Rant - JJ, Criminal Minds, stupid people!
I just need to rant for a little while, express my anger in some way (wish I had krav maga today instead of tomorrow!) and then I'll leave quietly. Sound like a plan?
Ok.
WHY THE HECK did they make JJ leave??
Now I knew it was going to happen before, I'd read the spoilers, but still. It makes me really pissed to see that they're making someone leave - not just a good member of the BAU team but a good actress who -as far as I know- has made some great friends on the CM set and is happy to work there- and I just wonder why.
CM is not gonna be the same now. I mean, I wasn't a huge fan of her (I didn't dislike her or anything, not at all, though) but this just sucks. Take Elle away, fine, she was only there for one season and she wasn't even that attached to the team. Gideon, ok, weird, but I've survived. But JJ... one of the only female characters which this show needs desperately (and on a related note: reducing Paget's screen time, what the hell are they trying to do? They had this amazing thing going, proving (as far as you can in a TV show) that women in law enforcement -who are still confronted with prejudices- can kick ass just as well, and now they're reducing one female member and completely taking the other away! WHAT.THE.HELL?!)
UGH. I 'm sure there was a good reason, or multiple reasons, for making AJ Cook go (because it wasn't her decision). I don't know those reasons, though, and I'm entitled to get angry. Seriously.
OK, I realize I may be exaggerating a little bit due to the kind of emotional ending of this episode... but. why??
God. TV shows should not have this kind of influence on me! xD
I do feel a bit better now though.
