When Rossi started talking about how he didn't understand why people bothered to send trivial messages and you knew he was talking about Twitter, I started laughing because of JM being on Twitter in RL...
He is also on Facebook lol, which is what I found funny about him talking about it as well.
 
I read the tvguide on the internet. One fan said, Get rid of Rossi, bring back Gideon. I like Rossi better then Gideon, so it my mom. I don't like Gideon. Rossi know how to push Hotch button better then Gideon.

Oh yeah, that's right. :lol:

I liked Gideon, but since Mandy Patinkin didn't want to be on the show anymore I am so glad we have Rossi. Rossi was Hotch's mentor when he first started working at the BAU, and Hotch listens to what Rossi says. And Rossi knows how Hotch thinks.

Apparently that fan was not paying attention to the goings on behind the scenes. Mandy didn't want to do the show anymore and just didn't show up for work one time. They had no choice but to replace him. Mandy said something like he hated doing the show because it was too dark.

I liked Gideon to a point. Thought he was way too mean to Garcia at times though. I just saw that ep the other night where he said "how could you be so stupid?" to her and I wanted to smack the you know what out of him. He couldn't just give her the disappointed dad look like Hotch did? He had to call her stupid?

So yeah, I like Rossi a heck of a lot more than I liked Gideon. And I like Emily more than I did Elle.
 
Rossi was all sorts of awesome last wednesday.And he kind of "fits " better with the team.He is actually my second favorite at the moment.After Hotch of course.Speaking of which,I think is time for the 2 of them to have a talk about what happened with Foyet.Pretty,please?:)

Elle is actually the only character of this show that I never liked.

I appreciate all four characters although I preferred Mandy on Dead Like Me.
 
In my opinion, "The Internet is Forever" is one of the best episodes this season. There is enough amount of profiling which I really like about this show. And of course, the computer skills of Garcia that help every case they are solving.

Another thing is that they never forget to at least have some funny scenes. I don't know but whenever Garcia is doing her work in front of the computer, I always smile or laugh, it depends. :) Maybe because the show is too dark and her jolly character is definitely a stand-out. I laugh at Hotch line for Dr. Reid and of course when one of the suspects called "Mrs. Prentiss"! :lol: at Prentiss' reaction! Personally, I will think twice first before calling someone "Mrs." except if I really know the woman's status. "Ma'am" or "Miss" or "Madam" I think is more appropriate or safer.

I love all the Internet and Networking things they said on the show. Those topics really interest me a lot. I'm not a hacker, though. I'm a Telecommunications Engineer. :)
 
First, Mandy said the last interview when he was on Chicago Hope, he said, he will stay with the show for 2 years and that's it. He get bored with it. He have no idea he got a good show.

Second, I forgot about Elle, I tried not to forget about her, I don't like Elle, I don't know why. I don't feel anything for her like I did JJ, Garcia and Emily. That I do like Emily better then Elle.

I didn't dislike Elle, but to me she was just there. She didn't really do anything for me one way or another character wise. When she was shot that time, I honestly didn't care if she lived or died. :lol: I was just indifferent to the character. I could take her or leave her I guess. :lol:
 
Okay so if that last ep was spooky good, then can you imagine the season finale? Remember Joe said on twitter (I posted a couple pages back) his feelings on the season finale.
"-This seasons finale will screw with your head, freak you out and give you nightmares!!!"

Criminal Minds finale scoop, please! I love Tim Curry. What role will he be playing? Good or bad? — JC

ADAM: Oh, he's definitely bad. Curry plays serial killer Billy Flynn, who preys on his victims in the dark. The team catches up to him in Los Angeles when a series of rolling blackouts nudge him back into action. Co-executive producer Erica Messer says the finale is "the scariest one we've ever done," thanks in no small part to Curry's creeptastic performance. Bonus: Thanks to a cliff-hanger, Curry will be back in the Season 6 premiere.

I know these two were posted a couple pages back just bringing it back up for a reminder and that quote from JM's Twitter (lol sorry went back to "The Internet Is Forever") but I have to say that the two quotes (beginning and end) were somewhat truthful, or at least made me think.

Beginning: Rossi: "The internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had." Eric Schmidt

End: "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." George Bernard Shaw

Criminal Minds' Matthew Gray Gubler: "We Pull a MacGyver Cliff-Hanger

Like the skilled chess player Dr. Spencer Reid is, Matthew Gray Gubler was thinking ahead when he cut his hair last month (and he didn't do it himself this time).

"Every year, they do these cliff-hangers, so it's like, if you want to change anything, you have to predict it and do it beforehand," the Criminal Minds star tells TVGuide.com. "[The haircut's] pretty good. I like it. It's summer fun."

The Season 5 closer is anything but, as the BAU team heads to Los Angeles to trail a serial killer (Tim Curry) who kills in the dark. In keeping with tradition, the cliff-hanger finale (Wednesday, 9/8c on CBS), which also features Eric Close and Robert Davi, involves not just a case, but the uncertain future of at least one team member.

