1. NCIS, when Jenny was still around if just for the hilarity of watching her and Strauss going at it. Battle of the hard-asses.

2. Before Criminal Minds, NCIS was the only other show I watched regularly because the characters were just so askance from the typical crime drama--also the teams share a similar family dynamic with Gibbs and Jenny being "mom and dad" and the rest of the team falling under the category of "the rambunctious kids." As far as interaction, I can see there being a lot of unintentional profiling and good natured teasing going around. Hotch and Emily hate politics and do what they can in a case to subvert it, while in a lot of ways the NCIS team has a lot of their tactics dictated by it. Garcia and Abby would bond like long-lost sisters and Tony would enjoy hitting on JJ and Emily until he found out JJ was married and Emily would kick his ass as readily as Ziva. Emily and Ziva would bond over their childhoods spent abroad. Rossi and Gibbs over their (failed) marriages. Hotch would keep his distance at first, but with the opportunity to be badass with Gibbs, warm up rather quickly. The presence of 'two Garcias' would weird him out a bit. Morgan would dismiss Tony until they had a door kicking contest and find the other of equal prowess. McGee and Reid would geek the hell out together, especially after Reid realizes, moments after meeting him that 'Timothy McGee' anagrams to 'Thom E. Gemcity.'

3. The case would take place in Langley, Virginia.

4. The CIA director from Secrets and Lies isn't as dead as everyone thought, and he's out for a little revenge. Without Gideon there, he's focusing his rage on the military in general and funding what appear to be serial murders of military personal, some of which are navy, which his how the two teams meet. It's a cover for the original plan that went bust though, and he's really just trying to cash in again with terrorists.

5 & 6) Garcia and Abby (because they'd be attached at the hip anyway) Morgan and McGee and Tony and Reid (the grass is always greener on the other side) Emily and Gibbs (I imagine Gibbs as a slightly younger Rossi in a number of ways) and Hotch, Rossi and Jenny would be base of operations, because if ever there was a trifecta of bad-assery, it's that. (Whenever Jenny isn't dealing with Strauss, and Hotch's snark would be epic.)

7. With that much concentrated awesome, they'd catch the guy, of course!

8. A few of the CIA people from Secrets and Lies would be back, possibly as victims, and Gibb's old boss knows Rossi, and shows up when he hears the BAU is in his old neck of the woods.

9. What would the opening quote to the case be, and who, from either team would deliver it?

Gibbs: John LeCarr once said, "Love is whatever you can still betray ... Betrayal can only happen if you love."

that sounds awesome. i can just imagine Jenny v. Strauss, round 83. and then Tony and Reid would be hilarious together. Tony would be quoting the movies and Reid would be like, ...? maybe Tony would head slap Reid. i just thing someone would head slap Reid. or maybe i want to see him get angry just once.

i can also see Gibbs and Rossi being all serious and like, can't make it work. you neither, huhn?

and yes, Emily would do something horrible to Tony. i can just imagine. maybe Timmy would get a thing for Garcia. and Morgan would be like, oh no you don't.

ah. what i wouldn't give for this to occur.
