Are you joking about Reid getting all the romance sotrylines ?
He kissed an actress who deliberately made him fall in a pool for that very purpose and that was it, it wasn't a romance in the slightest.
He got a phone number from a bartender because she liked his magic trick and that was it too. Not a romance either.

- Hotch/Haley was a big, big thing,it took screen time and even became one of the focal point of the Hotch/Foyet storyline.
- Morgan had more screen time with Tamara Barnes and subtext with Jordan Todd,
- Garcia/Kevin anyone ?
- JJ/Will, anyone ? And let's not forget that they have Henry.
- And we're going to meet one of Rossi ex-xife...

I fail to see how Reid gets 'all the romance storyline', he never had an actual romance on the show. You can't call what we saw for him 'romance', he never even had a SINGLE date, just awkward moments with two women in 6 + years and I didn't find it convincing at all (and I'm not the only one).

That being said, I prefer it that way for more than one reasons.

I want the writers to concentrate on Reid's genius, and apparently his centric episode of the season (and probably the only one, just like in season five and six...) will concentrate on that aspect.
Good, he's a one of a kind genius and the writers tend to forget that very regularly.
I also think that if they wanted to have a romance for Reid they would mess it up, it would probably be like : "look, we're going to throw another bimbo at him".
So I'm glad about the romance NOT being for him.

I also hope for a reappearance of Jane Lynch this season, after three years.

I'm also glad to see Hotch having a lighter storyline this season. Given how dark his storylines have alway been, he needs lighter stories in my opinion. And I'm happy about him getting some loving too.
Now Prentiss just needs to find a nice boyfriend outside of the team later.
