My favorite Reid moment is when he went to talk to the father of the female unsub that was turning her victims into dolls, and he figured out that she is the way she is because the man molested her then put her through electroshock therapy to make her forget. He said something like: "this is why I love my job, doctor. My lab is a jury of your peers and my test will be your patients, little girls, and see how they react to the toys you gave them when the DA puts them on the stand." It was a truly awesome moment because my boy was pissed.

"I don't know. Maybe." I *love* that moment! How he spends like 13 minutes (because that's how long the Guard's break apparently had left when that started) giving this guy this big explanation of why he is the way he is, letting him know he was basically doomed to become a killer, only to casually tell him he might've been bullshitting him. It leaves him wondering and is just so iconic! Haha

While this whole team had their share of stalkers and serial killers, i believe Reid got dumped on the most. Whatever could go wrong did with him. He was the one that got shot at, kidnapped, lost almost every love interest (not hit girl), and just again, dumped on.

This is great! My #1 pick was the same, when he reveals his contempt for the killer in prison. My other would be his scene with badass actor Michael Ironside acting as a mentor (I didn't watch the show consistently so I don't know if they worked together more) - It's after he's been involuntarily hooked on drugs, and he's doing 12-step meetings but his confidence has been crushed, and the other guy, who's apparently very powerful and well-respected, gives him his own coin from being clean/sober for a year. Spencer: I haven't earned it yet. Ironside: You will. Just the realization that a stranger can see the strength in you, and believe in you that much, makes the scene so great. ...Also the derpy way he holsters his gun, at least in the earlier seasons.

You definitely nailed it with #1. That is, to this day, my all-time Reid moment. Possibly my favorite moment ever.

[@Yagirlkenzie05]

Another episode I really liked was a season 6 episode "The Uncanny valley". When Reid stood up to another doctor, really made him seem badass. My favorite line from was it was when Reid said "You see this is why I love my job Doctor because my lab its a jury of your peers, the DA will put them on the stand and imma personally bring these dolls in and watch how they react"

The episode where Reid finally admitted that he had always loved J.J almost made me quit watching Criminal Minds. I loved both characters but I felt like it was unnecessary for Reid to do that.

If I remember correctly, they said that because an unsub was threatening them

[@emanuellespinelli5904]

@@Tea890 yeah they were hostage

He is definitely the best character, he is a genius with sass

Tolkien and Spencer Reid are the reason for my unrealistic expectations of men, not Disney!

this channel needs more criminal minds content. SUCH A GOOD SHOW

[@adrikapramanick4950]

Please make more videos on Criminal minds! They deserve this!

Spencer Reid is my favorite Criminal Minds character. He loves Star Trek The Orginal Series, he's a Whovian and his favorite Doctor is The Fourth Doctor. Hopefully we'll see Matthew Grey Gruber acting again.

if spencer was a real person i would totally date him

My favorite Ried moment was from season 5 episode 12 I think Uncanny Valley in a scene between him and the guy played Ryker from STG. For the first time that can really remember Ried getting to be a badass and still feel like Ried.

“This is calm and it’s doctor.” Let’s goooooo! He doesn’t really get mad and when he does it’s perfect in the situations.

Spencer is my spirit animal💕

I love Dr. Reid so much, Matthew Gray Gubler did an extremely awesome job. What ever you do, keep up the good work

[@Free_Snooki]

He's so pretty. _💌_

[@kellygal3036]

I love the sibling vibes from Reid and Emily 😂

[@jrubenstein]

Spencer is the best character on Criminal MInds. I didn't know this was ever in dispute.

Thank you for feeding into my criminal minds obsession with Dr. Reid.
