season 4 wishes

[a_blackpanther]

The season premiere is just around the corner and the promos and the tidbits of information we've been getting make me wish that we'd get a new ep every day instead of every week.

But, what do you want to see this season? Which open storylines should be completed first? Whose background do you want to know more about? What would you like to see in season 4?

...More of Emily and her background. I want to know *why* she compartmentalizes better than anyone else. I'd also like to see more scenes with her and Hotch in it, because they make an awesome team. And scenes with her, Reid & Morgan causing trouble around the bullpen. Geeks rock!

I'd like to see a bit less about Morgan and religion. It's a weird storyline that annoyed me in season 3. And i'd like to see more of the witty and sexy banter between him and Penelope. It went away at the end of last season. Hopefully Hotch and Haley won't get back together. And can we see more of New York? It's a fabulous city!

I'd like to see them fail once or twice; maybe not in compiling the profile but when catching the unsub.

Don't know if it'd be authentic, or within budget, but a trip abroad to assist a foreign investigation would be interesting.

As I love watching them interview suspects and using their pyschological techniques to open them up, I'd like more of this.

As for backgrounds, I want to know more about Prentiss and her mother. How did Prentiss get where she is today? From goth chick to FBI, it would make a good story. I would also like to know more about Hotch. We know his past is pretty dark, but I want details! And not just added in here and there, flashbacks would be great.

I'd absolutely love it if they did a cross over episode with NCIS. I think it would be amazing to see Penelope and Abby work together.

Good question! :)

Like you, I'd like to know more about Emily, and I think the writers are planning to delve into her character a little more in S.4, so, yay!

I completely agree on the Derek/Penelope banter thing too - Kevin Lynch's appearance kind of ruined all that. It's nice to see her happy and in a relationship, but it ruined the dynamic with Derek.

And YES, more playing around geek-style, with Derek, Emily, and Reid. Something along the lines of Reid's physics magic scene, all over again. And more team moments - everyone relaxing for a while, enjoying each other's company.

I'd also like to see more on Hotch's background. There's so much more to come; he's such a complex character. If they even hint at him getting back with Haley, I'm going to get very, very ticked off (along with most CM fans, I'd like to think)...

I agree with Emily backstory. That'd be lovely. That said, I'd love to see an ep (or set of eps) where we get to see why each profiler chose the BAU. It's not an easy unit. While we know the Reid was recruited, why did the others choose the BAU over other postings?

I'd love more small snippets of the BAU crew off duty. We got some great Garcia moments last season, so it'd be great to see what Hotch is doing with his spare time now that he's divorce or see Morgan working on fixing up the houses or see Emily on a date. I love the crime procedural aspect of the show, but I also love the small personal moments that slip in.

From crime aspect, I'd love to see more variety in the BAU investigations. While over the past 3 seasons we've seen serial rapists and arsonists (and terrorists?), I know that the real BAU also investigates corruption, communicated threats, and crimes against children. It'd be fun to see the unit go undercover for a corruption case.

Whew, that's a lot a wishes!

- Reid having actual storylines instead of being continually victimized
- Hotch/Emily hints, if not some kind of guilty in-office affair. Not that I ship them particularly, I just think it would be an interesting mistake for both characters to make.
- Garcia/Morgan, ALWAYS

Definitely more of Emily, where is her father?

And more of JJ's background, I think she might be the most interesting of them all.

Why was David Rossi married three times? I thought he didnt like to fail. Why wasnt he in photos from ep 2 and 3...I fear for his character.

Garcia is always made of win.....more of Kevin Lynch and definitely more flirting with Morgan.

I love the idea of more hanging out in the bullpen being geeks, just more interactions with the BAU as people and not just profilers. We dont need too much of their personal lives but it would be nice not to just see despicable human beings for an hour.

Did I mention more Emily? Yes, more more more. And more scenes with Emily and Hotch so Ic an have screencaps, icons and fantasies....I mean, oh hell I meant fantasies : )

As much as I love Reid, a bit more torture for the other characters too please and less focus on Reid only.

And I want more background on the girls, especially Prentiss.

It'll be interesting to see how they work JJ's replacement into that. I hope they don't focus too much on her, as JJ will be coming back, won't she?

I'd like to see a consistent backstory for Hotch (and they'd better not forget that he has a brother, even if Sean is an annoying prat), a lot less of JJ and Garcia's hangers-on, an open investigation that runs, or has run, over a very long period of time...

More of Erin Strauss (~ducks and hides~).

Prentiss backstory.

Some of the team's teaching or research/publishing work.

And a throwaway reference to the guy 'down the hall' who takes on the really weird cases would make my year!

I'd like to see more about JJ and Prentiss

I used to include Garcia too, but Kevin is getting on my last nerve. No more! Please!

and the Reid stuff. OK. I get it. People like Reid. I respect that. But must we ALL endure story after story about him? How about we treat this show like the ensemble it is??
