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

When I can bear to rewatch, I'll see if I get a different vibe from Morgan. Hope so.

A handsome male lead character on a popular tv show who's (possibly) only ever been with one woman... wow. Hotch is like a mythical beastie. It's like finding a unicorn in the parking garage.

A recent episode of The Mentalist had both Vincent Ventresca (love him, but the orange "tan" was bad) and the actress who played Haley. It was weird seeing her again so soon! She's a good actor; she has a distinctive, very expressive face. (I wondered why that should seem exceptional in an actress, and then I thought, "Oh. No Botox.".)

The look of open shock on Morgan's face when Hotch said he stepped down to fuck with Foyet's mind portends some tension between those two,

I think that he felt a little betrayed. Hotch never mentioned this as a factor when he talked to Morgan about leading the team. Question is whether it as a retcon on Hotch's part or a mind game with Morgan to "build him up"

I also kinda feel like Hotch discussing him giving up the job to the whole team is just kinda not cool to Morgan. Any time he does it, it's like saying Morgan's only in charge cause I gave it to him.

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

I don't know. I think the transparency is important to the team. I mean, for morale's sake, they need a reason Morgan is in charge. I think it would be wrong to have them believing a lie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It looks like House is doing their “Zeppo” episode this week.

Does the House/Wilson even count as subtext anymore?

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought it was cool.

I really liked seeing Wilson be the focus of the episode this week. Wilson's really my favorite character on the show. The House-team-case flybys were hysterical, too. (Why was House soaking wet? Never mind.)

That's a gorgeous loft Wilson just bought for himself (and his boyfriend), too. I'm liking Cuddy less and less; her outrage when she finds out should be fun.

I am still loving the repeats of CM on ion. I think I missed one or two full seasons. I missed all of JJ being out.

I watch CM every night at 7 when I get home. I know I have a cast iron stomach because I can happily watch CM and/or Bones without missing a spoonful
