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

Yeah, that last girl was INCREDIBLE. My god. I feel bad for Ashley Gardner, though.

Too bad they could only send 2! But, yay! There are a lot of good women in the queue!

I like Prentiss way more than I had Greenway, but I missed Gideon for a long time and took even longer to come around on Rossi. Mostly I am all about Garcia and Morgan and then crazy for Reid. Those three are what keep me watching. Though Hotchner makes my heart hurt in recent times.

sits next to Cass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I felt the same way when Rossi was first on. It's only going back and watching from the beginning that I didn't like him as much. It's weird.

I do like Gideon's relationship with Reid a lot though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That page suggested that I might be interested in this article: [link] It was right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

DNA analysis of the land-loving, spiny echidna has found it was once an amphibious platypus-like creature.

I thought the spiny echidna couldn't get any cooler. I was wrong.

It's true, it has one of the lowest body temperatures of any mammal.

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

I found Gideon pretty insufferable on rewatch. His relationship with Reid was about the only thing that redeemed him for me. He was too snooty with everyone else. I don't think it was too much of meta colouring things.

I think Joe Mantegna is very wasted--Rossi is a delightfully egdy character from what we've seen. There could be so much more. But there isn't time.

I also like Prentiss a lot. I thought Greenaway was a textbook shrill Daddy's girl with issues and a gun. Prentiss is a much more together action heroine.

He's just...weirdly smug. It grates.

That whole "why did he stutter?" thing they had at the start, it just seemed set up to put a halo on his head. Never bought it, never dug it.

Was almost trapped in my dress. The head came off the zipper at the side that gives extra room for getting in and out of it, so I had to kinda sneak in and pop myself out. A bit close there on the way out.

Back at the safari, and had to play cranky grownup. Damn, when did I become that person? But there's like ten college(?) age kids crammed into the room next to us with music and talking we could hear as we got back and got ready for bed, so I went over and was like "we're going to bed. Shut up". (after knocking and getting the "shhhh! ....". Long pause, theeeeen door opens)
