| | Criminal Minds - Why can't I get some deep conversation going?Here's the thing, on the exact same board, there's long in depth discussions on freaking *Rossi* (that I stopped participating in, since I disagreed with everything posted by almost everyone) that also kind of drift into fairly in depth discussions on Reid (and how Rossi is supposed to have been the catalyst for Reid getting assertive, I have no idea) but on a thread about Hotch, *every* thread, every discussion, every thought pretty much gets hijacked into nothing but variations on "he's hot!" and fantasies about getting him undressed. I think most people only like TG. Not that it's surprising to like the guy who plays a character, but I don't think it's the character at all that draws them. It's just the fact that he looks like TG (obviously) and they'd like him no matter who he played. But, it's still not fair that there can be posts and posts about Rossi's insecurities (ha!) and how he didn't know the agenda the team had and was wary and all sorts of things that I completely disagree with, but at least they talk about them, but I start a thread about Hotch being a abused (not a sexy subject) and it devolves into swimming pool fantasies.
Sigh. I tried to explain what I meant about liking the character of Hotch. That it's the combination of the writing, and how TG plays him, not just loyalty to TG from other roles (honestly, before CM, the only role I really liked him in was the movie The Inheritance, since I was all about MP/Jeffrey Geiger in Chicago Hope) or focusing on his looks. But, someone said they had never seen anything of his they didn't like, which is fine, but the discussion again drifted to Dharma and Greg. And, I like Dharma and Greg. More than I ever expected. But, I want to talk about *Hotch* and no one else does. It's like people see Hotch as nothing more than a model or a sexual fantasy. It's always his looks, and if it isn't, it's about the emotions he doesn't have. But, Rossi gets a big in depth treatment. Reid gets one - and in a thread about why Reid is afraid of the dark when it got off topic, it didn't go into how cute Reid was, it went into his drug addiction and the problems with that storyline.
Okay, to be fair, there's hardly any discussion about Prentiss, JJ, Morgan, or Garcia. But, that doesn't make the shallowness of every Hotch thread any less annoying. And, one other board I'm not sure if I'm welcome since it took forever to answer a question I asked and when I did receive one it wasn't from the regulars, but a new person - and the question was one that they would know the answer to (and besides, the general feel there is Hotch is perfect, and I don't think he is. Perfection is dull). Another board just goes on about how Hotch has no character development and he's two dimensional. It's no fun going to a thread if you disagree with everyone.
