escape yourself and gravity

Dear Emily and JJ,
It is SO FUCKING GOOD to see you both back on my favorite show. Please grace my television every Wednesday night.
Love,
Me


Dear Erica Messer,
Please write every episode from now on, except the ones Rick Dunkle writes. Forever.
Love,
Me


Dear CBS,
Suck THIS.
No love,
Me

Warning: This post contains ranting and bad language fueled by two glasses of bourbon.  Really damn good bourbon.

Seriously, there were actually peopled saddened by the cancellation of Criminal Minds: Stupid Bullshit?  Color me astonished.  As for me, I got an email from my best friend this morning, subject line "Hahahahahahahaha!" and message text, "Suspect Behavior got cancelled!  Hahahahaha!"  So that pretty much sums up my feelings.

And yes, I did actually watch it tonight.  And it sucked even worse than I remembered.  I thought Forrest Whitacker was a good actor?  I mean, I liked him in Last King of Scotland.  What happened, did he get aphasia since that movie?  Coop's dialogue was comprised of entirely obvious statements and had...all...these...ridiculous...pauses...in it.  Like that would make him more profound sounding?  Um, no.  Kick Coop to the curb and give me my Hotch.

Speaking of which, GIVE THOMAS GIBSON A FUCKING CONTRACT ALREADY, YOU DOUCHEBAGS!  File this under CBS sucks.

( Spoilers for CM Finale )

Merlin kitty is still feeling very bad.  He's not eating much and not drinking at all that I can tell.  It doesn't help that I couldn't remember what a CC was last night when I gave him his first dose of antibiotics, so I didn't give him enough.  But he's been very listless and limp all evening, and he has peed in two places that aren't his litterbox, which is 100% not his style.  He'll poop where-the-fuck-ever these days, but he's only ONCE peed in an inappropriate place, and that was intentional when he was seriously ticked at me for some reason.  I think I'd been gone for a few days.  Anyway, he's incredibly miserable, and I am still not convinced that the end is not approaching.  I'm alternating being at peace with that if it happens and being heartbroken over it.

:/  It might seem petty (not to mention hypocritical after all the F-bombs I've dropped already), but if you pray, please pray for my cat.  I am childfree by choice, and he is my baby boy as much as anyone will ever be.  I'm not one of those people who thinks that my cat should be treated like a human child by other people, but I definitely treat him that way, and I'm once again reminded of just how fucking hard it is to be a mom.

I'm viewing this last episode of CM through a very personal lens.  The short story is, I found the concept unbelievable, even though I loved watching Hotch, Rossi, & Prentiss in particular.

( Spoilers and long, rambly thoughts )

Wow, that's a lot of tl;dr and a lot of personal crap.  And I know it's just my own experience.  But I've done a lot of talking with other people in the same position as my dad, and my experience is common among the three of us.  If you guys have had experience in this, I'd be interested to hear it.  Maybe there's an angle I'm not seeing.



On a different aspect of the episode, did anyone see the Weed Eater Gube got his head caught in?  Because I think some lawn care professional must be missing it.  >.>

No, really, FUCK YOU, CBS.

This episode of Criminal Minds rocked, but only because of the actors and writers.  No thanks to the assholes who are in charge at CBS.

Still feeling weepy.

...who's sort of dreading this season of Criminal Minds?  *sigh*






slash_girl, don't answer that.

( Fake spoilery thoughts, just because I should put these down here before the season starts in 24 minutes. )

Gosh, answer this or don't answer this? Here's my answer: I don't want ANY of the major characters to leave from my favorite show. If they wanted to kill Strauss or Anderson I'd be fine with it (though I don't really hate Strauss, she's just an annoyance these days). But since they're writing two of the strongest, most realistic and sympathetic female characters on TV out of Criminal Minds over the next season, I guess this question has been answered for me by the bastards at CBS.

Before season four I might have been okay with writing JJ out of the show, but her maternity leave (and subsequent failed attempt at replacing her) just made me love her so much more. And as for Prentiss... Well, I've said before that I have never identified so strongly with a character on television. A woman who is strong, self-confident and yet oddly vulnerable, someone who's bad at romantic relationships, has a deep faith in God but resents the human dictates of the church, someone who has personal honor and integrity (to the point that she resigned rather than rat out her boss) and sucks at politics, someone who is a self-confessed nerd and actually dresses like I do even...

Well, you've all seen my posts about Criminal Minds and Prentiss. I don't think it's a secret how much I love Emily Prentiss.

I guess if I could drop a character from my favorite TV show, it would be the unnamed female character who will be "replacing" JJ and Emily in Season Six. Because I'm pretty sure that no matter how much I try, I'll never like her the way I have loved Emily Prentiss.

Argh!  So in my computer crash I lost the last half of Season Five of CM, right?  And at the moment I don't have time to go hunting for online eps etc.  So could someone who has "Public Enemy" do me a big favor and give me a screencap of Rossi's check at the end of the episode?  Or at least comment with his address (city mostly)?  I would have sworn I wrote it down somewhere, but I can't find it.

Thanks, flist! :)
