“Not dead yet!”

It's probably not warm and fuzzy to be more attracted to Morgan after hearing him talk down a 13 year old at gunpoint, but there you have it. He was sexy as hell. And I believed every word of it.

That was one seriously creepy child. (Apparently also played a young Ben Linus in Lost, so he has experience with the creepy.)

I was mildly annoyed, however, by the quick capitulation at the end by Ellie. It's like one moment she was angry and shoving the journal away, then a few sweet words from Morgan and she's all smiles and willing to give it another go?

I dunno... Not that they needed to drag it out, but still-- it was a little too quick of a turnaround. Even if they'd left it with a "this is going to require a lot of work from both of you," comment that might have been more satisfying.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If anyone is looking for a Halloween costume, Kirsten Vangness has tweeted How To Dress As Garcia:

That's just wonderful. If I were going to Halloween party where anyone would likely get it, I'd slap on an appropriate wig and go as Garcia.

Well, she has imprinted on Morgan a bit, and she's nine. (And CM shorthands the emotional impact all the time, sadly.)

I know. And I know nine-year-olds are capricious creatures and heaven only knows, that child has seen a lot, unfortunately. The bitch of it is, when CM delves into the emotional impact, they get it so right and I was really hoping for that to be the case here.

They really do, they just don't do it enough (imo).

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My current thought - a really cheezy robot costume (carboard and aluminum foil or awful discount store version if cheap enough and cheesy enough), giant pen made from paper towel tube, coffee filter and paint. A robo-signer. Maybe I should cross post in the crafts threat (minear)in case anyone wants to suggest practical tips for carrying out.

Sorry, ita. I almost didn't post it here, but we've posted similarly in Comedy. Mea culpa.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Barb, that's verboten even with spoilerfont.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Just watched the new production of "Sherlock" on Masterpiece Mystery. Not sure if it should go here or in Boxed Set.

It was lovely fun.

Definitely not Boxed Set. Definitely here.

Just rewatched the swinger episode of Criminal Minds. Garcia and Prentiss rock so hard. Emily!

Also "Every day. It's implied." from Morgan to Garcia is wonderful.

eta: It's not allowed in Comedy either, Barb.
