I think it's not really fair to blame JJ's exit on the writers and more on whoever is in charge of the money circulating that show. The girls getting booted has been and always will be about money, who they didn't want to pay anymore and who they thought was the weakest link in terms of character and story. Let's face it, JJ wasn't a very thoroughly developed character. Not like Prentiss after Demonology, not like Morgan after Profiler, Profiled, not like Hotch after 100 or Reid after all of seasons 3 and 4. Rossi's the only other one I thought maybe lacked the character development, but Joe Mantegna's the "big name" on the show. I'm not saying it's RIGHT that they axed AJ. I'm saying that if you expect any more from network shows that are in need of cash at times, then you need to reacquaint yourself with how shows work behind the scenes with producers, casts and salaries.
