Yay to Paget being back too!

I was happy to see JJ back in the finale (great shot of her legs! LOL) but I wish they didn't show AJ's name in the credits because that ruin the surprise (I didn't think she would be back until next season).

Man this season sucked big time - I think there was only one arc story (Prentiss' exit). And the individual episodes weren't interesting either.

You know, the show is going into its 7th season - they could afford to do more story arcs and character based stuff. I hope the new showrunner (Erica Messer) will make next season good.

I've never understood why we didn't see more of their lives outside the BAU. I mean we got glimpses here and there and of course the big arc with the Reaper (which I hated!!) killing Hotch's wife, but we've very rarely seen what they do when they leave work.

One of the problems with showing their outside lives is that the show needs to be consistent and I don't think they're very good at that. When Prentiss came on she was basically a mole reporting to Strauss because she wanted a job with the BAU but last season we find out she was a super deep cover agent for Interpol. Then there's Hotch's brother who we saw once and never heard from again even after his wife was murdered. We have Reid's magically disappearing headaches from this season which I guess got cured by the same thing that got rid of his Dilaudid addiction.

CM is my favorite procedural (I consider L&O:SVU a comedy now) but they suck at continuity.

And yes, big yay for the return of Paget!

In all honestly, people in that line of work probably don't have much of a personal life. It looks like we are getting a little of it this especially, so far mostly with Rossi. We have seen his house twice and now he is going to have to deal with his ex-wife and her ALS. That will bring up a whole issue because if he follows her wishes to not let her suffer after a certain point.

Bye CM! So [!@#$%^&*] done! Second consecutive year you chose to squander two hours of television, and to kill off Strauss?! Not necessary! Bastards!

Off the DVR, and I'm gonna have to find another way to get my Shemar fix! This show has been garbage for far too long!!!!!

I quickly fell of the "!@#$%^&*] CM" wagon, but I have to say that this was quite a premier. The ending was a very nice twist with a follow up this week. Twins! I will watch Wednesday and then take it week by week.

Shemar is just so damn beautiful! I hope to see him running soon with a gun in hand (wish we could find a reason to have him on horseback with a rifle - wonder who I can contact about that).

    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed.
