I completely agree with everything.

My only problem with any of this, other than the obvious where is going to find time thing, is that even though I'm an avid fanfiction reader I'm almost completely against any of the team finding a love interest, at least on screen, just because I believe that that's not what this show is about. Yes I thoroughly love when we get more insight into a character it's just that it's hard to balance delving into love lives when there is, what, 7 people on the team and what this show is supposed to be about. This show needs to go back to it's grassroots and dealing with the cases. And yes I'd like to see Hotch happy and moving on but I think that I'd rather see this offscreen and just have it referenced. Of course we'll need to see the meeting but I really don't want it to be focused on... unless she's going to be an UNSUB.

I honestly feel like the whole Caroline plot line was absolutely pointless. PLUS a lot of my family died from ALS so I'm really picky about that subject. I just don't feel like it has any real baring on the show especially it was only what 2 or 3 episodes if I'm not mistaken. And he didn't even to seem to be dramatically effected by it, no absence from the show. I know they referenced that he had a bit of one.

I just think that anyone on the team, especially Hotch, having a relationship with anyone that's not in any kind of law enforcement is kind of a ridiculous notion. And even that has strain (JJ and Will, which oddly enough is one of the only love lives I fully support on screen). I just think this whole notion is ridiculous and unnecessary.

Really I think my only problem with any of them (I guess I'll say minus JJ) having a love interest onscreen is that I feel like focusing time on that it not only takes away from the cases but also the team dynamic, which is really what they need to be focusing on after the clusterf**k of last season. Little glimpses here and there should be fine but I don't really want them to make this a major point of any of the episodes.

Now let's see if they can surprise me. So I guess I agree with you one that it will all come down to how its written and played.
