I understand Morgan's disagreement with Garcia, but not his mockery and dismissal of her. I don't understand how a domestic violence situation compares to Garcia's decision to be with Baylor during his final hours as he accepted his fate for his crimes. I did not want Morgan to go with Garcia to the facility, only to be her soft spot to land while away. With friends like that… we all have different ideas of friendship and that's what makes the world spin. As for me, I will never speak to Morgan again. And this is why Aaron/TG is my leading man.

Think of having a female friend who insists on living with an abusive man, emotionally or physically, in spite of having the means to leave. I saw Morgan's POV that way, I love you but I can't watch you do this to yourself. .

No matter what his reasons were, I don't see he had the right to abandon her like that. I do think that Garcia had to go it alone but I wish that hadn't entailed Morgan chewing her out as he did and ignoring her calls.

I came away with something different. The death penalty issue is a hot spot like politics and religion. Garcia saw herself in the chair and that's her greatest appeal, her humanity and empathy (listen up, Morgan). She wanted lifetime incarceration for Baylor, not absolution, and that's how it evolved into a death penalty statement to me. As much as I liked Morgan, I am blown away by his callous treatment of Garcia, particularly in light of their so-called friendship. My super sore spot is name-calling, like scum for Baylor and crazy for Garcia. It's not the what, it's the why, and an educated and experienced Morgan should know that. Of course, Aaron did not judge and I will stifle my accolades for TG/Aaron. Morgan turned into a fair weather friend, supporting Garcia conditionally. He refused her pleading phone messages and abandoned her on this highly charged journey but was there for her destination. I would have slugged Morgan at the end. It wasn't like this was a bad haircut for Garcia. Baylor was right in that we do what we do for ourselves, even if it is altruistic. That's human nature, it's not a bad thing, and it will never change. Many people who are alone know what it's like not to have a witness to your life. Through Morgan's heartless actions, Garcia realized Baylor needed a witness to his dire end, no judgments, no analysis of faulty DNA or past abuse, mental illness or whatever. All that being said, the juvenile Garcia is wearing thin. I want more of that glimpse of her with Aaron in Compromising Positions. It's been ten years of kittens and panda bears and bows. The huge white bow on her dress at the execution was distracting, not to mention a death row fashion faux pas. Grow the character up. KV has great potential as a dramatic/comedic actor rather than a caricature.

However, I have now watched the episode 3 times after reading many views and comments and I'm sorry but I still find the Garcia subplot unbelievable and melodramatic, as was much of KV's acting. The whole premise of it still makes no sense to me and it comes over that her saving Reid's life wasn't important to her. Also I know it's TV land but the manipulation of the time frame for the execution to fit the story still irks me. Maybe if they had let her PTSD simmer and pop up towards the end of the season it would have been more believable and wouldn't have been so distracting. After all, we are going to see JJ;s PTSD some 3 years after events in Afghanistan and PTSD can be triggered much later. I would rather have seen her dealing more with Reid and how she felt after saving their lives than this OTT angst over Baylor.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858868299991645521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-67014498212431104092014-10-11T21:57:22.244-04:002014-10-11T21:57:22.244-04:00It was the same thing for me—the first time I watc...It was the same thing for me—the first time I watched it, I thought it really badly done, but the second time, I realized I'd missed a lot and it was much better than I'd previously thought.<br />I liked your review. You touched upon all the things that I noticed the second time around, and on the same things that annoyed me. <br />I might up it to a B, though. :) Meowserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442017733870843515noreply@blogger.com
