In addition, the show has always implied that Reid suffers from Asperger's Syndrome so mockery like this is even more despicable and absolutely does not show any love. It is sadly indicative of the High School mentality that some of the writers bring to their episodes and just show how far the show has been dumbed down. What kind of message does this give to all the teens who watch the show - that it is OK to mock sensitive, intelligent people who have a disability such as Asperger's? I think if they did this to his face Reid would be very hurt.

And i personally thought the plane scene where rossi and morgan were inpersonating reid was funny because we all know that they love him and im pretty sure if reid was there, then he would laugh too! So i personally dont think that it was an insult to reid. sandra webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807274781804099599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-61904922725583447612015-11-20T02:03:43.819-05:002015-11-20T02:03:43.819-05:00don't enjoy this episode, Too much Tara and JJ...don't enjoy this episode, Too much Tara and JJ not enought Hotch and Garcia, i miss Reid but he wasn't the pricipal problem for me.

He does direct episodes like Joe Mantegna and Thomas Gibson. <br /><br />Third, if Matthew was to leave CM sure he could still direct episodes, was done on a CBS show call the Good Wife when actor Josh Charles left and came back a few months later to direct an episode.<br /><br />and yes iimitation is a form of flattery but somehow for me it didn't sound as flaterry but mockery.

I agree with the other commenters. What will it take for the showrunner and writers to understand that they condone bullying, mean girl behavior, backstabbing, and ridiculing of smart people when they do this. There was no context, Reid wasn't even in the episode. Out of the blue, they have two frienemies flat out do this to him. They are not friends, they are not family to Reid. Many young people, particularly girls, watch this show. To have the show condone this, to participate in showcasing this behavior, is such bad modeling. I have had it with this. No other character on this show or any other does this to a main character. CM showrunner and writers are seriously, personally, into this characterization of Reid, love him as a punchline. Reid/Matthew is gone for three episodes. Maybe he is sick to death of this too. Why hang around when this has become his character? I would rather go on vacation too.Willenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884596043837327517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-71432112506176823872015-11-19T21:22:02.474-05:002015-11-19T21:22:02.474-05:00Matthew Gray Gubler is NOT Executive producer of C...Matthew Gray Gubler is NOT Executive producer of Criminal Minds....

My concern is he leaves the show (but would most likely still produce like will peterson or whatever his name was in csi...). I wished they did better with the impressions....and imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery. Lighten up people...it is a show and Reid would have had some sort of a say in the matter. Miss him in the show though....look forward to how quirky, smart and ackward he is.

In past seasons, especially the first 5, he was written as an essential part of a team of elite profilers. Now he is expendable, because Garcia can always consult Wikipedia.<br /><br />Second, Reid was ridiculed, behind his back, no less.<br /><br />Third, there was that "givin' th' profile" lineup of all the agents, which heavily implied that they didn't need Reid because the whole team is here. Fine, but they didn't really do any profiling; they were just spitballing, as someone has said. Not only that, they came to the wrong conclusion, the wrong unsub, and they shot the man dead when it was entirely unnecessary. The perfect, Reidless team actually let the precipitating unsub go!<br /><br />I know that, historically, Kim can't write for Reid, but now she can't seem to write any profiling either. This was all torture porn and unsubs. And what was that, sending sleep-deprived JJ and Tara out solo to take out the (wrong) unsub??!Suegypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581603249279624709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-34041873297191249822015-11-19T11:42:22.928-05:002015-11-19T11:42:22.928-05:00KIm Harrison is not a goodwriter for CM drama.
