Really, electromagnetism does that to a lot of people. Documented in the research. Honest.

Isn't that a rather far-out theory? (Although, now that I think about it, "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is rather fitting for Our Heroes.) |

No, I'm hoping the John Denver song that fits best will ultimately be the Eagle & the Hawk.

Nasty, nasty, PTB, reminding us there are lots of monsters hiding in plain sight, that we can't simply write everything off to anomalous influences.
I read that one a little differently. Especially, perhaps, for Chaz. Pretty easy to get caught up in worrying about the Anomaly and forgetting that we breed plain old garden variety monsters all the time. Maybe they don't get superpowers, but they don't really need them, either. And a lot of the things that go into making a gamma can also make Monstrum domesticus. Eh. To me it kind of takes the pressure off. Could also do interesting things to the dynamic between the BAU and the ACTF. After all, the BAU sent a case Down The Hall, but it turned out to be theirs all along. Will that change the cases they send over? Will it make them more gun-shy, ending up holding on to cases they shouldn't? |

Just statistically, this cannot be the first one sent to the ACTF that should've stayed with the BAU.

Mine, too.
Want to bet Arthur Tan gets involved in one of the other misfiled cases?
I would love to see a story with the team at the other end of the hall. Just one.
(You PTB have no-one to blame but yourselves. If only you could write uninteresting characters!)

I am perfectly satisfied with the show we've got! If, by "perfectly satisfied," one may mean rapt, challenged, terrified, friends with fictional characters, and addicted to ECR.
**protect the power of the ptb! Give a hoot- don't dilute! Or overwhelm. Or whatever. :]

Let's not forget that we've had BAU-normal folk in on WTF cases before, and WTF people on BAU-normal cases. Examples off the top of my head include the Danville, Vermont gamma (Peter Pauley helping the WTF) and Joshua Lynch (Chaz helping BAU-Normal). Not to mention this bit in "The Sin Eater": Reyes gave Brady the look that said Brady was a pain in Reyes's ass, but since Reyes was a goddamn bodhisattva, he wasn't going to cuss him out. "We can do as good a job of hunting a non-anomalous UNSUB as the average field agent. The reverse isn't true. So in this case, we play it safe." |

Danny Brady was not in the habit of coming into the office to hide.
Chaz did, and Todd occasionally. Just what exactly is Sol hiding from? My guess would be ennui, Sol projects a facade of relaxed guru-dom, but he's been in the thick of wherever the action is ever since Kent State. We know he has a life outside the office, and a maenad, but is that enough to fulfill him? Is it boredom that drives him into the office, hoping for that moment when Nikki pokes her head into his office to say 'Case' or El Jefe says 'Briefing Room'. There were thousands. They were arranged row on row, in concentric circles, faced out bravely around an empty scrap of carpet. No: around a wall, and a double-doored closet.
Brady picked a path over green plastic, careful. Opened the closet door with two careful fingers.
Clayton Maxwell's blankets were light blue. You're not supposed to make me want to cry for the UNSUB. And yet it simultaneously complicates our feelings for the UNSUB, and plays another riff on the episode's leitmotif. Bravo! |
