So Much Random, So Little Time

Criminal Minds Finale Musings

cinegirl:

Ok, so after reading some spoilers (I just can’t help myself!) and then the announcement, that all main cast members have signed new contracts (that’s how I understood it) I fear - as some of you do as well - that it’s possibly Strauss who will bites the dust.

And sorry (not), but I don’t want her to die. She fast became my favorite “to-hate-character”, I don’t wanna miss her on the show, she stirs things up and this is always fun to watch.

My guessing is that perhaps Blake gets kidnapped and Strauss sacrifices herself when the situation escalates (it’s Criminal Minds, it WILL escalate), and with her final words she asks Blake to forgive her for the mistake she made years ago. And poor Rossi is left behind heartbroken (again). oO

Perhaps? It might be, right? I need a real life, way too much invested in TV shows :p (just kidding, ha, bring it on!)

I just really dont feel comfortable with the idea of Erin “sacrificing” herself for Alex.  Not enough has been told about this relationship and the incident for me to buy that.  I’m sure Erin hurt more people she loved with her drinking than some woman she might have screwed over once, even if it was for promotion and blah blah blah.  I still dont even like the fact that she wants to make amends to her since the point of that step is to attempt to make right things made wrong by drinking.  Yes, I guess its possible Erin could’ve been drinking on the job but it seems ridiculous that she’s been a functioning (or non-functioning) alcoholic for over 10 years.  Possible but a little ridiculous.  This storyline has been fleshed out in no way, shape, or form for me to not lose my mind with anger if it comes to that.  If they kill off Erin, what’s done is already done.  But if that’s the reason I will not be happy.  And even if we find out everything that happened between the two women in tonight’s episode, its just not enough….they could’ve told us everything 15 episodes ago. /rant

Sorry but I feel so strongly about this.  I didnt mean to get so invested either but Erin is one of my favorite characters.  Alex is as well, even though I’ve been against the antagonistic the writers decided to give them from the start.

Day 2: something that’s illegal but you think it should be legal.

There are probably lots of things but I think they should just legalize marijuana, mostly because then the government could tax it and make money from it and my taxes might be less.  No one who smokes weed is not gonna pay the eight cents on the dollar sales tax, even if they bitch about it, just like people who drink or smoke cigarettes.  The prices go up but so do the users.  Also prostitution so women, and men, can unionize and bring attention to the abuses and so that something can stop being taboo just because its sexual and the majority of people who engage in it as a profession are women.  I’m no genius, this is just my two cents.

Its so funny to me, and not in a haha way that men with gray hair are called silver foxes and revered while women with gray hair are replaced with younger women and put out to pasture.

Someone please get the Grey’s Anatomy high school AU suddenly floating through my brain out.  Where the hell did it even come from?

I just realized it could be Rossi who goes but that doesnt mean he dies. He could be injured, decide to retire. And they could end his story properly, like Prentiss, and though I would miss him terribly I could live with this. And I could totally still write fic about retired writer Rossi.

I thought about something today as my sister and I were discussing Marriage equality.  Forgive me if others have thought of it before and it just came to me like a bop on the head.  Money.  Its about religion for some people, OK fine, I dont have to agree with you.  Its also about homophobia, which is ridiculous, but that’s never stopped people before.  But in the end I think its all about the Benjamins.  Married couples and parents get all kinds of tax breaks.  Do you know how much the government would “lose” in pensions, social security checks, and the like if any adult could marry any adult, regardless of gender?  Not to mention the insurance companies, who wouldnt have the single payment per person anymore but people just adding their spouse to their insurance so it could be more affordable.  A lot of corporations, entities, and government on the state, local, and federal level could “lose” if marriage equality was real.

I dont just get angry when these GOP yahoos insult the President for hoots and claps from their fan base because I see it as steeped in racism (which it is) but I get pissed off because they’re also insulting the 60 some-odd million people who voted for him (of all races and colors and creeds) as if we’re a bunch of fuckin idiots fooled by a charlatan and people like Sarah Palin can show us the light.  You’ve got to be fuckin kidding me.

Why does every scene with Erin and Rossi in the same room does he have to give off snark?  Its not even sexy snark most of the time, just him being a little douchey.  Dont get me wrong, I will always ship them no matter what and I know that Rossi is that kind of guy, but it annoys me to no end that the writers go to the same place every single time.  I either want him to say something civil or nothing at all for a change.  Are they ever going to have a scene that just leaves me squeeing in the end?  They are the worst “canon” ship in the history of shipping.
