Line 10:
** [[Badass Beard]]: Only in "It Takes a Village". The fandom consensus seems to be that he should grow it back.
*** Apparently others associated with the show liked it, too: a brief clip of the [[Badass Beard]] is shown in the Season 7 opening credits.
** [[Badass Bookworm]]: Collected coins as a kid, grew up to be a prosecutor, then took an apparent [[Took a Level Inin Badass|level in badass]] and joined SWAT and then the elite unit of the BAU at the Bureau.
** [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]
* [[Break the Cutie]]
Line 145:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Poor kid. Mommy's schizophrenic and Dad abandoned everyone. Biggest brain in the room and usually the one targeted physically by the serial killers.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: First with his own father, and then with his ''father figure'', Gideon.
* [[Fan Wank]]: In an in-universe example, Reid has a tendency to bore his colleagues with rants about the specs of the [[Star Wars|Death Star]], whether [[Bill and Ted]] is a ripoff of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', and the nature and frequency of science errors in the original ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]''.
* [[Flanderization]]: We all know that athletics are not Reid's strong suit, but failing EVERYTHING involving physical exertion (marksmanship, physical training, the obstacle course, Hogan's Alley, etc) at the Academy? It's a little extreme and it begs the question of how he not only passed the Academy, but continues to pass his field qualifications.
* [[Geek Physiques]]: The skinny kind. Probably as a result of [[Forgets to Eat]].
Line 202:
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Holy ''shit'' his classmates in his [[Backstory]]. See [[Prank Date]] above, and keep in mind he would've been ''at most'' '''''twelve'''''.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Three [[Ph Ds]], one of them in engineering, check. Difficulty with guns (at least, in "LDSK"), check. Prefers to talk people down rather than risk shoot-outs, check. [[Badass Bookworm]], check.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: A few over the course of the show, but a spectacular one in "It Takes a Village".
{{quote|'''Interviewer''': Now, calm down, Agent--
'''Reid''': [[Criminal Minds/Awesome|This is calm and it's]] ''[[Criminal Minds/Awesome|Doctor]]''. }}
Line 268:
** She was even more screwed than usual: Cook wasn't let go because of ratings or a dispute with the cast or crew; she was let go because CBS was pinching pennies to make a spinoff (which failed) and was too cheap to renew her contract.
* [[The Danza]]: Subverted. Although A.J. Cook jokes that the character was named JJ so she'd be able to remember it (being a blonde), the producers swear they came up with the name before Cook was cast.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: ''Four'' over the course of the show.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Will and Henry seem to appear and disappear in continuity [[Depending on the Writer]].
 
Line 315:
* [[Ship Tease]]: For a series that is strictly [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] among the main cast, she gets quite a bit with both Reid and Morgan
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Her response to going "undercover" in "52 Pickup".
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Sure, we always knew Prentiss was badass, but in her Doyle story arc she suddenly becomes a superspy when she {{spoiler|turns out to have been an undercover operative for Interpol; over the course of her final episodes she winds up going rogue, staring at the door all night with her gun out, tossing grenades into unsubs' cars and spraying them with machine-gun fire, and shooting hood rats in the ear. To say nothing of her badass change in wardrobe at the end of "Valhalla".}}
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: The {{spoiler|scarification shamrock}} inflicted by Doyle seems to have magically disappeared.
* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?|When You Coming Home Mom]]: While it's never really confirmed, Emily Prentiss does not have a good relationship with her mother, and has implied numerous times that Ambassador Prentiss was neglectful toward her (most notably in "Honor Amongst Thieves", when she's surprised the Ambassador would go to her, and in "Demonology", {{spoiler|when she says her mother "would have killed" her if she'd found out Emily was pregnant and had an abortion}}).
