An alternative perspective

EDIT: This is a post for people to talk about WHY THEY WILL STILL WATCH. This isn't for people to reinterate sexism, why CBS sucks, etc. Please keep that in consideration!

I want to try something, and I'm sure it might not go over well. Mods...use your powers if you feel it right. But I think we need this here.

There are some of us, while sad AJ is leaving, who aren't going to stop watching the show. We may have thought some of the protests went too far. We may be excited for the change in team chemistry. Basically, we're gonna give it a shot.

We're also afraid that however calm and articulate we are, we'll be seen as flamers or we'll be flamed. I thought this could be the post for those of us who need to get this off our chests. Need to vent in another direction.

Feel free to be anon. I'd urge nobody to slam other fans, just talk about what they hope for season 6, why they aren't going to stop watching, etc. I don't want ANYONE ON ANY SIDE to feel insulted.

Whadda ya think?

EDIT: This is a 'Why I will watch' thread, not yet another place for people to state 'why they won't watch.'

I think I'll keep watching Criminal Minds. I don't necessarily think it was a sexist decision, JJ unfortunately is the easiest to wrap up, but a bottom line one.

I feel for the actress coming up though. She might be beaten over the head by the fandom. Best of Luck to her though.

I signed the petition and did what I could. but the fact that Criminal Minds is a television show, and AJ Cook will be perfectly fine was not lost on me. I think so fans got carried away but hey, thats them. I understood why they got so caught up in it. But AJ Cook did well on Criminal Minds and was very graceful about her exit, so she's has a lot going for her.
