I adored Hotch.  I think he was stoic and honorable and felt as though the weight of the world was on his shoulders.  And as Reid is my favorite character, it was always dear to me, how Hotch never le

They're called "normal clothes", and, yeah, I miss that too.

The discussion about the upcoming 'Derek', and the promo for that episode brought me back to our prior two agent kidnappings.  It seems like this current set of writers has become progressively more v

I definitely consider Garcia, well, at least in earlier incarnations, to be relatively bright, but not necessarily a genius like Reid. I also thought it was cool that she was at the helm of all the technology goodness. She was competent, took her job seriously and conducted herself with utmost professionalism. Certainly, she was quirky, especially when it came to her outfits and sense of fun. 

But today's Garcia is childish, dresses like a clown college reject and acts like a snotty, yet giggly One Direction loving tween when it comes to Alvez and the now departed Morgan. 

And like many of you, none of my so-called "haterade" is because Garcia isn't skinny.

Well now this is interesting CBS appears to be delaying the premiere of CM:BB instead they will be premiering a legal drama known as Doubt. Naturally some people are now speculating as to what this might mean for the spin off as well as the mother show itself. Some are even speculating that this is probably pointing to the eventual demise of the mother show. Which is something a don't particularly agree with.

The mothership is supposed to be doomed because Beyond Borders is pushing back their premiere?

Because that makes every single bit of sense. 

Not referring to you, MMC, but those "some people" you referred to, and believe me, that sounds familiar.

My dislike of Garcia also has nothing to do with her size. I watch old episodes of CM, and she was smartly written, I enjoyed her. She didn't dress as ridiculously as nowadays and in recent past. But now she is beyond infantile. I loved KV's first effort at writing, Nelson's Sparrow, but only the parts that did not focus on the Unsub. The Unsub part is and will be unwatchable to me, and if KV wrote those parts, it makes me queasy.

Garcia is certainly smart and savvy, but saying she's a genius and, say, Hotch is not? Nah. Reid is a certified genius, far above the rest in intellect, and to try to put Garcia up there with him is insulting to both characters. And that's certainly not to say Reid is the only smart person, or skilled person there on the team. Just that he's the genius. Period.

My dislike of Garcia has nothing to do with her size and everything to do with how infantile she's become over the past 5 or so years. Also her own arrogance. At one time she was one of my favorites.

I do think that, apart from the foolishness with Luke Alvez, she's been toned down a bit this season.  She has a way to go to get back to the Garcia who caught my interest in the early seasons, but at least she's made a turn in the right direction. Hoping she doesn't regress.

Oh god, I have the top half of a mannequin i should have done this with!!!!! Maybe for next year, I'll get some fake tree limbs and festoon the entire mannequin from the waist down! I'll share pics if i do

Please do!

And I have a necklace that kind of resembles the one in the pic, only a bit less over the top. Hey, nothing says "Happy Holidays" like having balls hang over your mantle piece.

"Happy Friday, my nerds!"

Penelope thought her Christmas coiffure might be a bit too subtle so she wore this dress.

I was at a shopping centre today and in one of the shops there was a manequin-chistmas tree very similar to this one. It made me smile, ... and reminded me that I haven't said "Happy New Year" yet. 

So     HAPPY NEW YEAR  to everyone!!

Since the Beyond Borders topic is pretty dead and I know there are people over here who can read Spanish - here's a rather despairing eye-roll of a  review in Spanish from El País of the Pamplona set episode of CM:BB:  http://cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2017/01/06/television/1483721250_765173.html

Sadly, I think it pretty well sums up my thoughts on that entire show. (Although, to be fair to the show, I originally come from a land where we were so clever as to have given ourselves a deadly brain disease by feeding dead cows to other cows and then making the diseased result into hamburgers and feeding them to children. So bovines can actually consume animal products, but not quite in the form the show would have you believe.)

I feel so sorry for his future girlfriends. Because, ouch.

I know. This idiot makes those who think if you use tampons you're no longer a virgin and therefore tampons are evil tools of Lucifer or what I call, "Satan's Cotton Fingers," which apparently some scary preacher called tampons only without any irony.

I  think the show itself might be dead. I have seen the winter/spring schedule for CBS and as of late April it is still not on the schedule. Now unless CBS plans to air it sometime during the summer, which is doubtful, I'd say that this does not bode well for CM:BB.

I hear nor read a peep about this show. I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts only two seasons, if that. However, every time I read CM:BB, I read it as as Criminal Minds: Bed and Breakfast. Now that would be a show!

I'm now reminded of that scene in "The Eyes Have It" where Reid tricked us all into thinking scrambled eggs were...something else.
