#Lauren/Ian

CBS special feature on the Lauren arc. (Not my video - found on YouTube)

A look into the creating of the Lauren storyline and behind the scenes of filming.

It confirms that the spy storyline was only conceived when Paget was sacked - just prior to filming starting on season 6. This means that any foreshadowing in earlier seasons was unplanned! I love the Lauren arc but can’t help but wonder how much better it would have been if that part of Emily’s backstory had been considered prior to her introduction - and if they didn’t have to rush it due to Paget’s leaving. How good would the foreshadowing have been if it had actually been planned? What other little glimpses into her spy past and mindset could we have been treated to? And most importantly - could we have had more flashbacks of Lauren and Ian romping around France in cosy taupe knitwear and white linen?

Some quotes from the video:

“An Espionage story for Prentiss just felt right ….. The question is how deep, how dark, how twisted can we go with Prentiss and still maintain her character but really fill in for the audience this is who she is.” Breen Frazier - Supervising Producer

[on Ian Doyle] “As with any superhero they have to have the arch nemesis and we thought that’s what she has in her past, somebody that she maybe even cared about and how sorta muddy that gets. So within her secret life there were secrets”. Erica Messer - Executive Producer

When Ian Doyle Told Emily That It Wouldn't Be The First Time She Killed An Innocent, But It Would Be The First Time She Had To Watch, That IS NOT An Indication THAT Emily Has Killed An Innocent Person Before!

That was when he thought someone had killed Declan to hurt him, to break him.

What Ian Didn't Know Was, That was Emily's Hand Holding the Gun Pointed at Declan & That She Faked Killing Him to Keep Declan Safe from Ian & The People Who WOULD Have Killed Him to Break Ian.

Yeah! Em did something "shady", but it was to protect an Innocent, NOT Kill Them.

i think declan touching doyle’s hand and saying ‘i remember you…’ and doyle responding ‘i’m sorry’ was the perfect way to end the emily & doyle & declan arc. it’s the perfect way to show that in a horrible, dysfunctional way they were a family (forced to be!!) and even though emily and doyle wanted each other dead and declan lives without both of them, a little bit of each other will live in all of them forever. honestly including this in the same ep where it’s revealed declan was born through doyle keeping his mother captive to force her to give birth, and emily’s disgust at that really makes this arc more powerful and tragic. like - she had to live with that man and make loving him believable. she had to believe 100% she was in love for him for this to work, not to mention she was further trapped by actually caring for declan and wanting to know he was okay. it’s a painful, confusing situation with no good outcome. if it’s not believable, you die and compromise the operation. if you believe it, you compromise your morality and identity and when everything ends you feel as though you’ve destroyed your home, your family. emily was left feeling so empty. god <//3

“Getting intimate with a killer is... So different.”

EMILY PRENTISS DOESN’T WANT TO WORK WITH A SERIAL KILLER AGAIN AND NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND WHERE SHE MIGHT BE COMING FROM!

YES SHE FEELS GUILTY FOR DOUG!

HAS THE WHOLE TEAM FORGOTTEN ABOUT IAN DOYLE!?

“There's no fixing how I feel right now, is there?”

criminal minds ship lauren and ian too!

While I'm obsessing about Lauren, can I just say... the subtle tense-up she does when he starts unbuttoning her shirt is devastatingly perfect and I hate that so many women have done it, just like that.

oh! also! while we're on the subject of pride month and Damien and A Neon Darkness, that character of course would be NOTHING without the incredible voice behind him - Charlie Ian. the audiobook of AND is sO GOOD CHARLIE IS SO GOOD and also Charlie is a trans woman and uses she/her pronouns and she and I both thought people might like to know that!!!!

Rewatching "Lauren" is so heartbreaking. Everytime I rewatch the Doyle storyline, I act like it's my first time seeing it. Genuinely an insane few episodes, knocks me off my feet everytime
