I miss Hotchner as well. I stopped watching this show after he left, so I don't care about Reid's return. I no longer watch Criminal Minds. I do watch the reruns with Hotchner!!!
I want jj and Reid to remain friends. This is why I didn’t watch the last season of criminal minds. I hate the romance. Jj basically cheated emotionally. NO romance is what I want. I love their friendship.
How tho? They didn’t flirt or anything, she said she loved him under duress while hostage. Friends can absolutely love each other. I don’t see it as any form of cheating.
@@KariN-or3sc It was implied that there was romantic feelings between them. Which was lame. I don't think it was "cheating" but I definitely hated how they shoehorned it in. I think they were running out of ideas and decided to write in a half-assed romance. But that's just my opinion.
They better not kill off Will! Reed & JJ are besties, they should stay as besties. I think Reed deserves his own, without killing her off this time! I'm SO SICK of them killing off and torturing Reed's character. You don't need to constantly mess with the characters to keep it interesting. Just keep with interesting plots with bad guys and we'll be happy. Matthew doing cameos would be great! Then he could continue his other work!
From the beginning they were developing a romantic relationship between Spencer and JJ. They were going for a slow build up to them being together. A.J. got pregnant, so they needed a reasonable way to write her pregnancy into the story. They were never just best friends. If anyone paid attention in the beginning Spencer asked her out and she didn’t realize it was supposed to be a date so she invited Penelope. There were always hints at their feelings for each other.
I felt as the show went on that J.J. and Reid were more like brother and sister even though in the beginning Reid had a crush on her but to me it evolved to a more sibling type of relationship in my opinion. I can't see them as a romantic couple,. Besides I Love the Will and J.J. arc. I also hated how they tortured Reid throughout the shows run. They should bring back that girl, Maxine, for Reid that was in the 15th season. She was cute as a button and she had a great personality and I thought it really was a good match. Even though Maeve would've have been perfect for Reid, but of course they had to kill her off which was really too bad.
Keep JJ and Reid as friends. They always acted like siblings anyway as the seasons went on. Gubler could always have a cameo in Season 1, so it's a much smoother transition if he can come in for Season 2
@@ZacharyShankWell technically, evolution is a separate series, so yes it is season 2. The fact it's a continuation of the original and that fandom commonly talks about it as if they're all seasons of the original series doesn't change the fact it's a new title. So yes, Season 2 is correct.
It’s not up to them…they would welcome Matthew back w open arms. But he has prior commitments and has been pretty vocal about wanting to do other things after 15 seasons of CM. I do hope he returns for at least a cameo or two in the 2nd/17th season! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
When I heard that MGG was not regularly in the show but may pop up later made me go to the dark side. I thought that if they brought him back next season he might have taken an "evil" genius turn...what a plot twist that could be. Making Spencer go crazy and have the team looking for him!
I don’t want Will to die, JJ and Will are goals. I wouldn’t want to see JJ w Reid….and there never was a romance in the original series. There were hints here and there that they had secret feelings, but that’s it. I want Reid back, but I do NOT want Will to die. And they already said it was a thyroid issue, not cancer, so this video is crap anyway.
Some of y’all forget that he liked her in the beginning and there were subtle hints of her also liking him. He invited her to a baseball game as a date, and she didn’t know.
You could easily get him back in by him becoming a crime novel writer and being asked to help the team with an impossible to solve crime going on and he realizes how much he missed being part of the team and rejoins the team.
@@Diet_077 I had to google it because I wasn’t sure but he kicked someone on set so they fired him. He says it wasn’t that bad. I think it was that mixed with anger issues. It may have been at the time of his divorce. Lol
Maybe I didn’t notice it but I never thought Reid and JJ had chemistry. The show made hints that Reid liked JJ during season one but after that it was a sibling relationship. She always treated him like a little brother.
It was absolutely stupid to make JJ and Reid be in love with each other. It was so unbelievable. We've seen their dynamic for years and there were not any evidence JJ and Dr. Genius had something more then sweet friendship.
