CM recap for "Middle Man" (in which Jo goes a wee bit macro-happy)
Hi, guys!
I know, I know, this is REALLY late, but I actually wrote this recap about two and a half weeks ago right before I went to Toronto. I just didn't get a chance to post it before I left, and didn't really have the most reliable internet access throughout the course of my trip. Therefore, I'm posting this now. I'm also going to post recaps for "Reflection of Desire" and "Into The Woods" in the next few days, as I've pretty much already written them. They just need to be fine-tuned. From what I've gathered, there will be no new episode airing this week, so that will give me time to get caught up before watching "What Happens At Home", an episode that I'm CONVINCED will be Reid-centric because of the little Vegas hat-tip in the title. I haven't read any spoilers yet, so I could be about a mile off. Hell, I usually AM about a mile off.
Anyway, this particular recap took me a while to write, because I'd been running around like a headless chicken the week before I left on my trip. I was housesitting on the Wednesday and Thursday (which was how I was able to actually watch this episode ON Wednesday night instead of my usual Thursday morning). Then the weekend was spent out in White Rock (Saturday)... and in the States (Sunday). Then I was on a plane! So that kind of goes to show why I haven't gotten a chance to post this until now, almost three full weeks after the episode aired! Fail!
ANYWAY, I'm going to shut up about my life now and get on with the show. Here's the play-by-play for "Middle Man"!
Right off the bat this episode is terrifying me. Being chased through the dark is one of my most common recurring nightmares. The fact that the "hunters" are laughing and calling out the victim's name makes this even more disturbing. This is an excellent example of why I will not allow myself to watch horror movies.
Cornfield setting automatically forces me to make obligatory "Fight The Future" reference: This girl is running away from a pickup truck? Mulder and Scully outran two helicopters. Sorry, victim. Your cornfield-running skills are only mildly impressing me right now.
M/S: "You call that running thru corn? Fucking amateur."
Example #2 of why I don't allow myself to watch horror movies: GODDAMN CREEPY MASKS worn by people who jump out at you as if from nowhere.
I want to say something about the "16-30-year-old female" victimology fallback, but... crap... I'm starting to feel like a broken record. *retreats to cube of bulletproof glass*
IPAD PRODUCT PLACEMENT MANIA!
Garcia "did a thing". I THINK WE JUST DISCOVERED PART OF GARCIA'S BIG SEASON 6 SECRET!! Perhaps hers will be the first to be revealed this season? *Waits impatiently for episode to end so we can find out what "the thing" is*
Daaaawwwwww, REID! "We're going paperless!??"
Several things about this particular part of the scene:
1) THIS is more like it. I love that they've finally out-and-out addressed Reid's "anti-technology quirk" by giving us a situation that is totally plausible (the conversion to iPad), and creating a reaction (and a solution) that doesn't seem flat-out ridiculous. It actually annoyed me when, in The Internet Is Forever, Reid said that he DIDN'T HAVE E-MAIL. Come ON. I mean, I love Reid (and his adorable moments of life-cluelessness) to teeny-tiny pieces, but this was quite simply a major case of writing-fail. Who works for the FBI and doesn't have E-mail? Who works ANYWHERE these days and doesn't have E-mail? They could've EASILY had him say "I don't have Facebook", or "I don't have Twitter" or something like that (it would've fit perfectly within the context of the episode), and I would've completely bought it. But E-mail? There's gotta be a scene somewhere in seasons 1 through 5 that shows Reid checking his E-mail. That statement just BEGS to be disproved. The dude works in an office for the federal government, travels cross-country for his job, and has a computer on his desk for crying out loud! They may as well have had him say "Sorry, I don't breathe air." /rant.
2) That being said, I thoroughly enjoy how they've handled Reid's technophobia in this episode. How awesome is it that Garcia just KNEW Reid wouldn't dig the Ipad? I love how Garcia is SO good at reading people, especially considering that she's the one whose job requires the LEAST amount of human interaction. She's still the most intuitive by far.
3) On a more sombre note, did anyone else notice how sick Reid's voice sounds in this scene, and how tired he looks? I <3 reading too far into things! :D
Okay I had to come back do an ETA, because goddessdster pointed it out to me: Hotch has to help Rossi figure out how to use the tablet! Lol. I think Rossi just lost all the cool-points that he gained with his Grand Theft Auto 4 knowledge.
