Yes the writers are a bunch of CHILDREN. I am not bothered by Emily smacking down an agent, what I AM bothered by is how sexist the show is against men.

The show is pretty misandrist and is sexist towards men. Have you ever had a teacher who was pretty fun loving and laid back? But then the kids started acting out and the teacher tries to toughen up. Only the teacher can't be taken seriously because the kids still see her as fun and walk over her. Or the teacher does a 180 and becomes a drill sergeant? That's what watching Prentiss smack down Alvez was like.

The writers really wrote JJ as a bitch.

Neistche said it. It was used in "100." And Luke should practice what he preaches. Lol. But a rogue agent is a sexy agent.

I liked it.

Here's an example: In season 9's episode "Bully," Alex gets requested by her father to investigate a homicide. She tells the team and the team isn't convinced and JJ says they can turn the plane around. Um, I think that's Hotch's call about investigating a case and where the plane goes. Not yours, blonde. Furthermore, Reid and all the other major characters got shoved to the sidelines because JJ was solving every case. SHE came up with the eureka moment. Every time. No one was allowed to make a break except her. And let's not forget the eye rolling and disrespect for Reid. Yet we're supposed to believe that she didn't want to be Unit Chief.

Oh yeah, I don't think she was punished for anything though. Hotch just had her stay behind to console Garcia. Funny how JJ looked uncomfortable during her stint as UC. But she had NO problem taking over investigations and trying to boss everyone around in season 9. That should've been something Hotch called her on.

When did JJ get benched? Also effective and Emily Prentiss don't belong in the same sentence, so you're right when you say that she should've waited a day or two. Also Emily didn't bench Reid. The for every 30 days take 100 days off was because the higher ups mandated it as part of his reinstatement. She called it a safely valve.

And SHE'S the one dogging on Luke for being unprofessional. Classy.

Because other members of the team have done similar "gone rogue" stunts and didn't get in trouble. Sounds like a certain unit chief has to prove herself. Lol I would have rather had a new character. She starts NOW acting like a boss? She should've been doing it sooner.

Prentiss is a ginormous hypocrite. Luke should've put a bullet in her brain for that. I'm glad she finally acted like a boss instead of a friend, but the fact remains she is a hypocrite. She's still no unit chief. I just don't think she likes Alvez.

Yeah, but Emily ALSO deleted the recording of the interrogation of Reid in Mexico. It became a moot point once Lindsey and Cat entered the picture, but still. Hotch covered up Reid's drug addiction. Ditto with the team covering for Strauss.

Send a man like Luke my way! Lol . On one hand, I AM glad Emily is acting like a Unit Chief instead of a teddy bear with everyone. But on the other hand, don't you think she's being a bit of a hypocrite?

I think the Tall Man is just an old folk tale and the unsub was using it to cover up his true crimes.

I thought Garcia would be a quivering mess while being held hostage. No, she proved plenty tough and gave it right back to Meadows and when that wasn't enough, she ran the bitch over with a car. That was my favorite part.

Yeah, that's my problem with her. She thinks she's a royal princess. I hope she gets killed by an unsub.

I really agree about Prentiss. I'll take the Luke fest over her any day. She needs to GO.

I thought the episode was very good. It was the only JJ episode i liked. I like that we got character development and we met Rosalyn. I liked that it wasn't just an open and shut Slender Man like case. And Garcia wasn't using her magical computer and we broke from the formula. Reminded me of CM in the old days, really. But the guidance counselor being the unsub was very obvious. Next week's episode looks promising.

Prentiss can enforce something about as well as helium balloon. A DOG could enforce the rules better. Murderous psychopath is a bit much IMHO. Kid had behavior problems and parents didn't listen to the teachers and correct it. And the kid came from an extremely religious environment. Finding out something shocking like that, coupled with him acting out and an underdeveloped brain, it's no wonder he snapped.

The pastor clearly stated in his sermon that adulterers should be punished. At the very least, he's inciting violence. Now, not excusing what the unsub did, but adolescents are impressionable. His brain isn't developed yet, and being from a religious household, he took those sermons and what the old testament said to heart. It's entirely possible that the son talked to the pastor about it and he egged the poor kid on!

That pastor should've been charged.

You know, we've been getting a lot of "Rossi focus" lately. New love interest, he's being mentioned a lot more. I wonder I'd he's gonna take his turn in peril soon. So far, he's the only agent that hasn't been kidnapped or tortured. Even Garcia, the tech analyst got it.

And 200 is considered by many to be the worst episode of the entire season because of blatant continuity errors, torture porn, among other things.

The season premiere should've began with the cult sacrificing Prentiss. We wouldn't have to deal with her. She was fine when she was a part of the old team. Her "team" is a bunch of chickens running around and a panda bear is leading them.

So Thomas was fired because of egomaniac Virgil Williams. But not this guy. Makes total sense. I wonder where their priorities are.
