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 think the writers purposefully left it ambiguous, so they can either return to it later on or not mention it again if the whole male rape thing gets the thumbs down from the network. I definitely think it was perfect the way it was written, though. I was on the edge of my seat and squirming the whole time, and I think if it was any more explicit, it would venture just a little bit too far for me.

Of course, they're evil geniuses for doing this, because now I'm hooked in for the rest of the season to see how this plays out. Sorry, Glee. :[
