Criminal Minds -- DIS Official Thread 1 (SPOILERS!)

[Imzadi]

I can't picture him being mean!


Look who's back

Okay, here is one of my favorite moments with Hotch. I think this is when I switched and fell for him over my usual beefcakey type, Morgan.

Being the Unit Chief and all that entails, the bureaucracy, the paperwork, the pressure and enormous guilt of having a member of his team shot, yet he's still sensitive and thoughtful enough to think to wipe the blood off the wall, that's the kind of guy for me.

Well, not exactly someone who will wipe the blood off the wall. But, only on this thread, I'm sure you gals know what I mean. I'm sure that type of procedure wasn't included in the FBI handbook.

Even back then, long before "Tweet the Feet," they were showing his feet, and we knew it was his feet.

I got so excited when I saw that picture

I loved that scene too. He had a lot of good scenes in seasons 1 and 2, when he wasn't as serious/before Haley left him(What was she thinking? ). Not that he isn't as awesome now, but he smiled a lot more earlier in the show. I never liked Haley. I don't think he was in the FBI yet when they got married, but he was when she decided to have a kid with him. She should've known what she was getting into

Speaking of Haley and Jack...I miss him! He's so cute, I want to see him more I know CM has been cutting back on guest stars this season(No Kevin, only 3 episodes of Strauss ) but I don't think Jack is in the same category. That scene he had with Hotch in the Halloween episode was adorable

In some earlier episode - actually it was part 1 of that episode I linked to, The Fisher King, Hotch & Haley talk about how he met her in high school. He started off being a lawyer, at first, not intending to go into the FBI.

Actually, Jack will be back for one episode coming up. I think it might be the season finale. His character name was listed in the credits. So we will get to see him a little bit. He's such a cutie.

That's what I thought but I wasn't positive.

YAY!!! We get JJ, Kevin, AND Jack in the finale! Even though it's the last episode for a while, it'll be a good one! Do you know if Strauss is in the finale? My mom said she saw the actress on some other show and automatically didn't like her character because of Strauss

 

[Tink9721]

This is the scene I was talking about. Particularly the second part.

[Tink9721]

I just checked TV.com and they don't have the cast list for the finale yet but Jack is listed for the May 4th episode

Whoops, the credits I saw are for the next new episode on May 4th. Jack will be in that.

The info for the finale hasn't been released yet. Just some pictures here & there.

Here is one of J.J. with her hair & makeup people.

This is the scene I was talking about. Particularly the second part.

I love this scene!

 

[Tink9721]

So good to see AJ back on set and know she's not just a guest star this time I loved seeing her on Paget's last episode but it was sad to say bye to her again I'll be very happy to see her back in the regular cast where she belongs!

I wonder if NBC is getting angry letters from CM fans telling them that they better not pick up Paget's pilot :scrathin

 

[Tink9721]

Based on some tweets from Joe Mantegna, it looks like JJ's not in much of the finale.

"Shooting the last day of the season. I have a scene today with an old friend."

"Watch for the last scene in the last episode."

And a happy picture

I've been thinking about that. over-analysing again. Well, heck, I have CM on ION, in the background. There's nothing else good on TV tonight.

This is the ratings for CM. It's in the Top TEN of ALL shows during the week - not just Wed nite, in total viewers (number following title is in millions)

1 AMERICAN IDOL-WEDNESDAY 23,031
2 American Idol-THURSDAY 21,918
3 DANCING WITH THE STARS 20,930
4 NCIS 19,870
5 DANCING W/STARS RESULTS 15,964
6 NCIS: LOS ANGELES 15,456
7 CRIMINAL MINDS 13,585
8 CASTLE 12,329
9 Bones 11,448
10 SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLD 11,086


Of the top 5 scripted shows (not reality-tv shows,) it was the # 5 scripted show in the demographic 18-49 and # 3 in total viewers! Blue font are scripted shows.

1 AMERICAN IDOL-WEDNESDAY 7.3 (reality-tv)
2 American Idol-THURSDAY 6.4 (reality-tv)
3 DANCING WITH THE STARS 4.5 (reality-tv)
4 OFFICE 4.0
5 NCIS 3.9
6 Modern Family 3.9 7 Bones 3.5
8 Criminal Minds 3.5
9 NCIS: LOS ANGELES 3.3 10 HOUSE 3.2

(Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior was over all #16 but # 10 scripted show in total viewers and # 22 over all # 15 in the 18-49 demo.)


