Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, damn, Reid going all righteous anger on Cmd. Riker! AWESOME!

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

Now that he can walk again, he gets more screen time. Nice episode with no angst from anyone. But a nice piece of introspection nonetheless from Reid.

Also, a real maturation of the character. There was a time when that speech would have been delivered with a lot more hesitancy and less eye contact.

I don't know if the whole episode will get a rewatch, but I'll certainly rewatch his tirade at Frakes. It was lovely. It was very in the vein of his response to Strauss in 100. Definitely grown up.

Yeah, he's called people out before, but he was almost apologetic about it, and wouldn't look at them. This time, he was confrontational.

I remember and contrast his hurried exposition at that prisoner that Hotch was about to beat up (TWOP calls it Freud at the Improv--where he breaks down the guy's reason for killing to forestall a fight Hotch is bristling to have when the prisoner tricks them into being trapped with them) and his interview with Tony Todd's grieving character in The Fox where he plays up his awkwardness to get the guy to talk.

Both are examples of brilliance, but both are rife with nervousness. I'd have to look at episode titles and summaries to be sure, but I'm guessing it's a result of the loss of Gideon and beating the dilaudid addiction.

The chess scenes were a nice nod at how he's processed - still is processing - Gideon's departure.

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

CM continues to mine my nightmares for plots.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yesterday's episode was creepy but, at the end, it seemed more sad than anything. The Reid character really has grown - I've been watching old episodes and he wouldn't have the assurance to carry through what he did in this.

To go to the trivial, what do people think of Garcia's red hair?

Garcia can do no wrong.
