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

[kirstenb1]

Back to that episode of CM, the sister remarked how Rossi seems to know a lot about Autism.

In real life, Joe Mantegna, has a daughter who is autistic. He does extensive fundraising and working to promote various charities & organizations for disabilities. Some of the charities are: Easter Seals Chicago, The Barbara Sinatra Childrens Center, Actors for Autism, Autism Speaks, Tutor/Mentor Connection, ACT Today for Military Families, Home Boy Industries. a few months ago, he rallied on Twitter to raise funds for the American Wheelchair Mission which provides free wheelchairs and mobility aids to physically disabled children, teens and adults throughout the world who are without mobility or the means to acquire a wheelchair.

His other daughter, Gia, we've seen on CM and is on her own show on Teen Nickelodeon.

Maybe Hotch took a back seat so Joe could really be focused on in this show?

Last night's show was very well done. I liked the way Rossi said "some children with autism.... because that is the truth. People with autism have communication difficulties, whether it be speech, or reading people's emotions incorrectly, they have sensory processing difficulties, and finally, tend to have perseverative behaviors. These conditions show up very differently in each person. Generalizing about their behaviors is dismissive and glib. Exploring the complexities takes a keen understanding, and a willingness to not sum everything up in an hour.

An update on Thomas Gibson in NYC:

As you guys know from past posts, TG has a running "Tweet the Feet" joke going on his Twitter. Regis asked him to Twitter something live and TG got a funny expression on his face and said he already Tweeted.

These are his Tweets:

He also went to film the Wendy Williams Show. Never heard of her.

Anyway, these two clips are funny. Since Hotch never smiles, it's nice to catch a lighter side of TG:

Oh, and I did figure out which of two hotels he stayed at, from his Tweeted pic from his hotel room window. I know my Central Park even when shot from above. Once I got my bearings, I knew where he was.

Reid, move over! You are not the only one who can stare at landmark pictures and figure things out.
Of course it may have been simpler to watch the end of Regis & Kelly. Don't most shows get promotional discounts by saying, "Hotel accomodations for guests furnished by...?"
But, it was fun trying to figure it out.

(No, I did not go over. Addiction in check. )

I'm back from Disney! My mom and I had a great time I did watch CM on Wednesday. I actually really liked that episode! I didn't notice that Hotch wasn't in it much, but I was running off like 4 hours of sleep I went to bed half way through Suspect Behavior It just wasn't catching my interest and I was really tired.

Did anyone else find the whole Rossi and Seaver video game night thing really strange?

It does seem like all the evidence is pointing toward Prentiss dying

New CM & CM: SB tonight!

The question is though, where is Imzadi?

Y'all don't think she's out stalking TG do you? I hope all is well with her.

Don't give me away!

The problem with watching a show on profiling is that now we can figure each OTHER out too easily.


I went to Joe Mantegna's Twitter and nabbed this picture,
and have been hiding behind the couch

watching Morgan.

Garcia's got to get up to go to the bathroom sometime.
Someone's going to have to replace her holding the pillow.
Any volunteers?

 

[Imzadi]

This is the state of Garcia's desk while she's sitting on the couch with Morgan.

Love the shoe! I can't wear stuff like that. I have old fogie arches now.

I'm glad you two had a great time!

And yeah, that Rossi and Seaver thing was weird. The way he looked at her at the beginning? Was that supposed to be a signal to the audience that we, also should try to make her feel welcome? It was clumsily written and didn't work. It came off creepy, even for Rossi, when you see them later at night playing video games.

 

[Belle0101]

Glad to see you posting. I sometimes get worried when regular posters aren't posting.

Wonder what they were watching on TV?

I meant to mention this earlier this week, on Sunday I started watching a movie only because Joe M. was in it. It was from the 80's. I wasn't too interested in the storyline so when the bedroom scenes came on I changed the channel.

Anyhow, Joe M. way back then, not so attractive looking IMO. He has really aged well and honestly, gotten more attractive looking. Even with the droopy eye, Bell's Palsy related.

Yeah it was really creepy I thought it was weird how much Seaver was in last week's episode. Other than the first one she was in, she's really just been in the background, barely speaking. All of a sudden she had a big part last week. It's probably because she got promoted to the main cast I was hoping that she wouldn't be in Prentiss's last episode because I thought it would be weird having her and JJ in the same episode, but based on that picture of the two of them, I guess she'll be there.

Anyway, 5 minutes until the new episode

They leave gory pictures up on the screen and leave? J.J. would have never allowed that.

Oh, never mind. I thought they had left the BAU for the jet.

 

[Tink9721]

Did anyone else's sound disappear for a few seconds or was that just a local thing? I flipped up one channel and it was fine but CBS lost sound for about 30 seconds

 

[Belle0101]

Wow, awful lot of firepower there.

 

[Imzadi]

Sound is fine here.

 

[Belle0101]

Sound was fine here too.

 

[Imzadi]

Hotch with a foot fetish now!!!


Is this when TV and Twitter merge? This is the second time they showed Hotch playing around with a foot. Hmm. . . Are the writers trying to tell us something?

 

[Tink9721]

I guess it's local then because it just happened again for a few seconds. Stupid CBS...

 

[Belle0101]

Ok, Prentiss is going to have to speak up now.

 

[Imzadi]

I guess it's local then because it just happened again for a few seconds. Stupid CBS...

That happened to me a few weeks ago during CM.


That's the same clover on the matchbook.

 

[Tink9721]

Prentiss would be in SO much trouble with Strauss if she knew what she was hiding

Does it seem like Prentiss is kind of saying goodbye to her team members tonight? Like in her scenes with Reid and Garcia. There's no new episode next week, and the week after is her last episode. I think we all need to have the tissues ready that day

 

[Imzadi]

I think Prentiss was saying goodbye to Garcia.
