Gosh, answer this or don't answer this? Here's my answer: I don't want ANY of the major characters to leave from my favorite show. If they wanted to kill Strauss or Anderson I'd be fine with it (though I don't really hate Strauss, she's just an annoyance these days). But since they're writing two of the strongest, most realistic and sympathetic female characters on TV out of Criminal Minds over the next season, I guess this question has been answered for me by the bastards at CBS.
Before season four I might have been okay with writing JJ out of the show, but her maternity leave (and subsequent failed attempt at replacing her) just made me love her so much more. And as for Prentiss... Well, I've said before that I have never identified so strongly with a character on television. A woman who is strong, self-confident and yet oddly vulnerable, someone who's bad at romantic relationships, has a deep faith in God but resents the human dictates of the church, someone who has personal honor and integrity (to the point that she resigned rather than rat out her boss) and sucks at politics, someone who is a self-confessed nerd and actually dresses like I do even...
Well, you've all seen my posts about Criminal Minds and Prentiss. I don't think it's a secret how much I love Emily Prentiss.
I guess if I could drop a character from my favorite TV show, it would be the unnamed female character who will be "replacing" JJ and Emily in Season Six. Because I'm pretty sure that no matter how much I try, I'll never like her the way I have loved Emily Prentiss.
