Potentially unpopular opinion, now that Brewster is gone too, I kinda wish the entire CM cast would quit CM, and then meet up again in a comedy show. I just don't know what. Bunnies anyone?

ETA: What happened:
- CBS kicked Paget out
- Fans revolt
- CBS forced Paget to come back, because of the contract...
- Now that Paget's contract is up, she will leave.


...and wow, 121 comments, I thought this was unshocking news, ouch my inbox. I wish Paget the best.

ETA: On the subject of awesome female characters and actresses, but terrible terrible bosses...any of you Star Trek TNG fans here? Remember when Dr.Crusher all of a sudden got replaced before the collective outrage of fans and Patrick Stewart speaking on Gates McFadden's behalf got her back? The rumoured cause of her leaving was that she refused to sleep with one of the producers - a rumor given merit since Grace Lee Whitney (Janice Rand, TOS), was assaulted by two producters she didn't feel comfortable naming, before HER character was given the sudden-off. Ditto for the career of the actress in The Birds, Tippi Hedren, she signed a 7 contract with Hitchcock, who used it to keep her from working after she refused him. The BS that actresses have to put up with and all the things thrown at them is deplorable. If I stopped watching Criminal Minds after Paget leaves, it will less because of No Emily (though I will miss her so), but because of WHY she left. It's a sour taste in my mouth accented by the last weekk's episode, where Garcia thought something sexual happened between her and Morgan even though she was so drunk she couldn't remember any of it, and the writer is unaware of the unfortunate implication of.

Curious...what would your (I am assuming here that you did, so if I am wrong forgive me) time you put in to trying to get her back be worth to you? 2 seasons? 3? I am just curious because the way I look at it it DID get her back for a WHOLE other season that might not have happened had it not been for the fans. It's not her fault that the storyline's she has been in haven't been that great. In all honesty the writers should have known that she was probably going to be leaving when she could get out and created better storylines for her last season. If I am disappointed at anyone it's the creators of the show for failing to create captivating storyline's for her last year. If you say 'Well, it's her last season so the writers didn't care about her character' that's completely fair too, but that's not Paget's fault. Who knows, maybe if the writing had picked up she wouldn't have wanted to leave (not likely but throwing it out there).

I didn't put any time into trying to get her back because I came into the show after it had been announced she was returning but if I had, two would have been nice.

Yah I get it's more about the writing and show sucking... just frustrated over it all.
