I don't even watch this show, but that really fucking sucks. :(

IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY.

RAAAAAAAAGE.

I am right there with your rage. It's sexist, it's horrifying, and it's BULLSHIT.

Of ALL the show to do this to. OF ALL THE SHOWS.

What I can't get over is the fact this is happening to Criminal Minds. I thought the strong female presence was on purpose. Now I'm wondering if it just happened by accident, or coincidence of good casting, since they seem so willing to cut it.

Well, there's CBS, and then there's the showrunners, and it's CBS with its head up its ass.

... WHAT?

*insert primal scream here*

If it were any other show I don't think I'd be quite so surprised, but seriously? CM? SERIOUSLY? This is not the kind of crap I've come to expect, and while I agree that I haven't been as enchanted with the show as I used to be, but seriously? It just pisses me off beyond all reason that the first thing the network would think to do, when finances become an issue, is remove the women. Damned strong women, too. ARGH.

I don't want the show to fail, and yet it'd also be kinda gratifying if their ratings went into the crapper after this. But yeah, like you said, TPTB would just end up attributing that to something else.
RARGH. I've been saving up eps to watch when I have the inclination, but I think that inclination just went out the window. Urgh. Fucking networks.

ALSO. HEY. HERE'S AN IDEA. FUCK THE SPIN-OFF AND KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL SERIES CAST INSTEAD.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

I think I kinda take back my reluctance for the show to fail, because I'd rather have no show than a shitty show, than a show that descends in quality for losing two integral pieces of what makes it great. And fuck yes, they have money to do a spin-off, but not to keep two talented and beautiful women on cast? On a show that's always been SO consistent in ratings, with a loyal fanbase?

Fuck you, CBS. Fuck you HARD.

wait, who are they getting rid of?! Not Garcia!

angstbunny June 16 2010, 20:15:49 UTC

JJ is said to be gone, with Prentiss in a reduced role. Garcia seems safe, for now.

foolish_m0rtal June 16 2010, 22:22:50 UTC

Noooooo
