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

Ok, just started on "What Fresh Hell?". OPening scene has a girls' soccer coach training her team bickering with her daughter. I'm having trouble not picturing her shouting "You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded, that's hard!"

More CM. I'm getting the Gideon dislike from "Blood Hungry", where he takes over Garcia's office and treats her as his girl Friday. As Garcia is a bit awesome, this is inexcusable.

Meanwhile, in "Poison", Elle has just helpfully explained to the rest fo the team that Rohypnol is a date rape drug also known as roofies. I know it's audience exposition, but seriously, it's credible that Reid, Gideon, Hotch and Morgan need this spelled out to them?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Mom was waaay ahead of me. I figured I'd introduce her to Criminal Minds (in exchange for her introducting me to NCIS last fall), and when she was settled on my couch tonight and we were done chatting, I told her that I'd get her hooked on this show I'd been watching for a few months now. "Oh, I love Criminal Minds!!" she says. So much for introducting her! I did show her Seven Seconds, which she hadn't seen before, and we started to watch Elephant's Memory and Derailed when she realized she'd already seen both of those. Then she fell asleep during Minimal Loss and woke up to watch most of tonight's A&E rerun of Haunted.

I asked her who was her favorite character, and she said, "I like the girl." Yes, Garcia grabbed another fan. (She can never remember character names, however, other than Reid. She just called Hotch "the really serious guy.")

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Man, Haunted is just gut wrenching. Between the main storyline and then the team trying to tiptoe around Hotch and figure out how he is and how to relate to him. Gah.

“Not dead yet!”

Haunted is yet another instance of the guest star just knocking it out of the park. Sean Patrick Flanery was amazing.

Also, the child who plays the young version of the unsub is equally good. And I loved the older survivor and how they wrote his lifelong issues with surviving something so traumatic.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

As many times as I've seen Lessons Learned, I have never seen the opening scenes before. Emily wowing the team with her reading the message in Arabic out loud is great.

Hotch and Haley still happy...sad now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Someone was asking about the theme song of Rizzoli and Isles a while back. The song is "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" and performed by the Dropkick Murphys. They're a Boston band and the song is played at some Red Sox and Celtics games.

Oh, and Lessons Learned is the episode where Emily tells Reid that Gideon would have beaten him in the chess game in 3 moves, thereby establishing her geek cred.

It was also used for AFL ads over here (Aussie Rules football).
