Garcia stepped up as liaison so that is her role now. She volunteered for it. I think that's why Hotch made her do it.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

I kind of feel that way, too, BUT I have so much love for KV that it kind of overshadows anything else.

Sadly, I've witnessed this sort of negligence in real life; there was one occasion, in my city's downtown bus station, when a toddler of 18 months or wandered up to me and decided that I was his bestest buddy ever; none of the adults in the immediate vicinity had the air even of being associated with the kid.

I finally hoisted him up in the air and announced, "Does anybody belong to this?" Mom, who turned out to be all the way over at the opposite end of the station, glanced up from her cell phone conversation and hurried over to claim her son. Bonus points: she'd been alternating attention between the party on the line and a surrounding crowd of girlfriends--none of whom could evidently be bothered to keep an eye on the kid either. I could've walked off with him before anyone noticed!

Now that the episode has played out, I trust that the reason for the UNSUB's dated modus operandi has become clear.

AKA, an older Dharma and Greg fighting crime?

You know the T-shirt slogan, "Eat a live bullfrog first thing every morning and nothing worse can happen to you for the rest of the day"?

Get yourself kidnapped, tortured, and forcibly hooked on drugs by a serial killer with DID, and most of life's routine hassles will fade into insignificance by comparison...

Understand Arthurian legend.

Note how the writers found a way to fit J.J.'s departure into the Arthurian meta: http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinevere#Abduction_of_Guinevere

And allow me to add some of mine:

The line between the wolves and the sheepdogs can be very thin indeed--and sometimes the sheep will butt right back.

See that freaky character who belongs to that subculture the news media are in an uproar over? The respectable upstanding citizen right next to them is the UNSUB.

Trying to hide your embarrassing personal secrets from profilers is like trying to hide a fart from a bloodhound.

Do Not Piss Off Hotch.

AKA: At the end of a patient man's fuse is a mushroom cloud.

I don't want to know what Tony Stark was drinking when he came up with that armor design.

Unless you're twelve--in which case it's comedy platinum that only gains humor with each repetition.

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this happens to me a lot, too. I just have this aura that makes kids think I'm the bestest most nicest person in the WORLD and they HAVE to talk to me! I'm always a bit apprehensive, because I've gotten some 'WTF are you doing with my KID!?' looks and I don't like being yelled at, but yeah, lots of other parents don't even seem to notice. :/

I just tell people the tape is there so James Van Der Beek won't come kill me in the night.

I get some strange looks, but that's the fun of it!

The same chemicals which produce the feeling of love can be found in chocolate... and PEAS!

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense. Especially after he said 'Something which you'll never have' after.

Anyone knows who was the woman next to Hotch in the theater at the end? Apart from the team she was the only one whose face was visible.

[gen-is-gone.livejournal.com]

Lol. Same thoughts exactly. XD

[innerslytherin]

Don't get me wrong, I always loved Garcia, and I like that they're struggling to fill JJ's role, but I'm ready for them to put that struggle in the background and look at the other characters. I mean, if nothing else, how does Em feel being the only woman in the field these days? How is Reid doing without his "big sis" JJ around to keep an eye on him? JJ's leaving affected the rest of the team too.

And yes, please, more of Prentiss. :)

[innerslytherin]

Yeah, I'm really just not feeling it this season. I've enjoyed some of the eps, but most of them just don't feel like CM.

[innerslytherin]

It's because they have rocked so much in the past. They raised our expectations. :P

[innerslytherin]

I love Garcia, I do. But I think it all goes back to my complaints about CBS firing the girls, and the Reid-whumpage we've had in the past. This isn't the Garcia show or the Reid show or even the Hotch show. It's an ensemble, and I'm really really ready for them to focus on the rest of the ensemble. :/

[annievh.livejournal.com]

In RL or in my personal head canon?
'Cause she's Hotch's date in my head.
:D

[gen-is-gone.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's what he was doing?

[anariazanyr.livejournal.com]

For her sake I hope she is not his date. Hotch's possible romantic interests tend to die a horrible way.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

I completely agree with that! I miss the family :)

Mine is, "Dawson is evil". It is a conversation-killer.
