A question (answered) on Emily and JJ

[dysfunkshunell1.livejournal.com]

This was over on Fancast

This season on ‘Criminal Minds,’ it appears that JJ and Emily have switched roles in regards to how they’re responding to the cases they’re taking. In the past, Emily was more controlled/compartmentalized and JJ more emotional. Is the switching of roles intentional or perceived? – Shawn

Responding on behalf of the show he created, Ed Bernero says, “I’m not sure we agree that their roles have changed. JJ, though she has always been ‘tougher’ than anyone else, was always the character more apt to display compassion, because it is part of her job to do the most interaction with family and with stressed cops. As far as Emily, we think she’s still the tough, controlled cop she always was, though as an only child she’s becoming much more used to operating within the family and caring about other people – i.e. the team.” Sounds like “perceived” to me, Shawn.

I'd have to agree on 'perceived'. I haven't seen a switching of roles. In fact, I've seen a lot of similarities among the ladies for some time now, unlike the fellas on the team. I think both women have had a lot happen on the job. Emily was probably a lot better at compartmentalization in the beginning (Revelations) because she didn't go through half the stuff she's been through since joining the team.

And hey, that answers any question about whether Emily has any siblings! =)

This has actually been going on for a while, but I just now realized that some of you might be interested in it. There's 37 pages of prompts, including some Criminal Minds, and I would love to see more Criminal Minds writing going on. Basically, it's a free-for-all ficathon, except that the answers have to be three sentences (defined as ending with a full stop, which has resulted in one 500-word, 3-sentence fic.) You can click on the banner to get to the ficathon itself, or go here for the delicious account where grim_lupine has been compiling all the prompts.

(I'm 99% sure this is okay, but if it's not take it down.)

If I was a criminal, I'd be... I wouldn't be a criminal. I'd be the one helping to catch 'em. ;)

Anyway, I hope I didn't ramble on to much.

Also random- ILU Hotch. You are so badass.

Favorite Color: Gold.
If I was a criminal, I'd be... someone who would travel many states from my home, murder citizens at random and leave some sort of signature (whether it's how I killed them or perhaps a mark), before returning back home. And of course, be badass enough not to get caught for a bit and then have an epic showdown with the BAU at the end. Whether I live or die I can consult with the directors when we talk about me starring on the show. Obviously. ;)

Alright. So. I'm so excited I found this place. It's made of awesome win. <3 And I'm a fic-writing whore (a lot so for Hotch/Reid, hee, they make me giddy), so I fully intend on bombarding you people and other communities, as I've finally decided to stop stalking them all and come out of hiding, with some. u______u YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ME.~

Question about kids

[annievh.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was watching one episode with a child abducted and they stated again that 99% of children that are abducted are killed within the first 24h. This kind of scares me, such a high statistic.

Is it true?

DVD issues

[meg-tdj.livejournal.com]

Has anyone else had a problem with their season 4 DVDs?

I just got them for Christmas, and the first disc is completely defective. As soon as I put it in the player, instead of showing the usual warnings and logos and going to the menu page, it heads right into Mayhem. If I click on the menu button during the ep it does pop up, but no matter what I click on from there, it won't play anything but Mayhem! Anyone else have this problem, or is it just my luck? I'm SO asking for a refund.

ETA: Looks like it's just me. Thanks, guys!
