oh really? I didn't know that about Gubler. No wonder they had him shot in the leg like that. It was a strangely disabling shot for a tv character, but I didn't guess at all the real reason. Well played, show.

And yes, that whole story with Hotch was just heart-breaking. He'd already thought it through that he might not see Jack or Haley again since he'd become the designated plaything. *sniffle* (and jesus, when Reaper was going on about how stabbings are symbols for rape, I totally had the moment's fear that he was going to say something like, "let's just skip all the symbolism." *shudder* only this show would make me believe they might actually go there, even briefly).

And poor Garcia, trying to keep it from Morgan and just about two steps from losing it. And Emily.. and gah! DISTRESSING.

It must be really common for people not to follow directions from their doctor. Kidlet's surgeon was also shocked by how diligently we obeyed her instructions and how well it healed. *shakes head* Jeez, people.

They totally went there. Foyet's lines don't make any sense at all if he was only using a knife. When he was all "you think stabbing is for killers who can't get it up, well how does this change the way you think? maybe I'll make you change the way you profile..."

If he was just using a knife, it doesn't work, logically. Plus, they showed him removing clothes, and what he said about "relax, it goes in easier." That also doesn't really make sense with a knife. Sure, they didn't show anything definitive, but they got as close as they can on network TV.

I'm 100% in the boat of Hotch was literally raped. They've done it before, too. Morgan was raped by another man when he was a kid, so we know they'll go there. It's precedent.

oh you're probably right. I thought he was saying that he stabbed for the artistry of it, not for the rape symbol of it, because he also went on about how he'd learned to stab without killing anyone. But he did take off his clothes, and it does make sense.

*wibble* poor Hotch.

I tend to always think the worst with Criminal Minds. The writers are evil geniuses. Emphasis on evil. *shudder*

Gubler's Twitter stream is very entertaining, and he often tweets about Adventures in Knee Injuries. After his last surgery (which was like last week) he tweeted how amazing it felt to even put the tiniest amount of weight on his leg, and every step was like Christmas.

He also seems to take perverse pleasure in showing us unflattering pictures of himself. :-)
