Just a quick note.
I have been following Criminal Minds this season (while faithfully avoiding Bones and The Mentalist and I do NOT miss those shows) and honestly, this season of CM has been pretty good. Not season 5 good but a vats improvement on season 6 and 7. The characters are rather interesting, the storylines are good and Shemar is as nice as always. And Jeanne Tripplehorn has been awesome as Alex Blake. I knew I´d like Blake the instant she came on and I just love her charactrer, She´s quick, smart and honest and has a very nice vibe about her. She´s independent, not too girly and grounded. Her characters has been very interesting to watch in my opinion and I love her interactions with the team, particularly Reed.
She is a nice change from JJ and Garcia and brings a fresh face to the series I really enjoy. And one of the good things about her is the fact that she is not portrayed as "sexy" or "hot". I am not saying Jeanne Tripplehorn isn´t beautiful because she is. It´s just so refreshing to see a female character being portrayed as an indepent and tough woman without the sexy factor. Her looks are unimportant and that´s something I really enjoy (and something I´d love to see in the characters of Kate Beckett and Kensi Blye as well).
I am looking forward to seeing how they will continue to develope Alex Blake as a character but currently she is awesome and I hope she will continue to be so.