Okay... Um... I just did something to my keyboard so that every time I hit the question mark or the quotation mark key, I get various French-style accented E's. What the actual fuck! ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉééééééééÉÉÉÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÉÉÉÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈééèéèéèéèéèéèé
*sobs* Why am I so computer illiterateÉ
Hotch! Garcia! Help me!
ÉÈÉÈÉÈÉÈééèéèéèé
Okay, this is annoying. I need to figure out how to fix it. BRB.
ÈÈÈÈÈ
FRAAAAK!!
Okay, Ièm going to try something else...
""""?????
Hallelujah! Google's I'm so brilliant.
See, this is the beauty of type-as-I-watch recaps: you get all of this wonderfully enlightening bonus material!
Lovely. Drunk, coked-out dudes spraying beer everywhere and grinding up against this poor, objectified (not to mention blindfolded & handcuffed) girl's ass as she cries and begs them to stop. This must be the image that my grandmother had in her head when she took me aside at the age of 11 or 12 and told me to "Stay away from boys, you hear me? Dirty, crafty hooligans, all of them! Now, drink this hot rum with lemon, dear. I won't have you catching the consumption."
Jet time! Aaaand Reid has his feet up on the furniture again. This happens a lot. I'm not going to go to the trouble of finding examples and picspamming it, but trust me. He always has his feet on the furniture. I guess it's not really his fault, though. His mom was a bit... distracted during his formative years. She must've forgotten to teach him that lesson.
Oh wait... I said I WASN'T going to picspam it, didn't I? I lied. I'd forgotten about these.
And just because I get a great deal of amusement out of these macros (and I have the sudden urge to digress), here's my favourite one:
*gigglesnort*
Okay, I really need to focus. I think I'm only about 10 minutes into the episode at this point.
-Rossi: "Prostitutes and strippers usually make easy targets."
Thank you, Captain Obvious. I guess this line has been written in for the benefit of viewers who haven't seen the first five seasons of this show, and are thus under the impression that prostitutes and strippers are nearly impossible to catch... like Bugs Bunny or the Roadrunner.
I think we've found a winner for the "Assholiest Cop-Of-The-Week" award!!!
"You know how many strippers and prostitutes I saw getting beaten up and raped when I worked the city? Sometimes it's like they're asking for it."
Excuse me while I tremble with pent-up rage.
HOTCH! *highfives* Way to completely dominate that pissing contest!!! You don't mess with the Hotchner Glare! Perfect example:
Awww! He has his daddy's evil-eye.
Omigosh! The bartender unsub is what's-his-name from that show!
Okay, you caught me. I have no idea who this guy is. I've never seen any episodes of "Bones". I only knew that he was on that show from reading Diana's blog. I just feel sorta lame for not recognizing any of the guest stars in this episode. *whines*
One of the three unsubs just storms into the bar and has a regular-volume conversation with bartender-unsub, which includes the phrase "What did you get me into? Those girls are DEAD, Chris!" These guys deserve to be arrested on the spot for public display of idiocy.
EEEEEEEEEEE! Reid and Prentiss in the strip club!!! This is full of awesome for two reasons: 1) Reid and Prentiss haven't been paired up on assignment in ages (Rossi and Morgan must be off somewhere crying into their respective pillows right now). 2) I totally predicted that this scene would take place (and by "predicted", I mean "prayed for, and was aptly rewarded").
Omigosh! The stripper is what's-her-name from that soap opera! Fine, once again I'm caught in a lie. I don't watch "All My Children" either. I do, however, know how to search for things on IMDB. ;D
Hehehe. Stripper makes Reid get all flustered and backpedal-y. "No, no, no I'm from Las Vegas, I don't have a problem with strippers!!!" LOL! And the FACE!
Prentiss goes into Morgan mode, role-playing by sitting down in the strip club booth. She gets the stripper witness to sit down too. Am I the only one who was hoping that Emily was going to ask Reid to give them a lap-dance? *is bummed*
Oh wait, Morgan and Rossi aren't crying into their pillows, they're soldiering on... with each other! I like this switching-up of the partnerships. It's refreshing.
Alpha-unsub zips up his pants and says to the other two, "Who's tagging in?" SAY WHAT!???? These unsubs are making it especially difficult for me to maintain a light-hearted tone on this recap. These guys (and their blunt, misogynistic dialogue) are just horrible. I mean, it's effective, for sure... because I REALLY hate them, but... yeah. I honestly don't know what else to say.
