Brief thought

So, Paget Brewster is leaving Criminal Minds at the end of this season.

I’m not altogether surprised. She’s wanted to tackle other projects, and it may be for the better in the long run—both for her and for the series. How the writers are going to frame her exit now, I don’t know. I doubt it will be with the biff-bang-POW! of last season’s arc with Ian Doyle. Oh, they could kill off the character of Emily Prentiss, and make it stiick. They could also take the exit route of Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini)—PTSD turned homicidal—but I suspect there may be more of a weepy breakdown, if “Unknown Suspect” [S7E12] is any indication.

As to the rumors surrounding Matthew Gray Gubler’s contract, I say: wait and see. I do, however, hope that he does not become the Millenial Generation’s answer to Crispin Glover.
