GAH.
Why the fuck do I do this to myself?!?!? I'm waiting for the latest Bones episode to stream, and I couldn't resist checking the spoilers to see who dies, because I am a masochist, or somesuch shit. OMG. VNM. No. I cannot. I mean, I totally thought it would be Sweets, and I'm thrilled that it isn't, because I love and adore and want to squishle him (squishle is my new word, it's a combination of "squish" and "cuddle", and it will be mine and it will be my squishle). But Vincent is my favourite intern! I love them all in their own way, but omg. I haven't even started watching yet, and I'm so damn sad! Not my Vincent. I'm hoping he isn't really dead, and that he and Emily Prentiss are secretly hanging out together and making each other laugh with their supreme skills of nerdness. Because OMG. You guys. Vincent.
BRB, crying until the end of forever.
Edit: Still crying, obvs, and wondering whether I should be blaming Friday the 13th for this shittery (okay, it's not technically the 13th here anymore, but whatever), but at least Criminal Minds is doing things that quell the tears ever so slightly. Shemar just signed a new contract, which is awesomesauce, because between him and Thomas Gibson, Shemar was the holdout who was worrying me. I read an interview with Thomas where he basically said "okay, everyone chill the fuck out, I'm not planning to leave, these negotiations always take a while, stop stressing", etc. That was reassuring to hear from him, but I didn't want to assume that he was speaking for Shemar too, so I was kind of scared that we'd be looking at a season seven sans Morgan. Happily, the chocolate god of sexiness will return next season, so now TG is the only one who still needs to get on board, and he's as good as told us that he will. So that's good news. The other peice of good (?) or perhaps not-so-good news, is that Paget Brewster's new pilot did NOT get picked up by the network. I know it sounds a little nasty to be happy about that, but now she's available to come back to Criminal Minds! No word yet on whether she'll actually do that, but there was apparently an interview in which she said she really wants to come back! I'm a little torn on this - on one hand, CBS treated her so horribly, I wouldn't blame Paget if she told them to stick it up their collective ass. It would have been kind of great if her new show had been picked up, and had trounced CM in the ratings, just so the CBS masterminds would see what they'd lost. But as an Emily Prentiss fan, I'm elated that she might come back, and that my team might be a family again soon! And I'm really, really hoping that Seaver can stay too. I don't know what it is, but I like that chick.
You know what, I think the television karma gods now owe it to me to let Emily come back. Seriously. If they're going to take my VNM, the least they can do is give me Prentiss and bring Vincent back too oh god please.
Edit again: Okay, I'm about ten minutes into the episode, and am doing my level best to valiantly hold my shit together, but VNM is being adorable and wearing dinosaur bones, so I may not be able to keep this charade up for long. The main point, however, of this edit is to note that this Special Agent Genevieve Shaw chick is not dissimilar to my OC who always turns up in all my plot bunnies in all my fandoms. Shaw is a little squeakier so far than my OC (whose name I never settled on. In all my fic notes - which, as I've mentioned before, will probably never see the light of day, because I can't bring myself to make people read about someone they may think of as a Mary Sue, even though she's totally not - people just call her "Rookie"), but it's starting to feel like the show writers are bogarting my plotbunnies. Hmm. I feel like I should keep an eye on this shit.
