Yes! An ep with sparkling vampires. Awesome :)

[jasperhale007.livejournal.com]

Even, though the sparkles were ugly. Heh.
But Jackson would probably be prettier then RPatts.

[0justanothergrl.livejournal.com]

Holy motherballs, I did not see that ending coming.

[xx-shelly-xx.livejournal.com]

you saw it already?

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

I dozed off during and lost about 15 minutes, so I'll have to re-watch the ending. But I want to comment on Reid using a Terry Pratchett quote at the beginning. Major PTerry love!

[0justanothergrl.livejournal.com]

Haha. Me too.
I have a feeling I'm going to be imitating that at work tomorrow.

I have a serious respect for Jackson Rathbone's acting abilities now, though.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP. O_O

[arianna-noel.livejournal.com]

i knew before it aired what was going to happen.
hahahahahha i misjudged the woman part until i saw her at the beginning

[hilsongirl.livejournal.com]

Did he dazzle you? ;P

Free Adam! Really good episode, I love that this was more of a Reid episode.

- JACKSPER!!!! You're my favorite sparklepire.

- LOL Reid doesn't understand how regular college students work. "The letter I for Icky"

- "See white man go postal." Hee.

- MGG and Jackson are so hot. I AM BEING OVERWHELMED WITH HOTNESS.

- Reid you of all people should be able to spot a person with multiple personalities.

- I was just waiting for that flashback.

- Reid's always the first one to put his gun away, to try to talk things out.

- Jacksper in a dress and makeup. Oh, I can see the macros on ontd_twatlight already.

AHAHA so true.

aw, poor reid feelin' all responsible and whatnot :[
*huggles*

i didn't expect that ending at all, and i'm surprised mr. rathbone was so good! great episode.

[youidiotkid.livejournal.com]

i have to be honest though, the scene where they kept showing reid's and adam's eyes... and then the camera got closer and closer, switching back and forth... i was laughing hysterically.

[liliananyappy.livejournal.com]

omfg. the fact that they had Matthew AND Jackson
in the same room together was making it difficult for me
to focus, lmao, as i love them!!

this was a great episode!
i didn't get it at the beginning
i thought adam was actually missing :O!
jackson can ACT, man!

Poor Reid though, being all sad and such :/

[ohh-honeybee.livejournal.com]

YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO BOYS WITH "LOVE ME" PUPPY DOG EYES IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER MY HEART CANNOT TAKE IT.

And why the hell is Jackson Rathbone a prettier woman than I am? W. T. F.

[xx-shelly-xx.livejournal.com]

they looked like brothers!

[littledelusion.livejournal.com]

My reaction is here: http://littledelusion.livejournal.com/13222.html
Pretty much I just spazz about the awesomeness. :P

Re: A comment unrelated to Twilight

[a_blackpanther]

Yes. Best quotes used in a while.

[sidneym-88.livejournal.com]

Even though I had everything pretty much figured out about five minutes into the episode, I really loved it. Matthew and Jackson were amazing tonight.

[maisontv.livejournal.com]

OMFG JULIA SUGARBAKER IS MY MOTHERFUCKING IDOL.

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

I totally called transvestite at the beginning or drag, but I did NOT see that coming.

Oh Jackson, you always surprise me when you're so good.

[madeofsequins.livejournal.com]

oh, reid.

[sleepysunshine.livejournal.com]

I kinda hope this doesn't become a huge issue for Reid and do something crazy like bring back his drug problem. Because he's doing so good at staying sober (how long has he been sober btw?) I also don't want him feeling so guilty about the Adam/Tobias thing. I think I'm just ready for him to find me a steady woman. I also personally loved the Reid/Morgan moment on the roof.

OH the way Hotch called for the medic made me choke up a bit because it reminded me of Mayhem. (and that's one story line I wish would come back. What the hell is up with Hotch's hearing? I never got any closure for that.)

[liliananyappy.livejournal.com]

You know, you're right about the Reid returning to his drug problem thing :/
Poor guy, puts his heart into cases like these *tear*
Let's think positive :D!

[irvys-sefie.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why, but I totally saw like...everything coming this episode. I figured that the interview with the "where's Adam" had to do with an alternate personality (which...they really shouldn't have given that away in all the episode descriptions because that totally spoiled the whole thing IMO) and that the "she" Reid was interviewing was really Adam and I even called Reid flashbacking to Tobias and stuff. I've mind melded with the show!

I still loved it though, naturally!

[batgurl88]

Yeah, they spoiled too much of the twist in the press release this time around. And a lot of the twists were a bit obvious, but I suspect it is more because we've seen them pull so many twists in the past that we're always suspicious lol.

I'm glad they did do the flashback/Tobias talk, though. I was worried they'd just ignore the similarities, or that at most we'd get a meaningful look from Reid or from one of the team in Reid's direction (wouldn't be the first time they'd bypassed potential for some previous storyline callbacks), so actually having the flashback and the discussion was a real treat.

[setos-puppy.livejournal.com]

I finished watching this episode for the third time and I cannot stop flailing. This episode left me SPEECHLESS! I had never seen the actor for "Adam" before as I am not a fan of Twilight and had no idea he was in it. *lives in own little world*

It was GOOD!

I suspect there will be much Reid contemplation fic from me.

[jasperhale007.livejournal.com]

I will never look at the picture of Jackson on my phone the same ever again. But he did outstanding my mom came home late from work and she loves Twilight and I was like nope get out if I talk I'll spill it all, I can't shut up about it. I wanna know what reid will do, but I could tell that was Jackson at the beginning his chin gave it all away, ha.

[jasperhale007.livejournal.com]

Well, and he has a distinct chin, seriously. It wasn't hard but he still made it awesome and CM's just awesome in genral.

[hilsongirl.livejournal.com]

Jason Alexander should stay away from this show. I didn't believe his performance on Masterpiece and his directing here was awful. I've never see this amazing cast act so badly before.

I love Jackson's "Amanda" though

[cpolk.livejournal.com]

I wasn't happy with this episode either. I thought it lacked the qualities that make the show thoughtful in favor of sensationalism about four too many times.

the unsub was a very good actor, though.
