Do you believe in Harry?
When fans asked about Thomas Gibson&#039;s absence, he replied that everything was fine and that there had been an exchange of chairs.
Good Lucky!]]></description>

For Cinderella
Freedom of expression is the right of any individual to freely express opinions, ideas and personal thoughts.
It is a fundamental concept in modern democracies in which censorship has no moral support.
Freedom of expression is a human right protected by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948.
&quot;&quot; Every human being has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas by any means and regardless of frontiers. &quot;
Now tell me:
WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS? TO SAY WHAT SHOULD I WRITE.
I do not care if you like it or not.
Did not like it? 
I do not care!
That&#039;s my opinion and I express it where you see fit.
I&#039;m not asking anyone to stop watching Criminal Minds.
This is happening naturally !!!
Hugs!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[1. I apologize for taking up discussion room by engaging with those displaying troll-like behaviors. I&#039;m done now, promise.


2. Thanks for this! People are panicking, but I just don&#039;t see reason to. Shemar had said before he left that he was likely going to do son. As far as I know, Matthew hasn&#039;t said anything of the sort. Given that, and Harry&#039;s comments in response to the episode title, I think people are working themselves up for no reason.


ALTHOUGH. I am very, very concerned about Diana&#039;s fate in the coming episodes. Not everyone has left in an episode titled after them, but the situations have rarely been what you&#039;d call overwhelmingly happy ones. :/]]></description>

It was a little difficult to decipher your word salad, but I&#039;ll attempt to address a few points. 

Thomas was put in the forefront because it was natural for him as unit chief. Mandy&#039;s departure left folks scrambling, and the writers did what they could.(Also, calling someone &quot;overrated&quot; in an insult. You probably don&#039;t want to refer to someone you support as such.) 

There have indeed been many logical issues in this show, especially when it comes to the casting of female characters. This was due largely to sexism at CBS. Both AJ Cook and Paget Brewster were dismissed at will. But that was not the show&#039;s fault. The writers did what they could.

On new characters: A. Tara was on the team well before Shemar left. That&#039;s part of the revolving door of actresses: see Blake, Kate, Jordan, etc. But again, that&#039;s CBS and their sexism. B. So the only characters brought on the wake of Shemar&#039;s departure was Alvez, who was brought on before Thomas was fired. If you don&#039;t like him, fine. If you&#039;re not watching, you don&#039;t need to see him. C. Prentiss was brought on to fill the role of unit chief, which needed filling. As Paget had already slated a guest starring role before Thomas was fired, she was a natural choice. D. And the newest character? I&#039;d have preferred 7 team members over 8, but I&#039;m willing to give him a chance. 

Matthew and the other actors certainly seem happy, based on their comments on Twitter. Matthew has been given time off so he can do other things and still keep filming. As someone who follows many of the actors on social media, I know they see eachother as a family. They don&#039;t seem bitter over their screentime, and I am mature enough to respect them. Shemar wanted to leave, and he did. If the others wanted to leave, they could. At the moment, I have no reason to think they&#039;d want to. They haven&#039;t said so, and they have the time between seasons to film other projects. 

Paget was angry because CBS treated her terribly. She came back because she loved her family on the show. She already guest-starred before, so we know the grudge didn&#039;t bar her ever appearing again. Her return doesn&#039;t make her complains about CBS&#039;s sexism any less valid.

Finally, you seem to have disliked the show for a while, And so I say, again, this is not the right place for you. The internet is a vast empire, and there are plenty of places to complain. It is completely fine to not watch. It is less fine to interject yourself into every discussion continuing fans would like to have.

If the show is renewed for a partial season and ends after that one? Fine. I am not trying to prove a point in whether it is renewed or not. The show has been on for more than a decade. Even under perfect circumstances, it would likely be cancelled soon. I&#039;m sure the cast and crew are aware of that. I&#039;m not trying to save their jobs or anything- I simply think rooting for the relationship they&#039;ve had for 12 years to be brought to an end sooner than it might have to because of circumstances they had no control over and that they have been hurt by, too, is childish. 

So, if what you&#039;re looking for here is to win, then by all means, you win. The show will likely ends soon. The talented folk involved will do other things. Good for you. My point was only ever to point out that your complaints belonged elsewhere. If I cannot make myself clear, I admit defeat.]]></description>

After the departure of Mandy Patinkin immediately Thomas Gibson was overrated.
Producers, CBS, ABC relied on their talent to bring the Show forward.
After the departure of Thomas Gibson did not see anyone on the show with the ability to take the show forward?
Joe would be an excellent supervisor.
JJ who worked as public relations / media in the past would be a great supervisor.
Instead they hired Prentiss to be the supervisor.
If they wanted to put a woman in charge, just put JJ.
Even though Thomas Gibson being dismissed, I feel that the producers, CBS, ABC continue to value his talent.
We can see by hiring 3 more actors to cover the absence of Thomas Gibson and 1 actor to replace Shemar, which in my view this far from fulfilling it.
Do you think MGG happy to be supporting actor on the show that he is from the beginning? With all the talent he has? MGG can be whatever he wants ... (Designer, actor, writer, director) Holywood is waiting for him.]]></description>

Criminal minds is a matter of time to finish.
These are bad and repeated stories.
Thank the program&#039;s low audience for producers.
They knew what was going to happen.
Who do you like the cast?
Aj, Matthew, Kirsten, Joe?
Why did the producers not give credibility to the talent of Aj, Matthew, Joe and Kirsten?
Do not they have the talent to move on?
The show is considered very expensive by CBS and ABC.
They hired 4 more actors!
Prentiss has not been part of the show since the seventh season.
In an interview she said she hates CBS.
And Prentiss comes back after saying that?
Let&#039;s hope CBS does not end its career as well.
I believe that the series will be renewed for the 13 season, but will be equal to CSI with 7 episodes or less and still runs the risk of changing the show&#039;s display on the day of the week.
Sorry Cinderella. Wake up!]]></description>
