Yay to Paget being back too!

I was happy to see JJ back in the finale (great shot of her legs! LOL) but I wish they didn't show AJ's name in the credits because that ruin the surprise (I didn't think she would be back until next season).

Man this season sucked big time - I think there was only one arc story (Prentiss' exit). And the individual episodes weren't interesting either.

You know, the show is going into its 7th season - they could afford to do more story arcs and character based stuff. I hope the new showrunner (Erica Messer) will make next season good.

I've never understood why we didn't see more of their lives outside the BAU. I mean we got glimpses here and there and of course the big arc with the Reaper (which I hated!!) killing Hotch's wife, but we've very rarely seen what they do when they leave work.

One of the problems with showing their outside lives is that the show needs to be consistent and I don't think they're very good at that. When Prentiss came on she was basically a mole reporting to Strauss because she wanted a job with the BAU but last season we find out she was a super deep cover agent for Interpol. Then there's Hotch's brother who we saw once and never heard from again even after his wife was murdered. We have Reid's magically disappearing headaches from this season which I guess got cured by the same thing that got rid of his Dilaudid addiction.

CM is my favorite procedural (I consider L&O:SVU a comedy now) but they suck at continuity.

And yes, big yay for the return of Paget!

In all honestly, people in that line of work probably don't have much of a personal life. It looks like we are getting a little of it this especially, so far mostly with Rossi. We have seen his house twice and now he is going to have to deal with his ex-wife and her ALS. That will bring up a whole issue because if he follows her wishes to not let her suffer after a certain point.

Bye CM! So [!@#$%^&*] done! Second consecutive year you chose to squander two hours of television, and to kill off Strauss?! Not necessary! Bastards!

Off the DVR, and I'm gonna have to find another way to get my Shemar fix! This show has been garbage for far too long!!!!!

I quickly fell of the "!@#$%^&*] CM" wagon, but I have to say that this was quite a premier. The ending was a very nice twist with a follow up this week. Twins! I will watch Wednesday and then take it week by week.

Shemar is just so damn beautiful! I hope to see him running soon with a gun in hand (wish we could find a reason to have him on horseback with a rifle - wonder who I can contact about that).

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
