moonflower75Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVED Montreal!!!!
I spent a week there for some longed for vacation-time and I had a blast!
Loved the city, loved the people... absolutely adored the cool weather, especially since I am back in Rome now and the temperatures are up around 90° F... seems like it couldn't wait for July to hit us with a heat wave...... I so hate to sweat......
I already want to go back, and I haven't been back home for 48 hours yet.
Only two words: Rue Crescent!!!!! hanging out, having a drink, music, chatting, people watching....ok, I'll stop here or I'll go to sleep totally depressed.
Me wants back there now!!!!! *pout*
And as a plus of this vacation overseas I got to watch the CM finale on tv for once, and not through the net.
But the finale itself.... mmm, didn't like it that much, plot-wise. in certain parts it was slow-paced (and not in a good way), not to mention illogical: even with his brother's guidance, Lucas could not have done half the things attributed to him without getting caught, he simply isn't shown as that subtle, quite the opposite, actually.
I like Sharif Atkins very much, but I could see how things were going to end for his character from miles away.
As usual I liked the interactions and the emotional reactions of the team, they were the best part in this sort of 'debacle', and though I loved Hotch's final voiceover, I absolutely loathed the fact that the cliffhanger (that I knew was coming) had NOTHING to do with the case at hand. On the contrary, it introduced a new case, as far as I could see.
That is quite trite in my opinion, not only because it is a TV 'trick' that has already been seen, but also because, for me, it only reinforces the sense that the whole plot is being dragged out over two hours instead of being more fast paced and concentrated into one.
Shock factor obviously comes into play too: I had no idea the cliffhanger was going to be about this and now I'm kind of worrying, because, really, if they axe TG's character, I am not so sure this show is going to be something I will like to watch, especially considering they have also fired more than one good writer already.
so for now I'll have to wait and see, and write, and read good fics...thank God for them!!! :D

2009-05-26 09:59 (UTC)It's my fault, really, since I am stuck at 'Pleasure is My Business' and still waiting to get the other eps online, so I still haven't been able to see Omnivore, I only know a basic outline of it. But I was there, and I simply couldn't resist watching the finale ;D
After all I don't feel that bad, I'm in good company, since you said other people didn't catch on, and I am assuming they did see the episodes I am still missing ^_______^
any personal opinion on where TPTB are going to go with this? please, throw a bone to the girl overseas... *puppy eyes*

2009-05-27 01:23 (UTC)Personally I think we're going to get to see how Hotch is going to have a case that is for him what Frank (the "No Way Out" unsub) was for Gideon...except we're going to see that Hotch won't break because of it. Whatever happens, I think he's going to come out a stronger man.
I absolutely refuse to believe that he's going to die. *nods*
And yes, definitely, don't feel bad, because there were a LOT of people who didn't notice who that guy was at the end. :)

2009-05-27 01:48 (UTC)*snort* patience is certainly not my middle name!!!
I did more or less the same thing for the Garcia-shooting storyline in season 3. I'm incorrigible :D
I see what you mean and I am kind of relieved, because that was my first thought as well: wounded, fighting, but certainly not killed; I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that.
and since you mentioned Gideon, I don't think they can 'afford' (allow me the misuse of the word) another Gideon-effect by writing off another main character (even though in the first case it was the actor himself who didn't leave them much choice, if I understand it correctly)...
oh my, I can already see this summer is going to be made up of one angsty rumination after the other *grin*
