Yes, by all means give us Pen’s story, just what phenomenal thing did she do to get herself into a stew with the FBI. Is she now off the hook? Is the CIA still watching her? And she’s had plenty of tragedy in her past as well, does she have any communications with her biological father? So much stuff there to make a great story. Interjecting Morgan into the story would also be a plus, as they just have that special something always present between them. Maybe as a result of something heartbreaking re Penelope and her father.
Enough of Reid and Morgan’s back story, good as they are, that’s been covered dispreportionally to Pen and JJ & Hotch.

In reply to Maryh. I agree with you Mary. I was hoping that if they looked into JJ's past, they would find something that would make her more interesting. I, too, wish they would stick to the profiling and criminal development. I'm relieved to know that someone agrees with me about "Beth-the-Bore".

In reply to GemmaLee. I really do not like the new JJ since she came back to the show so my anticipation of S9 has been dimmed. I don't think the writers do backstories well at all and they should stick to the crimes and the profiling. I do however totally agree about Beth (YUK!) - no chemistry with TG at all. Lose her/

At the risk of “gushing”, I think the writing on this show has been first rate from day one (OK – maybe a few weak storylines, but you’re only human.) You’ve delved into the past of all the characters with great creativity. I always wanted to know more about JJ; but since you’re already doing that, a little bit of insight into Penelope’s past would be welcome. I have so many questions about her. Also, I realize that “Beth” is not a regular cast member and we don’t want to waste any more time on her than we already have (YUK!); but could you “geniuses” figure out a way to send her packing and cast someone who would spark with TG? Am I the only one who thinks he could do so much better.?

I’m happy for them to delve into each characters past just as long as they don’t do that horrible mullet hairstyle they gave Reid in the flashback episode. I would want to see Garcia’s past the most.

I’d rather like to have finally a Derek Morgan – Undercoverstory. It’s about Time for that.
