Criminal Minds

1/ HOTCH2/ Morgan, Emily, Garcia, JJ -3/ Rossi, Gideon & Reid - too much exposure20/Elle - I didn't really like herI've only seen the last 3 episodes of season 3 so I couldn't really comment on Rossis earlier actions.

My faves in order are:1. Prentiss2. Morgan3. Reid4. JJ5. Gideon (how I miss him!)6. Garcia7. Hotchner8. Rossi (I disliked him a lot in the beginning, but he has grown on me)9. Elle

1. Gideon (He always looked out for Reid. The character shouldn't be confused with the actor. If the actor has issues, it isn't the character's fault. But another actor wouldn't be able to portray him the same.)2. Garcia (Finally an INTELLIGENT, NON-PETIT woman! And I love that she has an attitude that isn't bitchiness.)3. Reid (A deep intellect with issues. He could almost be a bad boy if he had a different body type and attitude. )4. Morgan (The man is HOT! 'Nough said)5. JJ, Prentiss (I don't think either of them get enough credit.)6. Hotch (Nothing against him, but I think he should have fought harder for his marriage.)7. Elle (She was ok, I guess, I missed a lot of the first season with her.)8. Kevin (He's all right, but he shouldn't be movin' in on Morgan's girl. )9. JJ's Beau from LA (Love the accent!)10. Reid's mom11. Most of the local law enforcement that they work with.12. Any of the unsubs that didn't go after children.There isn't a number for where Rossi belongs because he didn't make it on my list. Sorry, but I did give him a chance. I liked him at first. It seemed that he was going to make a good addition to the team. But as time went on, I really didn't like his "all about me" attitude. He's supposed to be this legendary profiler, but he has absolutely no insight on anyone on the team.

1) Morgan 2) Garcia 3) Ried 4) Rossi5) Prentiss 6) JJ 7) Hotch6 & 7 was a toss up.

Wow, this is really interesting. I appreciate the many explanations as well. Ok, here's my listing:1. Hotch, he personifies the FBI and integrity to me (and of course is the most handsome one to me)2. Garcia, she makes me smile everytime she's on3. Rossi, didn't like him at first (for reasons already named above) but he's impressed me lately. Very consistent in performance, has grown into a team-player, precise, stable, and the best support for Hotch (and Morgan too), believable as a profiler.4. Morgan, I love his passion and his physique is gorgeous. Very cute with Garcia5. Prentiss, she also believable as an FBI agent6. Reid, he's very amusing and cute but not that believable as an agent. Sorry, but he would have never made it through the academy. He could be a consultant though anytime.7. JJ, I don't dislike her at all but she appears to young to be on that kind of team. I like her interactions with Hotch and she's very cute.

JJ is older than Reid, and very mature for her age (she is supposedly only a couple years younger that Morgan, maybe 4 or 5).

1. Reid2. Morgan and Garcia3. Hotch and Emily4. JJ (don't dislike her, just like the other characters more)5. Rossi (ew...)

I'm watching the episodes of S3 that I missed and I'm actually starting to like Rossi more and more. I don't dislike any of the team I just like some more than others. Rossi used to be the only one I could say I didn't like.

1. Morgan (If anyone has to ask why he's number one, they need to be backfisted across the face--he is purely candy for the eyes.)2. Garcia (She reminds me of Abby, my favorite character on NCIS.)3. Reid (He techno-geek-speak cracks me up.)4. JJ (Um...I really don't have a reason for this one.)5. Emily (Um...same here.)6. Hotch (I wish to punch him. He annoys me.)7. Rossi (Um...same here.)

1) Emily and Elle both go here - I loved both of them. When Elle was still on, she was the coolest among all and when she left, I thought that the serie was also going lame and Emily seemed lame, but I began to like her later They are awesome 2) Reid. He is genius and he always make me laugh (or smirk at least). He's the twilight and I love the random (or relevant) facts he just pops into the discussions. He'd be on top, I considered that, but still a solid second. Actually, I love the friendships Reid had/has with the girls Very cute.3) Garcia I don't think she need a strong comment but hey......if all analycists could be so bubbly 4) Gideon and Hotch. They are very cool mysterious guys. I liked the fact they were randomly chatting sometimes...friends. I wish Hotch was a bit less depressing. 5) JJ. She's wise and sometimes I really like her, when she's bubbly, you know, or supporting. I sometimes find her strange though. But a solid fifth (would be even further up but the last episodes, she's been a....bleeh....since her relationship with Will got some base)6) Morgan and Rossi. The reason they are the lowest is because I'm just more fond of the others. Morgan sometimes makes really weird jokes and many times I've thought he takes the others with sarcasm, even though there's no reason for that. And sometimes the things he says to Garcia go beyond acceptable worktime dialogue.....they're not even a couple! But to be honest, sometimes he's also cool.Rossi is a bit weird and when he came (sometimes even still noticed), he's a bit mean or ironic to the other team members. Not very respectable towards his colleagues. But once in a while he's nice though too.Yay =) =)

I think it would be interesting for Hotch's brother Sean to make a return appearance on the show. I'm surprised they didn't think of it when the team was in New York, since that is where he is supposed to be.

It is possible that they did think of it, and that the guy who played Sean either didn't want to do it or was busy with a part for another job.

I think it would have been difficult to fit Sean in. It's not like there was time to hold Hotch's hand in the hospital ... or discuss Hotch's background. Everything was pretty much under lock-down and as it was said "we are at war." I do hope to see more of Sean in future episodes, not that he struck me as an interesting character but the interaction between the brothers may shed some more light on Hotch's upbringing.

Good point. It wasn't like Hotch was in the hospital bed long anyway, he seemed to wake up relatively quickly and then got right back to work. And you are right, it was on lock-down so they would not let Sean in. If Sean heard the news, though, he could visit Hotch in his office. On a side note, I noticed on the jet in the last episode that Rossi was standing and JJ was sitting on her knees (so that she could look over the seat). This might sound stupid, but aren't you supposed to sit down when flying on a jet? I really don't know, since I've never flown, but it seems like that would be highly suggested.
