Oh, that's where Joe Mantegna's from? He was on the PBS ads for the Memorial Day festivities, and Hubby and I were going, "Are we supposed to know who that is?"
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

I think that it's a little of both. They want to cut their costs, but they think that the women are the least valued characters. As much as I like Rossi, Joe Mantegna can't be cheap. How about cutting him a few eps? Or having Hotch take some vacation time with Jack for an ep or two? That's got to save some money.
This is what I think too. Why not give each actor a two or three episodes off a season, similar to what Numb3rs was doing for a while?

exactly. It would be even easier with CM, since it's such an ensemble show. With Numb3ers, they always had to have Don and Charlie. All it would take is one offhand comment about Rossi's book tour or Morgan's sister getting married and it's done.

Right, and Hotch has even more of a reason to want to take some time off to be with his son than JJ does. Now, I kind of want to see an episode where NB has to fill in for Penelope.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
"Riding the Lightning" just broke me. Completely and utterly. Wow.
I seem to recall that there was some buzz about this ep when it first aired, but I can't find anything online to back that up. Someone please let me know if I'm crazy?

You must. The female guest star was incredible, and the intensity of everyone else's performance is so tight and low-key that it upped the emotional impact. I spent the last 10 of the episode crying.

what kind of buzz do you mean?
that ep was fabulous. And the guy who played kid's dad did some serious non verbal acting when Morgan stopped him. The look of relief on his face was stunning.

That it was a really good episode that went places few tv shows have gone. Stark and raw and able to strip you emotionally clean.

Oh hell yes. You could see the fear and apprehension dissipate, knowing that Morgan was not going to destroy what good came out of bad for all of them.
