Surprised to see Blake leave. It is confirmed that Tripplehorn is gone. The EP of Criminal Minds confirmed it in TV Guide.
If they add a new agent, I hope they bring in someone a little younger. Maybe someone closer to AJ Cook's age.

You mean this show has been renewed? I thought it was borderline last year. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but it seems to be getting a little long in the tooth.

Criminal Minds still gets over 12M viewers per week and in the mid 2's in the demos. It's a show co-produced by CBS and has a few syndication deals. It's making money for the network and I can easily see this lasting another 2-3 more seasons minimum. Most of the cast is signed on through season 10. They will have to re-negotiate new contracts in summer 2015 if the show gets an 11th season.

i thought they really underused Tripplehorn.
i was particularly annoyed they killed off that trouble making unit chief last year. I was hoping they would have really explored how she screwed over Blake and done something story wise with that instead of a few short lines.
i think what i am starting to dislike is the feeling this is some kind of action show instead of focusing on the psychology and investigation part. i also think they spend too much time with the unsub and dilute some of the mystery of who they are.

Announced today. Jennifer Love Hewitt is joining the show as a series regular replacing Jeanne Tripplehorn. I know not many here watch this show regularly, but I always thought it needed to get a little younger. I like this pick and not because she's hot.
http://tvline.com/2014/07/01/jennife...nds-season-10/
CBS’ Criminal Minds will fill the void left by Jeanne Tripplehorn’s departure with a lotta Love.
TVLine has learned that TV vet Jennifer Love Hewitt is joining the crime drama during Season 10 in a series regular role.
She will play Kate Callahan, a seasoned undercover agent whose stellar work at the FBI has landed her a coveted position with the Behavioral Analysis Unit. The character will be introduced in the Oct. 1 season premiere.
“We’re thrilled to introduce a new special agent by adding the very talented Jennifer Love Hewitt to our amazing cast,” says Minds showrunner Erica Messer. “Many of us on the show have enjoyed working with her over the years and look forward to again. We have exciting storylines planned for her character and the entire BAU team as we head into our 10th season.”
News of Love’s casting comes seven weeks after Criminal Minds‘ May finale saw Tripplehorn’s Alex Blake signal her decision to part ways with the BAU, after a two-season stint.
Hewitt’s previous credits include Party of Five (and subsequent short-lived spin-off), Ghost Whisperer, The Client List and a couple of I Know What You Did Last Summer movies.

She's hot but I don't think she's a good actress and might not be able to keep up with the rest of the cast.

Go Figure, I just read some comments about the announcement and most of the people who hate the move are women....older as well.

i think she brings down the quality of the show, preemptively. she feels too light for a show where approximately 10 percent of the world is a psycho-sexual sadist. feels kinda jump the shark ish unless they keep her undercover giving guys hand jobs in a massage parlor or where she can talk to the dead victims and track down the unsubs that way. bonus points if she paraphrases what the dead say rather than repeats it verbatim.
i hope i am wrong and she really is up to the dramatic task.

I'm just fine with the pick. Also would open up a storyline where she can go undercover as a prostitute.
Let's face it, as much as I like the show, outside of the occasional moment (like when Hotch's wife was murdered), the cast is pretty much on auto-pilot at this point.

I might start watching this again since Jennifer Love Hewitt has joined the cast. I will catch an episode every once in awhile but this show bothers me sometimes. Most films and TV shows don't get under my skin and really disturb me like Criminal Minds can some times. Paget Brewster said one time in an interview that some of the episodes have to actually be toned down from the real cases they are based on to be able to get on TV.

I'll reserve all judgment until the new season starts. If she sucks, then we can pile on. Deal?

re: Criminal Minds (Moving to Paramount +)
You're basing this on her previous work. You don't think she can go dark enough because we've never seen her do that. That doesn't mean she can't; only that her previous roles didn't call on her to go there.

First episode with JLH. Not bad. I like that they didn't make a huge deal of her arrival like they did with Rossi and Prentiss. They just slotted her into the team and hit the ground running on the new case.

Yeah I thought tonight's premiere was fine. J-Love Hewitt's introduction wasn't a big deal. She fit in with the team just fine. Looks like she's still working off some of the baby weight.
Kind of a creepy episode with all those human limbs. And dang, Kerr Smith has aged badly. Looks like there is a human trafficking ring lingering for the BAU.

Yeah, not bad. As for Kerr Smith, he's had that gray hair for years now.
Also, ratings for CM: 2.7 (18-49), 11.5 million viewers, the most watch show of the night. That is on par with last season's premiere and finale.

re: Criminal Minds (Moving to Paramount +)
Eh. guys, how about a little coordination between the stock footage, the set department, and the prop department. The shot of the plane was a 747, but the inside shots were of a narrow-body aircraft. And the blueprints that Reid posts on the wall show a 727, a plane that isn't even in active service these days.
Nice to see Pat Tallman getting work, though.

Of course, it's a different TARDIS every week too.