JJ's husband was the absolute best and their path was tender and funny. Their marriage was healthy and secure. No reason to wreck them for something rushed.
They don’t need to kill Will to set up a Reid return, since JJ and Reid were never together. They said he’s on assignment, so the only set up they need is for him to come back from assignment. Also, Will isn’t dying…they already confirmed it’s not cancer, and it’s highly unlikely he would die because of a thyroid issue. So, no losing of Will as of the current storylines (and hopefully never!), and Reid can come back whenever and IF the actor is available/wants to come back. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I would love to see reid back on the show, but what they really need is hotch and morgan. i think it would be really cool if they suddenly brought back elle. i liked her a lot
I couldn’t stand Elle, lol. Esp towards the end. I wouldn’t mind Hotch and Morgan coming back tho. Shemar said he would love to, but scheduling conflicts w swat probably won’t allow it :(
I agree Hotch and Derek need to come back to find Reid and finally someone else misses ell she was a good profilers I never understood why she was recast with Emily she’s older and came off as a bit cold secretive not my a favorite but I do love the whole team chemistry everyone else flow was allways so on point it made me look over Emily especially Penelope she’s so freaking bubbly and quirky it really is a joy she’s a perfect character CM
@@joshsims9642 the actor who played him would never, even if Gideon wasn’t dead. He said horrible things abt the show, the actors, and us the viewers. Basically said we were sick/messed up in the head to watch stuff like that. Soooo, yeah, he won’t be returning.
Well thank goodness the show has been renewed for a 2nd (or 17th) season. Now hopefully Reid will come back. (I still don’t trust Deputy Director Bailey, and I think he’s hiding something.)
Reid deserves someone new and a healthy new relationship. Will moved for JJ, loved her so much, and did everything for her and their kids so she can do her job. Smh they better not
NGL I really didn't like how they just threw Will & JJ together out of no where after some off screen romance, I wouldn't mind JJ & Reid having a slow burn romance AFTER Will passes tragically. As long as it's done naturally, that would help
I’m just annoyed they didn’t just wait for Matthew to be free to start filming, Reid is the only character before this season started to have not missed a single episode of criminal minds, literally was in every single episode and they screwed it with the decision not to wait.
Morgan (sorry I’m terrible w names and can’t remember the actors name 🤦🏼♀️) has said, very recently, that he would love to come back. But unfortunately, his show SWAT is preventing that from happening due to schedule conflicts. Have you watched SWAT? It’s been in my watchlist since season 1 but I hvnt started it yet. If you’ve seen it, do you recommend?
I’m hoping Reid comes back. Although I have no issue with JJ’s husband, the show is not the same without Reid. They both went through a lot. Both deserve to be finally happy one way or another.
If there were ever going to be a romance between Jj and Reid. It should have been waaaay back in the days when reid had a crush on jj. I think that could have been an interesting take. It wouldn't have been one that lasted tho. It would have been one that helped Reid grow, and learn valuable lessons regarding romance. And then they would have turned it into the friendship they have. Besties.. and JJ would end with her current husband, where Reid would end in a serious relationship of his own. They managed to get Reid to grow without that romance of Jj. But they should never have gotten Jj to "admit" her feelings. It felt to forced after such a long time. They have a brother/sister relationship at that point. It's just WRONG.. there was nothing to truly hint at it. It did come out of no where.. Compared to when Reid had his crush, we could sort of feel, and see it.. and to be honest, it sort of ruined how I view Jj now. Before I saw her as a badass, now I just see those problem she has in her relationship with her husband to be her own damn fault. I'm pissed off to be honest.. I do hope Reid comes back, I hope he comes back having a beautiful loving fiancé that he is just head over heels in love with.. If Jj looses her husband, no doubt she will try something with Reid.. I want him to turn her the fuck down.. he deserves some happiness, be a first choice and just be appreciated.. He will continue to be her friend. But please don't screw that over..
