Thank you for the thread, Ana

I'm so glad the show is back

Can't wait to see the show later

OMFG the whole eyeballs thing was so creepy and gross. I had to look away several times! And I love horror films! Honestly, the show is becoming so gory!

Of course the absolute best part of the entire episode was the Morgan/Garcia stuff! Like OMFG! What is with the show this year? They barely acknowledged their entire relationship all of last year (other than in "Mayhem") and now there's meaningful stuff with them every episode. Just truly amazing! Now, if Morgan can just dump that other chick, everything would be cool there.

Poor Hotch. I can't wait until the catch the Reaper because then maybe he'd find some much needed peace.

On a shallow note, I really loved JJ's hair in this episode. AJ Cook is so pretty!

I feel sorry for J.J creepy guy wanted her eyes! Now i feel creepy saying that A.J cook has nice eyes. But she did look really pretty this episode.

Good episode. I'm not really a fan of Morgan i can take him or leave him, but i'm really interested to see how him as the leader pans out!

Morgan better thank J.J for his office! Garica wasn't alone in getting him that!

ANd i loved Emily and Hotch in this one, with their little smiles to each other!

Okay, so I liked the episode, a lot.

Of course I wanted Strauss gone, and Morgan back where he should be. For me, the team felt off with Morgan in charge, but I guess I'm going to have to suck it up (doesn't mean I like it).

Of course I love the MG moments, Garcia was the best, but I agree with bandcandy Garcia wasn't alone in getting his office, JJ helped too and it was actually her idea, so he should thank her too. Oh, another thing, he chooses the cases now? I thought we've established that JJ does that

The Hotch/Prentiss moments

but I guess you all know that

The smile they shared melted me completely.

And as sad as it makes me, I actually like Tamara

I think she and Morgan are cute.

And I was so glad I didn't have to feel bad for the unsub, and man was he creepy

but the creepier, the better

Generally, I like it just fine.

bandcandy · 11-05-2009, 12:37 PM

I agrre creepy unsubs are better!!

I think Morgan is trying to run the BAU how he wants it done. Different people have different ways of running things. However, i think it would be interesting to see him and JJ butt heads over him choosing the cases. As we all know that JJ is the one that tells them where to go. When she said that to Hotch it made it sound like no one really knew that she did that. Hotch lent on her alot with the administration side of the team, and i'd like to see if Morgan does the same.

YES. YES. And YES. LOOOOVE THEM. I was going fan-girly over them the entire time. And yes, that other chicks has got to go.

It's kinda cool to see the differences in leadership style between Hotch and Morgan. It both works, but still it would take time to get used to Morgan running everything.

How creepy! I watched it last night and I had to pause sometimes because I was afraid.

And he wanted JJ's eyes...just creepy. And another unsub I didn't feel sorry for at all. Good because I got a bit tired of feeling sorry for all the bad guys.

I guess I'm the only one here, who enjoyed Morgan being in charge. It felt weird, of course, because it was something new but he was good and he is a leader. What was he supposed to do any way? He did what he had to do, he has to be the team leader now. And as far as I understood it, Morgan chose the case together with JJ, not on his own. IMO Morgan is the right candidate.

Reid getting all excited that the unsub takes the eyes cracked me up. And when the detective asked if they really ate the eyeballs and Reid was like: Yeah. Cutest face ever! We had a bit more Reid but still not enough.

Morgan/Garcia friendship is so cute. The fun zone.

But I hope the writers will never get them involved, it would ruin the dynamic of the team and the show. What I love about the show is that they don't pair up any team members, they just show that they are very close, like a family. With romances, the premise of the show would shift and I would hate CM to concetrate more on couply things than on cases. I stopped watching CSI, Bones, etc because at some point it wasn't about the cases anymore.

I liked how they edited the scenes of JJ giving a profile to the public and the rest of the team givinh one at the station.

I enjoy this season more than season 4, so far.

What I miss this season: Reid obviously and Reid/Morgan scenes.

Hello everybody!

I've been lurking on this site and decided to join tonight.

I'm OK with Morgan being the acting unit chief. He did a great job of picking a case and helping to solve it. I just love how the team members are willing to pitch in to do whatever it takes to keep them together. That selflessness is heartwarming for me.

I'm not sure what to make of Tamara. I agree with Garcia a few weeks back; it feels like the relationship is crossing a line. Morgan should know better.

Last but not least, I enjoyed Wednesday's episode, especially the MG moments! I love Morgan and Garcia's relationship--it helps relieve the tension from the otherwise creepy drama going on. I hope the writers don't take it further though--relationships get messy, and CM doesn't need a messy relationship on top of the psychopaths the team is already managing, IMO.

Anyhoo, I look forward to posting with everyone!
