I hope this one is as good as it sounds. I'm very curious to learn more about Garcia!

looks great!! who is the unsub and who is the hero???

I don't know whether to look forward to this episode or not! I am looking forward to getting to know more about Garcia though and it'll be interesting seeing Nick Brendan in the show too :)

Omg that episode is in 2 weeks..Wow cant wait to see this..also sad as well

a bit more to add.....

I love these two parters! there's just so much suspense in between and it goes way beyond the episode. Thanks for posting those pics, Jenzter!

It lists actors playing a young Garcia at different ages so not only do we get to learn more about Garcia's past...we sort of get a glimpse of what it was like! That should be very interesting!

I didnt even notice that pam...that it listed actors..for young garcia..its nice to know about their past things

I can't wait to learn more about her. It's great that the writers are FINALLY putting the spotlight on the less seen characters like Garcia and JJ.

yea..they deserve the spolight as much as morgan, hotch & reid, :) they're very imporant characters

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
I NEED TO watch this episode!!!!!

Aaaa, only one day left. It will be interesting watching glimts of Garcia's past. It's also going to be interesting to watch how everyone reacts on Garcia being in danger.

I just saw a preview on TV! I think Morgan is going to take it really hard because they weren't getting along the last time they talked. I think everyone is going to realize how important Garcia is to them and to the team.

I think their all gonna be soo sad..but morgan is gonna take it harder than anyone..!! im also excited to learn more about garcia past..i like learning about the characters past

ahhhhhhh Linny! GIRL!!! were on every forum! HA, wow, small world :blink: sorry, we are on JonBenet-ramsey.com and we own Madeleine-mccann.net!

but yes, its looks very good, and I hope shes does not end up like my poor Elle

Hi girl!! yeah, it's a small world. I'll get back to you on the mail as soon as possible ;)

Today it Wednsday!! Finally we can get to see what happens...

gotcha :D

This has been the longest week waiting for tonight so I can see this episode. I'm so happy that Garcia didn't die :D and I hope they find this guy and whoever else might have been involved :angry:

I saw the preview last night.....emotional to say the least.....more so I think than when Elle was shot. It will be interesting to see how they all react. It looks like our man (sorry jemma's man) Hotch really steps up and takes charge. Rossi will be given the chance to see "the team".

All you shippers......perhaps reid and jj will console each other.......but according to the sides and some spoilers, a "new tech" enters the pictures to help the team while Penelope is recovering....sparks are a flying.....although I'm thinking Morgan will never let her date AGAIN!

sooo Jentzer garica is for sure not gonna die right?? i hope their are some shippers..like reid and jj doin that..that would make all of reid and jj fans happy..:) im soo glad she's gonna be ok..they better catch this guy who done this to our girl garcia...

If you missed last week....and you can translate.....here is what happened to princess penelope last week........

i like that..thanks for that jentzer....that episode..i mean was it just me or did when you saw that guy at the coffe place..the psycho..something didnt seem right?

Pretty sure he has ulterior motives! I guess we will find out tonight why he felt Penelope needed to be erased!!

I'm really interested in finding out about her "back story". According to spoilers, we find out a lot about her upbringing and her education....hmmm just how did ms Garcia become a computer wizard!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XHUguktM5EA

Perhaps this link help too…it's everything on Penelope, without the case in between…thank you ssakitapup! (I've watched this like…ten times already)

im exc ited to learn some new thing about garcia as well......and why this guy done what he did..i wanna know why?

from gossip girl....

OMF so sweet! Morgan moves in with her! Even if there's no romance (good friend is always better then romance :P ) that's so sweet!

I'm so wanting to see this epi! :rolleyes:

OH MY GOODNESS..

So I have been looking forward to this episode all day. But then my aunt and uncle invited us over for dinner. So obviously, we accept (mr gattis.. Who wouldn't!!)

So then I get home at about 7:50.. Show starts at 8.

However, I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT!!

So now it is 8:45.. Still 15 minutes left in the show.. But I hate only watching part of the show and not the other.