I totally agree! When J.J. admitted her love for Reid, to me, just felt awkward. I wish they would bring back Maxine, the girl that kinda hooked up with Reid toward the end of the 15th Season. She was cute as a button and very smart. I loved her personality and how compatible they seemed together and Reid was just so Happy, Finally..
It’s still worth a watch…CM isn’t keeping him from appearing, Matthew has committed to other things. Paget has spoken about his absence, and said she doesn’t blame him for wanting to do other things, so I think it’s 100% Gubler not wanting to come back. I do hope he changes his mind for next season, or at least makes a cameo. He was my fav character throughout the series. Season 16 is still worth watching tho! IMO anyway. 😁
PLS IF THEY HAVE JJ AND REID DATE I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON THIS PLANET Side note: I love Will don’t get me wrong, and he’s an amazing character on the show, but since season 1 with reid and jjs date, IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THEM TOGETHER.
Me too! I think we’re the only ones tho 😢 but i really want them to explore jj and reid’s romance. It’s such a long time coming. From season 1 until now… there were definitely hints for it too. Subtle, but it was there all throughout the show. Since CM is more on serious undertones, it doesn’t really emphasize dating between characters, but look at how in implied the Rossi and Strauss relationship without being too dramatic.. i think that’s what they also did with jj and reid
I feel like the new guy is trying so hard to be tough like hotch. But comes out as bad acting also i noticed Dave is not putting much effort in he's character he's lacking i feel like everyone is just force to do this 16th season not liking it as much specially without Reid i wonder wat their rating is
The relationship between JJ and Reid could've been romance if the people behind tbe scenes, slowly but steadily, built their relationship. I mean, the viewers say they only saw their relationship as being siblings but I saw something else. Very subtle but there were times, not always nor often, that I forgot JJ had a husband and kid. Felt forced that JJ suddenly left that route of not following her heart first before marrying a man she most likely wasn't content with. On the other hand, I feel like people are tired of seeing a guy and girl not being able to be written as only being friends but come on! It was clear as day on what the people behind this show originally wanted but really couldn't put it in the plot for some reason. Such a shame they went on the cheating route to have FINALLY given us some clear answers from watching the show throughout the seasons...
wait what??? how did I not know there was a season 16??!! no way! I thought criminal minds was over after they caught the chameleon and Garcia left the bau. I need to watch these episodes :O
Probably im the only one here that wants JJ and Reid end up as a couple. I didnt ship jj and reid back then bcoz reid was such a nerd looking guy, but on the last 2 seasons he evolved into a hot guy with his new look. Yes, it would turn ugly for the show if they kill off Will just to make jj and reid together but i still really want to see more jj and reid romantic scenes.
JJ and Spencer need to stay friends, if they become involved romantically, and if they end their romantic relationship, more than likely their friendship will end also. Most relationships that start as friends, can not return to being just friends. I absolutely would rather see the friendship stay put, and JJ and Spencer happy. JMO
Dang I just cancelled my paramount + subscription... Reid was my favorite character on the show. Such a beautiful human being to look at! I need to make sure I watched all the episodes available.
I agree 100% with everything commentator said! Every show leaves us shaking our head and wondering’what would Spencer do?’ Bring him back, Please! …& no romance between him and JJ.❤
Serial killer ... SERIAL KILLER ... unless he's going around killing Captain Crunch and Count Chocula and the Trix is for kids rabbit, he's a serial killer, not a cereal killer. Although that would make him a serial cereal killer.
Hey I didnt watch the previous seasons all like that and my mom informed me that he was in jail in the show which is why he didn’t return. Can someone direct me to which episode and season Reid was thrown in jail please? I’m currently on season 16
The executives over at Criminal Minds are notorious for changing their minds about the cast and making bad decisions. They change their minds as much as the stylist changes Reid's hair; we're going to have to wait until the roulette wheel stops spinning before we get a definite answer on this one.
