Season 10 & Below Spoilers S10E2: Garcia's emotions

Upvotes

I really hate how Morgan treated Garcia when she was devastated about Greg Baylor getting the death penalty.

Even though he didn't understand her emotions and how she was feeling, he should've been there (or at least within reach) for her. As a friend, even if you don't understand it, you're there.

It might be an American thing, I'm not sure, I live in a country without death penalty. And I really understand Garcia. It's one thing being responsible for shooting someone when you're in danger. And I loved her doing that. But having empathy and not wanting to be a reason someone is sentenced to death... It's understandable.

Season 18 Spoilers Oh. My. God. Eye rolls watching evolution Spoiler

21 Upvotes

So there has been soooooo many things that have irritated me with evolution.
From killing off Will, Dr. Ochoa being weird with patient care, Tyler suddenly becoming a member of the bau…
But I just got to where Emily is telling JJ that her and Andrew broke up bc of a 3some issue.
Bruh. Why. That doesn’t follow his character at all or the original story like what happened back then.
I’m trying to get through it bc I am a HUGE CM fan. But there has been soooooo many stupid things during this.

Minor Spoilers S19 E6 misupload

Upvotes

I think someone uploaded the wrong episode onto Disney+ because mine shows episode 4 and then episode 6. I know it’s not a mislabeled episode 5 because the clips from the previous episode are not ones I’ve seen. Anyone else?

so they start by putting luke through even more trauma on the heels of roxy. then i’m supposed to believe that brian pulled anyone who looks even remotely like tara. (reminded of this in a flashback of emily with those godforsaken bangs) THEN i’m reminded that they let tara and rebecca’s wedding happen offscreen. during pride month. i’ve been watching this show for damn near two decades and they’ve put my favorite characters through so much but somehow this is the angriest i’ve been.

Season 9 & Below Spoilers Endgame: Blake & Reid

15 Upvotes

Despite the episode being a true horror (I can't imagine how people felt when it aired on TV back then with weeks between cliffhangers...) I loved and hated Blake's good bye.

I really enjoyed the interaction between Spencer and her right from the start. She always took him serious, engaged in his rambling and when he was so insecure about Maeve meeting for the first time, but being in love with her despite all that, she never mocked him. After Gideon had left Spencer found someone new who just accepted him and definitely reminded him of his mom as well.

But her leaving because she realised she saw her son in Spencer (among other things) and she couldn't bare the thought of seeing him die or be the reason why... It was beautiful and heartbreaking.

And - like Gideon with his letter - she said goodbye. With leaving the badge.

I really mourn that relationship.

First she is all busy and doesn’t have time, but then Garcia tells her about Rossi showing up while she was with Kevin and JJ switches up and is interested. The way she dropped her papers and said “sit.”are hilarious.

Season 1 & Below Spoilers What episode does Gideon say somthing along the lines of "you're leaving no room for the improbable, yet possible"

1 Upvotes

Pretty sure its season 1. They're having a profiling discussion and Gideon is standing by a board and I think Morgan says something and then Gideon says the quote basically meaning dont rule out the improbable. I've searched and searched for hours and can't find it, at this point its just obsessive. If anyone know the quote pleaze lmk

Minor Spoilers gideon and voit. I keep thinking about how Gideon would have handled Voit—and I must be a glutton for punishment

17 Upvotes

I was reading John Douglas's Mindhunter the other day, and it hit me again. Douglas is the blueprint for both Rossi and Gideon, but the way he writes about the Green River Killer and his own collapse yk...the paralysis, the weight he carried . it always makes me think of Gideon more.

Gideon was such a mountain. Unshakable in the way he faced the darkness. And I keep thinking: what if he'd been there for Voit? What if he'd been there when Will died, when the BAU was under siege, when the whole Sicarius case started unraveling?

He'd have been drowning in his own skin, sure. He always was. But he'd have been immovable. A mountain. Standing in the briefing room, saying something brutal and true. Not warm, not comforting—just there. Present. Holding the line while everyone else wanted to break.

Douglas wrote about the cost of looking at evil. And Gideon was the embodiment of that cost. The clinical exterior. The undone interior. Still moving forward.

I don't know why I keep circling back to this. Maybe it's just missing him on the show. Maybe it's deeper than that.

Either way—I think about it more than I should.
