I'm here in Canada and watched it last night. All I really have to say is Oh. My. God. I thought everything was going to get all wrapped up within half an hour and was actually like "Okay, cool, now what?" But NO. Ugh. And that ending, and knowing that there is a month hiatus, just makes me crazy.

I'm so anxious to see this episode. But are you serious? A whole month without new episodes? Ughhhhhh. That sucks! I'll never understand the long breaks during the season, when I thought that's what summers are for.

Ditto from another Canadian - that long wait is going to be murder! (Or else I'm going to forget what was going on, and go 'huh'?) However, it was worth watching anyway, I thought.

[missyliss89.livejournal.com]

Definitely worth watching. It was intense right from the beginning.

I knew from the get go, this Bidwell guy wasnt the stalker.

Really enjoyed the episode.

Sad that we did not get an ending quote.

That sort of cliffhanger ending doesn't really leave room for an ending quote; there was none for "Lo-Fi", which left the audience on a similar "To Be Continued..." note.

Rossi? David Rossi is the coolest, most sarcastic guy ever! So cool1 :-)

A month is just ridiculous but oh so common these days. Tries viewer's patience for no reason.

I thought last night was very well written. I figured Bidwell for a ruse but I like how it played out. I was a bit confused in regards to the stalker as I had missed some of s8. Going to catch up over the hiatus. The ending of the episode was a HOLY SMOKES moment for sure. Love the team's reaction to all of this. Was it me or was Reid just a little slow on the uptake? I need to rewatch. I keep hoping for some more fall out from Maeve and keep getting disappointed. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Reid wasn't his best today. Maybe that's what we're supposed to take as "fallout"? You know, his mind's not really on the case or something…

Interesting link.

I read that we will see more direct fall out regarding Maeve later in the season. Here's hoping. I look forward to MGG playing that and to the overall team dynamic. I really like how these characters come together in crisis. It feels very natural most of the time.

Ugh, I really hate the fact that I will have to wait a month for a new episode. The room with the photos was creepy.

That was one of the best episodes of the season so far. why is there a month hiatus? That really sucks.

[periantari.livejournal.com]

SOme people on facebook are guessing really ridiculous possibilities like Gideon or Elle... i don't think it's an FBI agent but someone close enough to be there to take pictures when they're on the road...and stalking them like it's second nature.
I was half expecting the episode to close with them being all trapped there...that would be an even better cliff-hanger :P

[missyliss89.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of 'Mayhem' from season 4 with the bomb, and kept yelling at the television because I thought the phone (and then the cd player) would explode.

[periantari.livejournal.com]

That one is a great episode-- i think i saw part II though not part I... good call to go find it and rewatch it. :)

OMG It's Kevin!!

I'm kidding, mostly. I can see where they'd get it from tho ... the 'old school' and chess references. It'd be sooooo lazy and eye roll inducing so I really hope they don't go there (and I can't see Gideon copying new cases, I know the writers are probably using 'fresh' ones, but it doesn't fit with either character ... like if the cases were from season 1 or 2 or something it would make more sense)

They wouldn't necessarily have to get close enough to be seen to get photos. Those crazy huge lenses paparazzi use can get decent images form pretty amazing distances.

… the poor bastard who pilots the jet?

[meepalicious.livejournal.com]

Aw, damn. I should have called that one from the title. I fill out carbon forms about once a month; they never make just one duplicate.

I'm glad Bidwell wasn't the real stalker. I thought that would be so boring, because it looked like an awfully stupid, flimsy reason for such an over-the-top crime spree… It's gotta be something good, but too bad we won't know for another three weeks.

[eiko82.livejournal.com]

I bet the Replicator threatened Bidwell's kids and that's why he committed suicide.

Can't believe we have to wait a month for more episodes. Boo! Tho I'm also very curious to find out who the stalker will be eventually.

Am I the only one that thinks it could be that coroner?
