With so many great characters, the ships are endless. My personal favorites are: Morgan/Garcia, Hotch/Rossi and Emily/Rossi. The episode, "About Face" not only did a great job of introducing Rossi's character, it established the fact that Hotch and Rossi have known each other for several years. While it was clear that Rossi and no intentions of wanting to lead the team, he really created friction within the team by stepping out of line a few times but in the end, I think even Hotch learned just how invaluable Rossi was to the team. Rossi isn't the type of guy to wear his heart on his sleeve but he does care.
I think the biggest difference between Hotch and Rossi is that Hotch is more of an idealist and Rossi is more of a realistic. What makes Rossi so interesting is the fact that he has such a huge ego but he isn't comfortable with the responsibilities that come with being a BAU icon. On several occasions, we've seen him question whether or not the books he's written have actually benefited anyone but in the end, Rossi seems to be all about teaching and I really think he's happy to share his experiences with anyone who asks about them.
I think my favorite Hotch/Rossi moment was in The Crossing, when Hotch and Rossi were discussing their failed marriages. While I don't believe that Rossi or Hotch will ever give up on the idea of being in love, they both have come to the realization that their job is a dealbreaker for a relationship. One thing that really made me fall in love with Hotch is the fact that he really did give 100% to his job and his marriage but Haley really wasn't the type of woman who supported him 100%. Hotch learned that he's not infallible to the hazards of the job and in some ways, the break up of his marriage humbled him.
