(We all know which ship will win but I'm really interested to see which pairing comes in second/third place.)

(Also I know Alex/Kate is random but I just think they would vibe.)

(Also also: I'm sorry I left Ashley & Strauss out but I didn't really ship them with anyone. I'd be really interested to hear about any of your ships featuring those 2.)

When the story has a sequence where the characters each get personally tortured with their exact personalized greatest fears and traumas

i miss jason gideon so much, man. my dude would say something, stop half way and just wander off. wouldnt say a thing about what he's doing or where he's going. the whole rest of the squad would follow him like confused little ducklings going "what is it, lassie? is timmy in the well again???"

or the gang would be talking to local police and hotch would look over and gideon's just balls to the wall running for whatever reason. just running off like an old man escaping the retirement home, buck ass naked and free

I've always thought that s4 and s7 were the superior CM seasons, but which ones are your favourites now?

seasons 1 and 2 are my favorite. i think gideon is such an interesting character and the team dynamic is a lot more fixated yet unstable while he’s with them and he is so unhinged. the unsubs and overall episode pacing are unique and fun. instead of sticking to the formula of the later cm seasons, there are fun twists and surprises and very silly elements that make each episode exciting. every rewatch im always amazed that the early seasons really are banger after banger after banger

[maschotch]

rewatching cm and as fun as some of the episodes in the later season are, they just genuinely lose the plot after season three. the first few seasons follow a group of talented, intellectual individuals w their own strengths and weaknesses. but by season six they become a homogeneous hivemind with gaping holes in their logic to allow for the silly unsub of the week to get away with it long enough to make the episode interesting. the fleshed out characters become stereotypes of themselves. what do you mean legendary trekkie spencer reid doesnt know what twilight is? what do you mean he doesnt have email?
