You crazy shippers!
Heh. Really I'm not. I don't want to see the team dynamic change on the show. Fic is a way to satisfy the urges but that doesn't mean said urges should be anything more than wishful thinking. This is no Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Spike or Angel/Cordy canon smackdown.
Back, for at least a few moments, at my computer. Anyhow my Reid/Prentiss lurve started because I think one of the first eps I saw was "Minimal Loss" and how they interacted with each other there imprinted so hard on me. Then going back to the beginning and seeing the evolution of their particular relationship was pretty interesting to me—intellectually matching up, the fact that she was the first to confront him with the knowledge that she knew something was wrong, that she compelled him to reread Gideon's letter... little things like that.
And I don't know-- it just really seems that they have more than their fair share of the exchanged glances-- they simply seem to get each other. Of course, squint and you can see the same with all of them.

Speaking of squinting...and squints...was Bones wearing a Dharma jumpsuit in the first scene of the episode?
CM: I hated that JJ had to leave but I loved the "Big strong men" comment, a not very subtle "fuck you" from the writers.
From a bit upthread:
then Spencer blocked his way, I loved the exchange of glances between little dude looking at Spence like "Seriously?" and Spencer coming back with as much of an outright "Bring it, bitch," look as I've ever seen from him and the beauty was how completely subtle it was.
I was rewatching "Children in the Dark" earlier, from early S3, with the unsub team of foster brothers killing entire families. When they find out that the foster mother had been abusing them, Hotch and Reid go to her house because they think the unsub will try and kill her. She's standing on the porch, protesting her ignorance over the accusation of abuse, and Hotch gives her his AHGOD (Aaron Hotchner Glare of Doom), and Reid backs him up with the same look of "don't even think about it" that he gave the unsub this week.

I'm still not okay with it all but damn they just really took the opportunity to say a giant FU to the studio/network.
They made me cry dammit.
Barb, your stories have gotten me to get into the idea of Reid/Prentiss. The only other couple I see on CM is Morgan/Garcia, but that ain't gonna happen unless Morgan does some serious counseling.
Speaking of Reid/Prentiss, I was just reading a really good fic with the two of them, and Reid has a tattoo of his FBI badge due to the events of "Revelations," just in case his body does end up in a grave and it needs to be ID'd. Creepy to think about, but something I could totally see Reid doing.
I may have mainlined too much Leverage, as i had a very....vivid...dream last night involving Elliot. Odd, as he's hardly my type.
Stephen J. Cannell died. Dammit.
