I definitely have to agree that this was one of the best put-together episodes in a while, very well done.
I also agree that Hotch ought to have been obliged to take more than 34 days off, but like Rossi said; if he passed the psych eval, there's no really good way to keep him out (I'm sure Hotch could hold it together well enough to pass the eval). However, the way that he acted throughout the episode pretty much proved that he's not totally stable, and it made perfect sense in light of what he'd been through (he'd been made powerless in the incident with Folet, and so now he's overcompensating by having to always be in control-- and aggressively in control, I might add-- in every situation, both home- and work-related). I really hope that he can find some sort of solace or get some form of help before he embraces this self-destructive streak he's developed
( ... )
so can i just say first that hotch needs someone to smack him really hard? he was being an unreasonable twat this episode. they're always all about teamwork but he goes off alone without involving the team. so my conclusion is that he was definitely brought back way too soon. and okay, i do get that he's pissed off that foyet got him and that his family got taken away but this is nobody else's fault so don't go off at others just because you're pissed off. have some sessions with a psychiatrist, take off a few weeks and come back when you got your act fully together again. end of
( ... )
however, i do think that he was right at being snappy when they found out that darrin was on heavy medication. because this is clearly something that needs to be known to them at the very beginning since it does make quite a change if he's on medication (or should be) or if he's lucid.
IA! The tech was a dumbass. I wanted to smack that bitch.
Dude it didn't even hit me til the next day that it was Sean Patrick Flanery!
The tech was a dumbass. I wanted to smack that bitch. i'll hold her down, you smack her. deal?
yeah well, i have this thing of always reading the full credits at the beginning, checking for familiar names (usually they are the unsubs too). if i hadn't known it was him i wouldn't have recognised him at all.
oh byyyyyyyyyyyy the way. do you watch csi:ny? if not, try to get a hold of their latest episode. or just grab it here. it's a very good episode (hardly to none background knowlegde of the cast needed) and i seriously only waited for the cm-team to jump on the screen. the storyline might as well be one out of cm, no joke.
This episode.. made me cry so much. I MAY BE A LITTLE FRAGILE RIGHT NOW BUT THE EPISODE STILL WAS.... AMAZING. It was too good for words. It made me fall in love/care for Hotch 10x more than I did. I want him to be happy & healthy =( I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS TOO MUCH. That little boy actor needs an Emmy or some shit for his acting. My heart broke, omg.
I figured the Reidfandom would die over his little wave. CUTE.
But didn't we all think that he would be back a lot sooner last week?
*nods* this is true. still not enough time imo. But that's Hotc.
Oh i agree on the Hotch/Prentiss thing. Damn writers.
OK, I might be alone in this, but I really think MGG was really out of character in the Reid/Garcia scene. What do you think?
Oh god yes, I pulled up my original review notes and had "wtf did Matthew just read from the page in the scene w/ Garcia? It was super cute but so far from Reid I wanted to smack him." but I took it out of my posted review because I figured Matt was probably doped on a ton of pain meds and should probably cut the poor guy a break. =/ But, yeah, ia - very ooc.
Hahaha to what you put on my Facebook. Also, my "review" is up. It is a total abomination, but you know... that is how I roll.
I agree that it was fucking amazing, and that Hotch should have medically been away much longer - but then we might have been devoid of him in this episode! And that would have been terrible.
On Emily/Hotch: She clearly hadn't been in his apartment since the day she found him. 34 days ago. So that's a long dry spell :-D (Although, the question he asked Reid on the plane showed he hadn't been chilling with Reid either... boo. Actually, in a non-shippy way, it makes sense to me that all members of the team would have been visiting him in the past month, surely?).
That Reid/Garcia conversation... was incredible. It was like they wrote it for the crazy fans :-D I was actually thinking of you when I was watching it and going, "Oh, Storm must be at least as excited as me right now."
That random moment where the sheriff asked who Hotch was was totally out of place and random, IA.
Yeah, I figured the team would have been visiting him too... I was very =/ when he asked Reid that question, I mean I know for the viewing audiences sake they had to address his knee, but... idk =/
I squeed about the Garcia/Reid thing, then I realized that it wasn't very Reid-ish - if that makes sense? *plz see my response to your lj for more elaborate response*

I think the writers are gonna force me into Hotch/Prentiss.

Maybe Emily helped him decorate? Beforetheyhadsex?
