I agree that most weeks Prentiss is just there "a line-delivery device to move the murders-of-the-week along." That's why I can't say I blame CBS for feeling like she's inessential. The showrunners just haven't demonstrated much of a willingness to develop a storyline for Prentiss over the years.
I agree that the "big moments" I pointed out for the women this year didn't add up to all that much. Which is part of the problem. Reid's one ep, "Uncanny Valley," was arguably a greater progression of that character's storyline than any of the women got in three.
That said, I should take "Solitary Man" out for JJ. I misremembered the ep, although there was some stuff in there for both JJ and Prentiss.
