GARCIA: This Better Be Hella Good.GIDEON: Garcia? ...Hello?GARCIA: Oh, Yes, Sir. I'm Here. I'm Sorry.

GARCIA: This better be hella good. GIDEON: Garcia? ...Hello? GARCIA: Oh, yes, sir. I'm here. I'm sorry. I just...I wasn't...I'm surprised that you're calling me. GIDEON: I need to know who Joseph Davin shared a cell with. GARCIA: Yes, sure. Uh, it was a guy named... [typing] His name was Tony Canardo. They were in together for 18 months, and both were released three years ago. GIDEON: Before the killings started. Is that it? GARCIA: His current address is 865 Kentwood in Jacksonville. GIDEON: That's all you got? GARCIA: Yeah. GIDEON: Garcia. GARCIA: Yes? GIDEON: You do great work. Keep it up. [hangs up] GARCIA: Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you.

i wonder if part of garcia's frazzledness in this scene is due to some lingering iciness from gideon post-fisher king (he was easily the most angry with her about her playing a game on the bureau's wifi and letting a hacker in), and i wonder if gideon's "you do great work. keep it up" is him finally letting her off the hook for it. of course it could just be that garcia finds this case especially disturbing, which is throwing her off, and gideon is acknowledging that with his last line. i could go either way.

(sidenote: gideon complimenting her and then hanging up before she can respond is so very in character, i love those little moments like that that tell you something about the character)

also sorry i have nothing else to say about this episode. i actually finished it and went back to grab this exchange because it was really the only part of the episode i had any particularly coherent thoughts on, which is a shame because i think it's a very good, very tightly written episode with a good twist—it just didnt have much i had that itch to yell about.

oh.

man criminal minds is just full of these lines that never ever come back. nothing in this scene causes me immense pain in hindsight.

(also: just because it's a little hard to tell from the screencaps and I'm unsure if this is information that's okay to include in Alt Text given that it's context not included in the screencaps—here is the conversation with who says what.

ELLE: You know how many rapists I saw walk during my Sex Crime days? [...] It was enough to make you explode.

JJ: Well, it's a long way from feeling like that and actually committing murder. Don't you think?

HOTCH: Oh, not really.

where is that gif where spencer pushes that lady out of her chair from LOL

hello fandom artist. in front of you is a male character widely interpreted as transmasculine because of his vaguely gnc features. your task is to draw him next to a cis man without feminising him beyond recognition. if you fail you will be beaten to death with hammers. your time starts now

MORGAN: Why the woods, JJ? JJ: Hmm? MORGAN: Your fear. You said it was of the woods. JJ: (ominous music) Uh, I used to be a camp counsellor when I was a teenager in the woods up in Vermont. I had the night shift. Tuck the girls in and turn off the lights. You know, the typical drill. Everything seemed fine, all the kids were asleep. You know, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until I noticed that there was some blood on the hallway floor. (reid and morgan make eye contact) So, I followed the blood trail out to the camp director's cabin. Walked up to his bed and he was just lying there underneath his covers, dead. (morgan raises his brows and reid looks at him again) Someone stabbed him. I ran out of there so fast. Out the door, down the hall. I just...I remember it being really dark. Once I got to the door, there was another counsellor there. I guess she heard me scream. They caught the caretaker on his way out of town. I guess he still had the knife on him. Anyway, I guess that's probably when I decided I didn't like the woods. MORGAN: You're serious? JJ: REID: JJ: No. (ominous music stops, jj scoffs) No. I can't...you fell for that? Come on. I don't know why I'm afraid of the woods. I just...I am. (gesturing at Reid) Why is he still afraid of the dark?

jennifer jareau how does it feel to be the funniest person in the world. is it funnier if this is a story she regularly tells to fuck with people or if she came up with it on the spot? i cant decide

bonus:

MORGAN: Yeah, Reid, why are you still afraid of the dark? REID: Because of the inherent absence of light! JJ: (disbelieving, hitting his arm) Oh! MORGAN: JJ, that was pretty good. Just know that paybacks are a bitch. JJ: (sarcastic) I'm shaking.
