HA! I feel I have slightly influenced you in breaking your silence in re: talking about CI and CM! I do not feel guilty about this. The rest of my flist needs to know we are out there ( ... )

I never said I thought Goren and Reid were similar personality wise because I don't really...though it really does bother me how similar some of the basics are of their backstories. I think with early CI you could see some similarities just in the akwardness they both can have and how little jokes and things like that get by them because they're so wrapped up in all these little facts, except Reid is in an evironment where his professional peers get him and he's more awkward socially, where early Goren we see more the opposite at times because he's working in an environment that isn't as open to his methods (i.e. Poison CI s.1 ( ... )

To me, Patinkin will always be Inigo Montoya goddessdster December 4 2010, 22:52:53 UTC
I just wrote an entire comment disagreeing with you, but then I thought, who the fuck cares? We bring our own perceptions, perspectives, wishes, and desires to the characters we like. So therefore when you and I watch any of these shows, we're each seeing something completely different. For example, you saw killing Haley as gratuitous, I saw it as a necessary plot point to move Hotch's character (much like Tara's death on Buffy - dead gay character aside) to a new level, or he was never going to change and grow.

And I don't care for S1 CM because I couldn't stand Elle.

Exactly -- that's what makes it fun to talk about. Who needs concrete truths like math and science.*Phf*

And I really didn't like Elle either. As far as Haley...I do appreciate the fact that they went for it because it was definitly a risk writing wise and I will say I was glued to the screen the whole episode...but I don't know. It was just so horrible...

And I haven't seen "Princess Bride" in forever. Though apparently ROUS are real! My mom was watching something and they had something on it about this jumbo rats the size of dogs.

Oh, I also totally get the looking for clothes despair. I hope you have a good time. Realize people want to see you and won't be judging what you're wearing as you will. Good luck with the hair (or good lucked - as I'm sure it's happened already!)!

And the hair cut went well. I'm excited. It's a short, slightly angled, layered bob.

Edit:

Because I have to share this with someone - I went over to Target and saw a novel called "Wuthering Bites" -- it's a re-working of Wuthering Heights under the idea that Heathcliff is a vampire. I was a little horrified. Then I bought it for my cousin because she's in to all the trashy vampire books, which is fine, but I still feel a little dirty...

Your hair sounds cute! You should post a picture.

I can't stand all those adaptations primarily because it is women's classic fiction that is getting adapted. I think there may be a Tom Sawyer or something now, but for a long time, it was Austen, Bronte, Alcott, et al, that authors felt they could corrupt with crap. Argh. Angry feminist is angry.

You know my big love is CI but I also enjoy watching Criminal Minds.

i love CMs. I wish that I had watched it more regular in past seasons. I love the ensemble cast. I wish that Garcia would go back blonde or even black haired!.

I try on clothes and then over analyze the way I look and take them off. I'm only ever happy in a pair of jeans. I guess if I was skinnier maybe I would feel different. :/

CM has a way of grabbing you and not letting you go...I'm still not sure why though...lol

I know what you mean about the clothes...

because humans are sadistic by nature maybe? That stuff allows us to participate in that lifestyle without actually committing the crime? that's the only explanation I have for it. LOL.

Well, I didn't really mean the subject matter -- I've always been attracted to dark/uncomfortable subject matter, which I figure is just a product of knowing too muchabout certain subjects at a too young an age.

I really just meant because of the quality of the show, which isn't partcicular high or lofty, but rather cliche and elementry.

Yeah, I'm a total snob about my TV and movies
