Speaking of the Fisher King, the commentary on Part 2 from the S2 dvds amused me when Bernero said that they (the show runners and writers) figured that setting up all the clues from S1 would keep the fans occupied until the show started up again in September. Then they were floored when the online fandom had figured everything out within a week of Part 1's broadcast. He said never underestimated the ability of the fandom to figure things out again.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nothing keeps the fans occupied except for unanswerable questions. Silly rabbit.
The cast and crew are pretty good to fandom. The Criminal Minds Fanatic blog gets plenty of official interaction, plus most of the cast tweets regularly. Bless.

Wow, there are some really great guest stars in season 4 - Luke Perry, Jason Alexander, Mitch Pileggi, Gina Torres.
I haven't seen the Wil Wheaton one yet, but I was totally convinced that he was Viper (the sleazy guy who taught guys to pick up women) in 52 Pickup.
I just watched Normal and that one broke me. Season 4 is kicking some serious ass so far!
Hah! I was just on Netflix and looked up CM season 5 and they recommended it to me "based on your interest in The Big Bang Theory: Season 2 and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" Um.... okay.

Viper is played by Currie Graham who, along with Garrett Dillahunt (who you'll see as a superawesome creepy villain in the S4 ender) is one of my favorite underrated character actors. He was in a S2 ep of The Mentalist and had better chemistry with Simon Baker than Robin Tunney.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Currie Graham is always awesome. And I find him sexy... although I am not sure he is a universal taste.

OK, I'm confused about the Director's behavior. She seemed to be grilling the team to hang Hotch, but then in the last scene she's all emotional - for her-and concilliatory. WTF?

Quester, I've read reads of the episodes that say she was just making them come up with a solid defense, or that she changes her mind over the course of the interrogations. I'm undecided.

Well, I haven't really watched the episodes she was in in their entirety so I don't have a read on her character. It just seemed like the interrogation scenes were red herrings.

Oh, I'm with you there, Scrappy. I think he's dead sexy. Have you seen that episode of The Mentalist with him? RAWR.
