cimorenethe superbowl special ep of criminal minds that we downloaded still had the previews tacked onto the end, and we watched them.
yeah, they are definitely consciously developing this subplot - and distributing the, er, reminders of it pretty liberally. there was absolutely no missing the scene in the beginning of the special already, but the preview made me go like :O! because i honestly expected more stringing. i mean, i'd have said the probability of morgan eventually cuddling garcia to comfort her was close to 100%, but i didn't think it would happen this soon. not to mention that it looks from here like said episode of cuddling is going to be kind of tangential, that is to say, not actually part of the big main plot, just the sidebar of garcia's emotional reaction to it (because you hear morgan saying something about getting their boy back); so, you know, what's probably a very small proportion of the forthcoming episode was given a much larger proportion of the preview, which was probably ten seconds long at the maximum. i... this ship makes me very happy. ;.;
when we were drinking liberal amounts of tequila and red wine last weekend, wax and i attempted to explain the concept of shipping and the term "het" to V, and then to fully convey the extraordinary attractiveness of this particular pairing. being a little tipsy, i had the feeling that it was urgent to convey exactly how impressive it is, in my opinion, to have a het pairing of this quality in tv that's, you know, not screwed up. of course they might still screw it up, but they haven't yet, and i really do find that remarkable. there's always some kind of background pairing at least hinted at in these shows, it seems like, but they're often established (and thus taken away from UST) too early, or else dragged out too long on too much or too little tension; and when they're established, there's often some kind of really obnoxious interpersonal drama or major psychological malfunction for the characters in question: just take sara and grissom's three years of UST (drama-what?) and catherine and warrick's: too little development. lindsay and danny: wtf?-inducing emotional crippleness/trauma from lindsay with some bizarre and gratuitous and non-sense-making melodrama thrown in, and i'm not just saying that because i don't like that particular pairing.
