Time for speculation. Again.

The first promo pictures for Season 4 of Criminal Minds have finally surfaced, and I, naturally, spoiled myself silly. The writers are either trying to trick us into believing one thing & ignoring the other possibilities, or it's the biggest cop-out in the history of television. You decide:

Fantastic, let's be shallow together. *g* I seriously think I could take absolutely anything from the writers, as long as I get to see Emily every week.

Oh my gosh Can those Norwegian two get *any* cuter? Seriously. There is a whole heap of kapow going on and my little heart goes to mush. I *love* them and they've got me watching Handball!!!

[lysachan]

They're the cutest thing. The fact that I know they're canon for real makes it even better. <3

And eee! Hope you're having a wonderful time in NZ!

Whoot awesome handball gayness! I agree; the whole Norwegian team is great to watch; I really hope I can catch a match or two! Or d/l them later.

The goalie is the best I reckon. She's so into it. She gets all frustrated and stuff when she misses a save... for some reason, it's really amusing.

I love it that Gro & Katja two feel comfortable enough to act all cutesy and "normal" in front of cameras. ♥

So great that you've been able to see some of the matches! Katrine (the goalie) really is marvellous; seeing her play always makes me smile. She's so...adorable.

Well... looks like it's the fake!Hayley. Figures that they didn't have the guts to blow up any other the regular cast members (in a non-lethal way of course).

[lysachan]

OMG, you're alive! <3

Re: Criminal Minds, I feel somewhat cheated. If it turns out that only the fake!Haley gets injured, I'll be majorly disappointed.

Finally time to reply, and I apologise if I repeat something has already been said seven times, but I really don't feel like reading through 37 comments. *g*

Conclusion: they're either cleverly trying to convince us that she's the one hurt, while another member of the team (who is not in the pictures) will blow up as well. Or, it's the biggest lacklustre plot twist ever, and they're counting the fake!Haley as "one of the team" (Ed Barnero's words, not mine).I have a feeling it's going to be the latter. I think the fake!Hayley was in the car with Hotch, and since he also looks slightly injured, it probably really is her. And where all the other cars close enough that Hotch could look like this even if it wasn't his car that exploded? And really, shouldn't her body look all burnt after an explosion like that

[lysachan]

I have a feeling it's going to be the latter.

Same here, in which case I'll be very disappointed and feel cheated. The only other option I could come up with was that not one but two SUVs blow up. Hotch definitely doesn't seem to be in bad shape (unlike the fake!Haley), so how is it possible he was in the car (we clearly saw them both getting in)? Something stinks, which, then, makes me think that they're simply playing with us. *fingers crossed*

As for Josh Stewart, I wonder if they simply forgot to include him in the list

It'd be odd if they did. But, like you said, he definitely should be there, dead or alive. Then again, if JJ's car blows up, there might not be much of him left... The thought makes me almost giddy. I'm a horrible, horrible person.

Re: Jennifer, JJ's always been "Jennifer" in the press release for some reason. It's weird. I think I'm going to go with your explanation. *g*
