Criminal Minds -- DIS Official Thread 1 (SPOILERS!)

[kayrosek]

okay this thread is awesome. I love CM. I'll have to come back here the next time there's a live show.

We wer thinking the same thing...

Dh says maybe she aimed low...so as for him not to reproduce.

Good thinking.

I think Monica killed him. And I think she can certainly claim "extreme emotional distress." In a case like that, even if the state decided to prosecute, she'd likely be given bail as she wasn't a flight risk and was unlikely to commit the crime again - not a danger to the community. (We also don't know how long after the "event" the ceremony was held.)

What I don't understand is why they didn't do any victimology on Hope? What about Stockholm Syndrome? How could she hold on to that kind of anger from age 8, when she was totally dependent on Bill? Wouldn't she be more likely have become like Jaycee Lee Dugard, kidnapped at 11 and "married" to her kidnapper? And why would Bill stay around where anyone who knew her could have seen her?

The interactions with Monica made for an interesting episode, but the "back story" of Hope didn't make much sense.

I didn't think Hope was angry, so much as depressed. She didn't want to have his child or allow a child by him into the world. She hated him all that time.

Elizabeth Smart was the same way. They took her name away, but she was able to write in journals in French, so they ultimately couldn't steal her thoughts. She was able to keep pouring out her hatred of her captors on paper and thus preserve her separateness & identity. Luckily, she wasn't in captivity all that long.

Does the FBI really have a lot of cases of being able to get back children who have been abducted for years?

There was one CM episode where a boy was taken and the mother searched for him for years. Turns out the couple abducted many children, the latest from a theme park. They even used the boy to help them. They owned a funeral home and were able to get rid of the kids by cremating them. In the episode, the boy hated the wife and ended up killing her. As much as he was helpless and did their bidding, he never fully bonded with them.

I think there is a difference in being helpless and bonding. At the end of the episode, he told a couple who had lost their son, that they never forgot their parents. It was what kept them going all those years, even though they had to do what their captors made them do.

Jaycee Duggard, too, said she never forgot her mother during all that time. She used to stare up at the moon and know her mom was watching that same moon and they were still connected. It was the one thing that kept her going, even though she was in a state of learned helplessness.

Oh my gosh, I've found my PEOPLE!!! It's hard to be the only one in your circle who likes a certain show and then have no one to discuss it with. Can't wait to bask in the CM love....

You are so US!!!

Tink9721 & I say that all the time. It's hard when people around you are like, "You like a show about crazy serial killers who kill multiple people a week?" and you can't discuss any details of the show with them. We'd go crazy if we didn't have this thread.

 

[love2disney]

Oh I agree plus no one understand how much eye candy Morgan is or why I like Reid or when I want to discuss the unsub!

That was a REALLY good episode. I mean it was really creepy, but it was a great episode. MGG directed that one

Yup this is a fun place to hang out on CM nights. Or any night A few of us were here keeping the CM party going all summer

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

Well, I don't typically hang out here on Wednesday nights. I prefer to record Cm, and watch at my leisure, when I have a quiet house. The only problem I have is, there will be a shot of Morgan being particularly hot, and the DVR will just--stop. It just STOPS. It's the oddest thing...

But, I'm lucky in that DD16 likes the show, too. She doesn't get the Morgan love, but definitely has a big ol' Reid crush.

I guess Morgan is just too much for your DVR

That's so weird though!

 

[Tink9721]

My DD saw that picture, and thought it might be air-brushed. Who wants to help me go investigate? It could be a long, arduous task, but we're dedicated fans...

Someone has to help him wipe off all the body makeup. . . Give him a sponge bath. . .

Let's examine the evidence:

What do you think?

I hope you guys appreciate my hard work. It was very difficult going through those pictures

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

My computer! It stopped! It JUST STOPPED!

And I think the evidence needs more inspection. Just sayin'. Good work digging up those pictures, though. They definitely brightened my morning.

Looks like his skin is lighter or the one out side is late in the summer and he's darker from the
Sun

Either way. YUM
