Hello! I've swung by to comment even though I haven't actually watched the episode yet. My internet is being completely bullshit (no idea why... but I'm downloading House at the moment and it's going at 2kb/s and currently is aiming to finish sometime in 2010 or whateverthefuck. Sadly, apart from the cake scene, I don't really remember this ep as it's obviously not one of the ones I went back and obsessively rewatched from season 1 (LDSK, anyone?!). So I'll just comment on what you've posted, because I don't want to wait :-), and then when I get my DVDs and watch the episode, I'm sure I'll have something to say on what it was about. In fact, my internet sucks so hard that not all the photos in this post will actually properly load (so I'm seeing an awful lot of Reid's forehead). But anyway!
I grew up in a house with mismatched door-handles. It does happen :-D But in this case, it's probably a consistency fuck-up.
I LOVE THE CAKE SCENE. If there was one thing I could change about this show, I would give the team heaps more scenes like this, where they are all hanging out together doing seemingly "normal" things (only they can never be completely normal because they are all such fucking Hot Messes, but whatev :-D). I am ambivalent about the "Spence" thing... I agree that it's a little awkward, but sometimes affectionate nicknames do sound a little awkward, but you say them anyway because they mean something. I'm not a JJ/Reid fan either though. I mean, I love 'em both, but they seem to have about the least in common of any possibly pairing on the team. I can even see him with Elle (both kind of damaged) or Prentiss (both kind of nerdy and emotionally retarded), or Garcia (in some ways, almost kindred spirits) before JJ... And you I'd prefer to have Reid banging a dude anyway... lol (on that note - I just watched the cake scene on Youtube, and when Reid goes over to talk to Hotch and Gideon, he and Hotch totally give each other the eye... shhhjustletmehavethismoment).
God I kind of miss Reid when he was less worldly and younger and slightly less damaged. He was pretty goofy and hilarious.
Also? Morgan stealing all the pink... DNW, lol. Also, I prefer him sans hair.
Oh, and no offense taken about Elle at all. In fact, I think the main reasons I love her are that (a). Lola Glaudini is smoking and let's face it, I would, and (b). I have read some awesome Elle fanfic (I have this thing at the moment about Reid and Elle having hot dirty sex and then breaking each others hearts and Elle being an alcoholic, but let's not go there) and I kind of adore fanon Elle. So I love her, but I see what you mean.
Sidewalk is misspelled.
Storm spots ridiculously random error... Drink!!! Lol.
I can't see the picture of Elle in her jammies (stupid internet), but I really wish I could. And the Reid needle comment - amazing! I must remember that.
I love the look of season one Reid so much that I actually fear for my taste.
Ohhhhh, I really hate to be a Gideon-hater (but I am! Yikes), but I (obviously, because I am a hater) was pissed at him giving Reid the tickets. It's like, (a). Reid doesn't even like sport, so Gideon is trying to push Reid into a "normal" dating experience despite the fact that Reid is far from normal (in a good way) and will probably not even enjoy it (but maybe feel pressured to enjoy it because Gideon, his mentor, said he should) and (b). JJ is a fucking team member and it's totally going to end in tears, but clearly Gideon doesn't think of the carnage he's potentially causing because he never does. I don't see it as that different to Morgan setting Reid up with random bar tender (except of course that Reid semi-voiced an opinion on JJ himself, whereas Morgan of course picked bar tender girl for him). But I feel like Gideon is going, "Here, take this hot, blonde, apple-pie girl on the sort of date that normal, American men like, because maybe that will make you normal, even though you are pretty much doomed to failure." I'm not saying that he meant it with any malice (I'm sure he didn't), but he didn't really think very hard.
Argh, fuck. OK, going sip on my haterade and move on now. I am aware that at face value, Gideon just did something nice.
And as for Hotch? (Apart from putting his [REDACTED] in Reid's [REDACTED]... haha, j/k). Well, I guess he did encourage Reid to go back to NA (which hopefully helps in his dating future?! IDK). And he chose to not fire him on more than one occassion (including, as he admits to Prentiss, when he knew about the drugs). Also, he teaches Reid to shoot. And doesn't try and encourage him to have relationships with team members. And he did kick the shit out of him that one time... oh, wait :-D But yeah, jokes aside, you're right - Morgan has taken on most of the responsibility for Reid getting laid. I like that. Although I think Emily should help out more.
This is a completely random aside, but I'm positive Morgan and Elle had sex at least once.
OK, I am going to stop rambling and leave you alone now. Wait, that's lie, I'm going to go talk to you on Twitter. But still. It's the thought that counts.
P.S. I really hope this comment isn't too hater-y about poor Gideon (really I'm still just bitter that Mandy walked out). I will show up with more haterade to pacify me next time there's a season one ep :-D
(which hopefully helps in his dating future?! IDK).
I think no longer being an addict will certainly help him get laid, at some point, maybe, if the story ever gets there....... :P Score one for Hotch!
And doesn't try and encourage him to have relationships with team members.
But if Hotch doesn't encourage this then how will Reid realize that Garcia & Morgan are his soulmates and live happily ever after together You're right.
his is a completely random aside, but I'm positive Morgan and Elle had sex at least once.
Can i just say that I lol'd even harder the second time around reading this so I could reply.
I grew up in a house with mismatched door-handles. It does happen :-D
I didn't want to rape the page w/ caps and my internet was being a whore and not reducing them, but the episode shows the unsub grabbing the oval knob, cuts to the chick w/ the round knob, then cuts to a shot of what's supposed to be the inside of the room w/ the chick & the unsub turning the oval handle on the other side. So it's def a consistency thing. :P
when Reid goes over to talk to Hotch and Gideon, he and Hotch totally give each other the eye... shhhjustletmehavethismoment).
lmfao irl. *sits quietly for a moment*
God I kind of miss Reid when he was less worldly and younger and slightly less damaged. He was pretty goofy and hilarious.
Oh god I agree entirely! I was watching this and thinking to myself that how bittersweet it was to see Reid when his only real worry was getting a date. Poor guy. ='(
Morgan is def better without hair.
I have this thing at the moment about Reid and Elle having hot dirty sex and then breaking each others hearts and Elle being an alcoholic, but let's not go there
Believe it or not I can totally see this happening.
As I was making this I was thinking the same thing about the drinking game, ngl. :P
I really enjoyed your take on the Gideon thing, no sarcasm, I really enjoyed it. I never thought about it that way. And I think I agree with your points here. The more I read it, the more you're right. Reid didn't even know it was football, which was cute. But, I think maybe Gideon meant for it to be that way so that way maybe Reid could be the student for once and have JJ teach him about football. But I still see Reid not enjoying it because he wouldn't understand the need for grown men to beat each other for fun.
We've both obviously spent way to much time thinking about this, lol.
