Those skull and crossbone shoes are adorable.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That was a big cliffhanger for Rizzoli and Isles, and it looks like we have to wait until next summer for them to resolve it.

Our cops are specifically taught a technique to get out of that scenario, and it does not involve redirecting the gun at your own stomach.

I would certainly hope so.

Yeah, she shot the guy holding her hostage through herself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You cup the butt of the gun as you grab the barrel. You force the thing perpendicularly away from your body--jam it into the attackers hand to smash his grip, and then extend your body and pull it away from you in front of you where he can no longer reach.
Never ever let the line of fire return upon yourself.

I was watching the S5 CM dvd extras on YouTube last night. The most interesting thing I learned was that Thomas Gibson was the one who came up with having Hotch beat Foyet to death with his bare hands. For me, that was such a pivotal moment to his character, demonstrating the potential darkness that they've always hinted at beneath Hotch's buttoned-up exterior, that I was surprised the writers hadn't been itching to have him do that for years.
Speaking of pivotal character moments, I've been rewatching my S2 dvds this week, and was wondering if anyone can think of an episode from any other series in which the events from one ep were so life-changing for a major character as "Revelations" was for Reid.
So many tv shows try and keep their characters as consistent as possible with only little moments of character growth and development that I'm having problems thinking of other examples. Maybe a David Simon show (Homicide, The Wire, neither of which I've watched regularly), or possibly The West Wing (Josh getting shot comes to mind).

I remember Mark getting mugged on ER as a pretty pivotal character change (it changed him into an asshole, but it was pivotal)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dean going to Hell changed both Sam and Dean quite a bit. Nate stopping drinking on Leverage changed his behaviour...but not so much his character. Peter on Fringe finding out about his father.
Off the top of my head.
