Welcome back to Profiling 101.

THE DAY HAS COME.

It's still hard to believe that my show is back to the way it used to be (and that I'm recapping it again). And, if possible, it's seems to be even better this time around - at least if the season premier is anything to go by. In other words, EMILY PRENTISS PWNS EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING (and gays things up in the process).

Criminal Minds 7x01 - The one in which JJ gets her girlfriend back, y'all. )

- JJ's such a HBIC whenever someone attacks the team. *points to icon* I adore that side of hers to bits.

- Reid's hair is definitely better than the awful mop-like do he sported a few seasons ago, but I have to go with Kristin on this one: it's still not good. :p

- I'm convinced that Morgan is an Emily/JJ shipper. He's witnessed Emily's hopeless crush from the beginning anyway.

- The scene where Emily appears at the doorstep of the briefing room, I didn't see Morgan's reaction as selfish in any way (although I still think he's a bit of a douche); he just seemed absolutely overwhelmed by his emotions after seeing Emily alive again.

- If JJ doesn't kick Will to the curb, I'm going to have to cut a biatch.

I couldn't wait until my lunch hour to rush over here. Soooo fucking excited to have my girls back. That hallway scene just about killed me. I'm such a happy girl. That JJ was in contact with Emily this whole time does all kind of wonky things to my head. I love these two!!

I 'm so glad to be able to resume my CM ritual. Watch CM and then relive it through your femslash eyes the next day. Woo hoo....it's like Season 67 never happened!

Thanks girl!!

This episode was SO much better than I ever dared hope for. All the Emily/JJ cuteness and general awesomeness of Agent Prentiss completely floored me. *happy sigh*

Aww, I'm glad you're still enjoying the recaps! I definitely love doing them again. <3

The second Emily's face appeared in the credits I started doing a little happy jig that would have probably seen me shipped off to the funny farm if anyone had been here to witness it. Of course, after that I spend ever second until she appeared thinking 'Is she here yet?' and only really stopping for an appreciative 'Hmm, JJ's hot' comment or two.

This episode has to rank right up there with the most femslashy of the femslashy eps. Even more so now I now that they've been in contact this whole time and the big smiles and 'I wanna sex you up' looks weren't just because they hadn't seen or spoken in months.

I couldn't work out the mother's accent either. She sounded more English than Irish except when she sounded Australian. Very odd.

Strauss was unusually pleasant this episode and I rather liked that (it makes her far more interesting than just having her be the nasty every time).

Now I need to go back and re-watch the Emily and JJ scenes a time or two...

I would pay money to have seen your happy jig. *g*

It truly was one of the most femslashy episodes ever, and definitely the femslashiest in a long, long time (I don't think even "Lauren" quite mesures up to this one in that respect). I'm eagerly waiting to see where the show will go from here.

Well, I checked, and the woman who played the mother (Ursula Brooks) is from Australia, so we weren't too far off base. Slightly miscast, but...

It's fantastic that they're showing that other side of Strauss, because it makes her character more three-dimensional. She's not the usual black & white villain, which I love.

I have DVRed and will watch it again tonight

just 'cause I can

it's like a NEED

sigh...

and just b/c I'm an inquiring mind: have you ever thought of doing something similar with Lost Girl? Maybe not the subtext angle but something like all the snippets of Bo defending Lauren :)

I just had to watch the best bits myself before going to bed yesterday. Even now I'm tempted to flip through it, because OMG EMILY AND JJ.

As for Lost Girl, I've mostly let it be, because so many people on my flist do it better than me, and with gifs!

Oh, who is on your flist doing screencaps gifs for Lost Girl? I'd love to see it! :)
