Let's just hope they don't play Bittersweet Symphony...

A holiday episode would be great.

[shutterspeed.livejournal.com]

no

[paksenarrion2.livejournal.com]

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

[diemme.livejournal.com]

I think some of these reality shows just go on too long and lose any edge or interest they originally had.

Are those snow Daleks?

Your username reminds me I wanted to get a copy of Divided Allegience.

somebody has been kidnapping a neighbourhood's children

So the BAU gets called in.


All the children are alive and completely unharmed, because the unsub turns out to be a child trapped in an adults body who wanted someone to make snow castle with him/her. There is no murder, no maiming, no molestation, and even the unsub is gently taken into a home where he/she would be cared for properly.

Everybody lives!

Hotch was adorkable in his interactions with the bicycle woman.

There was an awesome Garcia moment when she was quizzing Rossi about whether Hotch had a new girlfriend and the rest of the team started talking about how long it takes widowed people to move on. (But weren't Hotch and Haley divorced? He wouldn't be a widower then) and then she's like "He's standing right there, isn't he?" There was another awesome Garcia moment when she started talking about the Rocky movies and Hotch said, "Penelope," sternly.

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

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

Its a very good, fangirly AAAAAAH. I love seeing them on-screen together.
Such cuties.

[kwerkee.livejournal.com]

I loved that airplane scene! And that last bit where Hotch threw JJ a look, got a chuckle out of me.

the rest of the team started talking about how long it takes widowed people to move on. (But weren't Hotch and Haley divorced? He wouldn't be a widower then)

Well, they've never felt 'divorced' to me. They still loved each other till the end. Plus, I think I saw Hotch wearing his ring after the divorce/her death.

[kwerkee.livejournal.com]

Although I do like the awkwardable Hotch/Beth moments (and rooting for Hotch to get laid), I'm suspicious of her.

Who brings their namecards along on their jogs? The cards were not in a wallet but tucked in her arm band. There's limited space in there and name cards are not necessary.

Either she's a spy or a daughter of a recently-dead unsub. /calling it

[kwerkee.livejournal.com]

Agreed. The card thing seemed off.

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

[annievh.livejournal.com]

i don't really see th eromantic interest going much further than a couple episodes, but she is a lovely lady. i just don't see the potential there, at least no tyet.

[ravenboo.livejournal.com]

I was thinking they were channeling NCIS in that plane scene..only it was Hotch standing there instead of Gibbs LOL !!.

[nwjarvis.livejournal.com]

Not sure of the stereotype to which you refer... boxers are mentally ill? Or serial/spree killers are?

[nwjarvis.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They've been channeling NCIS waaay too much this season.

[a_blackpanther]

Oh, Hotch. I was in tears when he gave that "go be a father" speech. But Romantic Interest Lady is kind of... not terribly likable. And she doesn't have any chemistry with Hotch, which I thought was damn near impossible.

Also, Hotch, honey, if you want to date her, don't profile her.

[a_blackpanther]

I think that might be the plot of the next Doctor Who Christmas Special...

Re: $$$$????

[a_blackpanther]

Cast gets paid by episode, not by screentime in episode, though.

I was like "who the fuck has business cards while running?". She looks a bit shady to me, but that's just probably from having watched too much CM.

[chreesko.livejournal.com]

Hotch was totally adorable, and she is an awesome stalker! I love that she saw this hot guy around the park/gym and made sure she was totally prepared before she made her approach. I like that level of forethought and organization.

I feel like this episode has laid out all the ways in which my own picking-guys-up-at-the-gym technique has been lacking.

[fanantic.livejournal.com]

Well in that case, I definitely second that! I was hoping we'd get more Morgan/JJ interaction and backstory, considering that they were the two main agents working those 17 cases while Prentiss was 'dead'. I'll take what I can get though. They're two of my favorite characters, so any on screen time of them working together is always a good moment in my book :)

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

I think so, lol.
Its turned us all into cynics.

She said she's seen him in a suit. She probably has seen him around and finally built up the nerve to talk to him/ask him out.

[kandy-barr.livejournal.com]

We've got to give the writers some credit. They're trying to make us happy...really. And so far, I've loved how they've switched up the usual pairings and thrown in different ones like JJ/Morgan. It makes me happy :)

[annievh.livejournal.com]

I know!
Beth taught us so much!
:D
