That One Scene In 10x5 Where Hotch Goes To Get The Darth Vadar Helmet For Jack From Garcia’s Friend

The Hotchners in Into the Gotchaverse! ( minus Jack). Inspired by a prompt for Hotch’s birthday week, called “Daisies”. Hotch and Penelope have taken the triplets ( Scarlett, Stella and Theo) for a picnic and Penelope has taught them to make daisy chains, with resounding success. 

Liv became the captain right after Carisi went to the DA office. It was the very end of an episode. Could that scene with Dodds saying goodbye and telling her about the promotion been cut? Also during the Sonny party, he is surrounded by extras who were in the squad room. On a podcast he aka Sonny mentioned how that was something he missed changing jobs on the show seeing the background cop actors as he wasn’t working the same days.

Ah, thank you! Maybe I missed that bit of dialogue or it was badly translated. Aww, that’s sweet that Scanavino wanted the background actors in the squad room to be a part of his goodbye party. He sounds like a stand up guy.

Seriously feeling the desire to write some missing scenes between Hotch and Garcia!  Some ideas I have:

- Post Season 3 finale, the doctor tells Hotch he cannot fly due to his busted eardrum for a few weeks, so he ends up helping Garcia, staying in her office. They bring eachother breakfast in the morning, talk about the divorce/Jack/theatre/art/books and it totally makes up for the horrible time she had with Gideon in Season 1 ( the flowers and note that Hotch sends on Gideon’s behalf need to be acknowledged!)

-Post Season 9, Hotch comforting Penelope after shooting the unsub then teaching her to shoot. 

- Season 7 finale, their chat while they are dancing at the wedding, because he’s really managed to make her laugh and he is smiling, I think!

- Season 9, the Halloween episode, Hotch stays to help her clean up after her Day of the Dead party, she gives him his birthday card and present

- Post-performance after Garcia’s play in Reflections of Desire. Hotch gives her flowers in her dressing room, she invites him and the gang to come out for drinks with the rest of the cast! 

- Season 12 to 15 e-mails that are written but not sent between Garcia and Hotch ( they both chose the same codenames for eachother!) about their lives etc as they never got to say goodbye properly!

-Post Season 15, Hotch and Jack come back to Quantico, bump into Penelope, friendship is rekindled, they get super close, swapping horror stories about dates, spending lots of time together, and eventually get together romantically!  What would you like to see?  Other ideas gratefully received too!

Criminal Minds rewatch

Just rewatching the Season 2 finale, and am shocked that Gideon knows nothing about flowers, his descriptions ( kind of like a dandelion, with yellow floofy petals and a black dot in the middle, but not a weed) are dreadful, and Hotch has to talk him through his purchase ( chrysanthemums are not a good flower to buy for a date, Gideon!) and thank goodness that Gideon didn’t buy Garcia flowers when he had to be prompted to get her a gift when he invaded her office and really annoyed her in Season 1! It just makes my heart happy that Hotch knows about flowers, I can see him being really clued up about all the meanings ( yellow roses for friendship) as he was, canonically, a bit of a nerd growing up, with his coin collecting.

It’s also really poignant to see the first victim on the list, I got total Haley parallels/foreshadowing.

Gideon and Garcia actually getting on and him listening to her, explaining things to her in a non-patronising way and appreciating her input just warmed my heart. I like to think they got closer after the Tobias Henkel episodes, as they have a sweet moment when watching the video where he puts his hand on her shoulder and she reaches her hand up to squeeze his, so they are drawing comfort and reassurance from eachother because of their mutual affection for the person onscreen.

Kathleen is definitely not Daddy’s girl from Seasons 6-10, as she gets into lots of trouble and arguments with her dad, because of her undiagnosed bi-polar.

