This piece on Mad Men includes video of the opening sequence (I think) of Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Last night, I decided to finally watch all of CM's "100" on YouTube (after watching bits and pieces of it in the past). Great ep, gutwrenching, and Gibson broke my heart. Also, I loved that they went with nothing on the soundtrack other than Hotch's breathing when he was clearing the house before finding Haley's body.

Question: We've not seen them do that Reid-recites-a-conversation-from-memory thing before, have we? It's obvious how he's doing it--since's he's a visual eidetic, he's converting the phone conversation between Hotch and Foyet into a transcript and visualizing that in his head--but that's something new I don't remember seeing on the show.

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

No, they've never made any previous reference to him having an above-average recall of the spoken word. But it was too perfect in this episode, and it seemed apparent in his delivery that he wasn't hearing it to repeat it.

In fact, they have made the point that he remembers what he reads, not everything he hears.

During the conversation, they cut to a reaction shot of Reid, and he's obviously concentrating, with his eyes moving back and forth like he's reading the words while they're bein spoken. A very cool way for a visually-oriented person to remember the spoken word, I thought!

not everything he hears

It's possible, even likely, that there was a transcript made of the conversation that he read. That was my hand wave.

Last night's Ion rerun was "P911," the child-being-put-up-for-sale ep from S2. The throwaway line Reid has when he asks Elle which soap opera she was going to watch made me remember this fic, which is hilarious (and was prompted by that ep).

A Real Rain is the CM on A & E right now and it features one of my favorite team scenes from the Gideon eps. It's the extended meal in a Chinese restaurant, where we learn that Reid has no idea how to eat with chop sticks and compares it to foraging for food with #2 pencils, and he marvels that millions of Chinese people stay alive that way.

Oh and it also has Hotch smiling on the phone with Garcia.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've just started watching CM from the start. (I've only ever seen one other ep, "Uncanny Valley".) Caught the first eight eps so far. I think my favourite ep so far is "LDSK", where Hotch gains the UnSub's trust by kicking the crap out of Reid. (And where Reid assures him it was ok, because "You kick like a nine-year-old girl.")

What is it people dislike about Gideon?
