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.

no subject
Date: Sep. 24th, 2009 09:12 pm (UTC)Clearly there was no obvious rape, but during that scene I kept thinking to myself "This is very very intimate, in a sexually murderous way."
And then as soon as Hotch told Emily that he couldn't remember anything after the first stabbing, I knew he had to be hiding something.
And with the Reaper undressing and taunting Hotch about how stabbing represents sexual penetration, it just made me believe even more that he ended it that way...
I just hope Hotch talks about it with someone soon. We know that he bottles everything up, but that isn't good for him. I just want to hug him :(
