Paget Brewster shows her true colors

Last night on Twitter Paget Brewster made one of the most jealous and petty comments when Julia Louise Dreyfus won her Emmy....

I'm not trying to be a a bitch and I bet Julia Louise Dreyfuss is lovely but after your 3rd Emmy maybe let someone else win one ?

I think this show's the caliber of Paget's character. There's nothing there that even remotely comes across as being 'funny' or 'silly'... it comes across as Jealous and Petty loud and clear though.

She's always been a bitch. So I'm not surprised at her comments and why people should be surprised as well. Her coming back this year doesn't make me want to watch. She's never been my favorite. To me she will always remembered as the chick who got Gibson fired from the show.

Erica wants to take this show to Charlie Angel's territory and that's fine by me, to each their own, but I'm not going to watch this disaster unfold from the start. Hotch, Morgan, Reid and Rossi have always been my favorite characters, but with the two of them gone, I'm out!

Um, no, that would be Erica Messer and her puppet Virgil Williams.

NO HOTCH, NO WATCH.
Someone made a 'mess'

Oh no, I agree she did not directly get Gibson fired. I was speaking metaphorically. But you can't deny the events that transpired to his firing had a lot to do with PB.

Her show gets axed on Fox, so how do you convince her to come back full time? Throw Gibson into the Lion's Den, a.k.a, Virgil Williams! Gibson fired, Paget back full-time and Erica has her wet dream come true!

PB's return for a few episodes was announced a month before Gibson was fired. Your sequence of evevnts is out. PB had nothing to do with it. Besides, seeing how she was treated I can see PB being happy to come back periodically, but never full time. I thhink she likes filming with her friends, but working for the producers and studio that treated her like crap? Nah, that I'd imagine she can do without

Paget is back full time now

Mark me corrected, timeline is still wrong though, she was coming back before Gibson was fired and bringing her back full time is really the only option they've got that the audience will like - the audience has reacted pretty poorly to every new agent brought it because the dynamic has just been ruined, but with Paget, the dynamic is already in place, they don't have to waste time with intro-ing a new character (which they're super weak at, the writers do that very poorly) and they know the audience like her, especially after a lot of people were unhappy that Gibson went from suspended to fired.

I'm genuinely surprised she returned full time. I'm delighted they're replacing Gibson with someone known as opposed to the revolving door of agents that never seem tto hit it off, but I'm not convinced how well it'll do without Hotch. I'll be happy to be wrong, but while Gibson has never been a specific reason I watch, I did appreciate the stolid backing Hotch provided for his team. with the way Criminal Minds either can't hold onto cast, treats them like crap or just makes terrible cast decisions (at least Blake was just beige-blah but Callahan was awful) having Paget back is probably their best bet. Replacing two members of the team with new people might have been too much and that sort of cast upset has ended shows before

Surprised or not, you had to see it coming from a mile away as soon they announced that she would guest star for a "couple" of episodes, before the Gibson firing. They wanted to force Gibson out, no matter what the cost, to bring her in as UC of the BAU. Anything less than the UC would destroy her credibility with the show, since they announced her departure from the show at the finale of the 7th Season by saying her character would run the Interpol Office at London.

Not to mention that she herself had to remain mute about the announcement afterwards. The line in sand was drawn for Gibson once they made the "special guest" announcement would be Paget for a couple of episodes.

I'm genuinely surprised she returned full time.

Then you must be living under a rock. Like I said before, I hate this bitch. I hope she falls of a cliff or something.
