CRIMINAL MINDS SSA Derek Morgan has changed 
over the past eight years, but still has to be the sexiest
FBI agent ever. How would you like him to investigate

we still don't know for sure will be coming back. Joe 
Mantegna (David Rossi), and others associated with the

CRIMINAL MINDS ~ JJ's "Special" Relationship? ~AJ Cook

AJ Cook's CRIMINAL MINDS character,

Jennifer "JJ" Jareau has a special

relationship with one of her team members

the actress said to TV Guide.

Is it Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) who

she helped go into hiding and played online

Scrabble with while she was in exile?

Is it Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) who

has always seems a little sweet on her. If so,

what of her man, Will LaMontagne?

Or could it be Joe Mantegna's character, David Rossi,

who brought her back from a State Department job

to be a profiler with the team.

Or could it be our own Derek Morgan (SHEMAR MOORE).

Hum?

TV Guide gave us this spoiler ~

I hear JJ has a big episode coming up on CRIMINAL MIND? True?

TV GUIDE: Yep for the first time, JJ will spar with an unsub.
But JJ's combat skills won't be the only new info you'll get

about her. "You'll find out she has an interesting - I guess that's

the right word - with one of the other team members," AJ Cook

tells us. "It's kind of eye-opening. I'm curious to see

what the fans think."

Good & Bad News for Morgan Fans ~ CRIMINAL MINDS

CRIMINAL MINDS ~ "25 to Life"

coming on January 4.

Morgan aids a man who seems to have been rehabilitated

get paroled, only to regret it when he commits another murder.

BTW, Morgan (SHEMAR MOORE) looks so damn

hot when he's angry. OMG, Derek!

"The Big Sea" airs on December 28.

The discovery of bodies buried on the ocean floor in

Jacksonville, FL prompts a BAU investigation, and one of

the victims may be Derek's missing cousin.

Nice insight into Morgan and his family, and an

episode which illustrates the friendship between Morgan

and Rossi. (Joe Mantegna)

Okay, the bad news. There isn't going to

be a new episode of "Criminal Minds" until

"True Genius" on January 18.

But the good news is we have these

two amazing Morgan episodes coming up.

Both are worth seeing again if you're a SHEMAR fan.

think that Joe was the model for the statue.
