Beethoven's nice, but J.S.Bach pwns all.
I have run out of Finnish liquorice. The end of the world is upon us. I try really hard not to think about the lack of Halva's Lakupalkki bags on my shelf and the fact that I need to survive until Christmas without any. Yes, my problems in life are huge.
Anyway, after a two-week-long mini-hiatus, we finally got a new Criminal Minds episode yesterday! This show makes me so happy, no matter how much crap the writers put us through. Besides, seeing Emily in kevlar makes it all worth while. That and the gayness.
Creepy unsub this week. Or, rather, creepy way of tormenting his victims. Also, are we to believe that the unsub doesn't rape the woman right away, but waits until the end, so that the cavalry can come and stop him? At first (when I saw the bruises on the poor woman) I was impressed that the writers actually went as far as making the unsub rape her, but then, in the end, it turns out that he only punched her a little.
...that probably makes me sound like a psychopath, but I hope someone gets my point.
Anyhow. Ahem.
Random points of awesomeness & something else ahead!
The opening credits. I nearly chocked on my cereal when I saw that they'd changed the clips of Emily.
THE FRINGE IS IN THE OPENING CREDITS. WHY, GOD, WHY?!
I guess we can give up the hope of seeing a fringe-less Emily anytime soon. *sob*
But back to the episode. Is it just me or is there a lot of victim storyline this week? Meaning that the couple in the cabin get much more screentime than the victims usually do. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's a noticeable change.
I like Emily & Morgan. The same way Emily is Reid's big sister, Morgan is sort of Emily's big brother. Or, they're BFFs who help each other pull women. Yes, I like the sound of that. These two just have a really sweet, banter-type of a relationship, which I love.
Reid: Hey, are you guys hungry? I know a pretty good Indian restaurant that's open all night.
Emily: Well, I can't. I have a date.
Morgan: [glancing at his watch] You've got a date? With who?
Emily: My hot tub.
Morgan: Oh, now that sounds like a party.
Emily: [a totally superior snort] You're so not invited.
[Morgan slaps himself, feigning hurt]
These two are terrific together - in a very, very platonic way, of course. And I admit it, I was actually holding my breath when Emily said she has a date. I'm a shipper, I can't help it.
Speaking of shipping, before our agents manage to flee the bullpen, JJ strolls in with her huge stomach and crushes their plans. Cue Emily/JJ eye shagging. And how hilarious is the way Morgan stands?
JJ: I'm glad I caught you.
Emily: Is everything okay?
[eye shagging & Emily looking gay...er]
How very appropriate that it's Emily who's instantly on her toes.
The femslash continues as the team boards the plane and JJ puts headphones on her belly. Emily is instantly enchanted, while the others are still engrossed in their own stuff.
[JJ puts the headphones on her stomach]
Emily: [gently] JJ?
JJ: It's so that the baby can't hear.
Emily: [nodding] What's he listening to?
JJ: Beethoven.
Reid: I, personally, preferred Mozart myself. But be careful to limit his exposure to one hour a day. [Emily frowns] Amniotic fluids have a tendency to amplify sound.
JJ: [pause] Thanks for the reminder, doc. [grins widely at Emily]
Am I the only one who sees the irony of the whole thing, given that Beethoven was deaf? Anyway, as much as I don't care for the pregnancy storyline (and how come JJ's still flying? She's supposed to give birth in a few episodes!), I have to admit that this scene is very sweet. The way Emily always is around JJ is completely adorable.
Random notion of the week: Garcia looks really lovely (or, should I say, even more so) in this episode.
They should give her way more screentime, though. I read somewhere that Garcia gets to go on the field in a few upcoming episodes, so I'm really looking forward to those!
But oh. Emily in kevlar. How can one be so insanely gorgeous?
...the hotness is overwhelming. And how gay is Emily's stance in the last cap?
Actually, Emily's whole wardrobe is quite gay again in this episode. This, then, leads me to my final point which, unsurprisingly, is that Emily Prentiss is the gayest hottest character ever.
Emily flashing her badge never gets old. In fact, she should do it every week. Multiple times.
Perfection, people. Perfection. ♥
All the compulsory studying plays havoc with my fandom activities. There's a new Rush episode waiting to be watched, and I'm so tempted to abandon everything else & do just that, but all the books I need to read for my essays (which will kill me, by the way) are glaring at me with malice. I shall bribe myself to study, using an incredibly effective incentive called chocolate.
But before I go, have some comedic brilliance á la Stephen Fry:
It's so book.
