flashbacks to come, there isn't any reason Hershel can't make an appearance now and again. Plus I do love that everyone is back together and the Caryl reunion solidified any lingering doubts. That and the fact that baby Judith is a better actor than some of the adults, and I'm back on board. ;) Leave it to Chris to come out and ask about Beth (not that I care if she shows up again, I really don't), and I love how he couched it in his mother's guilt trip! Haha! Oh Hardwick, just marry me already!

I've missed Hardwick in this. Glad they're back.

Martha Stewart was Tasha Yar? Whoa.

And when Rossi suggested she take a vacay she said she was gonna go to Italy but her mother extended her stay there. Rossi says "It's a big country" and Em goes "Not big enough."

I think maybe Kate was following Penelope's lead. Her mentioning kitten vids probably let Kate think it was okay to remark on it, and then they fed off each other's response. If Pen hadn't said anything I doubt Kate would have. To answer your question it would definitely have depended on the comment and the setting.

There's this awesome thread for other shows we love too: http://forums.previously.tv/topic/4587-other-shows-we-like/page-3#entry360302 There was also a hashtag event for Leverage a couple of days ago. Folks trying to get it trending to promote their push for a movie.

Re: the wound discussion, despite my earlier post about Reid walking by with coffee and pulling a Buffy moment, I think it was more poignant that the two men who have suffered the most of all in the course of the job... said nothing. I would have liked to have seen a look pass between them, though. Something like "Yeah, I know.", but unspoken.

And fuck her. The last scene of the ep is brutal and bullshit. Poor Emily. Though it also contains one of my favorite scenes of all. Hotch's profiling of his team. Done with insight, compassion, and spot-on analysis. <3

Right, thanks CoStar. That makes sense considering the 'Thieve's Code' they keep bringing up. Also now watching a favorite of mine, Legacy, with the OCD detective (and the junkie crawling over the glass) and the 63 people missing. I love how JJ notices the postmark, seeing that it crosses state lines and is therefore a Federal case. LOVE the small stuff! The one thing that was distracting was the vic's perfect teeth. If she was a crack whore, she would not have had blazing white perfect teeth and gums. #MakeupDeptFail
