Lightly shredded parts of my brain

I spent this weekend being blue. Yeah, sorta actively engaging with it, which is just plain silly. So I stopped. These things happen - I have a) recently completed a big story which always leaves me a bit out of it afterwards, b) folks I respect are grieving/having a hard time and some of that has transferred to me despite my best efforts, c) I've

The thing is that I really liked Callahan's family - they were good casting choices and I was happy to have a peek into a functioning family on the show. But I found the level of malevolence directed at Callahan by the human trafficker for a throw-away act that was mentioned in passing 20 episodes previously to be waaaay beyond the pale. Also, if her damned niece was so savvy as to attempt to manipulate her captor (and I call bullshit on that play), why would she not be wary of meeting someone she'd only ever texted with? Seriously, dumb shit is dumb. I just hope that they follow-up on the creepy math genius who gave himself up after turning Hotch's brain inside out in "Mr. Scratch", 'cause that is a big ol' juicy piece o' plot...

I really don't get the point of Ginger WASP at all, and she makes me so angry every time she's onscreen doing a lousy job of getting inside John's head that I want to sit her down, feed her a sandwich, and ask her if she got her medical degree from a school in the Carribean.

See, that's the thing, she taught her niece how to do all that and her niece still fell for that BS? She's not a naive kid anyway you cut it.

That's why I'm suspicious of Iris. This show has done a really good job with its female characters and yet we're supposed to believe this one would just throw all her principles aside to get involved with a patient? And while I can easily believe Reese might have one night stands and be involved with people like Zoe, who knows the score if not the details, I don't think he'd get involved with someone like Iris while lying to her. Nope. I don't buy it anymore than Zoe did. *g*

I KNOW! I mentally high-fived Zoe when she called John on his shit ;)

I just can't picture Iris being a Samaritan agent and, if she isn't, then what is the point of her? She's not around enough to get into trouble, and can we really see her being a useful asset if she ever got read into what Finch, Reese and Root are up to? Nope, no way.

It gets worse too because I feel like John only told Iris he'd tell her everything once it was over because he doesn't expect to see her again. It's like he's playing house or something.
