things that scare rossi:
nothing. he's been in the bau since the beginning; he's seen the very worst of humanity and nothing phases him anymore.
roadtrip with reid
(sidenote: politely asking for no criticism/advice on these gifs. i know they're bad, it's the first time i've put literally any effort into making them. down the line i'll be happy to hear it, but right now i just want to practice).
I think rossi's drive with reid went better than he thought would.
this is really the first scene where we see a mentor-mentee dynamic developing between rossi and reid, and i think it probably happened on the drive up to philadelphia (a drive that would have taken about three hours according to google maps).
rossi's line in the second gif is especially telling for two reasons. first, he's giving reid advice on how to present evidence to a court, positioning himself as a mentor figure. (to my understanding, court testimony is most of what the real-life bau does. a lot more court testimony and long-distance consultations and lot less fieldwork). second, he says when. to me, this is rossi accepting reid as a Real FBI Agent for the first time. to him, reid testifying in front of a courtroom as to the psychology of an unsub is an inevitability. (which, again, i know in real life would be a given, as that would be the majority of his job. but cm appears to take place in a parallel universe where the bau's job description is Yes.)
and then reid responds to this by adding on more information. im not 100% sure he was originally going to say that—there's a pause between the end of his first line and the beginning of rossi's, so it's not as if rossi interrupted him, and he stammers a little in the beginning, as if he's nervous and adding more info in an attempt to impress rossi, or the hypothetical judge. ("see! i can do it!")
and rossi compliments him on it, and reid smiles. partially because he has daddy issues, partially because rossi is one of his heroes, and partially because this is the beginning of their dynamic.
anyway. now im wondering what that drive was like, if it appears to have (at least slightly) changed rossi's opinion of reid. sound off.
happier with these gifs, so feel free to critique. i know the subtitles are hard to read when they're against the white paper, sorry! should have made them darker.
ough and now we have reid (attempting to) comfort rossi when he blames himself for jill being abducted. it doesn't work great but he tries! he feels comfortable trying! and the first-name basis. it's a little weird because i think reid mostly calls him rossi and when he is addressed by his first name, it's usually dave, but. first-name basis!! paternal figure number four is finally here!
sorry the second subtitle is so short. still figuring things out.
forgot how good limelight was. jill morris really strikes the right balance between a character you dislike but not so much it makes the episode unwatchable. she has just enough redeeming qualities to make her occasionally bearable.
that's not to say i don't end the episode still disliking her. i very much do. she sucks, but she feels like a person who sucks, not like a character designed to be an obstacle and not much else.
i wish she'd reappeared. i would have loved to see how she devolved (or how she got better!) and she gave some really good insights into rossi's character via parallel that i would have loved to see more of.
