I Always Forget That The Hilarious "physics Magic" Scene Happens In The Beginning Of S02e12 Profiler

i always forget that the hilarious "physics magic" scene happens in the beginning of s02e12 profiler profiled. the mood whiplash.

Leave Out All The Rest [T] Chapter 9: Collateral Damage

Reid wakes up after an explosion and realises he’s lost the last 4 years of his memory. The team helps him to adapt, but he can’t help feeling like there’s something being kept from him.

He remembers Morgan lifting him clear off the round in a hug; bruised, alive, heart thundering against Reid’s chest. He remembers wanting to kiss him. He remembers the regret that he didn’t.

“Hey,” Morgan says. Reid looks up, not realising Morgan has gotten so close to him. “You okay?”

“I, um. I was remembering New York.”

hey criminal minds we NEED to talk about your transitions. what the fuck was this. (video under the cut: there is an amputated limb in it. there's no blood, it's not fresh, and the episode is rated TV-14, but it's still a bit gross and gory. i dont think it's that bad but i have a strong stomach so take that with a grain of salt):

REBLOG IF ITS OKAY TO TALK TO YOU.

Please.

finished profiler profiled. im sorry i had no analysis even though it's an episode that would lend very well to analysis but honestly it's like fifteen consecutive gut punches i couldnt.

anyway. so this was my second time watching profiler profiled (got up to 5x01 in my first watch, couldnt watch for a while and started again, got up to 2x01 in my next watch, couldnt watch for a while. introduced my girlfriend to it and we're stuck on 2x05 because she's very prone to secondhand embarrassment and is nervous about the ending (which i spoiled for her because she asked me to). and honestly? i think i might have had a harder time getting through this ep the second time than i will getting through revelations.

not that revelations isnt going to be extremely hard to get through, and if profiler profiled does wind up being harder, it will be a pretty close tie. i think mostly it's just how real profiler profiled is. carl buford is such a realistic and terrifying portrayal of what a lot of serial predators actually look like. he's not a mustache twirling villain. he's charming, he's likable, he's admired and respected and trusted. of course a lot of it is a mask and we see that in the closing minutes of profiler, profiled, but in his daily life nobody knew.

and that's true frighteningly often.

(this is not me comparing traumas or how rough the episodes are, just talking about me and my reactions to them)

GEORGIA: That deputy drove sixty miles just to barf. No good reason to be here, and no even from this department. What is it about death that fascinates us? GIDEON: He didn't contaminate the scene, did he? GEORGIA: No. Uh, Sheriff Georgia Davis. [Gideon ignores her, she turns to face Hotch and Morgan instead] People call me George. [Gideon is fully walking away] This is Deputy Rick Silo. HOTCH: Aaron Hotchner. This is Derek Morgan, and the guy who sometimes forgets his manners is Jason Gideon.