Does anyone know when a rerun will play? I don't care if it is at like 4 in the morning.. I need to watch this episode! lol

aww I wonder if Morgan and Garcia will hook up :P they deff. click, lol

you're breaking my heart baby girl :rolleyes:

This episode was the best..im soo glad Garcia was ok..and that they got the guy..and that shot JJ done was amazing..and their were def Garcia and Morgan moments..when they said they love each other i was like Awwwwww

Yeah for JJ!! :D

Wow! What a great episode! And that makes three in a row! :D

That was very intense! Did I miss something - when did Morgan ask her out? I loved the scene when he asked if she knew he loved her. Now in a way they were hinting that it seemed a little more than friends but they definitely left it that Garcia liked the other computer tech. And I really liked him! Now that is a ship I wouldn't mind them bringing into the show. I laughed at the scene when they were doing their battle trying to outwit each other. :lol:

How would he have been able to access all that stuff to start with though without knowing a simple password?

So Garcia can't get in any trouble for doing things she's really not supposed to be doing? I mean I don't want her to be in trouble but would they just totally drop that? But I loved the reason why....after she got hacked and Elle got shot she wanted to protect everyone!

I'm glad Rossi didn't seem to be so much in charge in this episode but the scene where he got in her face was kind of mean.

Loved JJ all through this episode! She's the hero of this episode! :)

Kyle....I can't believe you missed it!!! But if we have re-runs in our future due to the writer's strike you may get to see it before too long.

Hi :D

I love it. Garcia and Morgan were really great together the "I love you" was so sweet.

take are

ahh, that episode was awesome! made me think of my poor Elle :(
I miss her
I really do

OMG what an awsome episode. Gracia and the tech scenes were adorable and the end scene were they meet. <3 Can't wait to see more of that.

I was SO proud of JJ when she took the shoot. You go girl!

First I just wanna say that the first time I saw coffee shop dude I knew it wasn't a chance meeting .. all you had to do was watch him and his body language.

Now .. I'm so happy and relieved that Garcia is going to be ok. I only cried thru half of this episode .. if you knew me you'd know that's pretty good for me .. :lol: When she "crashed" on the table I lost it and when she was home and Morgan refused to leave her .. then told her he loved her .. well I just lost it then .. that was so sweet.

JJ taking down the bad guy was awesome! Garcia and tech guy (who I called Zander) :lol:, getting to meet was great .. I hope this is the beginning of a good romance for her :lol:

All in all a great episode!

I love the touching little Morgan and Garcia scenes and when JJ took that shot...MAN i was soooo proud of her :lol: THIS is the CM we've all been waiting for. I think for me, its tied with Reid's two parter eppy as well.

First of all: Loved the episode!

Second of all: Garcia told in P911 that she'd four brothers, where were they? I mean, wouldn't you be there if your sibling got shot? Or did they all die in that car-accident :(
Garcia said in one of the first episodes she was in the FBI because she didn't get accepted to medical school, Morgan makes a comment, she hits him playfully and she's "Auch, that was what my dad said." If her parents died when she was eighteen…how could he make that comment? I thought you had to finish college before try to get into medical school? :blink: (if I'm correct, here you get in at eighteen and you study medicine for eight years and then do a specialty for a couple of years…)

Anyway, loved her appartment! :D
Loved the Morgan and Garcia moments! Loved Morgan being so overprotective! Totally loved the "You know I love you right?" comment! I think they're really good friends and I still think friendship is so much more important than relationships!
Loved it when Emily took JJ's hand at the hospital.
Thought Rossi was mean…but maybe it was a bit nessecary. :huh:
Loved it that JJ saved the day, she's my hero! B) So sad she had to shoot someone :(
Loved it that Morgan talks to Reid about the whole churchthing in the hospital, but why is Reid so not a major person in this season? I like Reid! :( (not that I missed it this petticular epi, but you know, the other episodes)
Hotch not wanting to work any other cases untill this guy was found was great :)
Loved Kevin (still think he's more of a Xander though :P) and Garcia together.
Episode was seriously GREAT!!!!!! :lol:

Missed Elle though, when Garcia talked about her :(
