Because I have way too much time on my hands ;)

I made a list about how many episodes with the death of the Unsub.

The statistics came out like this:

6 times an unsub was shot or otherwise injured, but survived (for example in Derailed)
43 times the unsub was arrested normally, without major injury
37 times at least one unsub was killed (this covers cases even when there were more than one unsub and only one was killed like in The Tribe)
2 times unsubs escaped at the end of the episode

Out of the deaths

13 Unsubs were killed by BAU members
12 Unsubs were killed by unrelated persons, from bystanders (random truck driver in Paradise) to family members of the victims (Hell and Back)or fellow criminals (Honor Amongst Thieves)
8 Unsubs were killed by Swat teams or Cops of the Week
0 Unsubs were killed directly by a victim (in Open Season I presume that the younger brother survived)
9 Unsubs committed suicide

Of the BAU related deaths we have at 2 kills:

Hotch
- Catching out (train jumping killer, shoots him while killer fights with Morgan on a moving train)
- The Tribe
ETA: Might also have been the shooter in Real Rain

Though Hotch also fired at unsubs and injured them in Compulsion and in Psychodrama (there might be more, but I'm sketchy on the injuries only; so I could be missing non lethal shots fired for a bunch of characters).

Elle:
- Aftermath (Elle's sketchy shooting of the rapist)
- Extreme Aggressor (Pilot episode)

Reid
- LDSK
- Revelations

In Legacy, Hotch, Morgan and Reid were all seen shooting and it was unclear who fired the lethal shot.

At three kills we have
Morgan
- Lessons Learned (terrorist on the roof of the mall)
- Charm and Harm (shoots killer who fights victim in the water)
- Open Season (shoots second unsub while he attempts to shoot victim with a bow and arrow)

With 1 we have:

JJ (Penelope)
Rossi (About Face)
Emily (Lo-Fi)

Apparently season 2 was the deadliest (12 deaths), followed by 4 (10 deaths), 1 (8 deaths) and 3 (7 deaths). Though it has to be pointed out that 3 was also the shortest season with only 20 episodes.

Yes, it's very possible that my list is riddled with mistakes ;) But I hope I was able to give a rough impression.

...How crazy does it make me then if I think those are both epic ideas?

Heh, maybe several people were doing it together? Like everybody gets assigned a bunch of episodes to look it, so not one person has to do all the rewatching? Though wouldn't there be major disagreements of what constitutes a significant moment (like "Hotch gives Morgan a really intense stare" or "Morgan doesn't want to leave the room during a Reid scene" or "Hotch and Prentiss spend a lot of time driving together in a car" or at what point does an intense convo about an unsub constitute a moment?)?

It's odd. I actually really dislike ship quarrels, but I think it would be very interested how many lets say personal conversation or A saves B moments a pairing gets (for example, has Reid had more personal conversations with Gideon or with Hotch? Has Emily had more with Rossi or with Morgan?) or even just how they distribute across a season "season X was a really good season for Character A/relationship B/friendship C".

I would totally help out if you decide to set something up. I've got season one on DVD and all kinds of work procrastination abilities!

I would totally love to be involved in a project like that! The relationships between all the characters just make the show so engaging, and while I honestly don't ship any of the characters together at all (aside from the 'canon' ships, like Garcia/Kevin and JJ/Will, because they make JJ and Garcia HAPPY) I'd still totally love to tackle something like that.
I just graduated university and don't have a full time job yet or anytime soon so I totally have the free time for it!

Hehe, go for it ! :)

Watching some of the older episodes, it made me think that it would be very fascinating to have a statistical breakdown of which characters "team up" the most. (like "Prentiss and Hotch do a double interrogation" or "Morgan and Reid crack the computer password together").

I really wish CM had one of those obsessively maintained wikis like Lost or Star Trek. *goes off to search*
