Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita! Criminal Minds on the train tonight! Speaking of trauma for poor Reid. (Which I realize you were doing like a week ago, but still.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know! I just started watching this episode and he just volunteered to go on. I foresee pain. I've never seen this one before, so much excited.

Oh, it's excellent.

He's such a total damsel. Elle is bleeding and cuffed to her seat and Reid gets in more peril than her in mere minutes.

I think they're done with the episodes I haven't seen--this one with the kid that sings really well seems familiar. I wish it weren't such a case of spot-the-top-billed-co-star, though.

I wonder how they're going to write around MGG's injury. It's apparent that agents can't be in the field on crutches. I guess his stunt double will be earning his keep, because MGG's still off his feet, and there's no way they can keep him in the office that long.

"Reid, you stay here and work on the profile" . I think that it's only recently (last season or two) that he's been going into the field. In the beginning, he never went anywhere unless it was to interview a safe subject.

Nuh-uh -- he's runnning around right from the start. The one I just saw with him in the woods with a suspect is probably mid-first season.

And they showed a flashback from before the series started that also had him in the field. No, he travelled with the team every time they left the office, it seems.

Hmm, maybe it's the gun I'm remembering as new. It always looks so weird to me when he's pointing a gun.

He goes up for firearm recertification in the Timothy Omundson episode L.D.S.K.--ep 6 in season 1, so I'm pretty sure he's been carrying for the whole series, or at least since before then.
