Criminal Minds season 12, WTF!!!
I didn't have much hope for season 12. With Moore's departure last season, I had very low expectations for this season. Even worse was the addition of Rodriguez, who I didn't like in CSI Miami so I didn't expect to like him here. Season premiere made me just hate him. Of course then I heard what happened with Gibson and I was just done. Already last season we had no chemistry with Tyler, who I really liked and thought would be a great addition to the show, but no, she was just bland and boring. So we now had two very bad and boring characters, Gibson leaves with a very stupid exit storyline and Prewster, as much as I loved her could not ever fill in Gibson's shoes. Then of course, because for some reason someone at CBS decided that they needed more, I guess diversity? I have no idea but added Gupton, another actor that I liked but is simply terrible in the show. I don't know if this is simply due to bad directing, writing, acting or all of the above but it's just so bad it's unwatchable. Add this new storyline with Gubler and I am just done. Not only do we not see any connection between Reid and JJ, who are like siblings, nor with Rossi, who had become this wonderful uncle/mentor relationship in the team and now is so absent he might as well be replaced with a cardboard cutout for all the difference he has in any scene. I honestly no longer recognize my show. When Prewster was fired along with Cook, I just stopped watching but came back when the news that they were returned was announced. Then Prewster left and I thought, okay, it's going to be over, but surprisingly, despite the stupid, stupid storyline, Alex Blake was fantastic. Then she too left and they replaced her with, *throws up in mouth*, Jennifer Love Hewitt, ugh!!! I barely watched. Again, I gave it another show with Tyler but while she was okay, she was also so boring I was hoping either she would be replaced or her character develop some, well, personality.
I am deeply disappointed in my show. I honestly have only skimmed a few episodes after learning about Gibson but I am done. This is not my show. There is nothing here that I can watch and recognize as the characters that I fell in love with. I don't know what happened. Who took over CBS or as the executive producer for the show, or show runner has murdered the show beyond any hope of salvaging it. So I say this to another one of my favorite shows that has become a poor imitation of what it used to be: goodbye, so long, see you never and ciao! Parting is not sweet sorrow.
