Although the series aired its terminal instalment in February of 2020 , the show had a great mo of success over its 15 season , gaining a large pursual during its 15 - class footrace .
With 324 episode , buff are bound to have opposing views on certain thing and fans took to Reddit to discuss their vox populi that may not apply to the the great unwashed , whether it ’s hatred of Agent Gideon ’s arrogance or irritation due to Morgan and Garcia ’s kinship .
Unsub Was A Terrible Final Boss
Agent Gideon abruptly leave the BAU after time of year 3 due to theactor Mandy Patinkin leaving the showbecause of creative differences . after in season 10 , the BAU finds out that Gideon was killed by an unsub called Donnie Mallick , who Gideon had been attempt to notice on his own . RedditorNatural1foreverfeels that " Gideon ’s Orcinus orca was irksome and unimpressive . Fine unsub concept by itself , but not interested enough to be the unsub [ who ] got Gideon . "
Every so often there is an unsub who act as a " last boss " of sort where it takes longer to catch them , but some consider Donnie Mallick did n’t fit the normal criteria for a concluding boss . Gideon is a very experient profiler so getting outsmarted by an unsub , who did n’t have an impressive skillset or an above - average IQ , is a bit far - fetched .
Haley Was Right
Haley Hotchner was Agent Hotchner ’s wife in the first few seasons of the serial but disassociate him due to the strain of Hotchner ’s job . Many buff did n’t like that Haley left and resent her character for it because they believed that she knew what she was catch into when marrying him .
RedditorCookie_Brookiebelieves that Haley was right to leave Agent Hotchner because " she marry a attorney . I ’m sure she require long hr , but nothing like she ended up with . As noble as Hotch ’s job is , it does n’t make it ok that he give up his sept when his wife recount him what a burden it was . "
JJ Shouldn’t Have Become A Profiler
Jennifer " JJ " Jareau is acquaint as the medium affair for the BAU and fans thought this was a good fit for her grapheme as she was good with people and the media . After spending a short time at the Pentagon , JJ come back to the BAU as a full - time profiler .
While many fans love that JJ was last a full - clock time profiler , RedditorUzuchiha1believes that she should n’t have become one because they " liked her as the spiritualist liaison and [ they ] feel like she ’s so great with masses that [ they ] could see her as this muscular woman " and " profiler JJ was just grim to [ them ] . "
Elle Was A Murderer
In time of year 2,Elle Greenaway leave the BAUdue to PTSD from being shot and because she killed an unsub after he is released from police hands . Elle is never held accountable for this . Many fans support Elle ’s action say it was " vigilante justice " because the unsub was a outlaw .
While many believe that Elle is in the right , RedditorCMStan1313believes that " Elle was a manslayer , spare and round-eyed " and that " the BS excuse for trauma the writers pulled out of their butts render her no justification to blast an unarmed man , scumbag or not . " While the BAU is known for bending the rules slimly to get justice , killing an unarmed submarine is just too far .
Morgan And Garcia’s Relationship Was Uncomfortable
Derek Morgan andPenelope Garcia are have a go at it to have a flirtybut platonic relationship , often being flirty and talk dirty during telephone set calls . Most fans of the show retrieve their pet names and unsporting lecture to be endear and entertaining .
Never Too Early Or Too Late
For the most part , Criminal Mindsepisodes have the same general formulaand the recipe has work well for most lover . The tautness near the end when it comes down to the last arcsecond for the BAU to save the victim is something most buff delight .
RedditorAgent0424doesn’t " like how the team always makes arrests right as the unsub is going through their endgame " and wondered " why are they almost never too other or too later to the scene ? " The pattern may work out for most , but it ’s a routine unrealistic that they would never arrive at the scene at the wrong fourth dimension .
Gideon Was An Awful Team Member
Agent Gideon has many fans that believe he was a dear BAU appendage than David Rossi , who took his billet . rooter often debate who they preferred between the two , but most believe both Gideon and Rossi fit into the squad in their own way .
Not everyone believed that Gideon fit into the BAU team though . Redditoraavvaa21feels that " he did n’t work with the team and had superiority complex over the team . He will do thing ( specifically delivering the visibility ) without even verbalise to the team . Also , the way he treated Garcia in time of year 1 was frightful . " Gideon may have been a good profiler , but he was n’t a large squad player .
The First Season Was Scariest
Criminal Mindsis a show about a team of profilers catching a perverted serial grampus and that can lead it to be a fairly chilling and dark-skinned series , but with 15 time of year the simple formula of episodes needed to have a long - term plot woven in , and many devotee apprise that overarching plot line .
RedditorLadyMurasaki1982doesn’t like everything the series lend to the plot following season one and country that they " favour the initial episodes ’ hopeless , cynical , colder expressive style . There was n’t as much focus on the ridiculous , unhealthy codependent relationship the squad member had with each other . " Sometimes less is more .
Prentiss' Past Is Unrealistic
Agent Emily Prentiss is introduce to the BAU in season 3 , and later on in the series , the audience find out that she used to be a undercover agent for Interpol . Most fan take this history of Prentiss and find the plot line an interesting character background .
Emily ’s past does n’t sit aright with everyone though as Redditorthatweirdoritetherebelieves that the serial ' Maker " made Prentiss a fleck unrealistic because there is no way she was a undercover agent before the BAU because she started young . " It is a bit hard to trust that a younger char like Prentiss was deep undercover for that long , fake her cloak-and-dagger persona ’s death , spent more time with Interpol , and then link up the BAU .
Reid Forgave Emily and JJ Too Quickly
In time of year 6 , Emily Prentiss fakes her own end to escape Doyle and JJ is inform that she is indeed alive , but the rest of the BAU think she is dead . In season 7 Emily reunites with the squad , but Reid take a while to forgive Prentiss and JJ for lie in as he took her death really hard .
Redditora_ravenclawbelieves that Reid forgave Emily and JJ too quickly saying " At the end of 7x2 Emily says ' You mourned the expiration of a acquaintance , but I mourned the loss of six . ' When I first learn this episode I was await for Reid to say ' yeah , but we were n’t dead . ' That line just pee me off so much . She knew her friends were alive . He did n’t know that she was . " Two months of mourning ca n’t be furbish up by one conviction .
