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

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

I need to see more scenes of her not just seated at her desk or through a remote feed.

Coordinated well with her glasses, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Garcia can do no wrong.

Absolutely.

I love the way Reid handled the unsub. He treated her like a victim instead of a suspect. I also loved the way he announced he was going to check out the mental health facility. I knew he was going to get angry by the disgust in his voice when he mentioned shock therapy on kids.

I always loves me some Reid and I also approve of the way they are seriously growing his character.

I was just poking around the IMDB entry for NCIS, and have had my mind blown. Pauley Perrette is 40 years old???
