Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I know Reid isn't as immersed in popular culture as many, it just struck me, personally, as being carried a bit far. Just my personal reaction.

In re Hotch - ION shows old episodes of CM and they showed one with Hotch SMILING! (it's OLD - he's still fairly happily married and is cleaning out the garage ... all relaxed and happy and smiling ... for once)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I remember the garage-cleaning episode; I saw it recently too. You know what struck me on second watch? How Hotch seems not to be "in charge" in his marriage/home. I know it's not unusual for wives to hand their husbands a "honey-do" list, but little touches made it seem to me that the writers were making a subtle point that Haley was the dominant partner. What's Hotch say he's so cheerful about? Not the time he's going to spend with his wife, but the list of chores that don't require him to make any decisions. Haley decides what gets thrown out, even when it's Hotch's stuff; he has to bargain to keep his favorite memento of high school. (I have issues about people tossing other people's stuff, though.) "Can I keep it?" "If you can come up with a good reason by dinnertime." When they're making out on the couch, she gets on top - and he looks totally happy about it - again, not unusual, but given the rest of my evidence, I'm ready to present a profile...

Love the Wyatt and Sweets show. Love. Hope this isn't just a one off.

Also liked Booth completely acknowledging how wrong he and Brennan are for each other. Less thrilled with Gordon's advice, however.

Stephen Fry rocks, though. Not surprisingly. Still DESPERATELY want a Bones/House crossover someday that somehow involves Gordon.

That's what I get for giving in to Hubby's pleas for sociability.

I caught up on procedurals last night: CM, Bones and CSI: original flavor.

Agree with people that the Reid pop culture stuff felt forced - the music stuff on the plane seemed natural, but the earlier stuff no. The rest of the ep was enh, filler ep, nothing for me.

I know many don't, but I love Sweets, he's my favorite on the show. I really just enjoy seeing DB move Booth through stuff - aggitated/uncomfortable in his skin, annoyed, accepting/settling in to the truth - he's such a ridic different actor than from Buffy.

CSI - whatever.

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

I can totally buy Reid not knowing the name Cullen. It's only because I read too much on the internet that I know that much detail. Not knowing the title Twilight means not paying any attention at all, because he remembers everything he reads.

I expect that Reid reads newspapers, so I'm surprised that he has zero knowledge of pop culture. I would like it more if he knew about things but in a wierd context. Like in response to hearing "Twilight" he would say "oh, yes, did you know that the fee for the rights was the 13th highest in history" and that's all he knows about it because he read an article in the business section.
