I am loving the Morgan and Garcia scenes tonight

[epicet.livejournal.com]

Seriously seriously seriously SO GOOD.


Like, the way he walked while holding his dead mother? Is how Scottie stands/walks at the end of Vertigo up on the belltower.



YESSSS

wait i'm confused can someone explain the ending to me

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

With his arms on his knees like a little kid.

She's been dead too long - looks like years - she's a skeleton!

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

Garcia was doing her play again, and the whole team was there watching. :D

Or did you mean the ending of the case?

[cupcakery.livejournal.com]

What about the ending?

[epicet.livejournal.com]

Like with the unsub?


His mother's been dead; her death was probably the stressor. That is a throwback to Psycho. He's been recreating women in her image, which is a reference to Vertigo.

Criminal Minds you never cease to find new ways to freak me out. Creepy guy with creepy imaginary dead mama.

Is it just me or can Morgan get a bit cloying at times? And where is Kevin these days?

[devon-carrots.livejournal.com]

oooh okay thanks

[epicet.livejournal.com]

On probation/in jail.

Nicholas Brenden, I mean.

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

He was abducting girls and trying to play out the scenario his dead mother had made him perform with her. That's why they all looked like her. He took the first girl's lips to put oh his mothers corpse (probably because hers had rotted off by then). When the second girl ran into the room and screamed? She had found the mother's corpse.

By the time the cops came for him, he was so delusional he imagined they were walking down the red carpet.

The entire show had callbacks to old films: Psycho, Vertigo, and at the end (I think) What Happened to Baby Jane.

This one was extremely well done.

Annnnnndddddd, once again the writers go from a happy/family scene to a omg-nightmares in less than .2 seconds.

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

'If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise!!!!'

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

No, I was wrong. It's Sunset Boulevard, but What Happened to Baby Jane.




This is why I usually Google before I hit Post.

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

That made me laugh way more than it should sanely should have.

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

That's the first thought that popped into my head! :))

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily.

Her disability permit would have expired if it'd been more than a year or so.

[gen-is-gone.livejournal.com]

I really liked this cold open. It reminds me of 'True Night'. And the sibling rivalry between Reid and Garcia. "Burn that from my memory." "You asked."

[cloudzrshibby.livejournal.com]

That episode was terrifying and amazing.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

I was "O_O where's he been hacking into" for a moment.

[parisntripfan.livejournal.com]

True, but how many viewers are going to know that? Not many outside the Washington DC area.

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

Everything I Need To Know I Learned From Criminal Minds?

[epicet.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, no, Brendon punched someone in the face for calling him Xander* or something.



*I totally made this up. He did assault some cops though.
