all I ever think about is you

loveflyfreeI have done absolutely nothing all weekend. Well, okay I cleaned my room a little and watched a lot of tv, but that doesn't really seem like it should count.
Although the tv I did watch was catching up on s2 of Criminal Minds. Just finished up through ep 2.12 "Profiler, Profiled"
GUH. THIS SHOW. Pretty much every episode makes me cry at some point. And not always the big emotional rescue or hero moment or whatever. Sometimes it's just a small quiet moment between team members and something will be said or a look will be shared and suddenly my eyes are brimming with tears. These characters are so amazing. Every last one of them. ♥
Even the episodes that are not as well written (The Fisher King pt 2) still are so much better than a lot of shows out there, and even so still have their moments when it just shines. While I was not crazy about Reid being the key to everything in this ep (and his mother being the answer to everything really had my eyes rolling) the scene where he puts down his gun and tries to reason with the unsub was fantastic. You have Morgan and Hotch right there hissing at Reid not to do it and Reid thinks nothing of putting himself in danger in hopes that he can get this to end peacefully. Which you know, it doesn't, but this is not the first time we've seen Reid do this, try to disarm someone with just his words. (Somebody's Watching is a good example of where it worked.) ♥ (more on Reid later)
I really don't know how I feel about Elle. I mean the character arc was pretty amazing and most of the things were hinted at back in season 1, but I'm still not sure if I feel satisfied with how it played out. Her freaking out on the job? Oh yes, that part I completely buy into. Maybe what I really don't buy is that it was clear to all of them that she was flipping out and none of them tried to take her off the job. Both Hotch and Gideon had to have seen what was coming and they did nothing. Especially after she made that comment to Hotch about how he was responsible for her getting shot. Come on.
Morgan. I can't even think about him right now since I just watched Profiler, Profiled. God he just wanted to keep that one piece hidden. That one piece of himself hidden. But in the end, when he's faced with the knowledge that that one piece is going to save another kid from going through the same thing? I firmly believe he would have shouted it from the damn rooftops. And oh. Garcia having to go through his records. She so didn't want to and I don't blame her.
Gideon. You know. I know when the show first started Mandy was the big draw and he's probably the character I feel the least connection with. I'm not sure why that is. Part of it could be that I really started watching during s3 after he had already left and am now playing catch up on the older eps and am willfully not getting involved because I know he's leaving. Still there are times when he just. in Fisher King when he wouldn't leave the hospital. Or The Perfect Storm when the pieces start to fall together and the look on his face when he realizes who the other unsub is.
JJ. She's just starting to be a real character and not token pretty blonde girl and I appreciate that we're getting her backstory. North Mammon was a fantastic episode and the bit where she's telling the team that "she was these girls" and that they should look into it? love. I hope we get more on her next season. Assuming they didn't blow her up. >.<
Prentiss. I already liked her from the s3 eps I had seen but eeeeeeee. I loved her from the moment she appeared on screen. and her response to Hotch re: politics in Sex, Birth, Death? AWESOME. <3
Garcia. OMG I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR GARCIA. Seriously. She's so flippin' fantastic. Whether she's flirting outrageously with Morgan, or cultivating her friendship with JJ or physically threatening Reid to go out and have fun with her there is nothing that I don't love about her. NOTHING.
Reid. again. Yeah so Sex, Birth, Death made me cry like nobody's business. Between his utter helplessness at the end and his comment earlier about knowing "what it's like to be afraid of your own mind" I just wanted to cuddle him so hard. When he's spouting off stats or solving riddles or putting that brain of his to work it's easy to forget that he's got quite a bit of damage going on already. And we haven't even gotten to the real damage yet (of which I've only seen bits of those eps and maybe one or two from after in s2.) So yeah. Reid is a big woobie but my god he's so much more than that.
Hotch. Yeah it's become pretty apparent to me that Hotch is my favorite. He tries so hard to do the right thing and so often that means choosing the case over his family and it's tearing him apart inside. He's an angst!bomb just waiting to go off. But he has this humor and lightness in him that so desperately wants to come out, but he only allows it out a little bit at a time. Like he's afraid to let go. Even more than Reid I feel like Hotch needs someone to cuddle him in a blanket or something. Because it's almost expected that Reid would need that so I think that it's more likely that someone would reach out to him. I'm not sure that people would think to reach out to Hotch. Again because I started with s3 eps, I know what happens with Hotch and his family so. :(
SHOW. ♥
Miley Cyrus apparently tried to kiss David Archuleta backstage at the Teen Choice Awards. AHAHAHAHAH. He apparently leaned away and then politely walked away as fast as he could. Oh. Oh bless.
