I've been watching old CM episodes and it struck me (a while ago, but I haven't brought it up) that JJ was no shrinking violet. She was more in touch with her emotions than the others have been, but there were a couple of episodes where she was as much a hard ass as any of the others. The one where Garcia was shot (I'm terrible with episode titles, so bear with me) ends up with her shooting the bad guy and not turning a hair.

Penelope. Well, that's the one after she got shot, where JJ killed the bad guy.
She's the only CM alum with one shot, one kill. Human, that is. We don't know her shot ratio for the dogs she took out.
eh ... the dogs died, she didn't
We only heard three shots from Reid's perspective in the corn field, so I'm guessing she went three for three on the dogs.
CM: I found Ashley far more recruit-like this week-- asking questions and learning. I can live with that.
And they are setting up Prentiss for quite the breakdown, aren't they? ::sigh::
I just finished watching last night's CM. Really well done, even though it was almost exclusively Morgan. Strauss has grown on me over the years, so I like it when she makes her occasional appearances.
One thing that stood out for me was how very Shawshank the score was--way to go, music writers!
Kyle Secor is still a hottie.

Mm... yes. And Phillip Casnoff, sadly, is not.
Good to know. I haven't seen him since VM Season One. Although I often think of him when I eat a grilled cheese sandwich, because of the Bayliss white-boy-grilled-cheese thing.
I was watching Ion's CM reruns last night, from Tabula Rasa through The Angelmaker.
Both Tabula Rasa and The Angelmaker hold up really well as standalone eps. I love all the flashback stuff in TR--the first time we see young Reid, he's wearing the same sweater he was wearing in the series pilot (even though MGG's face has definitely changed a lot over the years, especially the chin and nose), Morgan is back in his suit and tie, and Hotch is wearing his wedding ring. Even better, though, is the modern day stuff. CC (the prosecutor) hitting on Hotch, Hotch taking out the defending attorney by profiling him from the witness stand, Reid re-bonding with the victim's dad and stopping him from killing the murderer, JJ, Prentiss, and Garcia tracking down the murderer's birth mother. Just an excellent ep overall.
