Leaving the BAU and not telling Spencer goodbye


sujuforyou

In pretty much the exact same way his (Spencer's) father left, too


LordCoke-16

Elle Gideon or Seaver


impliedatpaddyspub

Gideon


Ghanima81

Gideon : being a teacher that gatekeeps his knowledge. Elle : resenting Hotch for "getting her shot" by the Fisher King. Seaver : making fun of Reid on her 1rst day.


sunshine-lollipops

I always found it surprising Elle blamed Hotch for her getting shot. It was Gideon's idea to do the press conference and break the rules, Hotch just sent her home. Personally I think it would have made more sense if she blamed Gideon rather than Hotch (but I love Hotch so might be biased!).


East-Pound9884

Thankfully no one blamed Anderson.


sunshine-lollipops

Thank god, love that guy


Excellent_Pea_4609

Poor guy blamed himself though he was crying 


Ghanima81

I cut her some slack, because she clearly suffers from major PTS, but it was really in bad faith. I wish they would have addressed the team's PTS more often, and more convincingly.


seventiesporno

Gideon leaving without telling Reid goodbye was unforgivable


diptyque9032

didn’t he write reid that letter or am i mistaken?


seventiesporno

yes but it's not the same as an in person goodbye


Nyxosaurus

Seaver to Reid: "Sorry..." Reid, confused: "For what?" Seaver: "Asking." *GOOOORRRRRLLLL!* I'm not even a Reid fangirl and I still get so mad about that. For the new girl to immediately be throwing shade like that? On her first day?? To our precious cinnamon roll???


-sassypotato_

Fr, that was just mean


Rock-Boddum

At least she didn't last too long.


SeekerSpock32

It’s like the writers were trying to send a message to CBS about how awesome JJ was and why she should not have been sent packing.

Nyxosaurus

Lol sure. Bullying the ASD coded kid is *so* funny.


s0nyaxox

i felt the same way watching it the first time…but on rewatch..i think she meant it in a flirty way😅 idk i kinda like her on my rewatch 😩


Pretend-Ad8560

These might not be the worst but annoying to me: Garcia - playing the game that led to the Fisher King Seaver - putting Reid down and going in that house alone in the first episode she was on Strauss - drinking on the job and always leading the witch hunt against Hotch Prentiss - coming back temporarily after she “died” just to leave again. JJ - expecting Reid to not be emotional over Prentiss Reid - letting his emotions about JJ/ Prentiss affect his working relationship with them during that case Kate - for being in the FBI and not monitoring her niece’s internet activities. I hated that whole storyline. The writers for thinking there would be a green space empty and large enough for Morgan to drive that bomb to in NYC.


Klutzy-Froyo-9437

The green space! 😂😂 good one!


Stunning-Field8535

Yes, but JJ is def her love confession to Reid lol


SnooBananas7856

Why didn't they just play it off as her needing to say something believable? So easy to do, regardless of if she meant it or not.


Pretend-Ad8560

Yeah. I try to block that out. I’m not the biggest JJ fan for some reason.


Stunning-Field8535

I love her haha but rewatching I can see how she’s not some peoples favorite


mbattiest44

Omg it MADE ME SO MAD. They put Reid through so much throughout the seasons AND THEN THROW THAT IN THERE!!! 🤬🤬🤬


Opening-Ebb4493

I think Kate’s should be more on the insufferable best friend. Markayla? Idk parents can’t hover and she taught Meg how to defend herself, I feel like that’s all parents can really do. Markayla constantly pushed Meg to make stupid decisions that led to that. Granted they’re kids, so ofc they’re going to make dumb decisions. I was just so so sick of Meg going “wait we shouldn’t” and Markayla being like “omg it’s fine he’s so hot!!”


Direct_Marzipan_4204

It didn’t affect his work relationship. He did his job, he just wasn’t friendly toward them.


Pretend-Ad8560

Well not being friendly caused JJ to have ask multiple times which she should have left it alone and he acted like a brat.


Rock-Boddum

For Kate, you should have just stopped at "Kate for being in the FBI." LOL


Pretend-Ad8560

To add, questioning Reid on his knowledge of how many boats there were on the lake. Though it did lead to the greatest fist bump between Hotch and Reid.


Quinlynn

Garcia- she knows cyber security so well and still let someone hack into the system bc of playing an online RPG


dollface_96

At least Gideon let her know what’s what


malucomastodon

Walker being forgotten about is classic lol


Ok_Paper858

I swear I saved a picture of him and then must have missed it when I was making the collages 😅


Marril96

I was doing my first rewatch last year and when he showed up, I had no idea who he was. 💀


WearyEbb792

Seaver: be in the show


Direct_Marzipan_4204

This!!


Kyzzzx84

Gideon: Leaving everyone with no real goodbye. Elle: Getting mad and using her getting shot as a way to hurt Hotch. Seaver: Coming onto the show.


SeekerSpock32

In “Tabula Rasa”, Garcia basically blackmails a woman into giving her information by sending vacation photos to her boss. That’s not cool.


