You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

And minor nit, but for heaven's sake, could someone other than Morgan save the Child in Peril?

Hotch actually yelled at him, "Morgan, go!" as if Rushing Into Danger was his job. Which, really, isn't a bad thing; this way they don't have more than one agent flinging themselves into peril at one time. Every one of them probably felt the urge to run to save the little girl, which would not have been a good thing.

“Not dead yet!”

Seriously, I think that's Morgan's niche on the team (and part of the reason he's so beautifully fucked up), he's danger guy. He gets upset when someone else gets to put themselves in harm's way, like when Reid had to get on the train with the crazy guy and he tried to convince Reid to teach him sleight of hand in 15 minutes, so he could go in.

Yeah, he does have a special affinity with bombs- "Empty Planet" and "Mayhem" come to mind, but as Zen pointed out, in this case, it was Hotch sending him in.

Like I said, it was a minor nit.

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

It was like once they figured out who the UnSubs were and their motivations, the use for Reid was done, so they dismissed him to command, never to be heard from again.

But he had done most of the heavy lifting up until that point though. Nobody other than Garcia really did anything that worked out who they were. It was all him and his Anonymous knowledge.

“Not dead yet!”

That's what I meant by unbalanced, though-- he was in the ep so heavily, then he wasn't. It had a slight whiplash feel to it.

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

Bones: I still think Max had something to do with it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That was a really good Bones.

Was there a new Mentalist last night? TiVo doesn't seem to have known about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My DVR doesn't think so either.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Mine recorded but I can't remember if I have it set for new episodes only.

“Not dead yet!”

Mentalist wasn't new. It was the episode where we met Jane's brother-in-law and saw a bit of the carney life he used to lead.

Loved Bones. Poor Sweets! He was such a total woobie in this ep. Loved Caroline and loved that when Booth noticed that Sweets was back to normal and asked what happened, Sweets responded with "Caroline hollered at me."

Love Arnold Vosloo as Jake. He's going to make a fascinating adversary.
