Yep. They need more screen time.

The only problem with the Esposito and Ryan show is that they rode a really fine line of playing Ryan like too much a buffoon when he's really pretty bright and good at his job.
Although I did love the "Annie Oakley" line.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm liking Detroit 1-8-7 already. Might be the music.
eta Yep. Best of the new shows so far.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I adore Jon Michael Hill. And I'm glad they're actually filming in Detroit.

I liked Undercovers, although it would have had to completely suck for me to hate it. It was a little simplistic, but I'll give it a shot.
I watched the rerun of Chase. I got a little verklempt when they referred to DC as "Super Court". That's what my marshals used to call it. Point for authenticity.

I'm waiting for Lewis to get back here so we can watch CM. On the upside, I'll be able to fast-forward through commercials.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I wanted so much to like tonight's episode, but after a rewatch, I'm still meh on it. Individual parts were awesome, and the Cohen soundtrack was amazing, but it never came together as a whole. And the final confrontation doesn't jibe with what we know of Morgan.
Argh, I need to be more coherent about this, but I'm finding it difficult. My thoughts have obviously not completely gelled yet.

That had the feel of a massive rewrite in order to set up JJ's departure.
I'm with Maria—individual parts were really good, but other parts were just... meh. Then again, I may be bitter that Spicer was killed, because I really liked him.

Art Crawl!!!
I really liked him too. He and his partner would have been better for a spin-off than the people in the actual spin-off.

AJ did a wonderful job with the material she was given and I'm glad they gave her that opportunity but...I did not think much of the episode at all.
I thought Spicer and Ellie were the best bits. With the exception of JJ's moment in the spotlight I thought the characters I've grown to love were exceedingly dull and mostly just stood around looking puzzled. Morgan's temper flare at Garcia and subsequent comment to Hotch were out of character. I might have bought the shortness but the comment to Hotch was extreme for Morgan who isn't a complainer. Meh.
The whole time I watched, I had vicious thoughts towards the producers over AJ and Paget. I'm not sure I can get over it. I adore the others, but I'm not sure I can stay with the show feeling this level of hostility, and I certainly can't if they don't deliver better episodes.
