Huh. I'd never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense. (Also, bonus points for mention of Foyet)

I read a fic where Hotch made a confession with Gideon, that if he realised that if he never got on the phone with Foyet, Haley might be still alive, because Foyet needed to gloat ( ... )

Beautiful. I am so honored that there's another true Gideon fan around.

I'm not so good with words and I haven't been online much, but I'd love to discuss Jason with you at some point.

You are so right about the parallels between the two circumstances and I loved the way you went about it.

Good job. We need more of this, more analysis. I gave up on fics a while back, gave up on my own RP writing, the latter mainly due to lack of time; my group broke up but if I'd wanted to find someone else I could have. Never know though, there might be some hope for Jason to come out some :)

I too love the poplar Dr.Reid, but Gideon is well, 30+ that and more.

It just gives me the SideEyes that there are so many Reid fans that have a hate on for Gideon, as a fan of Gideon and as a fan of Reid - will you still like Reid when he's older? Not just in body but in heart (though body probably has lots to do with it, considering how many badly written Reid fics there are AND how some Gideon haters are fans of Dr.House lol). Dude, remember how rude was Reid to Emily when she first got on board? Remember how in "Distress", Reid ranted off to the volunteer at the homeless shelter, that, in Emily's words, caused unnecessary panic, but in Reid's opinion, the volunteer was better afraid than victimized (like Reid was)?

What we were seeing there in Reid was a leaf out of Jason Gideon's book of issues, collection of 30 years.

I'm...not a Reid fan. I mean I was at first, but it's hard to explain, it's a mix of him being *too* perfect and what the fans do to him, [to the Reid Fanatics] it's either too much Reid or too little Reid, and honestly I don't care one way or another as long as the show's good. And obviously I hate that they have a hate on for Gideon. How someone can hate Jason is beyond me ( ... )

I watched S1-S2, and then the episodes afterwards were a bit meh in my mind, I missed a lot of them, so my Reid love probably haven't been as eroded by over exposure as yours have. I definitely don't like him remotely as much as Gideon though, he's pretty, but there is just an instinctive "Oh god, he's too young, throw him back" response.

How someone can hate Jason is beyond me.

Somehow, they were accidentally watching a mirrorverse version of CM? Or they hated Princess Bride because they have no souls? (Srsly, if you haven't yet, watch Princess Bride, best movie in the universe.)

Srsly though, someone fessed up on tumblr that they hate Gideon because of all the creeper!Gideon fics, sigh. Dude is a total woobie, and Reid is absolutely no bambi, especially in season 1. People say he was stronger in Season Seven, and I disagree - this is only true if you compare him to earlier seasons, /post Tobias Hankel/. S7 Reid thought about doing drugs again when he thought Emily was dead, because S7 Reid was more haunted than S1 Reid, ( ... )
