Not to nitpick last night's episode, but I thought Derek's dad was white? I could swear his character was biracial.

He is biracial - his mom is white.

I think if SM was leaving the show it would've been announced by now. I just did a web search and couldn't find any rumors about him leaving. Have you heard anything official?

MGG already said in an interview that the actor who is leaving, (hopefully temporarily, as far as I'm concerned,) asked HIM to direct that episode. Garcia/Kristen co-wrote that episode.

Yup, there was an interview with MGG months ago where he said that someone was leaving. They've never announced who it is, but it's pretty obvious at this point.

Shemar also supposedly said he originally wanted to leave at the end of season 10. They probably asked him to stick around a little longer because of JLH leaving and AJ going on maternity leave, so they wouldn't have three leads leaving at the same time.

CBS has announced Sean Weatherly is leaving NCIS. If an actor as popular as SM was leaving CM, there would be a similar outcry. I really hope Derek is happily in love with his fiancé. He makes a fuss over Penelope, but she's sooo not his type!

Tonight's episode was quite weird, actually.

Whoops. My tablet is acting weird. I'll have to answer later.

If Shemar does leave I hope he gets another series and doesn't just disappear from acting.

Trying again.

Not necessarily. When Will Gardner was killed off The Good Wife, (also a CBS show,) it was the most surprising, shocking and unanticipated death of a lead actor, especially as it was NOT during sweeps weeks or the season finale. Exec producer, Julianne Margulies asked Josh Charles to stay several more episodes so they could resolve his story line a bit more, and for his leaving the show to not happen during those usual times.

The producers of the show credited the keeping of his death a secret was due to the great professionalism of the NYC cast & crew.


It could have been an accident that MGG told us that a cast member is leaving. However, it could ALSO be a great fake out, which I am still hoping for. Since executive producer/showrunner, Erica Messer took over, she has really made one of the main things about the show now, is that the epidoes have unexpected "twists."

Maybe Morgan does stay with the show, and Shemar's recent tweets showing him on vacation & MGG leaking that a cast member is leaving, are all a big, loooong fake out. MAYBE, he's on his honeymoon with Savannah the week he's not shown with the cast and he will be back. That's something to hope for.

There's ALSO the possibility he still gets killed off. Just when we all think he's safe, this unsub kills him in 2 episodes after all.

But the way his father made it so painfully clear that the worst thing Derek can do to HIS own child is to have him grow up without him around, it seems more likely that Shemar is gearing up to leave the show, And Derek moves onto a job with less life & death risks. They never have done an episode where a profiler finally retires and what it takes for him to finally say he's had enough.

Professionally, for Shemar, 10 years is a long time to be one character, especially for an absolutely gorgeous, deliciously sexy, alpha male actor. IF he wants to make the career jump and be cast in another series with the same casting, he has to do it soon, before his description becomes, "That's Shemar Moore? Wow, he USED to look so hot."

It seems that they are having him leave with a 'desk job' so that it is always open for him to return. I did notice that he promised Savannah that he would never be late again and that is exactly what ruined Hotchner's marriage, working at the BAU ALWAYS takes over your life. You can't promise something like that, unless you know you are not going back.

Not to nitpick last night's episode, but I thought Derek's dad was white? I could swear his character was biracial.

As stated, Derek's mom is white. You're probably thinking of his aunt, who is black. She showed up in a couple episodes and slapped Derek once after she found out he lied to her about his cousin, Cindy, (her daughter,) being dead. So she's pretty memorable for that.

His white mother was shown in a episode where he goes back to Chicago to visit her for her birthday. The family sings the Stevie Wonder version of "Happy Birthday" to her at the dining room table.

That was the same episode he was talking to his father about, when he was molested at 15. For some reason, Lady Gaga popped into my head then. I guess I was expecting her to show up and start singing her Oscar nominated song.

Yes, Thomas Gibson, in an interview, talked about the real statistics that FBI profilers do have a high divorce rate for that reason. Rossi was married 3 times unsuccessfully.

Derek really loves Savannah and he wants to be there for his kid. Both, alive, and present in the way Hotch isn't for Jack.

Yup, that's exactly why I think he is going this route. He watched all these men go for the job first and has learned along the way. He also grew up without a Dad and realized that is NOT what he wants for his child at all.

Remember the season 8 finale where we were all freaking out because a "team member" was supposed to die, and then it ended up being Strauss?

 

[sailorstitch]

I hope Derek gets a job teaching at the FBI academy. He'd have set hours, a safe working environment and can help the next generation of agents learn to be just like him.

I like this. Then maybe he can make appearances and I can have my eye candy every once in a while.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I'm wondering if we will see a Savannah and DM quickie wedding with everyone there and Reid presides over the ceremony. Since she is pregnant and he is going to take some type of a 'desk' job, I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that.

Promo for next week's episode

The next case is in Wichita, KANSAS? It's only 2 1/2 hours from Lawrence, Kansas.

Should I call the Winchesters? They're on hiatus

We should let them be then. If Dean is at some pie festival, he will be really mad to be called in on a case dealing with HUMANS.

Cas will be of no help either. He was acting really weirdly a few weeks ago. Not at all like himself.
