This Is A Pretty Minor Gripe In The Grand Scheme Of Things And I Don't Know Much About The Subject So

this is a pretty minor gripe in the grand scheme of things and i don't know much about the subject so i could definitely just be wrong, but. i've never understood this exchange. does margery kempe not famously have one book??

Indoors, a woman in a grey cardigan and yellow shoulderbag that resembles a wicker basket. The night sky is visible through the rectangular windows behind her. The subtitle at the bottom of the image read: "Dr. Jessen gave me the book you brought. Margery Kempe."
A man in a yellow striped button-up and dark blue tie smiles. Behind him is a greenish wall. The subtitles at the bottom of the image read: "She's your favorite."
The woman in the grey cardigan, although she has moved to a section of the room with a plant and couch. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "That particular book is one of her minor works."

(sidenote: i don't see it spoken about nearly often enough that diana reid's favourite authour is a woman who, if she was alive today, would likely have been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. i can't speak extensively on that parallel because i'm not especially familiar with margery kempe—i did some research on her after first watching this episode because i was curious if there was a connection, and found that out. i'm unaware of any other parallels, but if anyone more familiar with her has more insight i will love you forever if you share)

i love this line and this scene in general so much. they're trying to figure out what "hour be none" means and reid walks in and gives the answer (with some mostly unnecessary but endearing additional info) and elle responds so affectionately. i really loved their dynamic, however you view it.

Indoors, a woman in a dark zip-up top and white gloves points at a man in a yellowish striped button-up with his back to the viewer. Behind the woman's head is text written in blood, some of which is obscured by the angle and by her head, but what can be read says "HERE THY QU (obscured) D (obscured) H TRULY B (obscured)" The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Reid, do not ever go away again."

bonus (cropped from the next shot):

The man in the yellowish striped button-up (also wearing a dark blue tie, with a brown bag strap over his left shoulder) smiles.

GARCIA: If I may ask, sir, I don't know your name. [looks back to read his ID] Nathan. The thing that I don't get it, our team's there. Why can't we go to Langley? Do I look like a threat to national security to you, seriously? NATHAN: Your name is on a list. GARCIA: A list? What list? I work for the FBI and you're telling me I'm on a list that says I can't go to the CIA? NATHAN: You're on a list. [Garcia's screens change to show she's been given access to the CIA's database] JJ: Uh, Garcia? [Nathan starts doing something on the computer] GARCIA: [whispering] You do know what this means? JJ: What? GARCIA: We'll be able to find out whether Princess Diana's death was really an accident. JJ: I think that's exactly the kind of thing that got you on their list.

HOTCH: What is it? What's wrong? What's the matter with you? GIDEON: I...I just have nothing left. HOTCH: Yeah, I'm tired, too. GIDEON: No, no, no. I needed a place where I didn't have to know what was out there. Where I could just close my eyes and not see bodies torn to pieces or hear children calling out for help. That cabin was the only thing I had left, and this guy took it away from me. HOTCH: Jason... GIDEON: Maybe I'm out of gas.

rewatching criminal minds causes me zero agony (lie)

i think this might be the first mention of reid graduating highschool at twelve? because this line is clearly said for the audience, im sure gideon knows this. im a little surprised it's this late in the season honestly

In an art gallery, a man wearing a black suit jacket over a black, pink, and white striped shirt smiles at a man whose head is out of focus in the foreground. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Spencer was the only 12-year-old in our graduating class. Just the same."

also. i am Clinging to parker dunley in the hopes that there was One Person in reid's high school who didn't treat him awfully. i got the sense from this scene that they weren't friends (reid seems awkward hugging him, but to be fair he's always awkward) and parker's reaction to seeing him ("look at you! nothing's changed!") to me implies he hasn't seen him since he graduated. but like. acquaintances perhaps. a person who treated him like a human being perhaps. thank u parker dunley for being implied to be a normal person. what was going on with the rest of your school.
