Interesting.
I would be there right now.

Oh, Sera Gamble also confirms that Ben Edlund wrote the episode that introduces Bella - so episode 4, I believe.

Huh. That could have been interesting too. JM seems sort of soft and normal but I think it might be interesting to see what direction they take the head guy role and if he plays against type or not.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Don't forget JM originated a lot of Mamet roles, so he can get tough when needed.

They're both interesting casting choices that I have a hard time picturing. Clearly, this new character is going to be very different from Gideon.

Well, just thinking about the two JM roles I'm most familiar with: Mr. Girardi on JoA and that movie exec on Starter Wife - they were v. different from each other.

I just read that Patinkin is coming back to film some kind of "conclusion" for his character. But get this:
My moles at Criminal Minds have just confirmed for me exclusively that disgraced cranky-pants Mandy Patinkin will be returning to the show this fall after all — but only for one episode (airing Oct. 3), so as to provide some closure for his Gideon character. Strange as that may sound, though, that isn't the really odd part: He'll only be in one scene, and he'll essentially be the only one in it.
Why? Well, duh! My spies tell me that no one in the cast wanted to work opposite him again after he brought production to a standstill by pulling a no-show without even calling in (cough, cough) sick. What's more, Minds' producers were forced to use a special crew to shoot the pariah's scene because the show's regular staff refused to be on set with him.
Ausiello has more here.

Did you see that the writing staff of c.s.i. and 21/2 men are thinking of switching?
By which I mean - the 2.5 men guys would write a c.s.i. and vice-versa.

Great idea. How fun.
It is a shame that Mandy Patinkin has been such an asshat. I have enjoyed his work.
