Like Daughter!

Those Dimples had to Come from Somewhere!

Now You Know!

I disliked Reid & Elle from their first appearance.

Gideon was smug & unlikable.

Hotchner had his moments, but was absolutely rude & dismissive to Emily when she first joined the team. [But Kind & Supportive to Alex, Kate & Tara!?]

Reid was an absolute jerk to Emily on so many occasions, despite her empathy & kindness to him. [Which was undeserved!]

Emily has been the most consistently kind, empathetic & caring character on Criminal Minds.

She's the Best Profiler, Agent & Unit Chief EVER in the BAU.

I'm glad that the characters that are gone are no longer there because the Evolution team is amazing.

Reid was nothing more than a distraction & not nearly as intelligent nor as interesting as Emily.

If you can't say something nice, then keep scrolling.

Rossi is like a father to Emily. They may not always see eye to eye, but they ultimately have each other's backs & best interest at heart.

I Beg to Differ!

Season 16 Emily Prentiss!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

I have been a fan since the first episode premiered back on September 22nd 2005.

My Mom was recently diagnosed with cancer & had just started Chemotherapy.

Episode 3 premiered on what would have been Mom & Dad's 60th Anniversary.

Episode 10 premiered the day after I lost My Mom to Cancer.

Criminal Minds has been a constant in My Life since that First Episode, through Momma battling cancer, my last holiday with her, saying goodbye & then moving to a new place for a fresh start where everything didn't remind me of My Mom.

When Paget Brewster was introduced as Emily Prentiss, she brought an amazing & sympathetic character to the show & solidified it as my all-time favorite show & Emily as my all-time favorite character.

For over 20 years Criminal Minds has been my comfort show. It's not an obsession or a passing phase, it is simply a constant in my life that has helped me through so many tough times.

Other characters have come & gone (some thankfully gone) but Emily Prentiss is the Character that I admire the most for her smile, grace, humor, & humanity.

While some of the fan fiction is good, I don't like the bulk of it because it is ultimately disrespectful to the Amazing Character of Emily Prentiss.

She's not someone who would wreck JJ's Marriage for any reason, she encouraged JJ to pursue Will from their first meeting in the Episode Jones.

She's not some domineering hybrid with male parts who degrades others or humiliates them for pleasure. She is far to kindhearted for that type of behavior.

While Emily has a complicated history with her Mother, Elizabeth loves & ultimately supports Emily. Remember that she made sure Emily had the money she needed to survive in college without constantly reminding her, so Emily could feel self sufficient even when she was struggling to make ends meet. That tells us that Elizabeth was protective & only wanted to make sure Emily had what she needed to survive.

They may not be best friends nor want to vacation together, but that doesn't mean that they don't love one another.

Elizabeth wasn't at Emily's "funeral" when they faked her death, because she was with her while Emily recovered from her injuries. Why else would Emily have gone to Paris? Her grandfather had a cabin in France where they visited him frequently & that was likely one of her safe places while she was in hiding.

I have nothing but love & respect for Emily Prentiss & Criminal Minds for All they have seen me through & I wish everyone else would just be respectful of them too.

Some of the stuff I read while searching for a good story makes Emily sound more like a psychopath & an unsub than a highly intelligent & talented FBI Profiler.

OH Yeah & One More Thing, Emily Can Cook!