Maybe Reid could have figured out this "gold star" thing that was in season 16 that high ranking officials seemed to be involved with and Voit knew about. Maybe he is being silenced about finding out some corruption going on within high ups.
i'm a rare one i guess i'd love to See JJ with Reid, however if they did end up killing Will or they do end up divorced to only bring him to get together with her let's say next season would be a mistake plus than there's the fact that if they do kill him off this season or next and he comes back it's still be a mistake to rush it, i love the idea of them together however it was handled really badly in season 15. if they did decide to do it at some point i'd be fine with it and if she stays with Will i'm fine with that as well. it all depends on how it's written if they decide to go down that route. and if they don't they don't, although i am curious if he's still with Max though
I hope will doesn’t die, but if he did instead of having Reid come to be the love interest he could come back as he’s the godfather ! And then just continue as he’s always been there 🤞🥹
I would love to see Hotch back, I thought his write off was insanely sloppy & the details behind the BTS drama was VERY fishy & seemed HELLA petty...maybe having Morgan back too in some capacity would be really great!
I like the relationship jj has with her husband. Don't kill him off just put Reid on and let him have his own healthy relationship.
At this point it don’t matter it’s the last season
@@kareemgriffin7835 Lmao, what? They have said nothing about season 16 being their last? Season 15 was literally labeled as its last season..

PLS IF THEY HAVE JJ AND REID DATE I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON THIS PLANET
Side note: I love Will don’t get me wrong, and he’s an amazing character on the show, but since season 1 with reid and jjs date, IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THEM TOGETHER.
Me too! I think we’re the only ones tho 😢 but i really want them to explore jj and reid’s romance. It’s such a long time coming. From season 1 until now… there were definitely hints for it too. Subtle, but it was there all throughout the show. Since CM is more on serious undertones, it doesn’t really emphasize dating between characters, but look at how in implied the Rossi and Strauss relationship without being too dramatic.. i think that’s what they also did with jj and reid
JJ and Reid have a brother sister kind of relationship and I wouldnt want it ruined
No don't do it Reid and JJ should remain besties and family
I feel like the new guy is trying so hard to be tough like hotch. But comes out as bad acting also i noticed Dave is not putting much effort in he's character he's lacking i feel like everyone is just force to do this 16th season not liking it as much specially without Reid i wonder wat their rating is
I want morgan to return
The relationship between JJ and Reid could've been romance if the people behind tbe scenes, slowly but steadily, built their relationship. I mean, the viewers say they only saw their relationship as being siblings but I saw something else. Very subtle but there were times, not always nor often, that I forgot JJ had a husband and kid. Felt forced that JJ suddenly left that route of not following her heart first before marrying a man she most likely wasn't content with. On the other hand, I feel like people are tired of seeing a guy and girl not being able to be written as only being friends but come on! It was clear as day on what the people behind this show originally wanted but really couldn't put it in the plot for some reason. Such a shame they went on the cheating route to have FINALLY given us some clear answers from watching the show throughout the seasons...
Please bring reid back. I really miss him, and he's also a big part of bau
Yuck. No. I like JJ and her husband. I liked her and Reid's friendship.
he's NOT coming back. He would have expressed interest to return straight away. He's obviously occupied with other projects
wait what??? how did I not know there was a season 16??!! no way! I thought criminal minds was over after they caught the chameleon and Garcia left the bau. I need to watch these episodes :O
We want Reed back!! Don't kill JJ Husband.
Probably im the only one here that wants JJ and Reid end up as a couple. I didnt ship jj and reid back then bcoz reid was such a nerd looking guy, but on the last 2 seasons he evolved into a hot guy with his new look. Yes, it would turn ugly for the show if they kill off Will just to make jj and reid together but i still really want to see more jj and reid romantic scenes.
They need to pay Gubler the money he wants to return.
what is/was matt filming ?
Not the same without matthew
When Maeve was killed, that was the worst episode. It affected me. I know Reid cares about JJ, but I think they should just stay friends.
