Criminal Minds made me clap my hands with delight. Love the team being back together! Love the whole interview thing tying the show together (very "100" without the accompanying tragedy)! Love the requisite Reid smackdown of the interviewer ("Calm down, Agent." "This is calm, and it's Doctor.")!

Lingering questions:

  • Morgan has problems with both Emily and Hotch--I didn't see that coming (I was expecting him to have issues with Emily, not Hotch).

  • Will JJ meld seamlessly into a profiler, or will she mess up eventually?

  • And the one with the most potential: will Reid repress his abandonment issues with Emily leaving until it shows up in a future ep to bite the entire team on the ass?

I thought that Morgan would forgive Emily before he forgave Hotch. Emily was out of it, and had just been "killed", he could understand her process. He would not forgive Hotch not trusting him/the team. Even if they waited until after the funeral to make their grief look real, the team could have been told.

EW did an interview with the new CM showrunner after last night's ep.

Oh, and another question:

  • So, Reid has been on sabbatical this summer? What's he been doing?

sigh ... I wasn't getting CBS clearly last night - I popped in every so often so I got the gist of what was going on, but missed a lot of the details.

Not really - it seemed to be mostly setting up for the new season.

Although ... what happened to the little blonde who was supposed to be JJ's "replacement"?

She transferred to another department, the one led by the agent from last season's finale.

May I saw that I am comforted by the writers/showrunners. They tried to get rid of JJ and Emily, saw that it did not work, and brought them back. I'm glad that they bit the bullet (or the checkbook) and brought back our girls.
