I don't know if this belongs here or in the obsession thread, but I watched Angels and Demons back to back on ION tonight, and Spencer's final scene with Alex has me all verklempt. I suppose it's kind

Oh, it definitely does. Once again, someone he "got" and who "got" him is gone. He's a much stronger man now, but, yeah, it still hurts.   Oh, the subtext running across that gorgeous face! That's a

Because this show is no longer entertaining me, I have to make my own fun.   I want to know where Reid goes when he vanishes at the mid-way point of most episodes.   Is he being chronically abduct

I found someone who is exactly like Dr. Spencer Reid. Smart and intelligent. But with the confidence and power of Aaron Hotchner. :)

Good for you HotchGirl... I like Hotch too just not as much as Spencer... The other quality Dr Reid has apart from obvious intelligence is his empathy, may that be for bereaving parents or for a mentally unstable unsub. Also he is selfless, always putting others before himself. I will stop or else I can go on when is comes to Reid.

I do not normally fall for TV show characters or stars. I usually don't even know their names in real life. I know they're just playing a part so the person I'm seeing on the screen is not the actual actor in real life. I'm in my mid-50s, and I think the last time I swooned over a star was in my middle school years (mostly because that's what the other girls in my neighborhood did).

Having said that... I absolutely adore Reid!! He is everything in one very nice package. Smart. Honorable. Good looking. He has a little of the awkward boyish shyness while having the integrity and loyalty of a grown man. He has softness in how he loves and ruggedness in his face and hair. He has it all.

I am officially in love with Reid and Mathew Gray Gubler. I look forward to having him all to myself in my dreams! ❤️?

Now that you've learned to appreciate his angry side, you might try to learn to enjoy other aspects: thinking Spencer, vulnerable Spencer, caring Spencer, nerdy Spencer, ... many sides to the character, all of them very good. 

(May I confess that I also think that angry Reid is reaaallyyyy hot ?)

Angry Reid is hot. Really.

The thing is, it's not a new Reid. He has always had it in him; he has always been a badass.  It manifests itself differently with him -- he doesn't kick in doors, or bash in heads.  He verbally annihilates, outsmarts, out-thinks. He brushes off insults about the fact that he doesn't look like a Morgan, doesn't act like a Hotch.  But he is the first -- and often only -- one to go in to a dangerous situation, unarmed and unprotected, prepared to use only his mind and his words.  And Reid is the only one, has always been the only one, to identify with the Unsubs, to risk his life for them.  It never generated the awe that it should have.

There is nothing more badass than that. He was at the end of his tether, in prison -- we saw how far he would go.  Maybe he would have even gone further, but thankfully, he was released.  But this Reid is merely an extension of the man he has always been.  Reid has always stuck his neck out, always risked himself, always been willing to go down for the cause.  Real bravery is being terrified and doing it anyway.

Wow Droogie well put and completely agree with all you are saying. I am just not very good with words generally :). Breen manages to write more aggressive/assertive Reid very well. 

Finally seen a finale revolving around Reid after a long time (after fisher king) and MGG and Aubrey Plaza were both brilliant.

The way he says "watch me", just wow!!! That is my new favourite scene.

It's about time Reid became more assertive. He's a grown man now. And it's baddass and sexy.

The CM official Facebook page is s cesspool of disgruntled NHNWers and Shemar's Baby Girls who do not seem to want to let him move on.  Even though that's HIS wishes. 

I've tried posting there but anything remotely positive about the show or Reid specifically is immediately overrun by hoards of grammatically challenged young ones espousing how awful the show is now.  And that they need to bring back Shermar (sic) and Hodge(sic). Endlessly 

CBS own site has the same issue  

I don't doubt that Shemar Moore was the big draw. Just look to his social media following. And there is a faction that love the Morgan Garcia thing. But there's also the faction of us that wanted that dialed back -too much is not a good thing.

But both Joe and Matthew have substantial followings. And so do both Paget and AJ. Even Kirsten.  I don't think Facebook is the best platform to measure popularity

I'm not sure how the producers gauge the fan reaction anymore.  I would think methods that require time and effort would hold the most weight but who actually writes letters anymore these days?
