Never in my life have I wanted to punch someone through the screen more than Barnes.
Congratulations to Kim Rhodes. I never thought it was possible but she really made me hate her character.
Every single time she appeared on acne I just wanted to punch her in the face. Her actions make no damn sense. She claims to want to restructure the team in order to make it better but instead she's dismantling it with stupid reasons such as "This needs to be done faster. If I do something that endangers someone and the killer is put down its your fault because it takes long for the process to work". Or my favourite " Rossi spends too much time with his family. That shows how little he cares about his job". That's just pathetic.
The case was interesting, though. A bit easier to solve but it served it's purpose. Reed's behaviour was weird and pretty reckless but that was the writers' way to bring Emily back just in time for the bad news to come.
I loved how each one of the members rolled their eyes like saying "Can you believe her?". You could feel their emotions and how eager were they to punch her in the face. The only thing Barnes wants is to get a better job. She has good contacts and everyone does what she says. I can't believe that someone agreed with her in saying that the case was the team's fault.
I think we all know this isn't going to be the end of the team and theyretmakinv it way too easy for us to hate Barnes with all we've got, but I don't see the point of the witch hunt. Yeah, they've made some mistakes but Barnes isn't holding on to them. She's giving stupid ideas to make a name for herself by hurting others.
I love Kim Rhodes and every character that she plays. This gotta be the only exception. Never would I've thought I'd hate Zack and Cody's mom so much.
I hate how powerful Barnes is, this is bad!
This was probably the most frustrating episode I ever saw! Damn, I felt like strangling Barnes myself! What a b***!!!
Well, they did cast the actress who portrays Linda Barnes really well. She is really good at making me loatheeee the character!
I would not hate an episode where this lady gets kidnapped and tortured tbh.
This is reminding me of when Strauss temporarily inserted herself onto the team during Hotch's investigation. At least Strauss was somewhat likable as a "villain". Jody Mills--er, I mean, Linda Barnes is just insufferable.
Reid walking out was just an excuse to have him talk with Prentiss. He didn't walk away when Strauss was questioning Hotch and Rossi, and he wouldn't just turn his back on victims like that. Out of character and cheap way to get him off the case.
Wow, WTF? I don't even know what to say about that...

This last season has surprised and entertained me immensely after several seasons where I just wanted it to end. Good job on the writers and actors cause I'm wanting to see (a bit) more.
i love Spencer and Emily's relationship so much i wanna cry:weary:
Boring! Boring! Boring! Boring! I don't know how producers waste so much time focusing on useless politics instead of staying on the content that matters.
God she makes me really miss Strauss
Another episode ruined by the asshat writer hacks bringing in that bullshit desk jockey.
But then I guess that's realism since Obama stuffed all the government institutions with useless far left beuraucrats loyal to the party.
Barnes is like a more ambitious Erin Strauss. FBI bitch 2.0
