| | Criminal Minds - More too much JJ?JJ isn't even my favorite character. I like her, and she's like in a fluctuating four way tie with Morgan, Prentiss, and Garcia, but top on the list is Hotch and right after comes Reid. But, this talk that the show is becoming the JJ show just because she had two episodes centered on her - episodes that gave the others something to do, and more insight into Hotch's personal story- is just crazy. And, they did not make JJ the person who runs the BAU. Picking the cases is her job. It's a real job. It's something that's been known since North Mammon last season. What, is JJ just supposed to pop in for a press conference for a few minutes an episode or brief the team and they never show anything about the difficulties of her specific duties? They explored how politics plays a part and how that was a problem in Hotch's job and his ambitions. How keeping score and wanting to win played a part in Reid's actions - and everything about Elephant's Memory (a great episode) connected to Reid. But, JJ isn't supposed to get any focus? She's as much a main character as the others. And, maybe the pregnancy caused the episodes about her to come one right after the other, but that isn't saying that the other episodes won't be mainly about someone else. Although I worry that even five minutes of focus on JJ in an episode -especially if the five minutes has anything to do with her pregnancy- will be seen as The JJ Show. This was no more JJ and Friends than Ashes and Dust was Hotch and Friends or Elephant's Memory (or Revelations or Somebody's Watching or Sex, Birth, Death) was Reid and Friends, or Profiler, Profiled was Morgan and Friends.
