Hopes for Season 13


For season 13 I hope they down size a bit. Tara, Luke or Walker - we don't need all 3. I'd be fine if just Luke would stay because he's the only character that they've "build" something with. Tara and Walker are both very boring. Rossi, JJ, Reid, Prentiss, Garcia < honestly I'd be fine with just these five.

Since Reid got a bucket of salt this season, I would hope they'd only give him - case episode storylines, where he takes the lead. If anything that's the only type of "personal" storylines we should get. I'm sure we'll be updated with his mom and then he may have bad memories from prison. I doubt MGG will leave, but ya never know.

Prentiss needs something. We haven't seen her go through any "challenges" like Hotchner did as a boss or give her a nemesis since Doyle was 5 years ago. She really needs a story.

Garcia - I don't want another Black Queen episode, but is it just me or has her "hacking skills" been back seated? Maybe it's me because I'm watching old school Criminal Minds, but they haven't USED her (skills) honestly in awhile. She's been mopey and whiny more than she's been witty.

They always have Rossi come off as this awesome profiler, but he's been set aside. He had that one episode Profiling 201 was it? And it wasn't ROSSI IMO.

JJ - many people complain about her and refer to her as a Mary Sue, but if that was true wouldn't she be the one with all the stories? Not since Sick Day, boring as it was.

Overall, this team needs to build chemistry, because they lost that and they need it. Have them care for one another like they used to.

I know they won't but I would really like to see Criminal Minds go back to their old roots and not show us 30 minutes time of the killer doing what he/she does and then 12 minutes of the team discussing the same "pattern" they do in every episode. More of the team solving a mystery, I mean come on, how hard is that to do?
