Criminal Minds: it's a show...or two.
Feb. 17th, 2011 11:00 amLast night's Criminal Minds was kinda awesome and kinda infuriating. I totally should have played that Unsub. I was born to be a crazy stalker who things she's helping people.
One of the reasons Law & Order lost my interest is the incessant cast changes. Getting rid of JJ in favor of some twit is not really working for me. When I saw her in the opening credit sequence, I was hoping for some sort of Buffy tVS thing where they put someone in the opening credits just in time to kill them off. That's good stuff. But no...it looks like The Twit is here to stay. Other aspects of CM that I grow weary of:
--The rapid escalation that ALWAYS takes place once the FBI is involved.
--The endless succession of insane people doing insane shit for random reasons (ie: my daddy took my dollies and now I use my mad skillz to sew incredible clothing for women I kidnapped).
--The Unsub who puts their life story and a details crime history on a wall in their apartment/dorm room/altar/cell.
--Every other killer being "methodical and extremely organized."
--Every victim and Unsub being white, unless it's a special ethnic episode. This is not a 1980's McDonalds commercial, you're allowed to mix races on TV now.
Seriously, CM, I like you a whole lot. But I'm healthier than I used to be, and more likely to stop putting up with your bullshit. There's a lot of good stuff on TV these days, and I'm short on TV time. So buck up, or go the way of...damn, I can't name either or the cops or attorney's on L&O anymore, so I can't refer to them by name.
As for the spinoff (repeat L&O comparison), it was not bad. It's a good cast. Like the main guy, love Garafalo, dig the guy from Dawn of the Dead (though I wish he'd say "fuckin' nursery school"). I plan to keep watching, especially since my beloved Penelope is on both shows. If I had to pick a CM character to make out with, and Hotch's line was too long--I'd pick Garcia! Forest Whittaker and Janine Garafalo both look crazy thin. Not judging, but would love to know Garafalo's reason for the loss, as she has said many times in the past that she doesn't swing that way.
My hands have not been so good lately. Right thumb is becoming less opposable every day. Took some heavy hitting pain pills this week, even though I don't really like that sort of thing. Apparently the elbow braces (made by ACE) I've been wearing during the day are terrible. I have some compression ones that should arrive soon, but the old ones were actually causing more pain. Thanks, ACE.
Doc appointment again this Weds so I can find out if I need to move forward with X-rays and possibly surgery. Unlikely, since I still owe a few hundred $$'s from when they cut that cancer off of me.
Saturday is my reading/signing at Detroit's Love Your Body event at the Trumbullplex.
Hope to see some of you's there!
