First things first: Thank goodness CBS heeded fans' cries and brought about the return of A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster after their untimely exit last season. Cook gave us the inside track on what fans could expect (well, what she was allowed to reveal) and if you're like me you weren't disappointed by " It Takes A Village ."
The premiere finds the BAU team scattered about the globe, disrupting the chemistry that makes them the most (imaginary) badass team of agents on the planet. Hotch - looking damn fine with a little scruff - returns from Pakistan to inform the team that Prentiss is, in fact, energetic and it's like all the air was sucked right out of that room. Garcia's shock ("She's packed?!?") was beyond endearing, even though it took Morgan and Reid a little longer to absorb the news.
Moments like these are what primetime television viewers live for.
