Interesting point. And it is not just CM fandom that does this. It is something I have seen time and time again in show after after show.

I love that Hotch is willing to throw Emily in there - to use the fact that as a strong, independent woman she scares the crap out of some of the unsubs against them. If that were the only thing he used her for, it might be a problem, but Emily contributes to the team in other ways as well. Just like very other member of the team.


To me it is more that the show is trying to show how important Prentiss is to the team. And knowing what I know about what is going on behind the scenes I don't blame them one bit. In fact, I love them for it. It's just they are being a bit, heavy handed about it. (But then, I don't think the people at CBS are giving them much choice. Sometimes when you dealing with the network PTB you have to in your face.)

I get what everyone else is saying, but they have put Emily directly in the line of fire this season more than any other, and considering the stuff that's going on behind the scenes every time i'm just waiting for someone to actually shoot her. Which pulls me out of the story immediately.
