Alright. We are here. At the end(ish). CM 16x10 "Dead End".
Spoilers and whatever my addled brain wants to express under the cut. This may be a long one.
I don't know why this show makes me so happy despite its many deficiencies. tbh I think it's bc I am job hunting and this at least gives me a lil shot of dopamine or seratonin or whatever the fuck. Also Paget Brewster.
The things I want out of this season finale: Prentiss. I hope she gets to smile and smirk and not just be mad/sad/worried. I wanna see some good moments for Luke, though I'm less hopeful on that front. I want to see something good for Tara. What that could be...dunno. As for the rest - I don't think I even care that much? I suspect it will end in some sort of cliffhanger.
Okay, now that I have unwisely embarked on this journey in the wee hours of the night...
I wonder who will get to wear the Brown Jacket this episode?
oh boo the black & white flashbacks are still here...I hate that choice.
it's a pleasure to see Krystall again tho. I always liked her.
laying on the ol' "FBI behavioral analysis heroes stop real monsters" schtick real thick there guys. it's funny of me to get annoyed about this on this, the "FBI are real heroes" show. but I do.
good onya Dave, found the mood lighting. LOL at the oxygen meter. LMAO even MORE at Dave finding the wifi router.
it's still so stupid that Will is there lol
this is the first time I have truly hated Elias Voit. who would rather speak to Bailey when Emily Prentiss is right there on the phone? only a stupid little man apparently. although - Bailey would be way easier to manipulate so maybe not so stupid.
omg incredible forehead moment there. ma'am your eyebrows (what have i become)
love the implication that Dave just recites quotes to himself. kinda tracks
this situation with Bailey makes me go *grimace emoji*
has Bailey been a gold star lesbian this whole time?
t's so stupid that Will gets lines and Luke still gets shafted. I don't hate Will, but...really?
god now JJ says "wheels up"? sorry, hate it
WOW okay. So Gold Star is a secret program of some kind. And now we're talking "legal" and "extralegal" options with the AG. boy. whew. god why did I get attached to this fucking show.
though - AG slaying in that black suit/purple blouse situation.
"they would see through it, the BAU" - because the BAU are the good guys, not involved in (implied unethical?) secret shit? what the ever loving shit is this.
Adam Rodriguez just doing the most with his beautiful face and voice. thank you sir
bummer that I have to watch most of Joe Mantegna's acting from a weird vantage point and on a phone screen on a TV screen.
oh wait now we get a Badass Marine Rossi Montage
absolutely incredible, the bizarre combinations of ads I get when I watch this show. After Rossi's explosive moment, I just got served an ad about a disease that causes curvature of the erection due to scar tissue. what the fuck paramount plus
is it just me or did the audio get weird now that we're back in Emily's office
"politics" there that is again
Ghost of Krystall Past! Welcome to the shitshow! you look fabulous
"we were just getting started" I wish they did this echo thing with lines that actually were interesting
I do love Emily being constantly like "WHAT tHE Frickle FRACKLE" but I worry for her blood pressure. can she ride along. I want her in every scene, not just stuck at the BAU on Chicken Roaster time
Elias please tell your wife you want to wear the Moose dog collar and that's why you saved it. whoops missed opportunity babe
Emily. ma'am. you are beautiful, gorgeous, smokin'. etc.
what are you Bailey, a vampire
I mean...I am intrigued about what the fuck this is all about. they've got me on the hook. can they reel me in?
the implication here is that Voit has knowledge/dirt that they want kept secret. So he's a little bit in kind of a Snowden position?
OH SHIT BAILEY DEAD
WILL BEEN SHOT (saw that one coming, why else would he be there). dont worry he's fine guys. no stakes
YAS Tara. There's that steel. I missed that steel.
JJ and Sydney. Classic mom to mom interview, right?
LOL they're begging Sydney to help them find David Rossi, that annoying old dude that accosted her in the cereal aisle.
in my opinion this episode has a weird denouement energy. like...it didn't feel climactic even in the shootout scene. maybe on rewatch
it's really too bad that me and the CME showrunner(s) have such a disagreement on what parts of this show/world are worth expanding upon. the emotional beats/storyline with Elias and family are fine. They are kind of interesting even. More interesting to me than plenty of the 300 some previous unsubs. but...a simple 2 minutes scene of Emily Prentiss in her own home? I would dine on that for weeks, months, years. it's all about priorities. I get it. I've been thinking about that - about the fact that I have not been watching the same show they've been making. I mean...literally I have. But that's how art works in some sense. someone creates a thing, and I encounter that thing, engage with it. I bring whatever I bring to the encounter, and walk away having had an experience that the original creator *might* have intended in and might not, depending on how you define that. maybe we're ships passing in the night. i'm sure i'm not articulating this very well. it's almost 3 a.m. here.
