criminalxmindsoops. i haven't posted my sort of rubbish scintillating reviews for a while.
i liked these two eps, therefore: i bring words.
1x16 the tribe
random observations: i totally forgot hotch had a brother. oops. the way garcia handed off her cleaning supplies to unnamed hapless guy so she good ogle sean? PRICELESS. the method of killing was super gruesome in this ep. yuck. bonus points: hotch has the opening quote! YES!
handy itemized list:
1. i love that reid knows all about war ritual killings of plains indians. [eddie izzard voice: like you do.]
2. garcia has heart-shaped post-it notes. *love*
3. reid's trademark HAND WAVE OF AWKWARD when he's introduced. it's interesting to me that hotch and gideon both shake hands with jane bear on the reservation, but reid waves. in fact, he almost always waves instead of shakes hands. hmmm.
4. i love how reid immediately starts whispering answers to the classroom questions. and then blurts out the answer in samuel's place.
hotch: is your name samuel?
reid: [awkward] sorry.
me: {{{LOVE}}}
5. it's telling how blackwolf calls gideon a professor and reid his student. it's an apt description.
6. i sort of heart john blackwolf in general. and his reason for not carrying a gun.
7. reid gets to start the profile!
8. i thought it was a nice twist that ingrid's dad had her kidnapped. i didn't see that one coming. then again, maybe everyone else did.
9. reid offering to speak to ingrid alone...and then her repeating her ss#. excellent scene.
10. some people have said hotch was too bad-assy in this ep. i thought he was a fine amount of badass. and i enjoyed hotch and blackwolf's dynamic.
11. hotch being extra hotchly with awesome on top by going to see sean at the end. AND SMILING. THERE WAS REPEATED HOTCH SMILING. ALERT THE MEDIA. JJ NEEDS TO HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE.
1x17 a real rain
i love this ep for a variety of reasons. it was interesting, creepy, but most of all it had REID'S EPIC FAIL WITH CHOPSTICKS. \0/ i felt bad for the unsub yet again.
helpful cheat sheet:
1. the opening scene on the plane when morgan and jj are razzing reid about never going to new york. poor little workaholic reid.
2. once again, we see that even though gideon is reid's mentor, hotch is the one looking out for him.
hotch: i thought you were going to talk to reid about vacation time?
gideon: what's vacation time.
me: *stern look at gideon*
3. the bau gang plays cards! yay!
4. hold up! reid's not wearing colored gloves yet. hmm. but he IS wearing booties which makes me strangely happy.
5. reid is in lecture mode during the profile. he's all business and there's not a bit of stutter or awkward. shallow: he's wearing one of my fav sweaters. <3
6. the unsub's finger tapping in the church was a nice, subtle clue. i didn't realize what it was at the time. well done, show.
7. reid hanging all over the dead priest's body to get a better look made me laugh. and also his ewww face and finger clench when the knife was slid from the victim's ear. mgg? you sir, are fairly brilliant.
8. reid has mighty knowledge ofeverything flint and egyptian mythology.
9. HOLD THE PHONE. GARCIA MADE HOTCH SMILE!
10. reid's in charge of the video presentation AND gets green screen time. \0/
11. okay. possibly the best scene ever. the bau happy family fun dinner tiem. reid's flying noodles and pitiful attempts to use chopsticks made me glee. and jj helped him. awww jj. you're like a big sistermuch to reid's chagrin.
12. elle admitting her frustration at rapists getting of. oh elle. dear dept. of foreshadowing, here is your gold star.
13. jj and morgan's glee over reid's chopstick malfunction. *cuddles everyone* reid knows who invented chopsticks, but he can't use them. such an awesome sense of togetherness here.
14. gideon and hotch's discussion on the courthouse steps re: taking the law into your own hands.
15. hotch's hotchy "watch your mouth" to the reporter who dissed gideon. *hearts*
16. reid is along on the arrest with his gun!he's growing up so fast.
17. letting us hear the voices in the unsub's head was a nice touch. i was hoping the unsub would live.
18. i loved how gideon and hotch BOTH had quotes at the end.
19. the creepy "on the street" quotes at the end made me sad.
study questions:
1. did you like john blackwolf?
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.
3. what are your favorite bau "togetherness" moments?
