Whitaker and Lowe? Can't see the chemistry nor the profiler personality. What do you think of this combo . . . Lou Diamond Phillips and Dylan Mcdermott? They certainly could pull off tough but what about intellectual genius? Great writers, ha ha. What about a comic relief like . . . Ryan Phillippe in glasses? What about a motorcycle girl - tough and smart - like that girl on american idol with the two hair colors?

I love Forrest Whitaker but the others were just ugghh. If these are the spin off characters then I for one wont be watching. Two weeks later I still remember Whitakers charachter but the others are completely gone from my mind. That to me doesnt bode well for the show. The characters need to be memorable and they definatly were not.

I'll try it, but I don't see it being anywhere near as sucessful as CBS wants it to be. I personally don't like the casting, and I found it completely boring during the intro episode. Beau Garrett's hot though, and Forest Whitaker's talented so you never know

I like Forest Whitaker also, but the other characters just didn't seem to cut it. I will try it, but I am not so sure it will work. After all, the people trying to create this are the dummies who got rid of JJ. And the new girl, who seems too smart to just be right out of school, with no experience is a very poor version of JJ. Still love the show and all of the current characters(other than the newbie) and will continue watching to the end.

i watched CM SB but im not convinced after watching orginal cast for 6 seasons the new team just dont cut it, dont get me wrong i love forest as an actor just not as FBI agent. he doesnt have the leadership qualitys thomas gibson has in CM and the team are all over the place theres nothing interesting with them really that makes u like them!! unlike other team there all well loved by the fans i think CBS made a mistake making the spin off and i hope they do right thing and go back to concentrating on original cast and crew who have proven this kind of show works and works well with that team even the wonderful garcias roll on new spin off has beeen changed shes not her perky wonderful self they tamed her :(
