Wow, seriously so this is how they're gonna cut A.J. from the cast? They're not even gonna send her packing with a "I've made a decision to be with my husband & baby". Sorry Criminal Minds, not cool.
ReplyDeleteOh God! Does this mean JJ dies?
ReplyDeleteI hope not. And, while press releases and such can be misleading, saying the team "braces" for it, makes it sound like they know she's leaving early on. That it's not going to be unexpected. And to me, her dying would have to be unexpected. Not something they'd have time to try to brace for. So I'm guessing/hoping the loss means the loss of her as a teammate. Not the loss of her life. I could be wrong (which would suck) but her exit is also supposed to be "emotional" and "rewarding". JJ dying certainly would fit the emotional category, but I don't see how it could be rewarding.
ReplyDeleteNo, from all the buzz it's her walk-off episode but she's going to leave with dignity and grace (aka alive and supposedly without making herself look bad or weak).
