I love Criminal Minds. But.
It’s getting way too soapie. I mean…all the relationships, it boggles the mind. I was happy with subtext between the main characters- goddamn, I never realized how many different pairings people support for this show, literally, EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION has been ficced and wallpapered and iconed on the internet somewhere. Whatever the writers have been doing worked well, all the shippers and the non-shippers could happily co-exist in peace and harmony because there was nothing overt and obvious going on. And life was good.
Then it all went haywire.
Puppies and butterflies and rainbows work in a lot of shows. Like Teletubbies. [Eh-oh!]
But for CM? Not so much.
