I really want to know how Prentiss is just "back". She appears out of thin air or something and everyone's cool with it? Ok, CM. Interested to see how you handle this.
I make no secret about the fact that I don't find Gibson or Hotch that attractive (seems like a great guy, just don't find him hot), but he is looking goooood with the scruff. But I'm not going to get too used to it because according to folks on the set, he's back to clean-shaven in the next ep. I'm also curious about what the story is with undone!Hotch. He's never looked so un-Hotch-like lol.
Here's my guess how the whole "emily is back guys" situation is going to go down: Since JJ knows that she's alive, they have to deal with Doyle (or did they finally kill him at the end of 6... my brain is fuddled this morning). Then Morgan somehow sees her and freaks out and goes on a rampage trying to figure out how she's alive so Hotch, JJ, and Rossi (who I suspect knows, cause he's Rossi) have to come clean to the entire team that she's alive
I'm honestly not a big fan of scruff... it's okay but I prefer him clean shaven :)
It just seems to me too much to solve in one episode, especially in the season opener. They dragged her leaving arc out to like 7 eps, but her returning arc is - one episode?
I assume it's contractual, but it doesn't make sense in the plot. I figured it'd be a good few eps into the season before we got Prentiss back. What they SHOULD have done was shown pieces of her life in France over the first few episodes and then had her reconvene with the team. Instead it seems like we're going to see most of her rejoining the team in a flashback or something - just like I'm sure we'll get two lines about whatever happened to Ashley. Lame.
Don't count more than two lines... Erica said on the chat that she did with the Criminal Minds blog that she'd like to do something more with Seaver slash something having to do with being the daughter of the serial killer (not exactly sure if that was truly it but something like that). We may get more of Seaver...
Yah, I think they kind of want to put the whole mess of last year behind them and forget about it. Not that the fans will...
I agree. Even regular episodes tend to look always too short to wrap up the story, go figure how they will close Prentiss' arc.
Maybe it will be a season premiere double episode?
According to the Erica Messer it's Morgan during an investigation who uncovers Prentiss' fake death. Scruffy Hotch might mean he took a break or was reassigned or whatever. It might be that during the first episode the plot progresses with Emily on one side and the team on the other, until she finally rejoin them. Kind of what they did with Lauren.
Holy smoke... I can't stop thinking about that.... please stop me!
I want to see scruffy Hotch give one of his Hotchalanches. I think that might be the sexiest thing I will ever see in my life. It would beat out LDSK's Hotchalanche-in-the-locked-down-ER scene, which is like, unbeatable.
and lol the whole crew back like nothing happened XD I do hope they get Seaver for a few episodes - she's good when she's not replacing better characters.
I know for a fact I'm overthinking this, but I want to get it out there anyway. Both of the Paget shots that TG posted were from behind, and in this one, she's half-blocked by Rossi. Is there something going on with her front that they don't want us to see?

Oh, shit, that's a scary image. They'd all fall over if they tried.

Date: Jul. 9th, 2011 04:43 pm (UTC)I agree, they do. But with budgets, time, etc. They'd almost have to go back in time to fix it, in order to make it right.
