So broken down by season
Season Six- 4 (but I place the season so low, because I hated the cast chaos, the introduction of Ashley, and Emily super spy)
Season Seven- 4 (and I LOVE these four, and I like more episodes)
Season Eight- 4 (same amount as the other seasons, but overall I just love these episodes less)
Season Nine- 3 (I personally feel this was the most poorly written season as an aggregate)

Don't feel embarrassed about liking season seven. I remember when I got the DVDs and binge rewatched the series, I was amazed at how much better it was than I remembered when I watched the show on a weekly basis. Sure there are some turkeys in that season, but I can say that about even my beloved seasons. But some of my favorite episodes are in season seven, which is why I rank it as high as I do.
I've been selectively rewatching early episodes, and I really do appreciate the darker, more serious, more adult tone of the episodes. It was in everything from the production values to the stories to the ways the characters acted. It's why I can appreciate a character like Gideon. He may have been a drama queen, but he brought a gravitas to the line of work. It's harder to quantify, but the more recent seasons just sort of have a candy-coated sheen to them, from the cheesy personal interactions to the serious dearth of psychological insight and intelligent profiling.

Now that season nine is done, what are your updated season rankings? Mine are:
Season Four
Season Two
Season One
Season Three
Season Seven
Season Five
Season Eight
Season Six
Season Nine
Yep, I think season nine was the worst season of the series so far. Here is hoping they rally for season 10.

While in general I like pre season 7 JJ better than the current version (but that is mainly because there was just too much damn screen time for her in season nine and she is not a compelling enough character in my opinion to warrant it), I always thought JJ was the most expendable of the main characters. I honestly don't think her departure messed with the show that much, except that it made way for Ashley. *Boo Hiss* I felt Emily's departure much more, because I felt Emily (and Elle) added more to the show and the team in general and were just more interesting characters for me.

Wow. It took LDSK this long to get a vote cast against it.
Still.. I vote Compulsion. :)

Some modifications after some more thought:
1. Reid
2. Hotch
3. Emily
4. Elle
5. Gideon
6. Alex
7. Penelope
8. Morgan
9. Rossi
10. Jordan (I'm being mean here, because it is more of a diss to JJ, but she annoys me enough these days to place her below her replacement that existed only to show how perfect JJ was at her job, and how apparently no one else (except the non-FBI agent Penelope that is) can do her job well).
11. JJ
12. Ashley

Machismo and Riding the Lightning.
What bothered me the most about that episode is that they knowingly allowed an innocent woman to be executed. I don't care if that was what she wanted, and she did it to protect her son. The state should not be executing someone unless they know for a fact that the person committed the crime. If there is any question (and we know that innocent people have been executed in the real world), it should have been halted. I didn't find her "sacrifice" noble, as much as I was disturbed that Gideon allowed it to happen.

AJ did have a good response to that question as well, by mentioning that these type of shows can also inspire people to go into law enforcement to actually catch criminals like this, and not just become criminals.

Jennifer Jareau: Pennsylvania Petite

You see AJ more, because she is now being touted as a super fit, super hot babe. I mean, she even made Maxim's Hot 100, so she is definitely enjoying her time in the sun as a sex symbol.
