Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3, Episode 4 Made Me Miss Original BAU Character More
Although Criminal Minds: Evolution offers a host of familiar characters and intriguing new adversaries, it sometimes seems incomplete. With several key cast members departing from the original Criminal Minds series early on, it’s unrealistic to expect all beloved characters to return. Characters like Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) and Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), who have passed away or left the bureau respectively in the show’s continuity, along with Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), and Matthew Simmons (Daniel Henney) who had unexpected exits, are deeply missed. Despite the tight-knit cast of Criminal Minds: Evolution functioning smoothly, there are instances that remind us how essential some characters truly were.
