Exactly. Just enough time to go 'yay - team! Off the clock!' and then Beth. Downer. :-(
It wasn't the worst ep. of the season (I still say that "honor" goes to the boxing-ep), but... yeah. It just grated on me that we spent so much time with the family and - hello? Remember your fanbase? We iz not stupid, thank you very much! - 90% of us had probably already figured out the whys and the wherefore's before we got that 'team sitting around a table, tossing out possibilities'-scene, where JJ says; "Maybe it's parents and a child." Which was where I felt completely bummed, because this is not the show I love! I love the show where the team gets to be smart and get smarter along the way by getting more clues and refining their profile - not just have a 30-second boring scene where they eventually tell us what we already know, because the show's already shown it!
Also... I love JJ, but when the heck did she get to be a profiler? Didn't I just see her telling the girl covering for her during her maternity-leave that the team can't know there's profiling involved in her job, because she's not a profiler? Am I supposed to believe that she took some classes while she was 'on loan' to the Pentagon? Or am I just supposed to have forgotten her job? Which, by the way, seems to be done by Garcia, these days, more often than not.
Meh. Whatever. You need to read the fic I finished today which I'll probably post in the next couple of days... ;-)
