Honestly I agree with everything that's been said above-- Mandy Patinkin is probably the reason this show got off the ground so it stood to reason that while he was on it, he'd get more focus but I didn't find Gideon that interesting of a character.
He was likeable yes, but wasn't the most interesting thing about his interactions with the unsubs/Reid? Of course, I may be biased, but ntl.
Anyway I feel like giving Garcia and Emily and JJ and Morgan more screentime never hurts and it's not like Reid and Hotch were hurting for storylines in the first two seasons and because Gideon was older and used to the job and "set in his ways", I see this as the only possible way for his character to develop realistically, without becoming static and weighing down the show.
So, yeah. Definite plus, although I am just a neutral on Rossi. I guess every crime fighting team needs an old dude :P
