Criminal Minds Season Finale Spoiler

From spoilertv:
Do you know if Criminal Minds is planning a cliff-hanger this season? I don't want to lose sleep all summer! — Liza
ADAM: Executive producer Erica Messer says yes, but nothing over which you'll lose sleep. That is to say, no one's getting blown up in an SUV. "It's about our team and the financial cost of crime fighting," Messer says. "The goal was to show how much the world needs our heroes and how important it is that we keep the team together. ... Bad guys seem to have endless funds but, as in real life, there are budget cuts in the government, and the team is in jeopardy of being split up."

Exams hangover and holiday blues

Calvin and Hobbes and Roald Dahl's The Magic Finger will always be largely responsible for my skewed sense of morality.

I once watched elephants in national parks being culled during National Geographic when I was 8, and later wondered out loud to my friends if people would do the same to the human (over) population. 

Then, I saw this. Thank you, Mr Watterson. Once deers figure out how to use firearms, we are very screwed.

A very interesting perspective on the female characters of Criminal Minds:
Link: http://x-forgetromeo.livejournal.com/161970.html

I did like Elle. In my opinion, her presence brought a certain amount of edginess to the intra-team dynamics in the first two seasons. Secretly wish one day Lola Glaudini decides to guest star, so that her old BAU team members would bump into her. While I do enjoy JJ and Emily as part of the BAU team, I admit at times I wished their characters have been allowed to expand and develop to reveal more interesting, but plausible (okay...maybe dramatic sometimes, if you want) facets to their personalities.

I agree that a number of fan reactions towards Seaver has been over-proportionally spiteful towards the character - every single episode she's been in, even with less than a minute of screentime, warranted a flood of Seaver-bashing rants. Some of the complaints towards her though are fair, usually in terms of her professional eligibility as a BAU profiler. A part of the problem with characterizations may have been the writing in the first place...but still, it's disturbing to see the negative extent of certain fan reactions. Kudos to the writer of this article.

AJ Cook Returns to 'Criminal Minds': Two-Year Deal



Why send her off in the first place, CBS?

I would think that after facing so much gory and scary stuff in their daily work, they would have watched something more lighthearted....like Charlie Chaplin, you know. A good time out and away from dealing with serial killers isn't going to the movies to watch serial killers. That's my opinion, really.

Maybe they are just using it as an opportunity to warm-up their profiling skills. Or laugh at the special effects.

Or maybe they take comfort in the fact that the unsubs....I mean, villains in many B-grade slasher movies are more predictable and clichéd than your average murdering plank of wood.

Girl sees knife/chainsaw/cleaver/axe/pitchfork/spoon. Girl screams. Girl dies. Stab, stab. Who cares, the girl is only murder fodder and possesses the characterization of a matchstick.

Initial Thoughts on 6.20 'The Stranger'

Well, well. I am quite pleasantly surprised by this episode. Team interaction in the beginning! Loved Reid's little spooky 'narration' - although I readily admit it was more MGG than Reid actually. Moments like this were sorely missed in this season. Hmm...it must be an interesting slasher flick (is there one?) for Reid to be still excited over it the next morning. Rossi gives the "why can't I run away faster enough than he could talk" look.

Nice build-up to the end, and I'm sure a few people would have jumped at certain points when the unsub suddenly appeared. Got a 'When A Stranger Calls' vibe here. And the victims - oh wha - ouch. That's a brutal place to put a knife in, you sick twisted bastard of an unsub. Would it qualify for him to have an Oedipus complex if Kate was his step-mum?

On Hotch: Oh really, Hotch, I do think Strauss is right, you know. What makes you think that you, especially you, of all people, should be exempted from assessment? Strauss might have been a relentless prick, but I did agree with her viewpoint (for the record third time in the entire show's history). Again, it's two times in a row now Hotch went in to negotiate with the unsub. At least, he kept his vest on this time.

Seaver. Not too bad actually the way she talked down to the unsub. Didn't mind her too much actually. However, I'm betting there's still going to be a great hoo-haa over her increased screen presence in this episode anyway. I guess it's okay she didn't take over the whole episode and become Super-Profileress.

