I think the problem is that they haven't actually been profiling. The show used to have them profiling so Reid really got to contribute, but now they just show us the unsubs instead and don't even do the profiling half the time. It takes away the suspense and we see less of the team. It seems that they only really want to focus on Morgan this season. And they haven't even done anything really good with his character-- they just made him look self-centered for the most part.

Rumor has it that Strauss will be back in the season finale and will have a supposedly surprising connection to one of the team members. I'd like to think that it is Reid (maybe they met at a Beltway Clean Cops meeting), but I'm betting it will be either Hotch or Rossi-- who knows, maybe it will be Morgan because he took her to rehab. If it turns out to be Morgan I will be angry.

The only news I have is that Matthew stated in a recent interview that he wants to continue on the show and that he's even trying to convince Paget to come back.

So it is all in the hands of the people who do the contract negotiations. I've been told by someone who worked in the industry that the actors often have little involvement and aren't even in the room when the deals are being brokered. It comes down to lawyers and agents and such and the actors just have to sit and wait.
Matthew might ask for a slight raise, but I can't see him getting greedy on the money. If anything he may ask for more time off to work on other projects, travel to promote the show, and make sure he gets Halloween off. It shouldn't be a problem since he's been used so little this season that I can't see them giving him less time off unless they are just being controlling jerkwads. There were a lot of episodes this season where Matthew didn't have to be on the set because there was so little for his character to do.

If they do not hire someone to replace Paget, they might have some extra money for his salary.

Thanks!
I was taken by surprise when they suddenly started claiming Reid was a technophobe or luddite.It didn't make sense-- especially since we saw him using computers in the past. I think it was something Matthew pushed that the writers gave in to.
I was irritated when they had Reid tell a girl he didn't have e-mail when earlier that season he was checking his e-mail. I'm guessing he was just saying he only had work e-mail and not a personal e-mail account.
The writers and cast are saying behind the scenes that Reid is a technophobe. :-(
Again, thank you! I love when people compile information because it saves me some time. If there is anything I can help with, just let me know.

Where I live, we do have 13 steppers. That's what we call people who attend meetings just to meet sexual partners. In most cases two people with minimal sobriety will relapse together

I liked when Reid bonked the unsub on the head with a pipe in "Corazon". I also liked Reid playing scrabble with his mom. I also liked it when Hotch got up from playing cards and said "Do not cheat!" to Reid and Reid immediately picked up Hotch's cards and looked.

Since this is The Internet, and I am blessedly anonymous, I'm going to just go all out here:

I have Asperger's. I have, indeed, developed better social skills as I've gotten older, in a similar manner to what I've seen of Reid -- I've only watched the first season and a few spare episodes here and there, but I've gone from being considered quite severely Asperger's/Autistic (whatever that means) to being able to "pass" quite well, depending on the day and the situation. I still have... issues, and it takes concentration sometimes, but when it does come up, people are largely quite surprised -- I read Reid as mildly Asperger's, with a good mentor in Gideon. Someone who's learning. (He may go beyond this in later seasons, I wouldn't know yet.)

Personally, one of my "special interests" is human interaction, facial expressions, etc. This is probably why I am able to pass -- I obsessively categorize social responses and their appropriate situations -- and Reid seems, thus far, to have a similar interest, what with all the questions he asks.

His character development is interesting -- and, indeed, relatable -- but I will miss his original intense awkwardness if only because he's one of only two interesting Aspie characters I've ever seen on television (the other being Bob from Regenesis), and I want more awkward characters on my TV. :)

To someone who mentions his mother's apparent mental illness: my mom has schizophrenia. I still manage to have a completely separate mental disorder, and my sister is very social indeed. She's had it my whole life, and no, I don't see any way it would've caused social awkwardness of that level in her children. Not unless Reid's mother was abusive (which, based on my experiences with schizophrenia? Totally plausible. But not common, so it goes.)

"I liked Reids hair in the Fisher King Part 2. It wasnt too long and it wasnt too short. And I also liked it in season 4 too."

Me to, the best hair seasons for him! :) Nice choice

Yeah, it's mean of them to tease us when we still have to wait so long till we can watch it. I agree, it definitely looks like it's gonna be an interesting season, especially since the team has to deal with Prentiss coming back. And I'm pretty sure that the humor does continue. :)

Dude why did you need to create a new topic when you said the exact same thing in the exact same topic 20 min ago?

These noncense topics are really getting annoying.
