Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If we're calling out CM guest stars I gotta put in a vote for James Van Der Beek (who coincided with the start of Reid's first deep arc) who redeemed just about all of the ill will I might have borne for him because of Dawson's Creek. He was marvellously creepy.
I don't miss Gideon or Elle either. Gideon was stuffy and insufferable, and NOT IN CHARGE. But the show wasn't agreed on that, and I thought it messy. Elle was cardboard "I'm a chick, but tough as the guys, and sassy!" Prentiss is so much better. She's a woman, who lays down the law. And Rossi just cracks my shit up. The way they introduced him, to underscore that this isn't your sensitive Gideon (who never shot anyone, unlike the rest of his team) was pretty funny.

“Not dead yet!”
And of course, in all of the CM "Which eps should Maria watch?" none of us mentioned "100."
Maybe because it's this last season and so it's not gonna be on A&E or ion, yet, but oh holy shit, is it gut-wrenching.
And another excellent one is the S4 ep with Alex O'Loughlin as the Unsub (The Big Wheel). He was so cast against type and it was amazing.
ETA: ita, yeah, I gotta agree with you on James Van Der Beek as well. Again, just cast against type and worked it tremendously. I think that's the thing that the show does so remarkably well with its guest stars-- it really asks them to stretch and go to really unfamiliar places as actors.

You know which episode of CM I can't rewatch, because it's so fucked up? North Mammon. And it's not that it's a visual thing. It's the premise, which comes clearly to mind every time I delete it off my TiVo. It was just so horrible. I mean, CM is a show of rescuing people from dark things, hopefully--they don't always get there to stop things, but North Mammon...
Lowest body count ever, but high psychological count.

Dude, yeah. That one is monumentally fucked. Although To Hell... And Back are also two of the most psychologically twisted ones as well, although that body count was definitely on the high side.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I chose not to tape that just last night.

Maria, you shouldn't watch 100 without watching Omnivore, which is where the bad guy is first introduced.

Apparently the CM spinoff is going to be called CM: Suspect Behaviour. Behavior. Whatev.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
LOL.
That sounds like a joke.
