“Who invites that person up to the room without checking with the actual patient?”

I believe that cassette is being inserted backwards. 

I’m woefully late reading this, but you’re absolutely right (also beautifully written). While I’m not sure Morgan intended each character to be defined by a specific decade, it’s definitely evident throughout the series. Spot on about Charles, too: he is straight-up 80s.

Welcome, welcome to the drawer

Thanks! (And also, 21 years ago.... A full legally-drinking person. Geez, I’m old.)

You literally made me laugh out loud.

I counted those to make sure there were the right number. :D

Ross’s special attack is Unagi

“When Criminal Minds launched in 2005"

Yes, this. 

I’m gonna bring you down with me, you lousy, lyin’ pig, you and Charles Van fucking Doren!

Andover, MN.  Believe it or not, Andover, MI exists only as the figment of someone’s imagination.  Great commercial!

Oh, say it ain’t so!

On the one hand, I get Steven’s anger over not knowing his family or being denied a normal childhood.

Other hand, if Greg’s parents were that cold and controlling that they never replied to his letters after he left home, can you blame him for not going back? Could you imagine how crushed he would be if his parents…

My English husband, who lived in north Wales fro many years, suggests ‘fuckio’, adding that a lot of Welsh swear words are English words that have been slightly changed.
