You throw it away and your beta will haunt you. J/k . . .maybe. :D Love the Reid eyeroll icon :)

This. So much this. Some of y'all know me from other sites. My "signature" on a few of the sites is "Courage cannot erase our fear, courage is when we face our fear" from Seize the Day in Newsies the Musical. The character who sings that is Davey. Spencer and Davey are very much alike (might explain why they are both my favorite characters). Davey reminds me a lot of Reid. Or visversa as David/Davey has been around a lot longer than Spencer if you include the actual movie. . .ANYWAYS ...Reid has shown that aspect of himself tenfold. While I do think Spencer has grown, as almost anyone would in 12 years, I think his bravery has always been there. Yes, he typically uses his words and massive brain to one up an unsub or in one famous scene, an unsub's father, who in my opinion was far more evil than his daughter. While I don't necessarily want him to become a "physical-first" type of person (no idea how to word what I'm thinking), it is nice to know when "push comes to shove (no pun intended) " he can hold his own. One of my favorite "tv tropes" is Badass Bookworm. And yes, they list that for Reid. Lol.

Another title Reid might have . . . Hopefully not from that ***** ...it definitely wouldn't have been consensual or he could've been stolen from.

Oh trust me, I was so relieved to see him out of prison, I didn't really care who was there. I just found that bit with the hugs very nice.

I loved this episode, a solid "A" from me. :) I could talk about a lot of things, but one thing i'll mention is that though I'm really not a JJ fan (don't wish her harm, she's just not a character I care for much) and am only a Garcia fan when she's not acting like a middle school kid, I absolutely LOVED the fact that Reid could hug both of them. If memory serves, both attempted to hug him in "Spencer," and he couldn't hug back because of the handcuffs and the first things he does upon release in Greenlight is hug them both.

yep yep

That's cool, that's your opinion, but I think we'll just have to disagree. :) After all, it would be super boring if everyone agreed on everything. My reasoning is that for the team to not function as a team, would mean, the eventuality of innocents paying for that lack of teamwork. This team, isn't like a lot of jobs where intra-team conflict causes headaches. Intra-team conflict in this team could mean disaster. For you, this opportunity (intra team drama) would be a welcomed change, for me, I wouldn't like it. Now, if they disagreed on procedure, and the like, that would be one thing (like I said above, always agreeing on everything is boring, after all! :) ), but to doubt someone's innocence, for me, would be totally different.*shrugs* No biggie and it's a moot point in any case as it didn't happen. :)

Hmm, while that may be interesting for you snd all the power to you if this floats your boat, I'd still have to say, it would ruin the arc for me. Not to be rude, I like that the newbies don't question Reid's innocence. To me, that would mean, they also question the team and the collective "smart" of the team. I mean, if they think Reid was capable of murder, and that the BAU members who knew him for at least a decade can't see that, then the newbies would be wondering how the older members were so fooled or didn't see it coming. There wouldn't be any trust in the team. Thus, there wouldn't be a team, at least a useful team.

This. I still wouldn't buy it given the new scenarios, please no offence meant, Daniel.

Not to demean you or your opinion at all, but besides Matthew's superb acting skills, the knowledge that his team has full faith in Reid and his innocence, is what's making this arc watchable for me. Favorite character or not, I think I would lose interest in CM if his team, especially the older members of it, didn't know him enough to think he was capable of murder. Yes, they might could have believed he was drugged into it, but still, that would've been mostly out of his control. Just my two cents though :)

Yeah, I'm excited about the next episode and the 2-part season finale :) I know Lindsay changed her name to Katie at the end of 3rd Life, but she easily could go back to it (and apparently has, given the character's name Gia is credited with. Why she would target Reid? My guess, she's bat- crazy. Maybe she saw him as trying to interfere with her wishes for the unsub teen to be killed (even though it didn't work and he was killed anyways). Or something led Scratch to her and she's under his influence.

Ah. Ok. Honestly, I just copied and pasted my post from a different site I had just written the idea and it copied the spoiler tags.

Press Release is up: Unforgettable Press Release And new theory on the woman Reid sees killing the doctor:

AMEN. I have to believe they will have a brother moment, anything less is tantamount to criminal in my opinion.
