Reid's cat butt face! Love it.

Odo!!

[august-suns.livejournal.com]

Scared my roommate with how loud I yelled when I saw Odo.

stream?

I miss Gideon so much right now

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

Jason Gideon was the only one of them who was in the army right? His parallel trauma was why "Distress" was so much more moving to me than "Dorado Falls".


Though hey, for the BAU connection, there is Rossi's paternal concern for young civil servants. Then there is JJ, didn't her sister commit suicide?

Drawing a parallel to Reid? Smart, isolated... not aggressive, though. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have much respect for authority when he was young. Not much in the way of positive role models.

I had a mandatory dorm meeting and missed the first 17 minutes, and thus, have no idea what is going on.

Why are they all scratching?

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

cant watch ep. is it good?

[nwjarvis.livejournal.com]

Rossi is a former Marine.

BTW, since when does Morgan call her "Strauss" to her face? Seems a trifle disrespectful for an Assistant Director/Deputy Director or whatever her title is...?

[doverz.livejournal.com]

I really like this episode. Not really team focused, but I like it.

[izumi-masaki.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, Strauss has been drinking?!

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Where has this come from?

[doverz.livejournal.com]

OMG, putting boys in a dryer. So fucking horrible.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

The energy is low and draggy in this episode as well as the last one. I don't like it.

Knee Shot!

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

Hotch is the BOSS of my heart.

[doverz.livejournal.com]

This Josh kid is a BAMF and I loved the mocking salute he just have.

Morgan getting to confront an abusive authority figure?

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

You go bb!

...and the "No one will believe him, he's a troubled boy?" (not sure if I got exact words, but...)

That's probably a triggery moment for Morgan. bb needs some cuddles from Pretty Boy.

[devon-carrots.livejournal.com]

oh my god this was so good

Intervention!Hotch!

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

Awwww, poor Strauss.

Okay, Hotch is there with Morgan...where's Spencer? Ya know, the dude with the blink and you missed it drug addiction problem?

[diemme.livejournal.com]

This drinking thing makes no sense to me. I worry that Hotch is going to take over her job and not be in every episode.

[piperwest12.livejournal.com]

So did Morgan get Reid checked in privately for help too?! I wish they would discuss how Reid got over his addiction in these types of episodes.

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

That's one way to get rid of Strauss

The school didn't seem very realistic. Seems like a real school would have a hell of a lot more faculty and administrators running around in a situation like this, not to mention a board of trustees or governors or something over the head. But all we see are the two villans and the medical person. Which is another point, wouldn't the bodies have had to be examined by an honest-to-God coroner or medical examiner, not the doctor of the school? It all seemed so self-contained.

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

so ultimately....good, bad, or meh ep?