-Alpha unsub: "The jury's not going to call it sex, they're going to call it rape." Um... because that's what it IS, dipshit. No one is going to even listen to your flimsy excuses when all the prosecution has to do is open a dictionary.
And now Alpha-unsub is all "dance, monkey, dance!" and SHOOTING AT THE POOR GIRL with a revolver. I want to kick him in the balls.
Aw! The unsub whose hair looks kinda like Reid's did in season one actually has a conscience!
Well, looks like he's going to die...
Meanwhile, we join Reid, Rossi and Hotch back at the police station for yet another fun-filled episode of "Jo overreacts and misreads MGG's every twitch as irrefutable evidence that poor Spencer has contracted some sort of horrible illness":
He has leg disease! Oh God... I knew it... D':
-"Bones" unsub: "Everything's going to be alright."
Don't listen to him, Season-one-Reid-hair unsub! You're clearly going to die. If I can tell that you're going to die, you should definitely be able to figure it out. I'm usually the last one to catch on to peoples' sneaky plans.
Fireworks going off outside my apartment sound like gunshots. Scared the shit out of me just now.
So we're back in the cornfield now, and it seems like it's time for our somewhat compassionate friend to bite the dust. Alpha tosses Bones a bat. Bones: "What's this for?"
Seriously? You have to ask? If I were Alpha-unsub, I wouldn't be able to pass up the chance to respond with blatant sarcasm:
-"It's for this fun new game I invented called cornfield-golf."
or...
-"It's a magic wand. Now you can fix that dent that your fist just made in your friend's face."
or...
-"Have you forgotten? Your audition for the campus production of "Damn Yankees" is tomorrow! We need to rehearse, silly!"
But no... Bones is expected to kill his friend. Well, Duh. And of course he does it, because if we've learned anything from watching Criminal Minds, it's that the dominant partner is basically God, and the submissive partner will eat rocks and twigs if Alpha says they look delicious.
Early that next morning... BLEEEAAAGGGHHH!!! Farm combine thingy runs over the dead body and I almost lose my lunch. Just when I thought that this episode might not have any gross-out moments.
MORGAN/REID BROMANCE!!!! (Sure, they don't even really look at each other during the entire scene, but hey, it's more than we've gotten yet this season so I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.)
FADHJ;DFSHGaldg;hdshg *SPAZ*! Reid's wearing his Chucks again. And my world continues to--
Actually, how about I let everybody know when my world STOPS spinning on its axis? It appears as though Reid and his Chucks are in it for the long-haul this season. <3 <3 <3 <3333333
Garcia's hair has (in the last 10 or so episodes) somehow transitioned from "Agent Scully ginger" to "traffic pylon orange" without me noticing. I mean, it's REALLY orange now. Am I hallucinating? It wasn't this orange originally, right? Ah well, she works it like a rockstar. I'm not complaining.
Question: So Bones is the Sheriff's son!? Second question: The sheriff's son is the killer!!!?? Third question: Didn't we already see this in "The Popular Kids"???? Oy, Writers! Don't start thinking that just because the show's in its 6th season you can start recycling all of the twist endings from S1. I'm onto you.
Morgan + Reid + Kevlar = flail of epic proportions.
-Morgan: "Tell me you have an address."
-Garcia: "En route as we flirt, baby."
God, I just realized how much I've missed their sexxytalk lately.
YES! I love it when Prentiss gets to intimidate male unsubs with her woman powers!!!!!!!! I think she's the best negotiator of the bunch. Srsly.
Even though I hate Sheriff Asshole, I will admit that it would suck to be forced into shooting your own son...
Aw, Hotch! Dispensing fatherly wisdom: Be there for your son. He'll be fine. Here, have a handshake.
Aaaand ending credits.
Well, I'm satisfied with how this episode-- WAIT A SEC! GARCIA'S THING! WHAT IS IT!??? God DAMN it! I'm holding a major grudge against the writers this week. Apparently they think I'm stupid enough to forget all about both "The Popular Kids" AND Garcia's thing.
So... here's the question: what do you guys think Garcia's thing IS? What did she do in order to procure ipads for the team? I'm too tired to think right now, so I'm going to let you do the speculating for me. :)
Final Note:
*All macros used in this entry (except for the crappy one that was obviously made by me) were borrowed from Criminal Macros! It's pretty funny. I go there whenever I need a bit of a giggle.
