Criminal Minds 05x02 Haunted: Reid Tells Garcia Why Hotch Doesn't Blink

[auntiekaykay9]

@GONEmypurpleflapjack, Who is afraid of the weeping angels? ;) Actually, Hotch and the Doctor have a lot in common -- they're both deeply compassionate, have a strong sense of right and wrong, and have the courage to act on their convictions. Hotch just needs to loosen up a bit!

[auntiekaykay9]

Love this clip. For those who were wondering, alpha males do blink; but people who are very focused may blink less often, and alpha males are often very focused.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

HE doesn't blink becuase he's afraid of the weeping angels.

[kamaracullen]

Garcia: Is he ok?

Reid: I woulsn't b but ..im a blinker

lol best line yet :)

[chasez1]

@ksprenger1 yeah same here. LOL now I'm even more curious.

[chasez1]

Is the comment about blinking true? Ever since I saw this on the show I've been looking online for some actual information on it. I know, I have way too much time on my hands. But human behavior fascinates me. :)

@chasez1

LOL, I tried looking online for an answer, but this video is what popped up! :D

[FireBallThePony]

@chasez1 so im not the only weirdo that did it :) lol

[magickelfgirl]

Ok that's a morbid conversation, wondering if he didn't blink even when he was stabbed. I love this show.

[hotchsgirl2005]

@magickelfgirl in the episode Nameless, Faceless, Hotch actually closed his eyes while being stabbed.

[Hotch1561]

so basically alpha male means a man who is powerful and has an attitude that says they are in charge. Thanks now i understand the video

[Hotch1561]

What is an alpha male?

[ksprenger1]

@Hotch1561

From wiki: (definitely applies to Hotch)

The term "alpha male" is sometimes applied to humans to refer to a man who is powerful through his courage and a competitive, goal-driven, "take charge" attitude. With their bold approach and confidence "alpha males" are often described as charismatic. While "alpha males" are often overachievers and recognized for their leadership qualities, their aggressive tactics and competitiveness can also lead to resentment by others.
