Criminal Minds: Since we're still in re-run season for Criminal Minds, what better time to look back over the past two seasons and pick a favorite scene? What scene or moment in Criminal Minds stands out for you the most? I know it's difficult, but try to pick only one moment from Criminal Minds!
Only one? I'll be a good girl and follow the rules today.
ReplyDeleteI think one of my favourites is from Revelations (and no, not the hug, as much as I love it!). When Reid choses Hotch as the one to die--I love that Hotch picked up on Reid's clue right away...and that he puts his ego aside when he asks the team what his flaws are. So darned Hotchly. *G* Truly wonderful.
Wow is that tough...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go with the Physics Magic scene in "Profiler Profiled." Reid is just so cute ("a magician never reveals his secrets) in it and I love how Emily gets over it hitting her in the head with "oh! show me!" Shows her self-proclaimed geek side.
And Hotch is fantastic; I love how he tries to lecture Reid but still finds it funny. JJ and Garcia are great too. All in all, it's a great little scene for all involved and it lightened the mood a little before the storyline took a dark turn.
One scene? ONE scene?
ReplyDeleteTalk about hard questions.
I think, off the top of my head, it would be at the end of Fisher King 2, when Reid is talking the the unsub and tells the others to go back downstairs. The line about "you might have mentioned the bomb" is just priceless.
But I will probably change my mind to a new favorite the minute I hit send.
Without hesitation, the end of Fear and Loathing where Spencer has the mini break down to Morgan. It is a very meaningful scene for me. The raw emotion we get out of Matthew moves me.
ReplyDeleteLee :)
I won't pick THE HUG (but I'm still mentioning it . . . )
ReplyDeleteThere are so many but the first one that comes to mind is the scene at the end of LDSK when Reid tells Hotch that he "kicks like a nine year old girl." They both know that he is lying but it helps to ease the tension. Lovely.
All the comments have been Reid-centric so far, so I'm sorry but the trend will continue with me :)
ReplyDeleteToo many to choose from but I'll go with when Reid tells Garcia he thought if he knew everything about schizophrenia, he could have cured his mom. Just the human connection between them with the finger-peck thingie and his half-smile after that, spoke wordless volumes about their evolving close relationship.
Favorite moment is when Gideon was trying to buy the flowers and he couldn't figure it out. Such a smart and brilliant profiler sucking at real life but it was cute.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is like an impossible question to answer.
ReplyDeleteThe scene that has stuck with me that I love is in Plain Sight, Reid says to Gideon, "Do you know she's the only one in the whole world who calls me Spence." and then he smirks. I LOVE THAT LINE AND WAY MATTHEW DELIVERS IT!!! hehehehee
There are so many favorites! But, I'll pick just one:
ReplyDeleteGarcia, JJ, and Emily at the bar when Emily brings over the "FBI" agent and they totally get him when they flip open their badges.
Loved it.
Two Words: Physics Magic!
ReplyDeleteTheres two scenes I like, but they are both in the same show, and both have to do with the same thing. They are both from "Fisher King II". I like the reaction on Garcias face, and the look Morgan gives Hotch when they all find out about Reid's mom. Makes me wonder what everyone else's reaction was when they found out.
ReplyDeleteThe scene from FK1 with Gideon and the lady dancing in his cabin. It is the only time I can remember him truly looking happy and at peace.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick if I try to think of all the wonderful dramatic moments, but when I focus only on the amusing character moments, JJ and Prentiss and Garcia's bar scene at the beginning of Open Season comes to mind right away.
ReplyDeleteLOVED that.
The scene with AJ and Garcia on the CIA computer and Garcia trying to get Prince William's phone number was classic.
ReplyDeletereid and gideon in art gallery,can't recal title of ep.reid to gideon-do I look 12 to you.gideon's reply 14.
ReplyDeleteMine was the look of relief on all their faces when they found Reid.
ReplyDeleteThe scene were Gideon is talking to Reid about nightmares. When he gave him the picture I almost cried.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say the scene in Derailed when Reid is about to get on the train to "extract the micro chip". This is the first time we see Reid in a real take control sort of way where basically the whole plan relies on him. I absolutely love when Reid says "can at least one of you look like you're going to see me again" You can tell he's scared but trying to lighten the mood. it's a good "guys of the team" scene.
ReplyDeleteProfiler, Profiled: When Gideon asked Hotch...Don't we all have secrets?
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a very good scene.
Mine is the conversation on the plane in "North Mammon" between JJ and Hotch. It was insightful about her past and it also let us know how impressed he was with her ability and her future options.
ReplyDeleteL.S.D.K.- every scene in the whole episode.
ReplyDeleteI am not a shipper but I liked the scene where Reid is given the football tickets and he isn't sure what sport they are for and is encouraged to go ask JJ to go with him to the game.
ReplyDeleteHotch letting Garcia off the hook in Fk is mine.
ReplyDeleteCompulsion: The scene with Gideon and teen boy he profiled that ended up being gay. I thought it was a very good scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat he said I said, I said.
ReplyDeleteLoved Gideon for saying that to Morgan. The look of pride on Morgan's face was priceless.
I am voting for Physics Magic also. Not a big Reid lover but it was so funny.
ReplyDeleteMorgan telling Reid that he should have said it was a bomb in Fisher King Two. I loved that scene.
ReplyDeleteI think mine is still from Riding the Lightening when Gideon was trying to decide whether or not to let her die or to acknowledge her son was still alive.
ReplyDeleteI have tried for a few days to narrow my choices to one but I can't do it. I can narrow it down to two: The scene between Hotchner and Abby's son at the end of Ashes and Dust is one and the other is the scene when Garcia was forced to tell the group that her online gaming is what caused the computer to be hacked. Both of those scenes were so full of raw emotion and I loved them both.
ReplyDeleteFK1 and the sad look on gideons face,when he is in his office telling hotch, that one of the only safe places, away from the BAU, has now been violated by an unsub and then this reoccurs in NWO 2 when frank do's something simlar in viloating gideons appt.so sad for gideon, hope that we get to see him happer inseries 3.
ReplyDeleteThe ENTIRE episode of "Somebody's Watching"! Reid is too adorable in that episode. The look on his face when he first sees Lyle is great. The pool scene has a major "aaaw!" factor.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy in "Fisher King Pt. 2" when he is reading to his mother on the plane. Good quotes too in that ep.
My new favorite moment is going to be the very second the premiere of season three starts.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Hotch cleaning the wall in Elle's apartment at the end of FK2. The music and watching him was moving.
ReplyDeleteMy fave has got to be in Aftermath when Morgan is on the phone to Garcia in the clinic and starts shouting "you are a goddess" and then when he realises everyone is looking at him.I couldn't help but crack up. I love the relationship between morgan and garcia.does anyone else wanna see them get together.
ReplyDeleteHey, I don't have a favourite moment, per se - they're all too good. Love Hotch in every second of Mayhem. :)
ReplyDeleteBut can someone tell me what episode the part with Reid and Garcia is - when Reid tells her that he thought if he knew everything about schizophrenia, then he could cure his mother. Then Garcia kind of pokes him in the forehead and they smile at each other? babruin mentioned it as her favourite moment...
