What do you think? Do you watch Criminal Minds? Are you glad Brewster is returning?
I also hope they make her character a regular for this series and become more imaginative in how to fulfill the fan’s desires.
I hope the studio realizes how stupid it was to fire her in the first place. I still like the show, but the best years were seasons 2-7. It’s never been the same.
My sentiment precisely. She is my HERO!
Agreed! Prentiss and Beckett have been two of the best female characters, and both treated horribly by their studios due to “budget cuts.” Very sad.
I’ve seen female characters treated worse, but I doubt and most would care since their skin isn’t fair. They had it better than some I’ve seen. I don’t like Prentiss though.
Actually, I do care, no matter what color their skin is. These just happen to be two of my favorites.
