Elle never seemed much more to me than a cardboard cutout of a tough hot chick than anything else. Making her brittle and about to snap was the most interesting thing she did--and not all that interesting.

Prentiss has always seemed more 3D to me.

It's telling how everyone refers to Elle Greenaway as Elle, but Emily Prentiss is Prentiss, just like Morgan, Rossi, Gideon, Garcia, and Reid. JJ and Hotch have nicknames, which falls along the same lines. Despite Prentiss's entree into the BAU, she's just another member of the team. I never had that feeling with Elle. She always seemed like the bratty little sister tagging along with her big brothers, where she was tolerated at best. She had to have some brains to get where she was, but her issues did her in.

The actress who played Elle (can't remember her name ... never really cared that much) is on "Persons Unknown". She's playing the bitchy editor of a sleazy tabloid of some sort ... and sleeping with one of the reporters.

yeah, her acting isn't great. I remember her on "The Sopranos" and she was just excellent. I don't know what happened to her since.

Wow. Last night's Lie to Me was good.

The underlings were underused, but the guests were more interesting than they've been in a while.

I love me some Angus Macfadyen...ever since Equilibrium.

::hanging head in faux shame::

Haters gonna hate, but I do think she is dumb. All her actions that got her booted out/to walk were just plain stupid.

amen.

Lola something. It's italian. Guardini, maybe? I don't care enough to IMDB. Elle was written out because the actress wanted to move back to the east coast. Our gain, really, because I really like Prentiss/Paget.

I loved the Lie to Me, too. Lots of cool overlapping past/present narrative stuff happening.

Prentiss is awesome.

I think my favorite scene-let is at the beginning of one where the women are in a bar and Prentiss comes back with their drinks trailing a man whose pick-up line is that he works for the FBI ... but he can't tell them anything about his work because it's CLASSIFIED. They ask to see his credentials and, when he demurs, ask "does it look like this" and one by one they pull out their FBI IDs.

Glaudini. Haven't seen her in anything else besides CM. Don't really care to either. She's not a must-see actor for me.

Oh, yes, that is awesome. There are some really great scene-lets with the three of them, like recently when JJ was trying to convince Prentiss to go out with Mick.
