| | People are always saying Morgan is the most expendable character because he's just the action guy and lots of shows have that. Except, what do those other shows have to do with CM? Second, he's not. Not just that. Morgan's friendly and charming and a big old flirt and a player but a perfect gentleman and has a temper (but doesn't go flying off the handle at small things just big things like painful secrets being exposed or people he cares about being in danger) and is the action guy. And, also is totally nosy about the dating lives of his coworkers (I love that detail. It's so perfectly interesting). And, grew from someone who pawned off those pesky emotional feelings to the bosses to someone whose one of the most likely to prod someone until they admit they aren't fine. Heck, he prodded Hotch. And, Morgan has also grown more open himself. The abuse is still a verboten topic. But, he's feeling burnt out and he's not reluctant to voice that. Not whining but not hiding behind "I'm fine." Foyet getting the better of him -knocking him out cold- bothered him and he expressed that to Prentiss. Also his feelings of how nothing they do would make a dent in the evil. (No, that's not a sign of shipping). And, telling Hotch he couldn't stand to be at the pig farm a second longer. And, he can be too much of a skeptic (although that in itself isn't always bad). He challenges people which can be good or bad depending on the situation.
And, watching some of Revelations with the commentary, it seems (and it's a view I can agree with) that they never meant for Morgan to be blaming JJ. Just because he didn't tell her she wasn't to blame didn't mean that. It meant he didn't have time or the energy to absolve her (and it wasn't his place -plus she was looking for blame and he didn't have the time or energy for that either). He had his own thing to go through with his friend in a life threatening situation. And, Reid is JJ's friend to, but he couldn't deal with her. Harsh, but understandable. I don't think he would have been able to offer a comforting shoulder to Reid when Garcia got shot (if Reid had needed it) because he would have his plate full dealing with his worry at the time. Which is another interesting aspect. He's wonderful at listening and drawing people out -unless it's over shared pain and then it's all about him. Not in the "I want you to worry all about me" but in "Go handle this yourself because I can't carry you as well."
So, um, yeah. Way more than just the action guy. Even if he has tackled almost everything under the sun.