good news for the Tyler dislikers out there
Rossi now that you're back at the BAU the first thing you better be doing is groveling at Emily Prentiss's feet and apologizing for your behavior sir.
oh, BIG HUG! *heart eyes*
oh my GOD I am just CACKLING WITH LAUGHTER. Emily Prentiss big embrace to Mr. JJ, Will Lamontagne Jr. INCREDIBLE. IN-CRED-IBLE!!!!!!! this kind of comedy is...I don't have words for it. it's like...a teeny tiny version of what I imagine that Supernatural Nov 5 Emotion was like. I witnessed but did not feel that feel. but this might be a related feel.
aw Bailey. you join the dead agents wall. aw Emily - big sigh. sweet sad face. couldn't love you more.
yesssss, I have collected yet another line spoken between JJ and Emily that is not case-related!! (I think I am up to 2? 3?). "your eulogy was beautiful". classic jemily right there!
Prentiss cogs still turning
LOL calling Bailey a "comrade-in-arms" sorry it's just funny that this is supposed to have real emotional weight. I get it that it has weight for the team; but the audience...we barely knew ye Doug Noodle.
not lost on me that we're winding down on the "couples" here. Pen & Luke; Will & JJ; Tara & Emily lol
JJ's line to Will "I have a confession to make...I liked it a lot better when I didn't have to see you in the line of fire." Wow, groundbreaking confession there. I mean...we already know this. Not only is that, like, a very normal sentiment regarding someone you love, but also remember Hit/Run? I do really enjoy JJ insulting her husband. "yeah, well next time don't get shot [idiot]" I like that as part of their dynamic. it feels authentic to JJ in some way. she does that sarcastic thing.
GOD I wanted SO HARD to see Voit's shoes, which I assume were government issued dirty orange Crocs
y'all, so help me, I liked this season. I like that it's given me more raw material to work with, I guess. I LOVE that it gave me silver fox Prentiss. The ham-handedness and bad writing and pacing issues and all of that are clear weaknesses that are also pretty clear carry overs from the original run. No shock or surprise there, and I am (too) forgiving, especially because they have genuinely tried to do something new-ish. Did they succeed? I mean. yeah. Did they succeed *well*? Not really.
As for the ending...they set themselves up for the new season, enough intrigue to get me to keep watching (I would have anyway because i somewhat embarrassingly have ONE priority). It feels like some secret spy shit, which I can only hope means *something* in terms of call backs to Emily's secret spy shit days (it won't since this isn't the Emily Prentiss show, which I will always be sad about).
I cannot bring myself to be mad about various choices like Garcia's characterization, the JJ and Emily situation such as it isn't, even Rebecca. I think the door is still open for Rebecca to be part of the story moving forward. The Garcia character assassination is...well it is jarring and still feels oddly simplistic to me, though I think they are aiming for complexity. I am still waiting on some real consequences / real accountability for her and I'm not sure I'll ever be satisfied in that arena. She admitted in the finale that she fell back into old patterns, and Luke joked that if people didn't do that they'd be out of a job, with the hilarious implication that PG's bad relationship habits are comparable to...serial killer shit. Adam Rodriguez stays giving a really enjoyable performance as a man who loves this woman honestly more than seems wise - he is getting his heart stepped on but won't abandon her. And I don't know that he's necessarily pining, so much as he is committed to being her friend despite her carelessness. I am mad that Luke didn't get much of anything of his own this season.
I hope the folks creating CME take some time to do a critical post-mortem. I hope they're not just patting themselves on the back. I generally appreciate what they're trying to do, but I want them to figure out how to do it better.

“So let's talk about weird science. There are certain types of coral, that when they come into contact with bleach, release something called a palytoxin. So the coral, it, like, emits this aerosol and then that aerosol causes the throat and the lungs to close and the eyes and the skin to burn.”

I HATED Emily's wig in later seasons. Like damn, they let Joe Mantegna go grey but still had to fit Emily with a wig that fit like it flew off the dollar store Halloween discount rack??
society if they had just let everyone on the show grey naturally… lmao they were all pretty old when they started anyway, no one expects them to look like theyre 25!!! embrace the m/d/gilf of it all!!!!
#i guess im realy only talking ab emily rossi and hotch but STILL#between the shitty wigs and shitty hair dye…. im so tired#asks
