I gave some serious consideration to turning off my TV a minute or so before the episode was over (when everything was wrapped up in an unhappy little ball). That way I could have saved myself from the suspense of the cliffhanger I knew was about to be created.

Well since it went to black *before* the shot I can hope (pretend) that it was a warning shot into the wall *next* to his head. Or! But I seriously doubt Hotch has the kind of reflexes necessary to get to and fire the backup in his ankle holster...

I am going to spend the next few months coming up with increasingly elaborate scenarios that involve Hotch being okay.

Also, what's with messing up Hotch on season finales? This is two in a row. It seems a pattern is emerging.

But he does have the necessary reflexes to at least move out of the way. You know he did. And like I told my mom: there will be an ensuing fight (and Hotch will kick his ass).

Or Reid will shoot the guy since he and Hotch seekritly live together.

with Morgan

Trufax.

What if Morgan gives the guy the beat down while Reid cuddles a distraught Hotch?

Yes this. Besides, Morgan owes someone the rest of the beat down that the random hunter got the first part of.

Wait! Hotch is at MORGAN'S HOUSE!! The Reaper already has Morgan's ID and address! my brain can totally make this scenario work

OH MY GOD! DUH! WE ARE SO STUPID!

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

YES.

And of course Morgan has to tackle him. That was the shot. The guy fired it into the ceiling when he was surprised by Morgan tackling him.

And then Reid and Morgan and Hotch get into a hot air balloon and fly away.

Well obviously Hotch has a super secret defense shield around his body that Reid and Garcia designed together to protect him.

It's powered by his glare and overflow Hotchalanch energy. harnessed For Great Justice!

I choked on my drink. God. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

No, it's three in a row for messing with Hotch. At the end of season two he gets "fired," remember?This is just the second in a row for bodily harm. :P

Wow, I totally forgot about that.

Now I'm going to be expecting it for season 5. It's like going to an M. Night Shyamalan movie, I'm going to be expecting the twist. But at least with CM it should be enjoyable.
