There’s much more to the story about Dr. Reid’s headaches…except you won’t find out until next season, according to EP Erica Messer. “That’s something that we’re talking to Matthew [Gray Gubler] about and the writers are all trying to figure out what stories we’ve dropped. Honestly, that storyline, that whole idea behind that, started before we lost A.J. [Cook] and Paget [Brewster]. There was a chance that we were fearing to lose Matthew just because of contract negotiations, and that storyline kind of got implanted and then never truly paid off in this season, but we want to sort of conclude that next season. That’s the plan.” Thank goodness the Gubler told me he’s all set for next season and exited about it. Can you imagine a Gube-less CM? Hells to the no! This team is magic!

Date: May. 6th, 2011 07:51 pm (UTC)I think it could be easier for the writers to follow through a physical disease than a psychological one. Showing the symptoms of a physical disease and dealing with it would probably be less difficult.
What I fear is to see Reid simply saying that his headaches are stress related, or Reid briefly consulting a therapist and get better.
If that's what they have in mind, I would prefer them to drop the storyline.
Just like you I want a real, developed story. And I think they could do that if his symptoms are the cause of a physical disease.
