But it was the show runner and the writers who drove this puppy to SoapLand, and I don't feel like trusting them to soap Reid out of his loneliness.<br />Perhaps they could have it become evident that Reid has an academic colleague, similar to Alex, but closer to his age, that he has been becoming close to. No damseling, maybe just seeing them at a lecture or something, giving subtle hints that things are moving in a romantic direction. Perhaps a little bonding with morgan, a little sharing and asking for advice. It needn't and shouldn't be "The Episode Where Reid Meets His True Love" and she's shoved down our throats. It could be done, but they haven't done subtle in a long time.Suegypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581603249279624709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-11515213050707511052015-02-07T09:47:34.480-05:002015-02-07T09:47:34.480-05:00'CMRT, they already drew someone who most peop...'CMRT, they already drew someone who most people were happy with, but they had her slaughtered, because that's what you do in a soap opera. .

By the time we meet her, he's already established a relationship with her based on a love of her mind. Fans of the show were wary, but it seemed like she was intelligent and compassionate. He'd not even seen her, but was invested in her. This could have gone the wrong way, but didn't. (yet)<br />2. By the time we see her, we know she's smart and shy, but also willing to take a chance, because she knows love is something you have to put your heart on the line for. She thinks her danger is over, so she wants to meet him, whom she loves without ever seeing also. It doesn't hurt that she's cute, but it's not the most important thing. She's not vapid and vain, she's mature enough to commit to Reid and stay, another thing that's vital to him.<br />3. She would have fit into his world at the BAU, and also would have fit into his post-BAU world, should he decide to go all-academic. She could have helped him see his genetics weren't a sword of Damocles, they could have had kids.<br /><br />Lila and Austin weren't failures, because they served to show that Spencer had regular sexual urges (Lila) and he could be charming to the opposite sex (Austin), something he was unsure of. But the writers already wrote him the perfect mate in Maeve, then they killed her off. A cute "chick" with an even cuter name and enough quirk to fit into 2 other CBS shows is not going to fill the bill now.Suegypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581603249279624709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-42183303226217492162015-02-06T21:58:43.960-05:002015-02-06T21:58:43.960-05:00By the way did I mention how much I LOVED Kate (JL...By the way did I mention how much I LOVED Kate (JLH) in this episode!

Obviously those 'failures' ( I do not feel like this) to write a believeable mate is not just on writers from s6 to 10 but was the same from s1 to 5. <br /><br />So, a mate for Reid should be less cute and smart then he is? I do not equate Reid being paired with someone who would be as cute or smart as him as writing him as a walking cliché.<br /><br />I often read that none of the women written for Reid are never 'good enough', mind you can read the same thing about Hotch and Morgan too, So, who would be the perfect girl for Spencer? <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-13827892743249264452015-02-06T20:27:19.268-05:002015-02-06T20:27:19.268-05:00Liv, he talked very definitely about leaving at th...Liv, he talked very definitely about leaving at the end of 10 last year.

In my eye, Einstein suffered from the same kind of caricature with which the writers so often, and so poorly, portray Reid. If Reid is to enter a relationship, I'd like it to be a serious one, with a woman who is mature and grounded. But I don't know that anyone on this team knows how to write that, so I'm okay with him being alone.JustMyOpinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881251246731782720noreply@blogger.com