Though Reid, as we learned in Season 2's "The Boogeyman," is afraid of the dark and seems like perfect prey for Curry's Billy Flynn, it's Morgan (Shemar Moore) who's "precariously perched" at season's end. But fans needn't be too concerned, Gubler says.

"We've had some pretty in-your-face finales. We've had a gun at Hotch's head, we've had exploding cars. This one isn't as insane," he says. "I think it's more of a choice. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you even get the impression that Morgan's going to die. I think it's more like, 'What is Morgan going to do?' We pull a MacGyver cliff-hanger."

And where is scaredy-cat Reid? "I'm in a dark room that has backup lighting!"

Keeping Reid out of harm's way is, of course, the complete opposite of what transpired in the season premiere when the resident genius got shot in the knee to coincide with Gubler's real-life injury (from dancing). That led to reduced screen time and a cry from fans for more Reid in the season's second half.

"I think every season they like to showcase different characters. For a few episodes, [my knee] was an issue, but I think, like, Season 2 was a Reid season and this was more of a Hotch [Thomas Gibson] season," Gubler says, adding that Reid has also seen his share of perilous situations over the years. "The writers like to focus on specific characters ... and it's [good for Reid to be] safe in the dark! ... I'm curious to see what Season 6 holds in store."

One thing's for certain: Curry will be back to conclude his sinister role, which Gubler says is "up there" with such super-unsubs as Tobias Hankel (James Van Der Beek), Frank (Keith Carradine) and The Reaper (C. Thomas Howell).

"I think all the unsubs are great. It sort of depends on how much story time they get," he says. "What's the age-old saying? 'There are no small unsubs, only small commercial breaks.' That's the old adage from years ago. He's a good one though. He's definitely top 10."

NOTE: I am removing this part from the spoiler as it pertains to his thoughts on the last ep and other things.

Gubler, who made his directorial debut this season, also hopes to step behind the camera again next year and is considering writing an episode as well. "I totally would write. I've been sort of kicking that idea around a little bit for sure. Maybe if I have some revelations over hiatus, I'll look into that," the 30-year-old New York University film graduate says.

In the meantime, Gubler will do some different kind of writing — as Moore on Twitter. After filming this week's episode, "The Internet Is Forever," in which a serial killer finds victims on social networking sites, Gibson, Paget Brewster and A.J. Cook joined Twitter. Moore is the sole cast member who is not yet signed up, but that will change soon.

"I was on, Joe [Mantegna] was on and Kirsten [Vangsness] was on. That was around the time all the other losers got on. We're moments away from being all onboard, which I'm proud to take a tiny bit of credit for. ... [Moore] texted me pretty late last week: 'I'm going to Brazil, but when I get back, I'm signing up for Twitter!'" Gubler says. "I like tweeting as him. Any time I get to play a joke on Shemar, I'm happy, and I think he feels the same. That's some of my favorite stuff. I might just continue doing that!"

-I LOVE MY SLAP-CHOP! Safe for fingers! I am not a paid spokesperson. I should be. I'm better than that dude who punched that tranny hooker.
-Let me clarify: I'm better than ANYONE who's punched a hooker. I punched a guy once. Because he thought I was a hooker. Swear to God.
-Clarification 2: He was dragging me down a hallway in the Ritz Hotel San Francisco and I punched him. 1995. He was a TV executive. I win.

-50 thousand kisses to all of you!!!....and 35 hugs
 
Thanks for posting that, Destiny. I just can't wait for the finale, and we don't have too much longer to wait. I wonder if Billy Flynn will have an Irish accent?

Paget and MGG are a couple of loveable nuts. :lol:

Rossi was all sorts of awesome last wednesday.And he kind of "fits " better with the team.He is actually my second favorite at the moment.After Hotch of course.Speaking of which,I think is time for the 2 of them to have a talk about what happened with Foyet.Pretty,please?:)

I've been waiting for that conversation all throughout the second half of the season. I figure Rossi already knows the details of what happened to Hotch because he's just that sharp. And if Rossi said to Hotch, "I know what he did to you; you can talk to me about it," I know Hotch would. But for now, all we know is that Hotch is keeping it all bottled up.
 
I really wish we could see more of Hotch dealing with everything that happened. I don't know if we'll get to see something in the finale but a mention on how he and Jack are doing would be nice. I thought that througout the season we were going to see him struggle a bit more. I know that Hotch is really strong and stoic (and that's one of the things I like most) but IMO we could've had one or two more scenes making reference to how's he is dealing and what's happening in his son's life.

I know, and normally that's what we would have gotten. But the only mention of it was in "Risky Business" when JJ told him things would get better. I understand the writers wanting to spend some time on the other characters, but they have veered *too* much away from Hotch's storyline in the second half of the season.
