Okay unneccesary

Did anyone else think that Reid getting shot was irrelevant to the plot of this show? Now I'm all for a good Reid whumping, but geez, the season opener and he's already hurt?? Do the writers just hate him?

The actor, Matthew Gray Gubler, hurt his knee pretty spectacularly before the season started to film. He needed an excuse to be off his feet for a BUNCH of episodes (the actor just finished his 3rd? knee surgery and was unable to put weight on his leg for about 4 months or so).

If you look carefully at 5.01, you'll notice Reid was never shown standing- because MGG was already injured at the time :)

So, yeah- not exactly the plan to write Reid as injured in the season opener.
