Hotchner is incredible, I wish he was with the show. I miss him

[@NightFuryLover31]

"If you think you can find a better person for the team, then good luck." The only one that ever replaced Hotch, was already on the team. And Prentiss does a damn good job. Not just because she's an excellent profiler, but because, like Hotch, she knows this team.

I’m sorry she was no hitch it was kinda boring

I agree, I liked Emily but she didn't give Boss Lady vibs. Garcia did towards the end especially that episode where she was training hackers 🤣🤣

[@Cin8914]

I love the court scene so much. Not only was that attorney dealing with a former attorney, but also and more importantly, a fantastic profiler. He was not prepared when he challenged Hotch, and what a stupid mistake he made 😂. I love Hotch. He is/was the best character.

[@neriwest3161]

I started watching the show for Reid but along the way Hotch wormed his way into my heart. And I stopped watching when Hotch departed. It was never the same for me.

[@jamiespagnola7273]

Hotch was always my favorite

Meanwhile Strauss is an ineffective boss who sadly is a drunkard and later gets killed by The Replicator.

I prefer her being an ineffective boss than Barnes dismantling the BAU

@@gillesnotard69 Well, Barnes got hers in the end.

[@PiyachonYuenyongHYDE]

[@martinlopez2816]

A failure as an FBI boss and a failure as an mother. That's sad, I forgot how tragic Strauss was as a character, I now feel pretty bad for her 😢😭

[@suzannerust8658]

She got sober at one point though before the Replicator got her

[@joanwood9480]

Always felt that Hotch/Thomas Gibson never got to smile enough. He should have just been given a hiatus for a season and then brought back. The other instigator should have also been given hiatus. Hotch was the best unit chief. Emily's good but Hotch was the best

[@theblueboxtardis]

Damn Hotch gave it to her good 😂 0:26 - 0:45

[@missirene8264]

I was waiting for the "wise decision" comment from the judge at the end....cracks me up every time 🤣

Don't think I didn't see those DBZ figurines in Garcia's office. >:D

[@leilam5618]

I love hotch, he is on the ball that’s why he is kept in the field!

[@rockysquirrel4776]

As usual, the armchair quarterback is the most useless person in the room.

[@danielhaire6677]

Worse than that. At this point, Strauss was concerned more about politicking and climbing the rungs of the FBI. While good advertising for her, she considered the talent of Hotchner and others a potential threat if they ever seemed to be poised to overshadow her.

[@missirene8264]

Hotch in beast mode!

[@PhatBoyFresh]

The first 2 seasons of this show are just so good. It was a great shame when Gideon left, and once Hotch did I was done.

[@johnblais2065]

Great show

[@kelli217]

Hotch was also way too tightly wound, and it was a reflection of Thomas Gibson’s actual personality… they eventually would have had to have an episode where Hotch just snapped, but Tom beat them to it by having his own meltdown.

[@TimedRevolver]

Not entirely fair. While Thomas Gibson was wound tight, from what I've been able to gather, he was dealing with an openly hostile member of the crew who treated others like utter shit. And Thomas decided he'd had entirely too much of that, so he did something about it. And something minor, at that. He could have beat the hell out of the guy, but instead just kicked him in the leg.

[@HerrFrutex]

@@TimedRevolver exactly. The actual villian was kept on set. Thomas Gibson was the one who had to take the bullet.

[@HerrFrutex]

@inherblues7261 Virgil Williams and he has a history of treating people bad but seems to be unpunishable.

[@flakeycrustduster]

He needs some of that Dharma and Greg energy

[@celeryg66]

ugh, you have no fucking idea about Gibson's personality, you ignorant heifer! as none of know the reason for his leaving the show! shut your stupid mouth

Nicola Paventi - another of innumerable quality content shares

[@izhamsham843]

This was one of the best shows on TV.. but I started to lose interest when 1) AJ Cook was cut, and 2) Hotch was cut. But besides the great storylines, just watching AJ Cook and Agent Prentiss would be enough for me if they just sat on screen and did crocheting 😊

[@peterreed9566]

We had a profile to profile us. I'd say they were about 10-20% accurate at best and I think I could have achieved close to that u mere guess work.

[@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302]

It's done for TV, and most profiling is not done "on the spot" but rather assembled through weeks and maybe years of analysis depending on the case. The problem with TV shows like criminal minds is it turns profiling into something you can conjure out of the blue like magic when in reality an actual psychological assessment and profile is done through teams and often requires weeks of analysis and significant data points to actually analyze, not just starting at a person and immediately knowing their a degenerate gambling addict lol.
