Criminal Minds, The Fisher King Part One, screencaps courtesy of slash_girl. How hard must it have been for Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) to walk into that conference room and confess to her coleagues that she had caused the security breach that had allowed the Fisher King to access their personal information? I don't think I have ever seem Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) so mad. And of course he followed it up by having what appeared to be a small nervous breakdown. Wonderful performance by Kirsten Vangsness. I could feel her pain. But never understimate the wonder that is Garcia.............she found a lead. :)
I felt so sorry for her but it was such a stupid thing to do and yes I did think Gideon was going over the etch emotionally.
ReplyDeleteKirsten's performance was extremely moving. Here body language when she entered the room spoke volumes. Amazing that she has as little acting experience as she does and yet is so seasoned. Though the same can be said about MGG.
ReplyDeleteI, too, felt sorry for Garcia, but she didn't just run off and hide. She kept working on the problem till she found out who the real FK was. I hope it doesn't take too long for her to start making eye contact w. Gideon again.
ReplyDeleteGideon was so mad at her. When he asked her what she had been thinking and stormed from the room I thought she would faint.
ReplyDeleteMy heart was torn between being mad at Garcia for being so stupid and feeling sorry for the guilt she was feeling at placing the people she loves in danger. :)
ReplyDeleteI cried for her. I really did.
ReplyDeleteKirstens performance, in this scene and the whole episode absolutly fantastic, really moving

I thought Gideon kind of overreacted a bit in this one. I don't think he needed to lose it like that at Garcia. alas, she proved her worth in the end. that is why we love her.
