JJ coming back to Criminal Minds for Season 7 and 8

Criminal Minds fans and specially those who are fans of SSA -Media Liaison Jennifer "JJ" Jarreau (that includes me) will be delighted as A.J. Cook has sign on to return to show as the series regular for two seasons.

This would be a great news since they need another female agent on the team and there no one more suitable than JJ herself. She will also be a good compliment to new agent Ashley Seaver (played by Rachel Nichols) as she is basically Emily Prentiss' "replacement".

Criminal Minds episode 3 was basically a sad episode to watch not because their current case was not solve (it was solved), it's because it's the last episode we will see AJ Cook on the show (making her the 3rd major casting chance after Mandy Patinkin and Lola Glaudini left the show). I am a bit relieved that AJ Cook's character has a chance that she can comeback in the future as her character was just "ordered" to transfer her services to another branch of government to which Hotchner (even Erin Strauss) has no control of the situation. 

Well at least her character was not killed off.

The conclusion to the last season's cliffhanger is basically a typical episode of any Criminal Minds episode but there's somewhat a slight preview of this to come for this TV show. If you haven't read my previous post, AJ Cook (on which she plays FBI Agent Jennifer (JJ) Jarreau) will be leaving the series and the upcoming episode will be her final episode in a sort of tribute to her character. On this episode, JJ was forced by her team leader agent Hutchner to be the hostage negotiator for this case to which she did very well yet gave her somethings to think about.
