Regarding Elephant's Memory

[gershwhen.livejournal.com]

Hey, just finished watching a rerun of Elephant's Memory and I have a question and then a point for discussion.

1.  Who is the guy who gives Reid his one year coin?  Are we supposed to know who he is as a character?  Or was he a guest cameo?

2.  Does anyone else get the feeling that the team was too hard on Reid in this episode?  I sometimes think that Morgan is allowed to get upset and punch doors, Hotch can go back to work with a hearing impairment or after he is almost murdered and they are cut a lot of slack.  Yet Reid is considered in the wrong every time he tries to define what this kid has been through and points out the that the adults should have done more.  Is it just me?

Remember as well, Morgan was called on his attitude in Lo-Fi when he was getting bitchy with Joyner (?) about not putting the team out on the streets to help catch the unsubs. He was basically told to take a walk, and we were never shown whether Hotch actually dressed him down about it (unless it was during the drive home); and Elle was reprimanded for her attitude during the Lee case.
