normasm October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 I'm just saying, even if you're kidding (and I know you well enough to be sure you were), others might use your comment as an excuse to say the same about someone, without the smilie. Link to comment

ReidFan October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the Luke thread....it is a bit of a spoiler though, and that's why I opted for here is that Roxy? It looks more like a Retriever to me, but I can't enlarge it in enough clarity to get a better look. either way, Yay! they're using a dog. Just hope it's not a cadaver dog.. 1 Link to comment

zannej October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 Yeah, Roxy had darker fur. I think Luke is probably handling the dogs since he was/is a dog trainer. Either it's a cadaver dog or a search dog of some sort. Link to comment

(and since we seem to agree it's a Retriever and not Roxy, yay to the writers for not just tossing in "Look!

normasm October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 What episode is this from? It's definitely not Luke's dog. But it could be a search dog, and evidently Luke has experience with that, so it makes sense. Link to comment

CrimeFan12 October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 Looks like a Golden Retriever and they are quite often used for search and rescue and as cadaver dogs. Link to comment
Willowy October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 Roxy's an entirely different breed, a Belgian Tervuren. That pic does look like a Golden, but with her/his hair definitely trimmed. Golden's have flowing hair. Looks like a lab, too. They have the same face as a Golden, but with shorter hair. Maybe a Chesapeake Bay? Kinda fun trying to figure this out. :) Link to comment
CrimeFan12 October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 If only we could see the tail. The tail would tell us...lol. I'm going to stick with a Golden. :-D My Aunt had them and neither had a really long flowing coat. Link to comment

I'd be pissed if I didn't know our boo Reid is off right now. But am I the only one that doesn't think the newest new guy is necessary at all? I mean, I'm sure he's a fine actor and whatever, but damn! We barely have room for Luke and Tara! 3 Link to comment
CrimeFan12 October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 I'm on the fence about the decision, but I'm just going to sit back and see how it plays out. He may not be in every episode. Aisha has missed one so far and she's a regular. Just have to wait and see. It's the same position I held when Adam was hired. I wasn't going to judge before I saw him in action and I like what I see. Link to comment
zannej October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 Nothing personal against the new guy, but I do agree that there are already too many people on the show. I like Luke and Tara though. 1 Link to comment
ForeverAlone October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 With the new addition to the team, I could see Criminal Minds going the route of SVU, where they have a stable of series regulars, but they are not all in every episode. Otherwise, it is going to get really bloated really fast. 4 Link to comment
normasm October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 If that's true, then when do we have an episode w without JJ? Without Rossi? Without Garcia? If you can bring a crowd of people in to try to cover the fact that Reid isn't there, they ought to stick around while some of the others rotate out for an episode or three 7 Link to comment
ReidFan October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 Totally agree with that Normasm. Especially since her marriage is a two career household. There must be those days where both kids are sick and will is already working and sick baby just wants mommy kind of thing. I know it happened in MY family and I'm not even the 'career' parent. It's be so easily explained for Rossi too--his flight home from visiting joy hot cancelled or sumthin'..... 5 Link to comment

Love the fact that so many people were asking Harry about MGG/Reid. I guess with the show having lost both Hotch and Morgan so close together, it's easy for anxious fans to imagine that we could be loosing yet another long time character. 4 Link to comment

Wow, how tall are the cast members of CM? They must be the tallest cast on TV! I always crack up when JJ is called Pennsylvania Petite. Sure, compared to the rest of the BAU. But petite often refers to women 5'4" and under, and AJ Cook appears to be around 5'6" or 5'7." To me that is tall. Link to comment

The only time they deviate from this is if the differences in height is being done to show something about a character, with taller characters being the "stronger" ones- I mean, you're not going to get a believable "badass" if that character is shorter than everyone.

At this point, I'm used to it. Anyway, we had a thread regarding what our roles would be with the BAU and I envisioned myself someone not in the field, using my research and writing skills. I seriously doubt a woman my size would work in the field. And I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting a gun. I also envision scenes of Reid always running to my aid whenever I have difficulty reaching something placed up way too high, even when I'm in heels because he is very much a gentleman. And Rossi when he was at his most snarky calling me "Short Stack." 1 Link to comment
normasm October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 I do think there is a height requirement for FBI (field jobs) as there is for the military, and Booky and I would be staring each other in the eyes with disappointment as we are told we don't qualify. Link to comment
ForeverAlone October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 If the FBI is anything like the military, the height requirement is basically non existent, since about 98% of the adult population would be tall enough for the military. Link to comment
zannej October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 When I looked at the requirements for the FBI they had age restrictions but there was nothing about height requirements. That might fall into the category of physical fitness, but I don't think height alone would disqualify them. They would only be disqualified if they were unable to do the physical tasks required-- such as obstacle courses and running certain distances in a set period of time. The requirements have changed over the years. I think back in the 70s being male with no tattoos and/or facial hair was mandatory to be hired by the FBI. They mentioned the FBI badge on something about historic objects in history. They said 20,000 people apply for jobs as special agents and less than 1% make it in. Link to comment
