CRIMINAL MINDS: DID YOU NOTICE?


Did anyone notice that Matthew Gray Gubler's character Dr. Spencer Reid was wearing his infamous mismatched socks in last night's episode of Criminal Minds? Thanks to Stacy (slashgirl) for catching that tidbit for us. I totally missed it. Did you notice it?

  4. Yes, I did notice. I wondered when Tobias/Raphael/Dad started to take off Reid's shoes if his socks would be mis-matched and they were!

  5. You all have such keen eyes because I didn't notice it but I am a Hotch gal so I don't really watch for MGG's socks but it is cute.

  6. Yep, one was striped and one was kinda ugly yellow. Actually as soon as he put his feet up on Tobias' lap I knew what was coming..mismatched socks!!!

  7. Sorry but I am new and have no idea what you are talking about. Why does his character wear mismatched socks?

  8. I totally knew the mismatched socks were coming!! It's cool that the show is willing to incorporate some of the actor's own quirks into the show!!

  10. Monica: I am sorry. I had forgotten that some of the things we speak about on this blog might seem foreign to newer viewers. In real life Matthew Gray Gubler likes to wear mismatched socks. In a recent interview, which is posted in my archives, he was asked if his character Dr. Spencer Reid would ever start wearing mismatched socks and he said something to the effect that he hoped to work it into an episode.

    This was a very nice touch on the part of the show to acknowledge the fans. Sort of lick giving us a wink. If you have anymore questions about anything please feel free to email me or post it as a comment. :)

  11. Thanks for explaining because I am new as well. This was only my second episode. If you could answer one question for me please I would appreciate it. What is the deal with his mom? Is she crazy?

  12. sondra: She's not "crazy", she's mentally ill.

    We found out in the ep Fisher King part 1 (season one) that Diana Reid is schizophrenic and she was a professor of 15th century lit, or perhaps it was 16th. However, we learned very little else about her, other than she hates to fly. They'd shown Reid visiting her in the sanotorium and then they brought her out to DC when it looked like her life might be in danger; she helped provide one of the clues to who they were looking for.

    Last night is the first time we've seen his backstory or knew anything about his father.

    Hope that answers your question!

  18. The show can be very dark and morbid but we still have a moment of fun looking at Reid's socks and Kirsten's accesories. Love them.

  19. Can I have the other socks?

  20. I notice everything about Mr. Sexy Pants. Or rather Mr. Sexy socks!

  21. Matthew could sell his other socks for charity. I would buy one. The show helped earn money for MS and this could be a fundraiser. I could spearhead it. I will meet with Matthew and collect his odd socks and help do the rest. I volunteer.

  22. How could anyone not love that face?

  23. I saw a video interview once on YouTube where Matthew said that he wears mismatched socks because his Grandmother said it was bad luck to wear matched socks. I saw on another episode that his socks weren't matching as well. I'll have to find which episode it was!

    Here is the interview I mentioned:
