I think they're trying to replicate what they did with Abby on NCIS/NCIS:LA, having Garcia do double duty on both shows. While I'm happy for Kirsten getting more work, I have mixed feelings about the way it's being done. I am also uncomfortable with the way Kirsten is being used by CBS to ward off accusations of sexism after the AJ/Paget debacle as well as an incentive for a spinoff that happens to have only one female character (whose role was pitifully small and forgettable in the backdoor pilot).

If Garcia is still on the original, I'll watch it. But the spinoff remains irrelevant to my interests.
