All right, I'm gonna do it

Ha. I knew you couldn't resist

Your comparison to the gas prices is spot on. I think I've been pretty open about the fact that my standards have been lowered with CI and Ive given up on being able to have in-depth conversation about any of the episodes that do meet my standards. This saddens me because I don't want to have lowered standards. I want my G & E and good writing too and I have definitely settled for just the G & E, who at the very least are more in character than they were. Sadly, when it comes to the actual story lines I pretty much tone out and pretty much just look at VDO and KE and go "pretty." I'm not proud of this but, while I thougt Loyalty was a piece of crap eaten and thrown up...I still was okay with them being done and gone. And I was ready to hate this season but then they were all shiny and this writing team at least is trying even if it still remains more like high level fan fiction than a true to form solid episode like those of seasons 2 & 4. So at this point I'm just hanging on for the ride because I can't not...I am sickly attached.

I wonder if theres a 12 step program for this...

But hey we can totally have our own little discussion board via text....it might actually make me pay attention :)

I can respect that

Texting you during the episodes is the only thing keeping me from arghing myself into a migraine. I think my frustration stems from this self-congratulatory air about it all. I can respect your decision to just watch it for Goren and Eames. I wish I could do the same, but when the case resolution pisses me off, then they aren't Goren and Eames to me. Your comparison to fanfiction is spot-on.

Now I'm off to watch a (most likely) terrible CM season finale and try not to get irritated all over again...

So did CM annoy you as much as CI? I watched it and seemed okay, but I don't understand why they wrote off two of their female leads to replace them with a stoic mini me version of JJ and now have it look like they're bringing JJ back. But that little moment between Reid and Morgan when he teased him about working out was cute. I have to say you kinda sold me on that ship.

Oh, CM totally annoyed me. Let's not even start with the obvious "we haven't worked out our contract negotiations yet, so we're prepping the viewer that some of us may not return" storyline. You have a case that really isn't finale-worthy. And an unsub that shocks everyone at the end, so we never know her motivation, or why she hung out in the cages with the victims, or how she got those men to follow her lead. I guess they kind of blew their wad with Prentiss leaving.

Oh, and JJ's coming back, cool and all, but how did this happen? She wasn't given a choice about leaving, but she can choose to return?

Morgan and Reid are adorable personified. In my head, even if they see other people, they will always be in love.

I have to be honest I was only half way paying attention to CMs finale, but with their penchant for crazy ass crazy cliffhangers and threatening the lives of agents or having things blow up, it did feel like whoever wrote this episode was just like, "whatever." "fuck it I'm leaving next week anyway" sort of vibe to it.

As far as JJ, I wondered if she and Rossi talked about her coming back as a profiler...or a intern profiler or whatever you would call one in training and that would be the loop hole to get her back since it would still lose her old position and they are technically down a profiler.
