According to what MGG said in his blog, if the same injury had happened 40 years ago, they would have chosen to amputate because they would not have been able to fix the knee.

Yes, it was apparently one of the worst knee injuries the surgeons had ever seen.

OMG. How terrible. Did he have a knee replacement?

No, but he had (I think) four separate surgeries, and multiple screws of varying lengths put in to hold everything together while he healed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. That post is wow. I knew it was really bad, but I had no idea it was that dramatic.
Yeah, no way they would let any TV injury drag on that long. It's boring. Shemar Moore also broke his leg during that time, but lightly. He's got a walking cast on for a bit.

Reid and Morgan caught in the elevator in Scared to Death! So much funny!

Both of them shrieking for Hotch--soooo hilarious.
I was just watching "Reckoner" on my dvr, and I love the opening, when Hotch busts Reid on his lie about being able to fly. Prentiss says, "Naughty boy!", and then when Reid tries to convince Hotch that, since he's a doctor, he can override the "other" doctor's orders, Garcia asks him what he calls that excuse. His response--"A second opinion." Garcia then says, "You're my bitch now."
I thought that was a nice callback to S1's "The Fox," when he asked her if the hacking she was doing was legal and she says, "No, we'll all go to prison where you'll be someone's bitch," and he just looks at her in horror and says, "Really?"

And later in episode Reid's on a conference call with Hotch, Prentissand Morgan and mentions that Morgan freaked out in the elevator and Morgan takes umbrage.
There should be a Morgan and Reid show!

Y'all, I will only be caught up through season 3 when the new season starts. I don't think I can watch any faster. Pout.
