I agree with a lot of people that this was a terrible last episode, especially since next season is their last. It's literally the last major cliffhanger they could have written, but no, instead they decide to warp the amazing, perfectly platonic relationship between Reid and JJ. I'm not being funny, because I love a good romance as much as the next person, maybe more, but I felt so cheated by what they were insinuating. JJ loves Reid, yes, it's so inherently obvious that they love each other...why does it have to be romantic for it to be valid?!!! OMG, I just hate when shows do that!
I will read fanfiction till the cows come home. I love a good ship and I love reading almost any ship, whether it makes sense or not. But this kind of twisted end and terribly forced confession of love does not belong on screen as canon. I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel. I spent the last ten minutes of that episode waiting for the two of them to have a conversation that went along the lines of 'I do love but not in that way, I was just trying to save us - me too I get you, we're all good, you didn't even need to explain - followed by a lot of laughs and few sighs of relief. I was so upset that instead all we got was awkward looks (not even longing ones) and a weird little half-conversation that seemed to undermine JJ's actual marriage (whilst her husband was in the freaking room!) and Reid's beautifully written character ten year development. I am so deeply frustrated and unhappy with this! And to be honest, it looked like the actors weren't all that pleased with it and were just doing the best they could with what they had.