In the end, Hotch and Strauss ain't too different after all. I do appreciate the times when they show Strauss isn't always the stereotypical obstructive bureaucratic evil lady boss who gets in Hotch's way. Hotch getting to be in charge of several departments now? He's heading for a massive burnout, I'm sure of it, by Season 7. Strauss going away for a few months - is she sick, or her child sick, or family issues?

Kind of wished they left this in. At least they would show that Strauss isn't some cold-hearted bureaucratic evil woman in this episode.

88. Inadvertently solving a difficult maths problem on your own

I have quite dismal Maths skills unfortunately, although I occasionally find it intellectually stimulating.

86. Seein' the stars out at night until your neck hurts

The Five Stages of Grief, otherwise known as the Kubler-Ross Model, is based on the book On Death and Dying by Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.

Denial

  GARCIA: I get it. We're a family and it's important that families 

  talk, and holding it in will just make this sick, sad feeling of 

  awfulness more awful. Right?

  HOTCH: Internalizing does make it worse.

  GARCIA: I'll talk, but I don't want to talk about her gone. Can 

  I talk about how she made me smile?

     

Bargaining

     MORGAN: 60 seconds. If I had just gotten there 60 seconds 

     earlier, Emily might still be with us.

     HOTCH: Derek, you know you did everything you could.

     MORGAN: Yeah, yeah. I know I did everything I could. We 

     all did. I know. But, is that supposed to make me feel better?

     HOTCH: You protected each other for years. Don't expect 

     this to go away anytime soon.

     MORGAN: This what - this what - this guilt?

     HOTCH: Just because you were the last one there, doesn't 

     mean you could have affected the outcome.

Anger

      MORGAN: Angry. Yeah. Yes. Sometimes I feel like I want to 

     quit my job and spending my time chasing down that son of 

     the bitch that killed Emily. You're damn right I am angry.

     

     (later) So what do we do - we just chalk it up to fate? I can't

     blame anybody - this is the will of God? No. I do blame 

     somebody. I blame Doyle.

      REID: It's just unfair that she is gone. It's like.. if we can't keep 

     each other safe, then why are we doing any of this?

Depression

REID: Sometimes I think maybe...maybe Gideon was 

right. Maybe, it's just not worth it.

    

Acceptance

Here, Rossi does not express the same sentiments as Garcia, Reid and Morgan do.
He seems more accepting that Emily's gone. 

    ROSSI: I've always had trouble letting people in. But this is 

    different. I guess, I've come to realize that I 'm more married to 

    this team than I ever was to 3 ex-wives.

    HOTCH: It's been a hard year. We'll get through this.

    ROSSI: Yeah, we will. (Raises drink) Emily and Haley.

On the other hand, Rossi does 'bargain' in a different sense. He gets to know about Hotch's own status in dealing with the aftermath of Haley's death and becoming a single parent, offers a little of his own thoughts, before reaching an agreement with Hotch over some scotch.     

Hey there, Dr Gillian Foster. Did Cal Lightman piss you off really bad this time 'round?

It's Supernatural!

Quite morbidly artistic actually.

Heard Gideon's name mentioned on latest episode of CM 6.20:



Been such a long time. Like what, two or three seasons?

Maybe Gideon cameo next?

Initial Thoughts on 6.20 'Hanley Waters'

Hotch doing the counselling? Wow. At least it wasn't Strauss! :P

Gosh, they just have to make it so sad. Garcia wanting to remember the happy things. Morgan fuming and wanting to do something (I hope he doesn't go after Doyle - is this episode some sort of foreshadowing?) Hearing Reid talking about Gideon's words on the hopelessness of their job - no, don't go that way, Reid!

Seaver not getting counselling. Acknowledgement she does not know Emily well enough to grieve for her, or she is a robot?

Rossi-Hotch banter and wine-sipping: awesomeness. This episode sees more Hotch and Rossi than ever. Especially Hotch. His presence's been quite lacking this season until now.

Hotch talking down unsub without his vest on (unless he's wearing a concealed one, but I doubt so). Please don't set another bad example for Reid to follow, Big G-Man.

Unsub of the week. Somewhere between wanting to bop her on the head and feeling sorry for her loss.

Finally...where's the SECRETS? There's only four episodes left!

Quite an astatine, but still never gets boron. A random Chemistry pun found some time back.
