I think I've said this before, but maybe just to you so what the heck. Mandy Patinkin is a very accomplished actor--when he isn't getting his diva on. Gideon was a fascinating character. I worried a bit about his departure. However, the team was strong enough to carry the show, even if they hadn't bothered to bring in Rossi, and I do like the ensemble feel of the show now. Rossi is growing on me, especially after his old case episode, but I'm really glad they made Hotch the team leader instead of bringing Rossi in above him. And Rossi still needs to meld into the team a little better. He's got a big ego and tends to grandstand a bit, in my opinion.

Course, if they wanted to tip in the favor of Reid-centric episodes, I wouldn't complain!
