Why Criminal Minds is Breaking My Heart

Why Criminal Minds is Breaking My Heart
Wikipedia

Tis the season to catch some serial killers! That's right. Criminal Minds, one of my favorite TV shows of all time, had their season 12 premiere this past Wednesday and I have so many emotions about it. I'm happy to see my favorite team back in action, but it's also bittersweet because it will be one of the last times we see the one and only Aaron Hotchner or "Hotch" for short.

This is because over the summer, Thomas Gibson, the actor who plays Hotch allegedly got into an altercation with one of the show writers and was eventually fired from the show. This means leader of the BAU is on his way out the door which is heartbreaking to me. I know that Gibson shouldn't have done whatever he did to the writer and that it was out of line and unprofessional, but my heart breaks for the character on the show. Hotch has been a part of Criminal Minds since the very beginning and I simply can't imagine how him not being on the show is going to change the dynamic.

After Shemar Moore, the actor who played Derek Morgan, left the show at the end of last season I was equally heartbroken! Both Hotch and Morgan have come so far, lost so much, and have given 110% to everything the BAU does. Seeing them leave is hard.

I've seen every single episode of Criminal Minds. Every last one. I can honestly say that this show has some of the most well developed characters in TV history. Each of the agents have had their own struggles that they have dealt with and moved past. These characters don't fit neatly into the stereotypical archetypes you would imagine comes with a show like this. They are so much more dynamic that that.

Basically, Criminal Minds needs to stop breaking my heart for a season or two. I do wish Shemar and Thomas all the best in whatever they do and hopefully the new actors coming into the show will be able to fill those big shoes.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
