Plus, with almost 400 episodes to go through, it gets even trickier.
Choose your weapon, it’s go time!
What’s With Spencer’s Leg?
It’s not uncommon for television shows and movies to accommodate real-life situations the actors are going through.
In other scenarios, it’s just impossible to hide it.
That’s exactly what happened at the beginning of season five when Dr. Spencer was shot in the leg.
you might’t Spell Criminal Minds Without…Penelope?
Undoubtedly, one of the best characters in the whole show is the hacker extraordinaire Penelope Garcia.
Even within the confines of the FBI, some warmth is always appreciated.
Can you imagine that?
After fifteen years, it’s impossible to imagine it going any differently.
As it turns out, we have a lot to thank the actors playing Garcia and Morgan for.
Dr. Spencer’s Mind
Matthew Gray Gubler’s character is quite a complex one.
Throughout the course of the show, we learned that the man is a true genius.
Plus, he has Bachelor’s Degrees in Psychology and Sociology.
Impressive doesn’t even begin to cover it!
This last one makes even more sense once we remember that Spencer’s mother is actually schizophrenic herself.
Look At J.J’s Kids
Being an actor does come with a fair share of challenges.
Well, inCriminal Minds,this really wasn’t a problem.
At least not for A.J.
Cook, who was blessed enough to have her own kids portray her character’s children.
Derek’s Got It!
If you need anyone who’s an expert in defusing bombs, then he is your guy.
Penelope Behind Bars
Sure, Derek’s backstory is pretty interesting.
What can we say, some people simply have the calling!
One person who didn’t have the calling, however, was our girl Penelope Garcia.
Garcia was a hacker who managed to enter the FBI’s database.
They caught her and gave her a choice between facing federal prison or working for the bureau.
Guess which one she chose?
What’s In A First Name?
We don’t know what’s with professional environments and people calling each other by their last names.
And such is the case forCriminal Mindsbecause they do nothing but follow rules.Well, sometimes.
The only agents to be called by their first name are Kate Callahan and Elle Greenaway.
Whatever works for them, as long as the closed cases keep on coming.
Letters, Letters, Letters
As we’ve mentioned before, Spencer’s mother is schizophrenic.
This is why the character writes his mother a letter every single day.
Heavy stuff, but hey - that’s Spencer.
