wherein Hotch is made of awesome. as are JJ, Garcia, and Prentiss

*sigh* Can't sleep. But at least I have TV Tropes to keep me company. I always forget how completely brain-eating that site is. It's just so fascinating.

Plus, it reminds me of fun things like this (utterly non-spoilery) scene from Criminal Minds 3.19 "Tabula Rasa," where an attorney besmirches his honor casts aspersions on the validity of profiling. Hotch proceeds to calmly dissect the man in front of the entire courtroom. One of the Tropers has dubbed this a "Hotchalanche," defined as "wherein Aaron Hotchner is made of awesome."



The scene in 2.23 "No Way Out II" where Hotch gets sick of playing Strauss' games and completely kicks her ass without moving or raising his voice is similar, but I can't find the clip on YouTube. HELL YEAH.

And just for shits and giggles: JJ, Garcia, and Prentiss at a bar. Not at all spoilery, unless you weren't aware that all three women are made of awesome and work at the FBI. :D



ETA: This interview with Kirsten Vangsness is adorable. Apparently, when she shot her scene from the pilot (which was intended to be a one-off), she had no idea who she was talking to. She didn't see Shemar Moore until the second episode -- which makes the amount of chemistry they still manage to have particularly noteworthy. Damn. And her story about the writers following them around and using their real-life banter for dialogue is so precious. <33333

The wonderful thing about a Hotchalanche is that there's no *ego* behind it. You're just getting in the way of justice and right (or threatening his team), and Hotch will take your ass out in the most efficient way possible. For he is Hotch.

Kristen Vangsness thinks "geek" is the best compliment and flirts shamelessly with Shemar Moore. *swoons* Oh, baby, she can sexually harass me any day.

That bar scene was the opener for the very first CM episode I ever watched, so of course I HAD to download all 4 seasons posthaste, haha! <3333333 Criminal Minds, and especially Garcia and Reid. &spenser;
