There's a bit of a discrepancy over Reid's age when he joined the BAU. He did turn 24 in one of the first episodes in 2005, and in LDSK, Hotch does tell the unsub that he'd had to put up with Reid for three years. However, one of the articles that Garcia found on Reid's dad's computer said that he was 22 when he joined, so I'm going to go with that. Also, "Tabula Rasa" was from the end of S3 in 2008, and the events in the flashbacks date to early in Reid's BAU career and are from 2004.
Interestingly enough, the article on his starting with the FBI goes into the fact that all of his intelligence doesn't mean he'd be able to handle himself or victim's families in the field, but Gideon says that "with a little tutelage and some experience" he'd be able to handle himself, which he shows in the flashback in "Tabula Rasa," handling the victim's dad with such gentleness that he still had a connection with the man four years later.
Thanks, Kathy! They're fun for me, especially since it's not something I'm stressing over-- it just sort of flows and it reminds me that I can do the same with my "real" writing.
I keep trying to remember which episode it was where Garcia called Hotch both "Aaron" and "honey" within the context of the same conversation, because it was one of the most hysterical exchanges: "Oh, and Garcia? Don't call me honey."
I think it was in the one set in the bank, which I Tivo'd the other night, but haven't gone back to watch.
Oh holy hell, I just realized why Hailey (Meredith Monroe) always seemed so familiar. I'm watching an episode of Moonlight and she's guesting as the best friend of Mick's ex, Coraline.
Funny how she's so believable as a vampire.
I'm guessing you're not a big Dawson's Creek fan?
Nah, I never watched Cap'n Forehead & crew. I knew most of the primary players from media references, but certainly not all.
She played Pacey's original High School age girl friend. After his affair with a teacher.

David McCallum is the only reason I occasionally watch NCIS.
It's funny--after getting into Criminal Minds, I have no desire to look at NCIS reruns on USA/Ion anymore. I did that with CSI:Vegas, though (after getting into NCIS, I stopped watching those reruns).
Speaking of CM, last night's reruns included two really good eps: Riding the Lightning and The Tribe. I kept The Tribe on the dvr for my mom's introduction to the series next week (I think I'll show her The Fox, Derailed, and The Tribe to start, the first for the creepy, the second for the Reid, and the third for the fun of Blackwolf and Hotch).
