A Picture to Sum Up My Thoughts of The Season Finale
Ha Ha. So I guess I should quickly explain. After the episode ended, I posted a tweet on twitter that said: "Bobby, Y U NO push Alex against the SUV and take her right there?" Apparently I cracked a few people up. People know I'm a shipper; it's not a secret and I certainly don't try and hide it. Anyway, @Kyasurin_Chan made this for me. You kind of have to be on Twitter to understand it, but nonetheless I love it. Completely sums up my thoughts. =)
As far as being disappointed (with the ending), I wanted to be, but the way Goren and Eames were looking at each other...well, HELLO! No one can deny that they saw something there. If you missed it, you either had your eyes closed or you're officially blind! Just saying.
One last thing:
Happy 52nd Birthday Vincent!!!

One More To Go: My Thoughts on LOCI
As most of you know, Law and Order: Criminal Intent is coming to an end once and for all. For me it's a little hard to imagine the show ending; it's doing so well and the fans want more. I can tell by the blog posts, the comments on Facebook and the tweets on Twitter that people want more LOCI. But then I think about all we, as fans, have been through the past couple years and I feel as though it's a good thing. I'm sick of being jerked around and getting my hopes up that there may or may not be another season, that this and that may happen, etc. What really made me lose respect for...(I'm honestly not even sure who to blame here) is when that Fire Sale happened. Really? After ten years that's how you want to go out? Everything you can fit into a box for $5. I must say, that really pissed me off! I'm still angry about it.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm happy it's ending. I can honestly say it feels like a final closure I didn't know I needed until now. Once next weeks episodes ends, I'm going to [try] and take a deep breath and be okay with it. I'm sure there will be tears, confusion and possibly even some anger, but I'll get over it eventually. As long as the ending is written well, I'll be happy. I don't want some weird, crappy ending that leaves me even more angry and wishing they would have left well enough alone way before they started season 10.
And I've been preparing myself for the end for awhile now. I really didn't expect it to be renewed for another season, but you never know. Nonetheless, they finally shot the last episode and all was where it should be. But then this Fire Sale comes about and they're all of a sudden going back to re-shoot the last episode. I have a feeling it's because they knew they weren't coming back. But, I mean, hello! It's got me wondering now what they changed. And, of course, the shipper in me is hoping for the best.
I don't know if anyone understands what I'm saying, but I swear my anxiety is worsening because of this damn show!
As far as this season is concerned, I haven't posted anything since it started but it seems to me people are loving it. What do you all think? Personally, I love the sessions with the shrink. It's kind of funny, really, because I thought I'd hate them. But I don't. I look forward to them every episode. I'll admit, though, that I haven't watched last weeks yet. I'm just so...flustered with everything that I'm kind of...temporarily paralyzed when it comes to LOCI. I can hardly watch the episodes, I can't read fanfic...and don't even ask me how my writing is coming along.
Anyway, I could continue to ramble, but I better stop. I have some theories as to how it's going to end...especially the way Goren is walking out of the building and Eames almost in tears again. But I guess we'll just have to wait until next week to see what happens. This week is going to go by so s-l-o-w. Again, I can't believe it's over, but I'm relieved in a way that it is.
Here are some screen caps I took off Spoiler TVs Promo for Episode 10.08 - To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap:
Hail and farewell, Law and Order: Criminal Intent!

Goren: You Don't Know What I Need...
This entire blog post is dedicated to one line in the episode Endgame when Goren says to Ross: "You don't know what I need. And don't tell me who I am. You don't know who I am. And don't tell me how I think."
To me this is such a strong scene for Vincent's character. The way he reveals his feelings - or if you think about it - lack thereof. His anger covered all other emotions. Perhaps he was hiding in his shell for fear of being sought out, revealed, understood, ridiculed for being who he is, etc. You name it, I've thought about it because I love this scene. And when he told Ross not to tell him what he needs, who he is or how he thinks, you have to wonder... In my personal opinion, I don't believe Ross every really understood him. Maybe to a certain point, but he just didn't get him. For me, I saw a lack of trust towards Goren that I hated. I don't think Goren was defensive, per se, but I definitely heard that Goren roar that could be seen as a 'back off' to his own captain. I have to agree with him because, really, who is Ross to assume he knows what Goren needs? His boss? So what.
As a person that is known to be quite complicated like Goren, I too can say it's very frustrating when people pretend to know who I am or what I'm thinking. In fact, I believe I've said some words similar to his before...
I have a slide-show at the bottom of screen caps I took as the scene plays out. There are many pictures of Ross I skipped, but you get the point. The dialogue is as follows (note: all pictures are in order):
Ross: He's toying with you. Now you're personally invested. He's got you exactly where he can control you.
Goren: He's not in control of me. I can handle him.
Ross: No, detective, you don't need this in your life right now.
Goren: You don't know what I need. And don't tell me who I am. You don't know who I am. And don't tell me how I think.
(long silence)
Ross: I'll just tell you this, you're off this case.
(Ross exits the room and Eames goes after him to persuade him to change his mind)
Note: The first picture starts where the title at the top says Endgame.

Youtube
Like so many other people out there, I too am a fan of Youtube. Oh, the possibilities it brings. You can listen/watch music videos, find previews for your favorite shows, and if you're lucky, even watch some episodes.
It's also entertaining. Here's a great example of the entertainment it can bring: One day before my law class began, my friend and I were getting antsy. So what did we do? We pulled up youtube on the professors computer. Now, mind you, this computer was hooked to 2 different classrooms and anything we pulled up (since it was a DE...Distance Education class), showed up in the other classroom in another campus as well. So, like two geniuses that we were, we searched "dumb cheerleaders," "funny videos," and yes, "dumb blondes." Oh, gosh, the fun we had. And while one of the most epic dumb blonde videos was playing (link provided at the bottom), our professor walks in. Picture a giant projector screen covering most of the front of the classroom with a, well, not-so-smart person on Are You Smart Than A 5th Grader? front and center. Our professor literally stopped mid-stepped and watched what we were playing on technically his computer. And not thinking about it until the tech guy came in, oh lord, those poor students in the other classroom. They didn't see our teacher so they weren't sure why the hell that particular video was playing. Torn between the horror of this moron on their screen, they were trying to decide whether or not they needed to take notes. LOL
Well, you can imagine the scene. I really don't think I need to describe the rest of if for you, but we played about 15 different videos until our professor walked in.
So why am I mentioning youtube? Because there has always been something I've wanted to do. I love watching fanvids (usually Criminal Intent and, of course, Bobby and Alex). I ship them, I do. I love to watch them on screen and I love to see what kind of videos the loyal Criminal Intent fans can put together to bring me to tears. The song choice is everything in my opinion. You can have the best scenes from the series with a very well put together video, but if the song just doesn't work (for me anyway), then the video doesn't work. And I can't tell you the number of times I've ended up buying a song on iTunes because of how much I loved it in a Criminal Intent fanvid someone just did.
So, I want to make youtube videos. I want to put clips together and make other people cry for once! As someone once told me, some people make youtube videos which bring people to tears and others write fanfics; I do the latter but would like to try the former. I have a list of songs in mind. In fact, I've been making a list of songs I would like to use over the years and have slowly been asking other people to use the songs to make the video for me. So, I need help. I don't know how to do any of this but I'm up to the challenge...
