Why I should never mix obsessions

[gen-is-gone.livejournal.com]

After seeing Inception for the fifth time the other day (yes, I am obsessed), I began to think: If our intrepid BAU team were an extraction team instead, what role would they each play? for anyone who hasn't seen Inception, the list is under a cut.

So the list is this:
Hotch: An extractor or point man
JJ: A point man or forger
Reid: An architect
Garcia: A chemist
Morgan: An extractor

and also
Gideon: Definitely an architect

As for Rossi, I think he'd be what Saito was, giving the team jobs and bankrolling them. Saito's movie title was the Tourist but it's not the actual job description. And I have no idea what Emily and Elle would be. Any ideas? Also, what do you think their totems might have been?

Emily would be a point man, JJ would be a forger. JJ's got the interpersonal skills to mask herself and be what people want her to be. She's the front face working with the victims/law enforcement, so it makes sense. And Emily's got that sharpness required by the point man.

Elle would probably be a point man. I think Garcia could also be an architect as well as a chemist.

Apparently people DO think about this, haha.

Oh, these are awesome. I would actually read this crossover. :)

I'd love to write a crossover where the BAU takes over the investigation of mind crime cases in the US since it's such vague and murky area of crime and their first case is a request by the UN to look into the Fischer job and thus discover the other team...

Aaaaaand write! Go, go, go!

Seriously, dude. Go write. :D

Damn plot bunnies. Now I have to. :P

I actually wrote out all of this in math class a few days ago lmao.

Hotch: Extractor.
Reid: Point Man. (He's the one that does all of the information-gathering, which fits for me.)
Garcia: Definitely chemist.
Morgan: Forger.
JJ: Either architect or forger. I had her listed as architect.
Rossi: Bank-roller / Tourist.

I had Prentiss written down as the Mark when I was fitting them to characters - mostly because she reminds me of Fischer because she's got a wealthy, powerful parent that she has massive issues with. But if we're going for the BAU team = Cobb's team, I would put Prentiss as an Architect because she's a lot more cultured than most of the team, since she's lived all over the world and has more experience with it?

I also had Elle written down as the Shade (Mal), because she'd be the member of the team who got dragged too far into the darkness of the job and ended up taking the wrong way out. Then Extractor!Hotch's memory of her would be darker and twisted because of the guilt he felt for letting her get hurt. (There's also the part where Arthur says that Mal was "lovely" when she was alive - she's a character who was fantastic but is remembered in a negative light.)

Non-Shade Elle would be either an Extractor or Point (Wo)man, I think.

As for totems... JJ's would be her sister's necklace, I think. I can see Reid's being a specially made chess piece like Ariadne's. I'm not sure about anyone else.

Oh and also:



This CM/Inception trailer is the most badass-ly awesome thing I've ever seen.

[gen-is-gone.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! Did you make this? I love the fact "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, Darling" is in this, accompanied by Morgan with the semi-automatic!

[x-forgetromeo.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't! I wish I had that talent, ha. This girl also has a bunch of fantastic Morgan/Reid vids on her account, if you're into that.

[lucianwolf.livejournal.com]

That was so very cool. Thank you for posting it!

[oirishgurl.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is awesome. I love it. Inception is my fave movie at the moment. And who doesn't love CM? haha.

[pabzi.livejournal.com]

Inception is my favorite movie too! Gideon would be an extractor. The best.

AMAZING VIDEO.

This means we get fic from this idea right?
