If you’re like me, you might find yourself waiting peacefully in front of the TV for Santa on Wednesday, December 24, and I can think of no better Wednesday crime drama than the Criminal Minds‘ episode, The Crossing, which airs at 9:00 PM on CBS. Pictured above are A.J. Cook and Shemar Moore.
The Crossing involves a stalker who has crossed state lines to pursue his latest obsession, a young woman who may end up as the next victim.
Also, Hotchner and Rossi investigate whether a woman who has killed her husband and claimed battered woman-syndrome is telling the truth, or …read more

Now that actor A.J. Cook’s real life pregnancy is here, it should be interesting to see what our talented Criminal Mind’s writers have dreamed up for her character. Since her character J.J. is unmarried, and not in a relationship, who will be the father of the baby?

So far, these are my best guesses:

J.J. will reveal that she’s been secretly seeing someone.
J.J. will develop a relationship with another team member of the BAU.
J.J. will temporarily …read more

Yes, it really is true, A.J. Cook is pregnant. The Criminal Minds star who portrays J.J. is expecting a baby, and we’d like to wish her many congratulations.

So can we expect a brighter mood in the BAU? We’ll have to see. Until then, maybe we can vote on which CM cast members will be the official godfather and godmother for the baby. Here’s a great photo of A.J. at Area Nightclub last November.

Fans of J.J. (A.J. Cook) from Criminal Minds should be pretty excited as new episodes are going to feature more about her, according to Kristin at E!Online.
I wonder, will she be kidnapped, or put in a position to solve a case? Although she enjoys being the team liaison, and choosing the cases they solve, is she hiding some secret that will come out in these episodes? Since she is a fully qualified federal agent, she could easily slip into the role of profiler. Perhaps she’ll find romance, and that would be a great spoiler for us.
Here’s a fan video of …read more
