I love when he’s wearing glasses :)

Brianna Brown. She’s gorgeous, and I love this pose. I just wish she would’ve been someone other than the Unsub on Criminal Minds because even though I loathe the blonde thing, the chemistry with she and Hotch cannot be denied. That’s what AUs are for.

#this sequence was gr8 #right up until prentiss found will and the bomb #because again#no tension since we already knew #that the team was going to a wedding in the final scene of the episode #and since kevin and garcia were still clearly broken up at this point #that only left jj and will as the possible bride and groom #also the inadvertent homage to galaxy quest’s #hilarious send up of that moment #when the bomb on a tv show #stops right when there’s only one second left #on the clock didn’t help matters *at all*
This is totally right. Knowing Prentiss not going to die and there’s wedding waiting, I couldn’t possibly feel tension in this scene. And I ALWAYS find bomb securing (by heroes. At the climax.) on action movies or TVs rather cliche and boring anyway. Because we know they always secure it. And it almost always at 1 sec. And I go “yeah, right”. This is why I adore Gideon’s securing bomb in “Don’t Get Fooled Again”. Because it stopped at 3 seconds left. And the reason Gideon chose blue line was so psychological and so Criminal Minds. I was impressed. And that scene is my No. 1 bomb securing scene I’ve seen. (Well, at least Prentiss chose yellow line by profiling in “Hit and Run” so that’s better).

“Promise me that you will tell him how we met. And how you used to make me laugh. He needs to know that you weren’t always so serious, Aaron. I want him to believe in love. Because it is the most important thing. But you need to show him. Promise me.”
This is loooong rambling.———
One of the biggest reason why I’m so into Hotch/Beth development is, that I know Hotch was once very happy and how his personal happiness turned into hell. I know what he has been through, not just as his background story but ongoing process. He was happiest at the beginning of the series and kept going downhill for four seasons and half to hell. And as if divorce was not enough, his world got almost completely destroyed by Foyet (his confidence and pride and everything he built up). And in a way I experienced his hell with him (I mean, it was really really hard for me to watch Hotch during season 5, he was on the edge and tried really hard to keep himself together and… Morgan/Hotch scene in the end of 5.11 Retaliation was one of the hardest to watch because I cannot help but compare Morgan’s confidence and Hotch’s “barely keeping pieces of himself together” feature.).
I alway think Hotch and Haley’s story was very real. And always feel sad for both of them because sometimes love is not enough to be together and I feel pain for the fact that’s the case for them. I think failed marriage destroyed part of him once. But also I have a feeling at the end of season 4 Hotch started to make some kind of peace with Haley (judging by the way he talked on the phone in Amplification.). And when I think about this way, Foyet’s ordeal become more cruel for Hotch. Because Foyet destroyed what Hotch started fixing completely and made sure Hotch would feel guilty over it. This could have destroyed Hotch completely. This should have destroyed Hotch completely. Because that’s exactly what Foyet planned.
I feel, during divorce and Foyet’s attack, at one point he lost hope or even any desire to be happy for himself ever again. But then there’s Haley’s promise left. Whatever happened between them, I think this promise was her biggest love for Hotch. Because she knew this could destroy Hotch and made sure Hotch can move on from this and try to be happy again. Because she knew him and wanted him and Jack to be happy. She wanted Hotch to make Jack happy.
And Hotch started to build himself again little by little and started to build his life with Jack.
And Beth comes. With full of positive energy and brightness.
And she brings back part of Hotch which he himself has been forgotten ever been existed to life.
I’m just…. so fascinated how Hotch’s story is playing out in the show and just so happy to see he finally starts trying to be happy, not only for Jack but for himself.
And I think Beth is smart and cute and funny and just perfect for Hotch and Jack. I can really easily imagine why she can bring this playful and joyous Hotch back to life and their happy life together with Jack.
I welcome and look forward to see coming inevitable difficulty they will face. I’m so glad TG takes this relationship seriously. But, the show, please don’t destroy this. Please make them live happily together when series ends.
I thought Beth and Hotch were absolutely adorable in the finale, when they were dancing. I also loved the scene at the beginning of Hit with Hotch, Beth and Jack. I’m really glad Hotch found someone who makes him happy and who seems to get along with Jack so well.
Bellamy Young aka Beth Clemmons. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of her, and Hotch, in Season 8. Haters gon hate but I like her as a character and I’m a shipper. She’s so cute, how can you not love her?
I prefer Clyde to Mick…that’s for sure.
