"I always use alcohol. It's less fuss, way cheaper."
It's been a fairly crappy week, so it's not at all surprising that when Thursday rolled around, I was relieved I could skip Swedish indulge in Criminal Minds and Paget Brewster hotness. Last week's picspam was so insanely enormous that this week I'm going to do the obligatory squeeing in ten points. With pics. Obviously.
In General:
- Interesting episode; I quite liked it.
- I'm amused by the number of similarities this episode has to my newest fic.
- For some reason I was completely freaked out by the opening sequence; I had to keep one eye closed, because the way it was filmed was downright creepy.
- Why was Morgan so adamant that the victims committed suicide?
10 Moments that Require Special Attention:
1. Moment of Cuteness.
The cutest baby ever! I want to pinch his cheek and prattle like an idiot while doing it. <3
But oh! The way he's left all alone in his chair makes my heart break.
Speaking of babies, I find it amusing that it's always JJ or Emily who interact with children, or who bring up the subject in conversation. Conclusion: JJ's baby is totally Emily's.
2. Moment When Emily Is Obvious.
Emily: [to Garcia] I'm looking for a drug that would temporarily paralyse or subdue someone. Not kill them, but give full control.
Garcia: Well, I always use alcohol. It's less fuss, way cheaper.
Emily: Eh, umm...
Ha! Again, insanely similar to my fic. I bet Emily has personal experience on the matter.
In general, Emily's interaction with Garcia was great in this episode; "Is there any possibility that while we've been talking, you've been multitasking?" ♥
3. Moment of Amusement aka Where Is Xena?
Although I knew Renée O'Connor would guest star, it's still squee-worthy to actually see her on screen. She's great in the role, but I wish she had more screen time.
4. Moment of Utter HOTNESS.
Emily's grey shirt + jacket combo? *dies*
I swear, I'll never get tired of seeing Emily in shirts like that. Even the fringe is okay in the second pic.
This scene also refers back to Reid's drug problem last season, which is absolutely brilliant! I adore it that this show doesn't forget what's happened in the past.
5. Moment of Brilliance That Is Garcia.
Garcia: [relaying info] Plus plus also and! I called Mr.Coroner and said 'How would you do this?', and he said 'By injections.', so I say 'Hey guy, wouldn't that leave a mark?', and he's all 'Hold up.', and...
I was trying so hard not to choke on my breakfast. This scene is ingenious! Again, perfect delivery by Kirsten Vangsness, and simply a spot-on Garcia monologue by the writers.
6. Moment of Femslashy Goodness.
For some reason Emily & JJ's interaction after interviewing the possible future victims reminds me a lot of that one scene in "Children of the Dark" ("What is she trying to prove?"). Maybe it's just the angle this scene's shot.
But again, notice the way Emily looks at JJ way longer than necessary.
There's something...wonderful in that scene.
7. Moment When the Fringe is OK!
This is how it should look like all the time:
YES. She should comb it to the side all. the. time.
Guh.
8. Moment of Kevlar Action.
Emily in kevlar is another thing I could stare at all day long:
Kevlar + hot shirt = me happy.
Again, the fringe isn't that bad when her hair's up in a ponytail. But I still want JJ to reach out and brush it off her forehead.
Oh, and I was so glad the woman didn't reach out to her son at the end of the scene. It would've been so corny and, frankly, unrealistic.
9. Moment of...hey! I've Seen this Before.
Flashback x 2, anyone?
Emily: Sometimes I just wonder...if we're actually changing anything.
It's ALWAYS Emily who doubts a) herself, b) the job they do, or c) everything else. Coincidence? I think not. If we don't get more Emily backstory soon, I'll go insane!
10. Moment of LOLz.
Emily's expression when Morgan speaks to her on the plane is hilarious:
It's more like a Paget expression, actually, rather than an Emily one, but it's hilarious nevertheless!
New episode already next week. Hurrah! The preview looks intense to say the least. And Emily sounds like a 15-year-old girl.
The Corrs fan in me squeed out loud the other day as I was marathoning through Season 1 of Dead Like Me: OMG, it's Caroline Corr! I don't know if it's hilarious or painfully pathetic that I immediately recognised the picture.
Oh, well. Back to Spanish it is. Past perfect subjunctive (and, as a matter of fact, the regular one, too), I hate your guts.
