~*Criminal Minds: Good Bye JJ !!

If you're a BIG Criminal Minds fan (like me) you would know that the character JJ (A.J. Cook) left the BAU team in the episode that aired this past Wednesday. Although, the news of her 'exit' from the show was plastered all over the internet it did not make it any easier to watch JJ leave. Apparently the company had to perform some cutbacks due to financial reasons (as it is always the case). A.J.'s character wasn't the only one who was affected by this cutback but Paget Brewster's character (Emily Prentiss) is only going to appear in ten episodes of Season 6. In my opinion I'm not really sad to hear that Agent Prentiss' time is being cutback because well I'm not fond of her and in all honesty I wish it was her who left and not JJ. Although, all of the characters on the BAU are of significance I truly believe that JJ had an integral role; being the BAU's liaison (communicating with the media). She's the one that lets the outside world know what is going on with that specific case and she answers any questions that they may have to the best of her ability. With that in mind she is a very charismatic person, she obviously has good people skills and she displays empathy/sympathy towards the victims. All of these qualities that I just listed aren't really shown by the other characters; Emily may be able to do her job (but her time is being cutback), Reid would just annoy every one with his randomness (dragging out his answers), Hotch well he isn't really approachable, Rossi is just plain intellectual and Morgan would most likely just get pissed off. Anyways, as you can probably tell I am upset that JJ left!