JJ and Spencer need to stay friends, if they become involved romantically, and if they end their romantic relationship, more than likely their friendship will end also. Most relationships that start as friends, can not return to being just friends. I absolutely would rather see the friendship stay put, and JJ and Spencer happy. JMO
Dang I just cancelled my paramount + subscription... Reid was my favorite character on the show. Such a beautiful human being to look at! I need to make sure I watched all the episodes available.
I agree 100% with everything commentator said! Every show leaves us shaking our head and wondering’what would Spencer do?’ Bring him back, Please! …& no romance between him and JJ.❤
I don't see why they can't bring Spencer back regardless, or any other of the previous characters, they're all great in this show!
So this is a show? I thought it was a movie. Damn it! xD
I think it would be genius if he would come back as the cereal killer who has designed and established an intense network of cereal killers
Serial killer ... SERIAL KILLER ... unless he's going around killing Captain Crunch and Count Chocula and the Trix is for kids rabbit, he's a serial killer, not a cereal killer. Although that would make him a serial cereal killer.
Hey I didnt watch the previous seasons all like that and my mom informed me that he was in jail in the show which is why he didn’t return. Can someone direct me to which episode and season Reid was thrown in jail please? I’m currently on season 16
The executives over at Criminal Minds are notorious for changing their minds about the cast and making bad decisions. They change their minds as much as the stylist changes Reid's hair; we're going to have to wait until the roulette wheel stops spinning before we get a definite answer on this one.
No Reid on Criminal Minds!!! I will not even bother watching!!!
One year older and he's not back.
I think Gubler didn't want to be part of the show until he could see if the show would succeed.
Maybe Reid could have figured out this "gold star" thing that was in season 16 that high ranking officials seemed to be involved with and Voit knew about. Maybe he is being silenced about finding out some corruption going on within high ups.
Spencer, and Penelope will always be the show😊
i'm a rare one i guess i'd love to See JJ with Reid, however if they did end up killing Will or they do end up divorced to only bring him to get together with her let's say next season would be a mistake plus than there's the fact that if they do kill him off this season or next and he comes back it's still be a mistake to rush it, i love the idea of them together however it was handled really badly in season 15. if they did decide to do it at some point i'd be fine with it and if she stays with Will i'm fine with that as well. it all depends on how it's written if they decide to go down that route. and if they don't they don't, although i am curious if he's still with Max though
I hope will doesn’t die, but if he did instead of having Reid come to be the love interest he could come back as he’s the godfather ! And then just continue as he’s always been there 🤞🥹
Yes to Reid no to romance
Everybody's waiting for. This romance Is a good thing people been waiting for it
JJ & Reid should not be together! Keep the closeness between them. They are BFF’s
When is the new season?
I've tried to watch but never can find it. I don't have streaming so do I loose out. I've been a C M fan from the begining.
there was NEVER romance between jj and reid... reid had feelings in season 1 and then jj had feelings in season 15.. they wouldn't ever date
BRING SPENCER REID BACK. WE HAVE WATCHED HIM OVER A DECADE.
It would be better with Hotchner
The whole team is like family and I love all of them! 💗
I would certainly love for Reid to come back. however, if he decides not to then I think Blake would be a good idea.
I actually want him to come back as an unsub that would just be awsome
Well thanks for spoiling that, didn’t know . Would of been a nice surprise.
100% Agree so annoyed
Go Simon! W/O Ried or hotch, the story goes on. It's just slower to catch a perp😁 I remember multiple cases vs one being solved.
I would love to see Hotch back, I thought his write off was insanely sloppy & the details behind the BTS drama was VERY fishy & seemed HELLA petty...maybe having Morgan back too in some capacity would be really great!
I want Hotchner, Morgan, and Gideon back on here. I love JJ with Will. Reid belongs with that She's All That girl.
pretty misleading title. How can you botch something that hasnt happened?
