Watched the "The Tribe" last night. That is absolutely one of my favorite of the early episodes. I so wish they'd find a way to bring back John Blackwolf-- his exchanges with Hotch were epic.

"Just had to shoot someone, didn't you?"

Oh, I loved John Blackwolf. And since Saving Grace is over, the actor has some free time. It would be easy to bring him in, just say he was in DC for a meeting with the BIA or something. and this time, have it be an actual native american perpetrator.

Well, I was going to settle in for a full evening of CM but thunderstorms are thwarting my efforts. The satellite is only coming in intermittantly.

Watched some more Criminal Minds last night, including Thursday eps. Loved "The Tribe" (in fact, I'm rewatching it right now), and noticed something about Reid in several of these eps. When the team is introduced to the local cops, everyone else shakes hands, but Reid stands back and waves instead. Do they ever explain that little quirk?

Oh, and speaking of Reid, A&E showed the S1 ep where he had a flirtation/rather hot kissing scene in a pool with a Hollywood starlet. The rest of the ep wasn't too bad (the actress playing the starlet wasn't the best performer, but at least she didn't have a size-0 body for a change), but the Reid scenes were the best part of the ep.

I also loved the scene at the end where Reid and Morgan are talking about women. It really underlines their big brother/little brother vibe. Reid is totally adorable and Morgan is really sweet.

MGG has said he plays the no handshake thing on purpose as a quirk of Reid's. No deeper meaning, just an aversion to touching strangers.

When did they show this one? I've been obsessively watching A&E and ion and I missed it. Bah.

edit: Did a little research. It was on ion last night. Forgot to tape it since I was watching the A&E eps.

Yes, the fact that they are showing on both ion and A&E at the same time causes dilemeas. I have to keep switching between them to determine which is showing ones I've seen before.

What I'm noticing: ion just started from the beginning again. A&E will show those same episodes a week to 10 days later. A&E also replays that day's eps around midnight. If it comes down to ion or A&E, ion usually wins out because I can catch the A&E replay or record it later. Last night was an anomoly because I was only half paying attention to the TV.

Woot! Just saw Enver in the preview to next week's Lie To Me. It looks like a role he'll hit out of the park.
