Re: Reaction to Reid vs Hotch and Elle angst

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

One scene. One teeny scene, and that's all we get, along with Reid telling Gideon "I'm struggling" and Gideon not really saying anything. (Oh and Reid finally outbursting at someone, poor Prentiss...) And Hotch never talked to Reid about the drugs, since no one ever says 'drugs,' but he condemns his behavior in Elephant's Memory and tells him he'll fire him if he does it again. And I don't recall a scene with Morgan ever following Reid into a bathroom... there is a bathroom scene, though, where Reid locks himself in and pulls out the dilaudid and stares at it for a while...

That's just snippets though. I'm talking like this last episode, where Prentiss picks up Hotch and drops him off and interacts with him in his own apartment, and helps him. I want to see someone do that for Reid, and not just once. A whole episode about Reid's PTSD, for once. Lord knows the boy has it, after all he's been through. :/

Also, it takes two damn seasons for Morgan and Reid to have a serious talk about Hankel and how Reid actually feels about the whole thing. TWO. SEASONS. ?!??!!!?

Sorry. Reid is my all time favorite, ever. ;) I love Hotch, and yeah he's also been through hell, but don't downplay Reid's pain. He has it. :'( Still. I mean, if you really compare them... being stabbed/tortured for a few hours or being tortured/beaten/drugged/tied up for two whole days while having to save yourself... I'd go with neither, personally, but...

Sorry. Really. I'm uber defensive about my baby Reid-face!!! :D :D :D :D I loves him... :D
