I just didn't figure there would be a third party. I thought it was all the agent.

me too. But, as soon as JJ walked up to the house I said "uh oh"

Good to see Morgan's still doing a decent job--sad he can't call Garcia "baby girl" anymore.

yeah, I noticed that. Why is that? Is it a supervisor thing?

on Orange why were they calling Langston Doctor Ray

They have weird naming conventions on Orange. And then he was calling Calleigh Miss Calleigh, which was ultra weird--because it's not like Vanilla calls anyone anything strange.

Yeah, it matched the decrepit description. Trouble.

Is it a supervisor thing?

I'm guessing. Good that she seemed cool with it. Emily and Rossi seemed a bit wary of his promotion at first, but I'm glad they'te going with the team supporting him.

I would figure the "Miss Calleigh" thing to be a southernism - but Doctor Ray? Not sure about that.

I had forgotten that Eddie Cibrian was on Orange now. . . but is he enough to get me to watch?

Probably not.

Is Langston from the South? Why would he suddenly start calling people like that, when he doesn't on his own show?

Never mind why he's the one travelling and not someone actually senior. They confused replacing William Peterson with replacing Gil Grissom.

Well, last time it was Willows on Orange.

But she was second in command. Langston is last in seniority. Sanders should be travelling ahead of him. And we know he's not going anywhere on his own.

I did think JJ should have known better than to go into the decrepit house with the obviously crazy person who lives with her grandmother -- even if she hadn't heard that profile (she hadn't, right?) those are pretty common notes to hit.

I was glad they called back to Reid's celebrity GF, though! In addition to the other character stuff.

even if she hadn't heard that profile (she hadn't, right?)

No--she triggered Reid's phone call to give the profile and then she left. But given the whole Van Der Beek fiasco she should be gunshy about going anywhere on her own. At least she didn't end up addicted to drugs.

But I wanted an answer!

Aside from the brief mention of Reid's celebrity GF (and there's SOMETHING there ... although it wasn't clear if it had continued), I got a little fed up with the constant theme of Reid being clueless about pop culture. (Shades of Bones!) I mean, he might be all about the classics and non-fiction, but he'd have to have heard about some of those things.

And I felt like the ending was kind of rushed - a long, slow build-up and then in a few scenes the reveal and everything's wrapped up.

the constant theme of Reid being clueless about pop culture. (Shades of Bones!)

Not an avid Bones watcher, but I think Reid is clueless because he hasn't been interested or had the time, not because he's ... whatever her problem is. Like, in this episode: I would probably not be aware of the phenomenon of Twilight if not for my BFF's daughter; I would have seen "yet another vampire book for teens" on the shelves and ignored it. Reid's likely not even seen that much; he probably doesn't peruse the horror section at B&N or the books at the local CVS. I've never seen A Clockwork Orange and didn't know there was Beethoven in it, either (I have at least heard of it, but I was out of college before I knew what it was about.)

I want to see another splash photo of Reid and his celebrity girlfriend on some tabloid lying carelessly on his desk sometime.

Hotch is looking pretty relaxed by the end of this episode. Maybe not being in charge is like a little vacation for him. Prentiss saying, "I'm always amazed at how dark obsession can become" sounded like foreshadowing to my twisted and feverish mind. During the delivery of the profile when they talked about the unsub's probable family, Hotch's voiceover saying "The men generally leave" was kinda sad.
