I just finished rewatching Season 1. I can't remember individual episodes half as well as most people on here seem to! I guess I'm more of a casual watcher, although I thought it was interesting how many of these episodes I actually remembered once I started watching them, even though I haven't seen them in 12 years. I guess they really made an impression, because at the time, I think the show was so different from anything else on TV in that it really got into the minds of the criminals. I agree with a lot of the observations from @JenJenBosco, especially about Garcia. I like how, in Season 1, she's competent at her job, but she's not this invincible or infallible computer expert/hacker she becomes later.
On a shallow note: JJ's hair is much better by the end of the season than it was at the beginning. (It really bugged me at the beginning.)
Interesting talk about Elle. I never really liked her all that much, but I didn't hate her by any means. Gideon also used to really get on my nerves, but I found myself appreciating him much more this time through.