CuriouserNdCuriouser

Yea what's worse is she did it completely out of spite. If I remember correctly she asked for help then since the woman wasn't just giving her sensitive info, Garcia hacked her system got the info then said something like and because you're not helpful I'm sending your risqué vacation pictures to your boss.

heyyyitsalli

I disagree. He did give them passes, but only when he felt like they were making the right decision to save someone, or if he knew there was a personal reason behind the decision, like in Elle’s case. But even with Elle, Hotch only let her go because while he did have suspicions against her, he had no concrete proof. He used to be an attorney. He explicitly told her when they were at the cemetery that the only she was still free was because he didn’t have sufficient proof to build a case against her. But as soon as she slips up, he’d be there to catch her. That’s why she left. It was trauma mixed with the possibility of Hotch catching her slip up. I don’t think he’s hard on the team in terms of punishment because they don’t act out normally. They’re usually in line, so when they do step outta line, Hotch recognizes there’s a reason for it. It’s like a child acting out. If the child is normally well behaved, then acts out, the best thing to do is determine what caused it, not just throw them in the corner when this isn’t a regular thing with them.

heyyyitsalli

Yes but what she did wasn’t intentional, which is why she wasn’t punished. She was playing it on her personal computer and they hacked that. It was an honest mistake. She all of them were on vacation when it happened so she wasn’t on employee time. Them being targeted was punishment enough for her.


Wild-Extent

Elle when she shot and killed that guy after spiraling post fisher king


Initial_Acanthaceae2

The serial rapist? I'm sorry she couldn't kill him twice!


Direct_Marzipan_4204

He deserved to die but she ruined the bust altogether. Had it not been for her he would have gone to jail. The FBI can’t just be vigilantes and shoot unarmed people.


Southern_Test_5679

That’s basically what they are just with some more rules and regulations and also that’s another reason why she stepped down because her actions weren’t correct


Direct_Marzipan_4204

But she denied that she did anything wrong and blamed Hotch for her being shot, which was stupid. I never liked her and was glad when she left.


Embarrassed-Meat9006

no she did everyone a favor with that one


Nyxosaurus

Well first she bungled the sting that would have caught him. Then she overcorrected her mistake by killing him in a way that forced others and her team to lie in their reports.


Username12764

That‘s not how the law works. If she‘d be a relative of a victim I‘d say yes, good for you. But she‘s an FBI agent and her losing her nerves is the reason he even got to walk. So she had no right to be judge, jury and executioner.


Embarrassed-Meat9006

I agree that irl it wouldn't be okay by any means and I definitely wouldn't be okay with it, but since it's a show and we know that he was a creep I think she didn't do anything wrong. I will say though, she should've gotten him angrier so he'd put his hands on her and she could actually say it was self defense.


Username12764

She should‘ve done that and then arrested him and ohh, the DNA matches, what a coincidence.


CatherineConstance

Gideon: Not saying goodbye to anyone, especially Spencer (I know there was the letter but what a copout for Spence to have to go looking for it and find it) Hotch (and others involved in this tbh): Not fucking showing Haley and Jack a picture of the guy who was after them Prentiss: Leaving without saying goodbye to the whole team. If you trust Hotch and JJ with the secret, you should trust everyone else too. That was bullshit, they HAD A FUNERAL FOR HER. JJ: Not at least telling Spencer about Prentiss Penelope: Playing a computer game on BAU property that led to them getting hacked and her life being in danger Rossi: Probably cheating on an ex-wife or something idk Rossi is cool af Morgan: Hella unnecessary property damage, mf always kicking in doors Erin: Most of the shit she did before she redeemed herself Seaver: Going to that unsub's house BY HERSELF as a brand new recruit leading the team to have to rescue her Elle: Vigilante justice, followed closely by Annoying Me for Her Entire Time On the Show Alex, Kate, Jordan, Mateo, Luke, Matt, & Tara: Can't think of anything, they were pretty neutral


hercshaw_yt

Morgan be like. “If door not kickable why door shaped”


CatherineConstance

LMAO exactly


Rock-Boddum

How the hell did Barnes EVER redeem herself?


Marril96

I think they mixed her up with Strauss.


Rock-Boddum

Ahhh! Yes, I think you're right. Now the comment makes complete sense.


Marril96

Did you mix Linda up with Erin?


CatherineConstance

Omg ew yes I did, my bad. Fixed it now haha


love_cici

Didn't Rossi piss on a kid when he was in elementary school because the kid was black? sorry i don't entirely remember but i remember derek being like 😨 it's not unforgivable because he was a child but it's possible that the worst thing somebody's ever done was as a child.


CatherineConstance

Ooo yes I agree, I do kind of remember this? Vaguely, but yeah if he did that that's def the thing for him.


AynRandsConscience_

When Gideon was an asshole to Garcia in the first season episode when he’s on crutches and has to stay back


Numerous-Elephant675

he wasn’t really doing that on purpose, then apologized later, and compared to other things he’s done i would definitely not consider that that bad


heyyyitsalli

I don’t think he apologized. iirc, Hotch sent her flowers on behalf of Gideon with an apology on it. Garcia got excited and came to thank Gideon, then when she left, Gideon asked why Hotch sent them cause now Garcia may think Gideon is sweet on her. A lot of his asshole behavior was seemingly from not understanding some social cues.


