Because I'm curious like that

In spirit of the show hopefully coming back soon :) CM really made me realize how many great potential ships there are that I never would have thought about till I found fandom.

So wondered, do you ship?
If yes:
What's your favorite CM ship? (even if you have more, which is the one that truly has your heart)
At what point did it win you over?
Which episode(s) do you think best represents your ship?
Out of the people involved in your ship, which one did you fall in love with first?

another non-shipper here. maybe because i'm not the most romantic person in the first place, but i sometimes find it annoying how people seem to want to pair fictional characters up, especially in works that aren't primarily about relationships in the first place. in the case of criminal minds, i think it would be disastrous for any two members of the team to become romantically involved with each other because it would wreak havoc on the team dynamic. i certainly do recognize that these seven people care about each other deeply, but not in any romantic sense, and in fact, in some respects i think the relationship they have surpasses any romantic/sexual one.

I agree, I think it would be bad for the team and mess with the balance of the show if they did a couple. I actually think the show had handled it rather well. The few things they did they kept subtle and unrealized (JJ/Reid and Morgan/Garcia got to the point where it might have been at the brink of something, they defused the situation gracefully by bringing on Kevin).

I actually think that the outside relationships can be kind of neat (like all the episodes where both JJ and Hotch have to agnonize over whether or not to tell their families about a certain threat), but it works because we don't see those outside characters like Kevin or Will or Haley in every episode. They are there and occasionally add some depth but they don't take over.
