Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

yes, he's carried (required to as an agent, I suspect), but you didn't see him with a drawn weapon, going in on the action. At first, he seemed to just hover in the background. But, maybe just my perception.

No--they make note in L.D.S.K (where he fails to recertify) that as a profiler he doesn't have to carry.

I don't have a clear memory of them storming as a team in the earlier episodes, and from reading the episode summaries it looks like his head shot in episode 6 is one of the earliest kills in the series by anyone on the team.

Cold Case is going to do an all Ray Charles soundtrack episode. Finally they go with someone I'm familiar with.

Past single-artist episodes of COLD CASE featured the music of John Lennon, Frank Sinatra, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Tim McGraw, U2 and Bob Dylan.

Don't know as much about most of them as most people do. Liked the Johnny Cash episode a lot, and enjoyed the music selections especially.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ack, wrong thread. Sorry.