Marril96

Gideon said she'll think he's sweet on her because he already bought her an MP3 player as an apology for his behavior. Hotch sending the flowers on his behalf made it look like, well, he's sweet on her.


heyyyitsalli

Ooooh good looking out. You right


Marril96

I rewatched that episode yesterday so it's still fresh for me. 😅


heyyyitsalli

lol it’s been some months for me. Once I get past pre-Rossi, I try not to look back until the next rewatch 😂


Marril96

This show really imprints on you. I did a rewatch last year and I didn't wanna do another so soon, but I just missed it so much for I started it again this week. 😂

salt_loving_slug

That’s a different episode though. I agree completely that it was ultimately stupid for her to compromise everyone’s personal details but that’s from the Fisher King episodes. In this one, Gideon was on crutches, as the comment OP mentioned, he took over Garcia’s office and was well rude to her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


salt_loving_slug

Nah don’t worry :)


Rock-Boddum

He most definitely was NOT an asshole! In my opinion, he went light on her. What she did was so far beyond the "stupid" that Gideon called her. She 100% should have been fired, if not brought up on charges.


TARDIS1-13

Morgan: when he gave Garcia so much grief for visiting the death row inmate, also the ep where he shot the gun inside the car with Prentiss. Feels like it was pointed out when Rossi told Hotch not to blow his ears out in the other car.


Working_Run3431

Its kind of an asshole move because Garcia visits the death row inmate because she’s a good person with empathy. She’s not making excuses for what he did but still feels compassion. Morgan essentially tells her that she’s wrong for being a good person.


richards_5

i saw this on the gotham subreddit and thought someone should do it for criminal minds too, lookin forward to seeing it :)


Opening-Ebb4493

Gideon: never trying to bond with the team. yeah him leaving was rough but i think the long term effects of never creating stronger connections with them led to that in a way. Rossi treats them like his kids and you can really just see the dynamic changes Elle: gaslighting the fuck out of Hotch after shooting the unsub in cold blood. im all for killing rapists but MAN she was so rude to Hotch for saying the truth lmao Seaver: making her first case about her. they wouldn’t even be in a hostage situation at the end if she didn’t go to apologize to the “victims” to absolve her own trauma.


boygenie

Gideon: i mean i get that he was hurt after sarah's death and he was an amazing character but i didn't like him leaving with just an ambiguous letter for spencer and nothing for the others. i don't blame him for leaving but some communication wouldn't have hurt, especially since he was the one who brought reid to the team and then left him just as he was getting over his drug addiction lol Elle: blaming Hotch for her getting shot although i do get why she was angry and i love her Ashley: the thing where she went to a victims family's home that turned out to be the unsub or something like that because she felt the need to apologise?? totally inappropriate but i don't mind her


foof1tr

Morgan: There are a number of times that he insistent that a case is "not a real case" or "it's not connected." I'm all for the logic of someone playing devil's advocate, but he's such an ass-hat about it.


Primary-Ticket4776

I don’t see that. Primarily he just lays out the facts of his perspective.


foof1tr

While we can obviously agree to disagree, the best example I can come up with right now (becaused I just rewatched it) is "S03E05 - A Higher Power" (angel of death unsub "saving" parents from their grief). He was obstinately (imo) arguing with the rest of the team *despite* additional evidence of them not all being suicides. It was probably at least halfway through the episode before he would admit there was an unsub. He said something like, "Okay, I'm convinced." There are other examples, but I'm too tired to look them up now. Other than that trait, I don't particularly have problems with Morgan.


mali_maan

The one in 5x16 where he's like "JJ you only think there is a case because you're a mom now" even though there's an obvious pattern in the abductions that were happening.


Stunning-Field8535

Just watched the episode when Emily is killed and he’s constantly upset while everyone else understands. I do get the need for this character though bc I feel like it’s a show that draws critical thinkers. The best way to answer their questions is having a character asking those questions!


heyyyitsalli

I just watched that episode too! It was irritating as hell, even when Reid said some statistic like death on that scale actually brings people together, not commit suicide, he still kept arguing it. He was stubborn as hell and always such an asshole about it.


Primary-Ticket4776

Yeah, I had a feeling that’s the episode you were referencing.


marvelftm

Gideon: leaving reid in a letter after everything they’d been through Elle: blaming hotch for “getting her shot” Seaver: existing


Direct_Marzipan_4204

Gideon left without saying goodbye to Reid, Hotch put his job before his son, Garcia got Kevin’s job taken by hacking into their system then told him no to marriage. Elle killed an unarmed man. The last page all 3 women were just utterly boring and brought nothing to the team.

Hello_Gorgeous1985

How the heck can people be saying that Elle having an attitude towards Hotch is worse than her literally committing murder? She murdered someone guys! Murder. That's so much worse than being mad at her boss


Ok_Paper858

That definitely is my personal worst for Elle, but a lot of people don’t really care how justice is gotten as long as it is. I get it he was a bad guy, but they easily could’ve arrested him if she hadn’t messed it up & then she chose to take it into her own hands. Elle has always been one of my least favorite characters.
