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.")
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.
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.
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.
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).
Thank you, sj! That makes the choice of it for the theme song make a lot more sense to me.
I want a R&I/Leverage crossover.
Maura's been having a rough time lately. First, her college boyfriend and now she finds out that her father is a mob enforcer.
