Criminal Minds: The funny Dr Spencer Reid - season 1 part 1

[@imreallybored9361]

Gideon sees Reid as a son, like the way he looks at Reid when he starts rambling. Or how he plays chess with him and gives him advise and sometimes huge pushed to help him

[@caydenceriley4309]

Or like in season 2 with the bombing episode and he takes him to buy a book and has to tell him to buckle his belt🤣

[@scarlett7702]

also im pretty sure gideons son is only a year older than reid so that’s probably another reason

[@codyboothe2310]

Another reason is because he sees reid as his intellectual equal. They are pretty smart especially since they both play chess

[@unity1016]

I miss the 2 of them. I loved the smile from Gideon after talking with Reid. I basically quit watching after Gideon left.

Unlikely. Knowing Gideon, he just called the Washington general manager and the guy hooked him up in gratitude for some time in the past when Guidon saved his life or something.

[@TheJustAamir]

It's amazing how you can build a genius character like Dr. Reid with compassion and empathy without making him a jerk like Sheldon Cooper ❤️❤️

[@ChaosAngel667]

Reid is socially awkward, Sheldon is a narcisist.

[@tbow7785]

Reid’s mom was also a genius. Even though she had schizophrenia and then dementia too! My point is Reid had someone around him to challenge him intellectually as well as being a nurturing mother! Sheldon was essentially alone with his intelligence though his mom was as nurturing as she could be with him. Plus Sheldon had a lot more social etiquette issues than Reid did.

[@dan2007kohn]

One’s in a crime show, they other is played for laughs. No reason to compare them

[@onechaoticneutral3061]

As an autistic person I really love how Spencer is portrayed in comparison to Sheldon. It feels like they did actual research on it and incorporated it into a character without making it define him or become a misrepresentative stereotype. I mean ofcourse few autistic people are geniuses of his level, but I mostly found his speech pattern, social que issues, body language and mannerism relatable. As well as the fact that one of my fixations for a few years was learning obscure facts and having little control over infodumping about it when it was mentioned, much like he does. But I think that more of a specific thing than a general experience. I really appreciate that they portray him as a kind and empathetic character despite his difficulty with social interaction, which is quite a break from the 'smart autistic = low empathy = asshole' takes that you see on so many shows, which is often blown out of proportion for stereotypes and while it represents some autistic people, many people don't know that a lot of autistic people can have too high empathy that causes them to feel more compassionately for others than would be normal, even if they have trouble with sympathizing socially (in my case I have fluctuating empathy, usually high but sometimes abnormally low and I can't do anything about it) it also probably feeds into the strong sense of justice, right and wrong, etc, which is very common in people on the spectrum, and could lead to that kind of job. Another thing I noticed is that even the way he walks is the same as me, as he'll often hold his hands together which is a common thing. Sorry for the whole ass essay 3 years after you comment, I just finished season 1 of this show and I'm really quite surprised to find such an accurate and inoffensive depiction of an autistic character in a show from fricking 2005.

[@NatSan031]

Camilla Colucci because the writers just forgot about then write JJ with Will. Not till the last season when JJ told Reid she loves him. It’s so annoying

[@sherryhull8135]

@@camillacolucci7576 In the last season when Reid is in surgery JJ tells Prentis about the "date". She didn't know it was a date and that Gideon was involved. She thought "BAU" we do things together" so she invites Garcia too. So no date. Yes I was so disappointed/pissed when they hooked JJ up with Will. It was a cheap shot. I like the actor who played Will but not in this show. It was a crappy and poorly written ending they wrote for Reid. That was way too fast. Same with the endings for Garcia and Prentis. They both would have been a better match for Reid and would make more sence. They wouldn't be coworkers anymore either. Why was Garcia and Luke OK instead. Garcia with newby when she and Reid are soul mates? Reid and Prentis would be perfect too plus they are close friends in real life. I miss seeing MGG period. I bought all 14 1/2 seasons. FYE still doesn't have season 5. Since I bought them in the last month. I'm on my THIRD TIME WATCHING THEM. I'm watching it now. Season 1 about a mentaly ill man killing little boys. His mother a well to do "Sweetbryer" girl. I forgot how Elle was.
