I agree with you but try to hold on to hope. I think they needed to tie up some loose ends this episode but will get the ball rolling again soon. Personally I love the idea of an unsub hunting the team. It makes sense what with the nature of a lot of the unsubs that the hunted would hunt the hunters. I loved your fic by the way, read it all yesterday evening and enjoyed it greatly. I would also like to see the team put in more dire straits and Reid get more action. It would be great if they let two of the guys get together like maybe Reid and Morgan or something. Doubt that will happen but you never know, it would certainly add to the diversity of the team in a good way. Also think that instead of a linquist they should have added a criminal artist to the team/ a.k.a a physical anthropologist or cultural anthropologist ( ... )

Yeah, it's a great idea, but I hope they'll execute it well and make it clever, not repetative. Somehow the atmosphere of the show has changed in the last couple of seasons, and I can't help thinking that they're trying to please new viewers and it might not work for the older ones. I hope they're not going for the more simplistic choices ( ... )

Yeah like how it was in Corazon. When I say supernatural I meant phenomena that doesn't fit the establilished paradyme. (I'm a Biology major by the way.) A lot of science is still stuck in a materialist view and since a lot of the high strangeness (term for plethera of phenomena that tend to go together oddly enough) it makes it hard to make much progress in that direction. For instance its just as likely that our brains the apparatice/ mid-point through which our "soul" or whatever works through as it is that our brains are all their is. I do fanart by the way. Do you like stargate sg1? I have some fanart I've done for that fandom.

Well, I guess it also depends on what a person believes in. In his book The God Delusion Richard Dawkins makes arguments that the chances of something existing beyond our material world isn't 50/50 all things considered, and he has some valid points. In his opinion universe and our existence just doesn't need god etc. to be explainable. I have existential crisis' every now and then and sometimes there is the need to believe in some "more" than plain mortality - not in any god as such, but some continuity after death - but the need to be honest to myself overweighs that, and thus far the evidence in my eyes are more on the side of there not being any such thing as afterlife or something beyond. I'm not saying that I know - or even that I think I know - for sure that there isn't, for I don't, but since there really is not any way to know for sure (yet at least), I think it really is a matter of personal faith or analysis ( ... )

Hey hey their I never said anything about any god!!........Lol Richard Dawkins. I know the book of which you speak, but his arguments only really address the matter of god not spirituality. I never grew up with any religion so I don't really think in to terms of belief ( ... )

I'm sorry if I offended you or if some of the things I said sounded far out.

No, no you didn't :) I like discussing things and changing views, there's really no reason to offend/get offended. I've just been very tired and apathetic with life in general and my internet connection isn't living up to the expectations. Actually I should be getting a new one later this week but I'm not just ready to get my hopes up yet.

I know you weren't speaking about any intelligent designer (god) and were propably referring to secular spirituality or such, and were just thinking within the realm of possibilities which is always exciting. I just extended RD's writing to be about any immaterial things. That universe doesn't necessarily really need any such explanations to function, or to be explainable. I don't think that scientists, for example Dawkins, lack imagination, the capability to think outside the box. They just wish to follow the scientific principle and not be blinded in the course of discovery, whatever that may be. I appreciate that ( ... )

Sorry it took awhile to reply I got distracted by life, had a case of the shyness and had to think how to reply. Dawkins just kind of annoys me for lots of reasons first listen to another great audio book called the age of empathy. It talks about how his book the selfish gene made things hard for people studing emoutions in animals and also synical athiest dad likes him too much. Also his western bias is annoying.

With the paranormal its not about explaining anything. It just seems to be. However what all things paranormal have in common is that they defy explanation. Personally I think that once you eliminate the bs they may be phenomena that are just part of the natural world that we can not yet study. I recomend this radio show its fun. http://mysteriousuniverse.org/

Liked the last episode a lot. had some great morgan x reid momments.

heres some of my art.http://helendragon.livejournal.

Seems I got a habit of late replays... I took a dowfall with my drinking, had some trouble whilst quitting, but I've been sober now for few weeks and just trying to get things together again.

I didn't even follow the new eps after the 4th for I didn't feel up to it, so I watched 7 episodes in a row yesterday to catch up :) while I liked some eps, it doesn't really look that bright for H/R shipper. Unless one is a serious conspiracy theorist :D I mean the 11th had some eye contact scenes but at the same time it was the ep to deal with R & "his girl", and mentioned Beth. It almost feels like it's intentionally scripted to sabotage the ship, but I tend to get paranoid with things :D
