Just a reminder for everyone that you can sign-up for Round Table Mondays over here. I'm also looking for pinch-hitter meta writers, if anyone at all would like to volunteer.

I wish I had normal hours at work so I could watch this as it airs. Overnights are awful.

[spriggina.livejournal.com]

I work retail closing in North America, so I'm in the same boat. :(

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

I regret not watching the promo for this now.
Im already lost, lol

[doverz.livejournal.com]

He seems like he's mentally ill. Let's keep perpetuating that stereotype show.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's that condition some long term boxers develop from blows to the head. They come across as drunk and out of it.

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Also, Hotch and this random woman are adorably awkward.

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Thomas Gibson said this scene was going to be awkward...and it's painful to watch.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

She totally planned that. You dont bring cards with you jogging.
Lol Rossi!

[kwerkee.livejournal.com]

Agreed. The card thing seemed off.

I like that Rossi is rooting for Hotch to get back on the bicycle, lol.

[briasoleil.livejournal.com]

Rossi, you do amuse.

Also, Thomas Gibson has a really nice smile.

Gibson has a very sweet smile

Some day I have to Google Survivor, I've been seeing the voting bit of it for years but I have no idea what actually goes on.

[paksenarrion2.livejournal.com]

If you get a yen to watch any, watch the earlier seasons. The last four or so have sucked.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

JJ/MORGAN AAAHHH

[fanantic.livejournal.com]

Hoping that was a good 'AAAHHH' and if so :D :D :D definitely agree with it!

[doverz.livejournal.com]

JJ's hair is pretty.

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Seems like another one of these episodes...

[diemme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, buddy, you're screwed.

[annievh.livejournal.com]

victim or unsub?

[annievh.livejournal.com]

Waiting for episode's end.

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Me too. I really liked last week's episode and this one is just weird.

[silver-chipmunk.livejournal.com]

Seems like the show focuses much more on following the unsub than they used to and I for one don't like it. I want to see more of the team!

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Especially considering the storylines about the unsubs aren't as good as they used to be.

[august-suns.livejournal.com]

Well that's depressing.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

I miss scary unsubs

[chreesko.livejournal.com]

Needs more team, less unsub.

I feel bad for not caring about if this kid lives or dies or any other aspect of the unsubs story.

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Jeez, they couldn't have used the name of an actual hospital in Philadelphia? There's an entire hospital devoted to caring for kids in Philly -- CHOP. "County Hospital" is just laziness.

[annievh.livejournal.com]

in my fics, I name every single hospital and school St. Agatha.

That's laziness.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

Ugh I hate this. I cant watch fighting.

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Awwww, awesome in daddy mode Hotch!!!!

[briasoleil.livejournal.com]

The guy at the underground boxing ring looks like the guy John Cusack killed in Grosse Pointe Blank.

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

This episode sucks. I like it when the unsub is creepy. This guy isn't creepy. He's just sad. There's no suspense. It's entirely predictable. It's not even a Christmas episode.

It is confusing

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

I did miss the first half, but it's just...meh???


Okay, Hotch and Rossi are flirting bantering again, so that's something.


Hotch in t-shirt and shorts
+1

The complete absence of ass shot (unless I missed it in the first half)

:(


Come on show, if we are going to focus on the boobs of the unsub's victims, which is very gross by the way, can we get some completely harmless ass shots of the gorgeous male cast please?

[doverz.livejournal.com]

Gasp. That was a tear down Hotch's face.

[drhoneychuckles.livejournal.com]

I know! It made the ending so much more sad! Especially after Hotch made that long speech to the boxer dude and you could totally tell he was referring to when Haley got killed.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

She's cute.
