Well, that's 40 minutes I'll never get back.
I still cannot deal with the Warehouse 13 finale. I just can't. How can an episode be the GAYEST thing (seriously, holy fuck) ever, but, at the same time, have me sobbing uncontrollably, because the ending was simply unfair & Myka and H.G.'s love is just so pure and epic? Like I said, can. not. deal. Ugh.
Now, Criminal Minds, that's something I can actually wrap my head around. And what I gathered from this week's episode is that it was, quite possibly, the most boring 40 minutes to date. Ugh. Oh, no wait, there was that one episode with the unsub who fed his victims to the pigs. Now that was a train wreck. But, unfortunately, "Dorado Falls" isn't far behind.
Right, so first of all, this must be one of the most far-fetched plots in the show's history - and that's saying a lot. A former Navy Seal who's suffering from a mental disorder caused by a car accident a couple of days earlier; he now thinks all people in his life are impostors, because some nerve connection between his receptors of sight and brain is severed. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
His shooting rampage is pretty brutal, though, I have to say.
Anyway. We kick of the "good" stuff with Emily arriving to work. She's as hot as ever.
Yum.
So, inside, she bumps into Morgan who's in a suit for some reason (random!), and apparently, Emily brought him a cup of coffee (again, random!).
Morgan: Oh, look at you, spoiling me. Thank you! Where's yours?
Emily: Oh, I quit caffeine. Trying to relax more.
Oh dear. The frown Morgan's sporting says it all really. God, quitting caffeine would have the exact opposite effect on me; I could never relax. As a matter of fact, I can only write this recap at the moment, because I've already had a mugful of strong coffee at breakfast and a homemade ice coffee just now (with hazelnut flavour syrup! I don't know why it was so important to share this with you!). So yeah, I could never, ever quit.
But I digress. The BFF-ness continues.
Morgan: Don't relax too much, you've got ten hours of take down at the res procedure training to recertify.
Emily: Since when?
Morgan: Well, since the hearing.
Emily: Am I the only one?
Morgan: Prentiss, you've been away.
Emily: Oh, yeah. Guess I can't complain.
Morgan: Well, especially to your trainer.
Emily: Oo, you're doing it??
Morgan: Don't get too excited. I'm about to put you through the ring, you can believe that.
The look on Emily's face is priceless. Also, I just really, really love these two and their perfect BFF-ness. ♥
Another thing I simply can't get over is this new image JJ has. It's like she burned her entire wardrobe and replaced everything with a butchier option. And that watch! She totally snatched it from Emily, I'm convinced.
HNNNNNNH. THANK YOU, GOD.
But Emily still knows how to do the gay stance as well:
I still can't believe this hotness is back on my screen!
The next scene, I so want to know if the dialogue is the way it is on purpose, or if it's simply an amazing coincidence.
Emily: Did [the unsub] ever mention 'Dorado Falls'?
Unsub's wife: No, what is that?
Emily: A mission he was on.
Unsub's wife: He didn't share that part of his life with me. Luke was always very good at compartmentalizing.
OMG, Emily & compartmentalisation! I want to know if the writers had a flashback to "Revelations" as well. Though, I do think Emily fans have probably made the meaning behind that Season 2 comment a whole lot bigger than it actually is. But I don't care, because here we are again! That couldn't have been accidental.
Right, so boring case stuff, I'm seriously falling asleep here. The team eventually figures out that the unsub is actually on his way to Quantico (long story), which offers an interesting glimpse at Emily's character.
Rossi: This was all part of his plan to find out who was holding his wife and daughter.
JJ: But you never said you were FBI.
Rossi: He saw the number I called from. He'd recognize an FBI prefix.
Reid: So, what, he's on his way here to Quantico?
Emily: I know the head space he's in, he feels all alone right now. There is no risk he won't take.
I wonder if she's referencing only to the events last season, or if there's something more behind that statement. In any case, it's a curious thing to say.
In the end, all is well, and the unsub is, of course, arrested. Didn't I tell you, the most boring episode ever! We end things with another Emily/Morgan scene, in which Morgan admits to actually making up the whole recertification training thing, because he's unsure of himself (refreshing) due to Emily's "death".
Emily: How can I make it up to you? I will do whatever it takes.
Morgan: Just give me ten hours of training.
Emily: Okay, you got it.
Morgan: Shooting range on Sundays.
Emily: I'm there!
Morgan: And my morning coffee and a neck rub everyday.
Emily: Oh, buddy, you're reaaally pushing it.
Eeee, the friendship these two have is simply golden. ♥
Next week: Someone wanting to relive a school massacre. Looks ominous.
Well, that was exciting.
Here, have a hysterical taxidermy "advert" which had me laughing forever:
"Look at that antelope driving a car!" // "Nope! Chuck Testa."
BUT OMG, THE WAREHOUSE 13 FINALE, I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS.
