Mmmm, Spencer. Rowr. I love the way we jump right into going in. Awww. Poor boy. The whole team focused on him. He handles that better than he used to. Interesting, Hotch suggesting Reid's subconscious wants to sit this one out. And I love Reid's "I don't".

Prentiss knows about his mother living in Las Vegas...I wonder if she knows about the paranoid schizophrenia.

Taunting the families. Interesting to combine that with remorse after the fact.

****

Is it just me or does the woman bear a resemblance to JJ?

Morgan and Reid working together. Yum. And Rossi & Prentiss. *grin*

Look at Hotch considering someone else's marriage. *pets him* Poor man, he has to know how things rip apart a relationship. And JJ's kid is a boy. *G* I like the way JJ is bonding with the mother. And I like how she believes in the mom.

Okay, these dreams are weird. And wow, Reid is falling apart. What's going on there?

I love this mother. Her quiet despair is just so painful. What good acting.

And now Morgan and Reid ~~snuggle on the couch.~~ do more bonding. I love their relationship. I like how they can joke around with each other, the way Morgan picks on him, and yet the way they confide in each other, the way they can talk.

****

Random commercial note: OMGWTF *FLAILS* WE JUST GET DONE WITH THE ELECTION ADS AND NOW CHRISTMAS? GRAAAAAAAAAAAR!

****

Man, I feel so bad for these guys. I love Hotch. He's always so compassionate to the victims and their families. I love all these profilers, but Hotch is the one I will always admire most.

Reid knew other boys? LOL And Reid had books and notebooks. W.S. Merwyn, Bob Dylan. Heh. Diana wanted Spencer to memorize them. And now Reid's going back to the dream analysis. "Freud's been discredited but Jung still has his merits." *G* Oh, look, and Reid's giving a little more to Morgan again. ~~And pushes right past Morgan, who is trying to comfort him, hello slashy undertones.~~

The FBI obviously coached the minister, huh?

Okay, Spencer needs help. Really needs help.

Oh, look, Rossi and Prentiss are Catholic. *G* We knew that about Rossi, of course. Mmm, I love how the two of them work as a team. And how quiet they are, and how in charge Rossi is. Rowr.

Oh, look at Morgan. He's looking out for Reid. I want to snuggle the man. Oh my gosh, he's so freaking wonderful.

It's nice to see the team have a lead not pan out. As much as I love them, I know they can't be right all the time.

****

WOOOO!!!! A female unsub! But dear lord, please don't be Reid's mother. *snerk* Riley's mother. Oh man, and look. Reid has to go to Bennington. *pets him*

And hello, he theme of the episode is "mother's intuition".

Oh, look, Diana convinces Spencer that Riley is a metaphor. Just like she did with Randall Garner. Huh, Diana went off her medication when she was pregnant. Interesting to know she'd been diagnosed before she got pregnant.

Geez, this season's been rough on us childfree-by-choice people. Breastfeeding a five-year-old grosses me out.

****

She quit taking her anti-psychotics, but of course didn't go back on them while she was breastfeeding. Poor woman. But poor kid, too. Wow, that was Hotch driving like that? Yummy. He's hot when he's a little emotionally involved.

Oh, crap, Reid. Emotionally-involved-boy. Please don't screw up. *snuggles him*

She doesn't have the boy, does she?

Oh LOOK! Reid hugging that kid! *melts*

The conversation between Morgan and Reid is so fantastic. Morgan pointing out that Reid saved the day here, congratulating him. And Reid asking if they can stay an extra night, and Hotch agreeing, and asking Morgan if he can find something to do in Vegas. LOL I love Hotch's dry humor.

OMG I LOVE DIANA REID. And look at them. I want to *snuggle them* And wow, Bob Dylan love. Ooh, pretty Reid sleeping. MmmmmRowr. And an intro to next week! *flails* ZOMG DAD!!!! *sigh* Please don't let Reid's dad be the killer. ~~Trust your show, dear. William found the body. He didn't kill the boy.~~

I love my show. Also? I want to jump Reid's bones. ROWR.

Another lesson in this episode: blonde women are scary. *G* Kidding, really. ^_~

Oh, look, Rossi and Prentiss are Catholic

HUH? Did I miss something?

ASHJFKASHGJ DIANA = LOVE!

Another lesson in this episode: blonde women are scary.

NO FUCKING SHIT, DUDE.

Okay, I know it's not unequivocal evidence, because I am a Protestant and still cross myself after prayers at Catholic services (I've been to so damn many Catholic funerals for my dad's side of the family that I know how the prayers go and everything). But still:

ETA: Okay, not the best screencap, but Prentiss really isn't scratching her head, she's crossing herself.

