The One Where I Attempt to Speak Coherently

Mar 11, 2009 22:07

OMG, well I have been waiting for it for how long now and tonight was the night. I could barely make it through the day but I did and I saw it and its over now and I will attempt to be as articulate as I can be about what I just experienced.

( There are better places to take a girl for coffee )

It was so truly epic. I had actually forgotten that they never tied up the plot points about Spain until I read it here from you. I cannot believe all that just happened in one episode. I wonder if it will make mention in other episodes the way Reid's issues come up as a recurring theme as well as Morgan's. I hope so. I want to know more about the past of Emily -- not that I am a glutton for more sordid details or anything, but some more info making her more human would be good.

I agree Ed should have included the awkward hug. But that would just be too much for us all I bet.

When Garcia said "I'm pretty sure he lives here" ... I lol'd pretty good.

And good god, the look on his face when John Coolley was in the bullpen talking to Em. HOLY SHIT! DID YOU CATCH THE GLARE OF KILL RAYS COMING FROM HIS EYES?!?!

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 03:00:33 UTC

He totally wanted to be able to read lips when he saw them talking and he was mesmerized at the window and then when he sat at his desk glanced back a couple of times. He was feeling the "eww, I dont like this guy, why is he near Emily?" vibes something fierce.

I wanted a hug for all the people who loathe our ship. I wanted it more to piss them off than for my benefit. I get my subtext, I am a happy girl.

Yeah, the stuff in Spain was an afterthought for me as well but I remembered to add it at the lsat minute....OK, at the first edit : D

Soooo I guess when John said "I am stronger than you" in crazy latin or whatever he was meaning it like BITCH I DID TIME IN ROME! BRING IT! and not in a "I'm the devil and here to do the devil's work" kind of way. :( I'm so ditzy I swear. I have watched those damn Winchester brothers for so long that I was like OH NOEZ he's really possessed. Then I was hella confused as to why his eyes didn't go black or flicker or something after he got untied. I was like Y U CRYIN DEMUN? Gah!

People loathe our ship? Wtf? Really? ARE THEY MAD! I seriously had no idea that people existed who think its wack. Well, I'll be ...

I think Hotch should have shot John just incase he was a demon. Just sayin... you know, can't be too careful.

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 03:35:04 UTC

Sweetie, you have got to stop mixing fandoms....it's a bit dangerous : D

Yes, people loathe our ship with the ray of a thousand suns and they are just haters because the chemistry is real. I dont usually give them the time of day but I am just imagining he haterade they will give this episode.

"ensorcelled" - man, haven't heard/seen that word in a while...

This is the very first episode where I liked Rossi - now, don't get me wrong, I **LOVED** him here but I've never even liked him before so I was a bit overwhelmed by it. I've been rewriting episodes in my head and substituting Gideon for Rossi for two years but now I love Rossi and I want to write lots and lots of fic about Rossi being a big brother to everyone. I honestly can't see him *with* anyone (yet?) but the big brother role was awesome and I can't see Gideon being that sweet. Gideon was awesome but sometimes "out of it" as well a lot of the time.

What was up with Morgan and the clothes though? It felt wrong. It felt like it wasn't Morgan at all. Weird.

And thanks for the other encouragement. I'll see how brave I feel tomorrow...

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 03:33:35 UTC

It was a fantastic episode and Rossi was great in it. You're right about Gideon, he was a bit too detached to play the big brother role. I have loved him from the beginning and love him even more this season.

Maybe it was laundry day at Morgan's house.

I have nothing productive to add other then Rossi is officially on my favorites list. Reid, Emily, Rossi.

Oh and that Reid was pretty in this episode.

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 03:52:39 UTC

He was already on my favorites list. It's hard to put anyone in order except I love Hotch and Prentiss the most....equally. His name only comes before hers because of an incessant need to alphabetize everything.

pina_spence March 12 2009, 04:05:14 UTC

Mine are sorta in that order because of... well, Reid is first because I don't think I need to tell you how I feel about Reid... but Emily and Rossi are in that order because that's the order they came to the show.

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 04:08:10 UTC

Well Reid is my least favorite character on the show which I dont saw a lot because I cannot duck very well and dont like being pelted with things. To be sure, I do not dislike him, he just doesnt do very much for me character-wise. I identify with some aspects of him, especially how he grew up but I figure he'll be OK, the fandom loves him.....he doesnt need me so much.

Hotch and Prentiss always first. Rossi, Morgan, and Garcia equally and then JJ and Reid.

I must admit, you sway me a bit, my friend. ^_^ Your review made me feel better about the episode. Maybe I was so down on it because my sisters (whom I was watching it with: one likes Em but is not a fangirl, the other: does not ship Em/Hotch) and they were both really down on the episode. They hated it. Thank you for cheering me up! *hug*

BRUCE DAVISON!!!!!!!!!!!! With long hair.

All I could think when I saw him was "Steig's the big one!" LOL.

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 04:10:29 UTC

Then my job is totally done : ) Satisfied shippers/fans make me a happy girl. I always watch the show with my mom, who doesnt ship anyone but is a big Prentiss fan.

When I first saw Bruce all I could think about was the scene in Longtime Companion when they told the story of him trying on his sister's wedding dress.

*Breathes in relief* I send you cookies and many thanks. I was so angry with it for the longest time (two hours, LOL).

My sisters and I are usually on the same page for shipping in most shows. We only disagree on some. But for CM we all ship: Morgan/Garcia, JJ/Reid (I think. I still sorta ship them, anyway, LOL)

I haven't seen that movie but now I'm picturing him in a wedding dress... XD

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 04:17:44 UTC

Cookies? Oh thank you : )

I actually love watching it with my mom, she allows me to get my squee on but I dont have to worry about her hating something because she isnt at all into shippers or fandoms, she just enjoys the show.

PAGET BREWSTER WAS AMAZING. Holy cow.

mcgarrygirl78 March 12 2009, 04:19:31 UTC

We need to invent a word even better than amazing.....that's how good she was. Favorite episode of the season so far, followed closely by 52 Pickup and Pleasure is my Business. But it all might be knocked on its head next week. Hotch at the center again. Now we need another Morgan ep to even things out a bit. Even Rossi already got one this season. I guess you can say Morgan got eh cop killer ep but it wasnt one of my faves.

spence_reid March 12 2009, 04:25:04 UTC

Zingful? Amazilicious? lol, I don't know, but whatever it is, she was it. I never realized just how superb an actress she was.
