Yes, good solid character. No BS, no faffing about the place - he was all business! I really enjoyed his explanation of the tracking methods he used, based on both instinct and close attention to his surroundings, it contrasted (and blended) nicely with the routine profiling methods used by the BAU pack. His dry humor/observations (was it even humor??) - most enjoyable! :)
2. why do you think reid rarely shakes hands? is he uncomfortable with the physical contact. from his hug track record, i'm tempted to say yes.
The minute I saw this Q. (great one!) I thought of the surgeon, Landman, in L.D.S.K, who refused to shake hands with anyone because his hands were the tools of his trade - "the hands, you understand?" Obviously, this can't account for Reid's aversion to pressing the flesh. He could be a germ freak who's afraid of catching bugs from strangers, but that doesn't fit either. From a psychological point of view *pops ridiculous psychologist hat on*, you are probably spot on - he's just shy and finds some forms of social contact difficult. Poor little lamb. Another theory, before I analyze this to death - typically, it's the dominant person in an interaction who proffers a hand to shake, as it demonstrates confidence, taking control, etc. As someone who is usually the youngest and least dominant in these interactions, it's just him not taking that leap?
3. what are your favorite bau "togetherness" moments?
Oooh! Yep, everyone's gonna say the bit where they share a meal in A Real Rain, because it really is the best scene of lovely, smushy togetherness: everyone's relaxed and joking, forgetting about the case for a brief while. Reid and his fight with the chopsticks!! :D Hotch asking Elle if she's seeing anyone - cutting in with split second precision when she starts complaining about everyone talking shop :) Gideon, as always, assuming the almost silent, yet commanding daddy-of-the-pack role :) *love*
