Criminal Minds, The Fisher King Part One, screencaps post number four of eleven. Thank you again slash_girl. So Derek and Elle are playing on the beach, Jason Gideon is entertaining some mystery woman at his cabin retreat, Haley and Aaron Hotchner are spending their time together at home and Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) goes home to visit his mother who lives in a mental hospital. :)
Reid is so cute and I felt so bad for him when he went to see his mom and could not interact with her at first.
ReplyDeleteSo sad the effect seeing his mom like she was in this scene had on Reid. Matthew did a great job of showing the emotional side of Reid in this scene.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked when we got to see him with his mother. He really was just so sweet. These were wonderful scenes between them.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably true that Reid's seeing the differences between the woman who raised him and who she is now and finding it difficult to relate now. But I also wonder when the onset of Mom's schizophrenia occurred. It usually starts fairly young in life. If she had Spencer at 25 (wild guess), she'd have been 37 whe he finished high school. Well within the norm for onset of the illness.
ReplyDeleteWas her ability to relate and function impaired while Reid was still living at home? When he was a child in Vegas? Did he take care of her when he was a young child? Did he get stuck in Vegas public schools b/c of the need to take care of his mom?
And what the he** happened to his father? And who was he?
I want to knooooooow!
my man looked so sad in this scene. my heart ached for my reid
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing Reid interact with his mother, it was a powerful scene.

I like that they showed everyone's vacations. it helped a lot with the character development, especially Reid's little scene in the hospital with his mother.
