It's basically junk food

Drawing and watching Criminal Minds S1. It's okay, for a procedural - the acting's improved over the season, the storytelling's not terrible, there's less fail then I was expecting. I like that there are a lot of PoC, especially woman, in the background - not as victims, but as detectives, sheriffs, doctors, CIA agents, etc. Not enough on the main cast, though.

I'm shipping Morgan/Reid pretty hard, which is a problem - I started watching 'cause folks were tumbling the awesome of Morgan/Garcia. Which does seem like it'll be awesome! And the fandom seems to be all over Hotchner/Reid?

Maybe a Morgan/Reid/Garcia V relationship, with Morgan at the point. For now, anyway, there are 7 more freaking seasons.

Criminal Minds was my favorite show for a while. The earlier season were its best and it really hit a high point in the second and third seasons. But it doesn't handle carry over unsubs (2 part episodes) too well, especially in the first two seasons.

That's good to hear, actually - I'm not sure if I can do more than two or three seasons, so they'll at least be the good ones :D

And thanks for the heads up - I'm trying to download the first ep of season 2/second part of the season 1 finale now, I'll go into it with lowered expectations.

You're welcome. I actually watched almost every episode but stopped a bit when major cast shake ups happened with the female characters and the writing dropped off a bit; but thanks to reruns I have seen every episode I missed but by now it's more habit than excitement. If you watch the first 3 seasons you will have watched the best CM has to offer.

Your icon is so cute!

I really liked the first two seasons but lost interest and wandered off somewhere after the big Morgan/Garcia H/C episodes in season three. I didn't especially care for Rossi (though I've liked the actor in other things), and my attention span ran out.

I still like Emily/JJ though.

i always thought morgan/reid was the main CM pairing, which is obvs pretty awesome.

Oh man, that would be SO AWESOME! I based the Hutchner/Reid thing off a quick scan of the Ao3, which I guess can be misleading with older fandoms. I'll see if Polyamorous Recs has anything.
