Criminal Minds 2x13 - Tumblr Posts
just noticed that gideon pronounces nevada as nev-AD-a in no way out and im choosing to believe he pronounced it as nev-AH-da until he met reid and nearly got murdered by him for pronouncing it WRONG!!!
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.
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):
man i remember liking no way out a lot more than i did. i think my issue was that yes, frank breitkopf is scary. yes, his MO is horrifying. yes, the concept is disturbing. but the characters would not stop commenting on that. i dont have an issue with them being horrified, because obviously they would be, but it just felt excessive. we don't need a close-up on reid's horrified face as they enter frank's trailer and hotch saying "i thought i'd seen everything." i dont mind them establishing that this is the worst case they've had, or that "even these people, who deal a lot with things too fucked up and weird for local law enforcement, find this too fucked up and weird." my problem was that they kept establishing that every five seconds. like. okay. i get it.
i did really like the framing device/use of in media res, though. if you haven't seen it, the episode starts with gideon meeting frank in the diner, then it goes back to the beginning and continues in chronological order with occasional returns to the diner scene, continuing until we reach the diner scene itself and continue from there. i especially liked the way they repeated the beginning of the opening to establish that we were back where we started—i got excited when i saw that waitress again lol. i like it in general when cm plays with the formula.
i agree! if i could cut either reid's expression or hotch's line that immediately follows it, i'd cut hotch's line. the expressions are very good (especially the last one where it looks to me like he's trying not to be sick) and i generally like subtler moments.
