premiere hotch speculation

[ohshiznaps.livejournal.com]

This was discussed briefly on the episode discussion post, but i felt it needed it's own as it could be a HUGE added pain for our beloved leader.

The reaper, Hotch... was there a rape? it was most definitely insinuated, but i felt it was more of a "wait, WHAT?!" moment that passed to quickly to get  a full read on the situation.

im thinking no. if it had, i feel they would have put in more content to support it. all we really saw was a stab that looked below the belt. and the reaper was still fully in pants through the whole thing. 

unless it's something hotch blocked from his memory...

does anyone remember what the reaper said to him? about stabbing being a substitute for sex?

  if this has been discussed or anything already, feel free to mod it up.

I don't think he could take the time to rape Hotch after stabbing him so much. His aim was to keep hotch alive long enough to get him to the hospital, the danger of him bleeding out while Foyet got his rocks off would be too high. I think Hotch's junk got sliced and diced :( which really sucks. Or maybe neither, maybe they had him stab his thigh....probably not though.

its kinda wierd to think that mutilation... down there would be easier for a tv show to deal with than rape.

as for the time, how long does one need to rape someone? its unzip pants and you're good to go. lol

Ah,m but here's the thing: Foyet had already stabbed himself in exactly the same way, so he had a rough estimate of exactly how long he'd have before the situation would become critical. I know everyone is different physiologically, but Hotch and the Reaper are about the same size/body type, so it's not impossible that the Reaper could have planned in time to rape Hotch, especially if that had always been his intent (to prove the profilers wrong that stabbing was always essentially a stand in for sex for those incapable of performing). Not only do I think it possible, I think it highly likely that Hotch was raped, based on Foyet's monologue. Why would he go on and on about how wrong the FIB is to insist that people who stab are impotent, unless he was taking real, physical steps to prove that he, at least, was not/i> impotent?
