| | Criminal Minds - More fan stuff and more on Hotch in this episodeOh, man. The insane shippers. The JJ/Prentiss shippers. You'd think the two of them had a relationship on screen and JJ cheated on her. This is all in their heads! Why can't they accept that the show didn't write them in a relationship and continue to fantasize on their own? I've done it with ships on shows that I knew weren't coming to pass. Of course, I'm not delusional enough to see canon in the flimsiness of subtext. If you want to see something (or conversely, if you're scared of something) you'll probably see it, even if it's not there. I'm glad JJ isn't real, or I'd fear for her life. (Glad that I don't get any vibes that they're delusional about the actors.)
But, on to Hotch. Mr. Projection Man. I think he had already connected the case to himself, which is why he was so quick to think Rossi was talking about him. Saying you can usually see it when families are unhappy, but they looked so happy in the picture? I'm probably fanwanking (probably 90% is fanwanking here) but I think he was thinking that, despite everything, he thought he and Haley were happy. Yeah, they had struggles, but what marriage doesn't? And, I've already talked about how glad I am to see Hotch defend himself in connection to the marriage. He did try. And, I think he was hurt. The job, his dedication to it, cost him his marriage, he thought that someone in the job would understand, and here he felt that Rossi was laying blame (which he wasn't - projection, like I said. And, see I can be fair to Rossi). And, I wonder if Hotch is afraid that one day Jack will look at him with the same contempt the abused wife's children looked at her.
