S7. E5

Reid and Garcia discuss apparitions after Reid startles Garcia. He provides a scientific explanation for most psychic phenomena, but then adds, "I do know a three year-old boy that once met a friendly apparition named Leverett Saltonstall." Reid does not explain the name further, but Leverett Saltonstall was the governor of Massachusetts from 1939-1945, and U.S. Senator from that state from 1945-1967. He died in 1979.

Apparently there is a psychic in episode S4E14 Cold Comfort.

Is the S14 episode @darcyfangirlsfrequently the Tall Man episode?

Criminal Minds episodes with evidence or discussion of the supernatural, spirits, and ghosts? I know there's the Emily-centric exorcism episode, but what other ones are there?

[apiratefellinlovewithastar]

Penelope: Jeez! You scared me. I thought you were a ghost.

Spencer: You know, older buildings like this emit low level frequency that you can’t consciously hear. Because the sensory overload can’t be explained, it wreaks havoc with your emotions, inducing fear, panic and dread, hence the feeling of being haunted.

Penelope: What about the visions?

Spencer: Your eyes overcompensate for what your ears are missing. That said, I do know a three-year-old boy that once met a friendly apparition named Leverett Saltonstall.

Penelope, with a slowly growing beaming smile: He was nice?

Spencer: Very nice.

Historical Hour With Hilary: 1x14/1x15/1x16

Welp. We’ve made it through a whole season teaching you about the fascinating history associated with each of our team’s adventures. You can read the whole series here. Otherwise, we’ve got an economy-edition triple-dip that takes us to 1927 Paris, 1931 Chicago, and 1954 D.C.

Paris, 1927: Lucy, Rufus, and Bam-Bam, who quickly gets Bam-Bammed, arrive in the City of Light on May 21, 1927, as Charles Lindbergh completes the first nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris. It was, as you will note in that link, a pretty impressive feat, which took 33 1/2 daring, exposed hours in a frail biplane instead of the six or seven hours in a comfortable modern jetliner that it takes today. However, as the episode makes a major plot point, Lindbergh was completely terrible. He was part of a movement called “America First” that was unapologetically white-supremacist, anti-Semitic (he and Henry Ford, another noted virulent anti-Semite, would get together to rant about the Jews) and racist. He wrote an op-ed in Reader’s Digest in November 1939, in which he characterized aviation and science as:

a gift from heaven to those Western nations who were already the leaders of their era, strengthening their leadership, their confidence, their dominance over other peoples. It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion, another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe -- one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown.

.... yeah, so, he was terrible. Lucy tries to talk him out of this, but doesn’t succeed. Oh yeah, and after Lindbergh’s death, it ultimately emerged that he had seven illegitimate children by three European mistresses (two of them sisters) that he never visited and never told anyone about. Classy.

Fortunately, Lucy and Rufus also meet someone far more awesome: noted Bisexual Icon, Beyonce of her day, French Resistance agent Josephine Baker. Given a full state funeral in France when she died in 1975, she was also a sort of Angelina Jolie, adopting twelve children from diverse cultures and backgrounds that she called her “Rainbow Tribe,” and altogether someone you should know about. As noted, Paris at this time was a glittering, cultured, socially and sexually liberate literary and artistic capital that attracted all kinds of American expatriates, including Ernest Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds, but as Josephine and Lucy talk about in the episode, the name “Lost Generation” comes from the harrowing fact that this generation was decimated and traumatized by the overwhelming horror of WWI. So there’s a poignancy there as well. It was about Gay Paree and living well, but certainly in large part because of the fact that they had just made it through such a calamity.

Chicago, 1931: Al Capone is basically the model for every mob boss and mafia kingpin in every Coppola-or-DeNiro film you’ve ever watched. He was the unofficial ruler of a staggeringly and dazzlingly corrupt city during Prohibition, raking in money from the illegal whiskey trade, and like some of the other outlaws we’ve met along the way (i.e. Bonnie and Clyde, Jesse James) was viewed as a modern-day Robin Hood, especially as he generously funded public welfare in a city hit so hard by the Depression that unemployment reached 50%. But public sentiment began to turn against him after the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, in which Capone’s South Side Italian gang took out seven members of the rival North Side Irish gang, and he was accordingly dubbed “Public Enemy Number One.”

In one of those stranger-than-fiction twists, his brother, Richard Hart (nee James Vincenzo Capone) was in fact an all-star Prohibition agent working for the government, and the brothers Capone obviously had an odd relationship, even if they never quite disavowed each other altogether. An underused Misha Collins also appears in this episode as Capone’s nemesis Eliot Ness, leader of the group of cops nicknamed the “Untouchables” for their resistance to bribes (at one point, Capone allegedly offered Ness the equivalent of $29,000 a week to turn a blind eye) and who were instrumental in finally convicting him of tax evasion on October 18, 1931. Sidenote, if you don’t feel like sleeping tonight, there’s a terrifying story about a Cleveland serial killer who even Ness couldn’t catch. And amusingly for a Prohibition lawman, there’s a beer named after him.

Washington D.C., 1954: I’m about to blow your mind here, I know, but Joe McCarthy was a major dick. He was at the height of his powers between 1950-1954, where he basically accused everyone of being a communist, especially members of the Army, but also other civil servants, public figures, and prominent intellectuals. They were brought up before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which had been established in 1938 but really got its legs under it during Cold War paranoia, and for a while, he was very popular. But after the famous “Sir, have you no sense of decency?” exchange with Joseph Welch, an Army lawyer, not to mention sustained exposure to McCarthy’s crazy during the televised hearings, the American public began to get sick of his shtick. The Senate finally voted to censure him on December 2, 1954, but prior to this, the only member of the Republican leadership committee to oppose him was Senator Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts. Why is that interesting, you ask? Well, because Saltonstall was a direct descendant of Nathaniel Saltonstall, known as the only man in Salem Town in 1692 to object to the witch trials (which we will be visiting in Timeless season 2) and who resigned his seat on the jury in protest, remaining “very much dissatisfied” with the proceedings for a long time after. So standing up to oppose witch hunts was definitely a family tradition.

However, as noted when Lucy and Wyatt meet her grandfather Ethan, a gay man living a strictly closeted life, the Red Scare is much better known than the Lavender Scare. It was a government-level purge of all gay and lesbian employees, many of whom were blacklisted for life, and who were assumed to be possible Communist sleeper agents, because the idea was that the Russians would be able to leverage them to pass sensitive information in exchange for not having their sexuality outed. How the hell the Soviets were supposed to have 100% accurate gaydar that worked all the time for people who knew the most relevant intelligence in the American government, don’t ask me, but homophobes are not known for their critical thinking skills. McCarthyism was a key contributing factor to the climate of rampant fear and hatred of The Gays: the New York Times could run, with no apparent irony or criticism, a headline that blared PERVERTS CALLED GOVERNMENT PERIL. Before this, Washington had in fact been a fairly accepting place for gays and lesbians to live, but the Lavender Scare undid all that (though it did contribute to starting the modern gay rights movement, through Frank Kameny, one of its victims, who began mobilizing to fight back. That link has a picture of him, at 85 years old, attending Pride in 2010, in case you needed to cry today).

Anyway. We hope you have all enjoyed gettin’ educated this season, and we look forward to seeing where our gang will travel next...
