I've somehow missed the Criminal Minds fan fic ... actually, I've missed a LOT of fan fic. (However, let me take a minute to pimp Fay's Supernatural fan fic with, um, a messiah, I think.)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Trust my rage
I've been delighted that the uneasy-making stuff that's been popping up this season has actually been relevant. It makes one start to trust writers a little more.
Yeah, there have been several episodes where I was a little nervous for the show, but it has seemed to do well. I love Bones. It's fun and easy to watch and I really like the characters.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is a fun article, Tom. It made me relive every stage of my affair with X-Files, from discovery, to love, to bitterness and betrayal.

Oh, you mean Wee John the Messiah? Hilarious! It's about Dean and Castiel (the angel) having a kid and raising it together. They're delightful [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Penelope is Derek's god-given solace. Not every chick gets to be that to a stand-up take-down sort of guy.

NCIS: LA recasts female lead. I feel bad for Louise Lombard.

I feel bad for Louise Lombard
Sorry for the actress losing a job, but I'm not surprised. I don't know if it was acting, directing, or writing, but the female lead made me antsy, she struck me as too desperate to be perceived as competent, with a bad case of "I must always remind them that I can do this even if I am a woman." I know that angle is considered an easy source of drama for writers, but I long for a female commander who doesn't feel compelled to apologzie/explain/account for her vagina and breasts.
I didn't like Jenny at first, it seemed a cheap plot twist to bring in Gibbs' old lover, but the conflict quickly when from "can A woman do this job" to "can THIS woman do this job".
I fondly remember Gina Torres being a police captain in a hostage negotiation unit--Standoff, was it?--and I never got the idea that her competence vis a vis her gender was ever a topic.

yeah, one of the few things that show ever got right.