With so many million viewers watching CM and 13 million who turned out to see Prentiss' last episode, that's a LOT of viewers who most likely will NOT watch her new sitcom, if they know it means she will come back to CM, if that series tanks!

Even if only half the current viewers: 1.5 million in the 18-49 demographic, and 8 million total, don't watch, that means only about 1.5 viewers show up, which really puts the sitcom in jeopardy.


There is always a chance too, *I think,* that the series could decide to replace her if they go to series, and buy her contract out. Or something like that. I remember when Merrin Dungey (from Alias,) was in the pilot for Private Practice. When it got picked up as a series, they replaced Merrin.

The same happened with the blonde in the pilot episode of Breakout Kings.

Maybe, NBC will realize if the want that sitcom to have any chance at all, it would be better to replace Paget.

Maybe she shows up again, when the team gets back, to say she wants back in. The same way she showed up with baby Henry, that time, after the team came back, to say she was coming back to work early. That's the BAU in the background.

I hope Joe also shows us a shot of Seaver's rear end, and she leaves the BAU for good!

Well, she can come back for an episode now and again, on LOAN, to show us, she's slowly gaining some brains.

It really says a lot about CM that it's doing so well, considering it plays at the same time as the second half of American Idol.

How the heck is NCIS: Los Angeles doing better than CM? Stupid CBS and their spin offs...Not even just CBS. I hate spin offs If a show is gonna have a spin off, they should do it with a character that used to be on the original show, and not have it be a clone of the original with a different cast. I know it would never happen, but a Gideon spin off would've been cool

I feel bad that we're all sitting here hoping that NBC dumps Paget But we know coming back to CM would be best for her

And maybe that will be the cliffhanger It would be hard to do another situation with a team member in danger as a cliffhanger after the intense Prentiss episode.

I still say that they should just ship Seaver over to SB, assuming it doesn't get cancelled. That way, the Seaver fans can still see her every week, and the Seaver haters don't have to That's assuming that Seaver fans like SB and Seaver haters don't, but that does seem to be the way it works.

Hmm, I hadn't even thought about a cliffhanger. Your right, after such an intense Prentiss episode, I hadn't even thought of one.

The cliffhanger better not be whether Hotch or Morgan come back.

The only other thing I can think of would be something involving Seaver, since they don't know if Prentiss is coming back/if Seaver is leaving yet. If Prentiss comes back they could kill Seaver in the season 7 premiere. But CM seems to be the only show that won't kill off main characters, so I'm not sure. But then the last scene being in the BAU would be weird, because usually in those episodes the last scene is of the team member in danger(Like Morgan last season, Hotch the season before, etc.) Unless they just give up on Seaver and go home I can't imagine JJ showing up at the BAU and saying "I'm here to help you guys find that girl who looks like me!"

This is gonna bother me until the 18th

On TG's Twitter, so many people got confused looking at pics with Faux J.J., especially when they straightened her hair, to look exactly like the real J.J., maybe the team brings in J.J. to confuse the unsubs?

Unless they just give up on Seaver and go home

I think that would become my favorite all-time episode.

That's how they'll get it past Strauss! Seaver dies and then JJ pretends to be her!

I think that would become my favorite all-time episode.

"Oh well. She's probably already dead. She's too dumb to figure out how to survive a hostage situation."

 

[Imzadi]

No! Then J.J would get a pay cut.


Oh, wait! I figured it out. Strauss leaves for an episode for that personal thing she has to attend to. Hotch takes over. He fires Seaver and rehires J.J. pulling her off her job at the Pentagon. When Strauss comes back, she can't undo the changes.

Is there such a thing as "Seaver fans"? Cuz I've never heard of em!

 

[Imzadi]

Is there such a thing as "Seaver fans"? Cuz I've never heard of em!

There's a few of them here. They didn't think much of J.J. one way or the other, so having a Faux J.J. has been pretty much the same thing.