I absolutely missed that. Then again, I was having a massive coughing fit during the funeral scene. :( It could just be out of respect, but it's interesting that no on else in the cap is doing it.

Also, I DO love the way Prentiss and Rossi work together. I just noticed it this episode, but it's lovely.

~~Not quite as nice as the Reid and Rossi dynamic, but still...~~

OMG you watch that episode and can talk about Reid and Rossi dynamic when the Morgan/Reid was being SHOVED IN YOUR FACE? *G*

And look, I am going to win you over to Rossi/Prentiss shipping. Just wait.

AHAHA! I didn't mean R/R in THIS episode. I was talking about overall series working relationships. :P

LOL I know.

Good ep. I love this cast more and more each week. I'm still miffed they haven't put Morgan and Garcia together, but I digress.

Do you think they're going the pedophile way with Spencer...didn't they do that with Morgan? I have a feeling he witnessed it or found the boy, like in his dream.

Good stuff!

I don't think they'll go with Spencer being molested, but I'm not sure about his father maybe molesting other kids? I don't think they'll go there, though. As you said, they did that with Morgan.

As for Morgan & Garcia...normally I would be with you, except that I am SOOOOO in love with their friendship, and the way their friendship has been portrayed as being so full of love and yet not romantic... I don't know, I've had guy friends who were my Morgan. So I love their friendship without romance. (Not to mention I adore Kevin. I know he's not the "hunky jock" guy, but he likes Penelope for who she is...)

Anyway. *G*

i loved this episode for all the Reid cuteness, though some criminal minds purist are all up in arms about Reid getting more air time than other characters, lol.

and Diana Reid was flawless - i am even more convinced that she is perfect as Reid's mother...

there was just too many cute shippy moments in this episode :)

Geez, I just don't see that he's getting more air time. I've seen other people comment on this, but to me it seems that we have various episodes that belong to various team members.

Of course, I love Reid, so maybe I'm biased. ^_~

i agree, but then i love seeing any episodes that shed light on any of the characters personal lives.

hopefully they'll have one on emily soon...

I've read that we should see more of her backstory this season. I hope that's the case! I love her!

Also, that icon...I...I... words fail me. *G*

Yeah, basically, WORD XD

My problem (well, not really problem XD) with this show is, as I was thinking yesterday, I love every interaction in the team. It doesn't matter who they're teaming up, it makes me happy. This time it was Rossi&Prentiss (♥♥♥♥♥) and Morgan&Reid, so I'm incredibly cheerful xD

I love every interaction in the team

YES! I know, it's almost impossible for me to have an OTP because I love all these characters and the way they all play off of each other!

When I watch this show, I try to be good and not blatantly look for the slashy overtones. But, last night's show was really overt. When Reid brushed pashed Morgan, his hair literally touched the side of his face. They were so close. Morgan/Reid were screaming in this episode.

I do love their relationship (excluding the slashiness). They do tease each other, but always, talk about their inner demons to each other.

Why do I think the final scene with Reid is a dream?

Oh, I revel in the slashy overtones. ^_~ But yes, thank you, I'm glad you saw that one, too. :D And I agree, even without the slashiness I love their relationship for exactly the reason you state.

Oh, your icon. That's the best part. It was so damn hot.
Look at his shoulder! Look at the body positioning!

It's funny because I think this was the best episode. Last week's episode was one of those mail it in shows and it bugged me. Plus, Reid and Morgan were rarely in a scene together, which is a must for me.

I swear it's as if the producers know what the viewers want.

*G* I do think we're getting a lot of fanservice in this season. :D

Mmm, Reid's hair...I want to pet it...

Reid's hair is gorgeous. Speaking of hair, I still miss Morgan's facial hair.

I would LOVE to interview the actors and wonder what they think about the fact that fandom would love to see them hook up.

Have you seen the video where MGG says Shemar's a great kisser? *G* I have a feeling they know. ^_~

WHAAAAAATTTT???

No, I have not. But, it's nice to see they like each other in real life. LOL

Where's this video you speak of?

*G* Let's see, it was linked on

criminalxminds a while back, I think. It was Joe Mantegna giving a morning show a walk around the set, and is full of stuff like Paget telling Shemar to take his shirt off and MGG saying Shemar's a great kisser. *G*

Here it is! ^__^

LOL

OMG..that was funny. Shemar seemed to be embarassed. So cute.

Matthew looked good!

Not to mention the pictures of them hugging. Seriously, those boys are either gay for each other or they just love their slashy fangirls. *G*

Great minds think alike. I just read this post for the first time and realised I posted the exact same CM video in my journal around the same time you guys were talking about this. LOL. I just had to pop in and mention it. Coincidence hey!
