Willowy September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 That's cool, but it's rumored that's what's going to happen so I mentioned it. Sorry if Reid possibly losing his mother doesn't cut it for you. Maybe they'll go in another direction. 2 Link to comment
Droogie September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 Hey, I appreciate the heads up! But the writers seem to have three gears when it comes to Reid:. Addiction/angst, Diana or the being butt of a joke. I'm tired of all of them. 7 Link to comment
Willowy September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 Right. I hope if they do the Diana angle that they really show depth. This is the oldest and most enduring and formative relationships in Reid's life (even though we've only been privy to it superficially in the last few years), and I'd like them to show it the attention it deserves. It could really be powerful if done correctly. 1 Link to comment

CrimeFan12 September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 Hi, everyone. I've been lurking for a while checking things out before signing up. I got burned at another site for not blindly following TG so I'm a tad leery to try this again. I'm been with the show from the very beginning and will probably be there to the very end. For the past four years I kept telling myself that I'm not going to watch it anymore and yet I keep tuning in week after week. At times I thought I was a glutton for punishment....lol. After all the shakeups and cast additions (hoping no more) are finally finished, I find myself looking forward to the season. I think the new blood and the return Emily will give it new life. Of course this hinges on the writers producing quality scripts and turning the focus back on the team and not on the UnSub. All I can do is sit back and see how it goes. I hoping it will be a success and continue for several more years. If this is the last year for it, it won't be simply because of TG, the poor writing and its age will be the main cause. Twelve years is a excellent run for a TV show these days. 10 Link to comment

So glad you got my message. And found your way over here. I think you will enjoy it here. And I agree about Reid needing a break. Us Reid fans could also use a break. A break from having him be marginalized as much as he has been these last few season. 3 Link to comment

Danielg342 September 16, 2016 Author Share September 16, 2016 The only way I could accept a Diana story is if they manage to bring back Jane Lynch and thus be able to "show" us the story. I'm not interested in yet another compelling Reid story being done off-screen. 4 Link to comment

senin September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 Welcome, CrimeFAn12 and TKL. Good to have more people here, more opinions... and now I'm not the new-one anymore !!! As I'm writing this have a re-run of The Hunt playing in the background , and they just showed the ad for next season, I'm not sure if it's the same one you're getting in the States, Canada,,, (remember, I'm writing from Spain) but it's mainly scenes from the Storm, and individual shots of the actors, including Paget. and they are still saying "coming in October", still not a fixed date. I'm getting really impatient now!!! 2 Link to comment

Droogie September 17, 2016 Share September 17, 2016 I love Reid's prominence in these pics. That's going a long way to assuage my ire over the last few seasons. Let's see if they can keep it up. 2 Link to comment
ReidFan September 17, 2016 Share September 17, 2016 this one's perfect except personally I'd prefer they were either all the same size/scale or Paget at least equalled Joe in size, it looks unbalanced to me right now, but I love the other five as is. 2 Link to comment

Danielg342 September 17, 2016 Author Share September 17, 2016 I assume that Rossi has "the biggest head" because he'll likely receive top billing. I reckon Paget Brewster will be second, or receive an "and starring..." credit (like Thomas Gibson did). 2 Link to comment

CrimeFan12 September 17, 2016 Share September 17, 2016 Oh geez Louise. Why is the A in my screen name capitalized? And how the heck do I fix it...lol? I think the picture of Rossi is from the season I swear he dyed his hair. There wasn't a gray hair to be found all year. JM always has had top billing. The place you want to be in the opening credits is first or last. Those are the prime spots. 2 Link to comment

I don't know who decides these things, if it's Joe or the hair folks at CM, but no matter what color his hair is, his face is always orange. I gave up on the makeup folks at CM years ago. 4 Link to comment
CrimeFan12 September 17, 2016 Share September 17, 2016 Lol...I never noticed the makeup. I just remember in his first episode, his beard kept changing throughout it. It was there full, then it wasn't there and then in the middle like it was growing in. 1 Link to comment

It's weird for me that they are such different sizes. And it breaks my heart to not see Hotch. If they want to feature an actor prominently, do it by giving them screen time and not a promo pic. I love Paget and I think it makes sense to have Prentiss as the unit chief. That said, I just cannot watch without Hotch. Smoker, you and I are of the same mind on this. As for JJ, loved her as the media liaison and was thrilled when they brought her back. But, by the end of season 7, I grew to not care for her based on what they've done to her character. I didn't mind that they made her a profiler, although I preferred her role as the media liaison, but when they started to make her super JJ, it turned me off, especially when in so many episodes she was given so much to do and others were barely given anything. There could be all kinds of reasons for this, but it just bothered me. I don't mind when a cast member gets an episode or two that centers on them, but by season 8 it had become the JJ/Morgan Show. And I also mind when they have JJ take over. Hotch was the unit chief and he should have been the one to decide how to proceed, when to give the profile, what to discuss with the local LEOs, etc. Let me add that I don't like it when any character does this, not just JJ, lest I be accused of being "a hater." I agree wholeheartedly with JMO about the missed opportunities on CM. Every season I think it's going to be the last one, so I've given up hope of them ever getting some decent writers or returning to the original premise of the show. And now, without Hotch, I won't be watching. Amen. I think I could put your comment in a frame SSAHotchner :) I can't stand the cheapy insubordination. In the golden age, when someone went rogue, Hotch disapproved it (sometimes), even other members of the team gave a reproving look. Rossi in About face, Reid in Elephant's Memory or Morgan in: In Heat, Lo-Fi, Hopeless, Cradle to Grave,... and JJ (as a profiler) is as insubordinate as Morgan. It's beyond me why their attitud is acepted so passively and so often. In regard to the missed opportunities you both can add me to that club. It's such a shame.

TimetoShine September 20, 2016 Share September 20, 2016 I've got to say, I not at all looking forward to the return of Prentiss. She's always been the dullest one of the bunch. Vanilla. Never cared for the character. Link to comment
Willowy September 20, 2016 Share September 20, 2016 Hmm, I would think if any one of our gals would be described as 'vanilla', it would be JJ. Midwestern, corn-fed, wife and mommy (off the clock)... Emily's a fallen Catholic with punk roots that 'sins to win' in Vegas every chance she gets. While I think that both her and JJ are badasses in their own way, I disagree that Prentiss fits the vanilla label. 5 Link to comment
ReidFan September 20, 2016 Share September 20, 2016 just saw the new season promo, and I gotta say other than missing Hotch :-( it looks kinda promising. *first* face we see is Reid's, and he's badassing with the gun, just like he did in the last few eps of last season. I'm hoping our fears of him being pushed into the background are not materialising :) There's even a side by side scene of joint drawn weapons with New Guy :) (which, lol, I am in the process of writing another fanfic. Almost complete, I was giving it a reread, where I go through it with the thought that I'm seeing it for the first time, for clarity and corrections. And I missed something. And a beta reader is LOLing and I wonder why.... well what is wrong with this: "He came around a corner and slid to a stop as he recognised the five faces sitting in the waiting room. Lewis, Rodriguez, Garcia, Prentiss and JJ were engrossed in a conversation and it was Prentiss who looked up and saw him first." I read it four times and saw nothing wrong with it.