I think we see enough of Elliot as a pretty good dad in the early Seasons. In Season 1, we see him take Dickie to the park and make him fly across the monkey bars ( the episode with the falsely-accused paedophile) he reads Twas The Night before Christmas to the twins in Nocturne (and they climb all over him, giving him hugs and kisses), in Wanderlust, he does Lizzie’s hair ( so probably did Kathleen’s and Maureen’s too), then he kisses them all goodbye and tells them he loves them when he is called into work, he plays soccer with Kathleen, he apologises to Maureen when he comes down too hard on her in Sophomore Jinx and Chat Room… He and Maureen butt heads a little in later Seasons, but they have quite a sweet, teasing relationship based on what we see in the Season 2 premiere. His relationship with Dickie is very warm and affectionate until Turmoil in Season 11. Dickie plays a game with him in S5 Home, accuses his dad of cheating and he playfully growls at him, chases him and catches him which shows how playful their relationship is, Dickie spends a few days with him in S6 Game, and in S 10, Lunacy, their closeness is very nicely portrayed too. In S 6, Contagious, they all come to the precinct to celebrate their dad’s birthday, he gives them all hugs and kisses. There’s an episode in S6 where Dickie has appendicitis and Elliot stays with him the whole time ( he knows his son ate lots of ice cream and watched Jackass on repeat, so must have been there to witness it) which also shows his dedication and love for his son. I wish we’d seen and heard more of Lizzie, there was certainly potential there. Maybe an episode with her theatre teacher being accused of having a relationship with another student, her dad investigates and thinks the guy is guilty, but Lizzie thinks he is innocent, so they disagree over that. Or she fake dates a gay guy on the cast as his parents are homophobic and he can’t come out to them but has to her, Elliot can tell there is something not quite right about the relationship and fears the guy is pressuring her/abusing her in some way…

I like how Elliot has very different relationships with all his children, but I always felt the show did a good job showing that he loved them and they loved him.

Did Elliot work when he was in Italy with Kathy and Eli? He expresses that he’d love to be a stay at home dad in at least one episode, so I thought Kathy would work in Rome and he would do the childcare/house chores/school pick-up/take Eli to playdates, the park and his activities… We know he did the day shift with Maureen when she was a baby/toddler , and studied/worked at night, while Kathy had a day job and then did the night shift. So Elliot did grocery runs, park trips, playgroups, stories, meals etc with Maureen, so had lots of time with her, which probably made them extremely close. I definitely had her down as a Daddy’s girl when she was younger, as in S1, she’s pushing him away/off his pedestal a bit. There are entire Seasons with no mentions or appearances from the kids ( notably 4 and 7), which I always thought was a shame. Maybe the kids thought it would have be3n better/easier if their dad died, but I can’t imagine any of them actually saying that to his face. I think they are more worried about losing him after Kathy dies, to be honest, especially Eli.

it’s almost a pity that the shows favour kathleen (daddy’s girl) and eli (got the good childhood) when it comes to elliot’s kids cause in any other universe oc s1 would have had a scene where one of the other three tell elliot point blank that they wish he’d died in place of kathy. and they’d be right.

Aw Becky, maybe the saviour of the episode.

Not that it's a bad episode and it needed saving but this conversation *finally* happening.

I like how Becky says Elliot looks well rested after what had happened and he just makes a non-commital 'mm' noise. I think this man can survive on miminal sleep by this point.

Her little pat on the bed to make his sit down beside her. It's adorable. And it shows a sweet side to Becky who has had so little to do so far.

Becky letting Elliot into some secrets between her and Eli, things that he's not been able to speak to his Dad about. His obligation to become a cop. Her telling Elliot he really loves him and he doesn't want to disappoint him.

Admitting to him how scared she is and Elliot telling her to breath, a nice callback to when Bernie talked about her fear of being a cops wife in episode 2. How El just hugs her to reassure her.

The release from confessing all of this to him.

Pretty in Pink? More like Handsome in Red!

Criminal Minds Season 13

Barnes as the person in charge is just awful! She makes Strauss look like an angel and gives me serious Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter vibes ( “Order! I will have order!”).  Seeing the team in different roles just makes me so sad, especially Penelope.  JJ as Unit Chief is just about the stupidest decision I ever heard, really not a fan of her character, and haven’t been since she stopped being liaison officer.  Alvez and Simmons have more depth and are more interesting.

Love Spencer and Emily’s relationship, they have such a lovely older sister-little brother dynamic.  Still missing Hotch and Morgan! Some of my favourite episodes is when the team is at its smallest in Season 4, which is one of my favourite Seasons overall.
