I love his monologue about the team, it's amazing.

That's My Girl · 09-18-2016, 02:53 AM

^yeah the monologue shows how much he loved his team

**jls2971** · 09-18-2016, 03:29 PM

Yeah, that entire scene was amazing. From Hotch profiling the team to the statement from the GIFs. He does love the team and knows them so well.

Logan · 09-18-2016, 03:47 PM

On tumblr there is a post video ,from last May in Monte Carlo . See how much love he has for the show and everyone involved . Talks about directing how he had to step up his game . Keeping the filming going , on time .

**jls2971** · 09-19-2016, 10:27 AM

It's like Thomas said, he put his heart and soul into the show. It's sad that he was just recently promoting the show and seemed to be looking forward to the new season. And of course he had nothing but nice things to say about the cast, crew, and show.

In that interview, Thomas mentioned he enjoyed all of the episodes he directed, especially the most recent one which was the Derek episode. I was thinking about this recently, and now I'm thinking about it again: Thomas got to direct one of Shemar's most important episodes that was part of his departure. I know Matthew directed the actual episode that Morgan left, but Thomas got that big Derek one that was mostly just Derek in the episode. They could have easily had Joe direct that episode as I think that episode. While the 250th episode was part of the Derek story, I think Derek and Beautiful Disaster were definitely the bigger ones involving Derek specifically. But if Thomas and Shemar really didn't get along, you'd think they'd maybe have Joe direct "Derek". Especially considering how much Morgan was in the Derek episode (I think it was something like 40 minutes of the episode consisted of Shemar), that would have meant Shemar and Thomas spending a lot of time with each other. And in the season 11 DVD, Shemar talks about how great Thomas is as a director and how he enjoyed working with him on Derek. I don't know, it's just something to think about.

Here's a fan theory regarding Thomas I found on Tumblr.

Quote:

A Theory (that is probably Wishful Thinking)

As the title claims, it’s probably wishful thinking, but here it goes: I think that maybe Thomas Gibson has filmed one more episode(s?) as Hotch on CM. I have no real proof of this, it’s all speculation and guessing and hoping. I looked at a bunch of social media accounts and took a leap, basically.

Thomas Gibson has been fairly quiet on twitter and instagram lately. He still tweets, but they’re either retweets of stuff he finds interesting or simple hellos. Yesterday was the first day in over a week (I think) that he’s posted any pics, and they didn’t feature him at all. Of course, this could just be a coincidence. But if he was shooting again, that could explain it. Because he would have had to shave. (He posted his first selfie in ages about half an hour ago and as far as I could tell he was mostly clean shaven.) And they might have asked him to keep quiet on social media in general. He was definitely in LA again for that quiet period, but it could have been anything, I’ll admit.

There haven’t been any pics from recent table reads as far as I know, even though ep6 was one MGG was directing. Certain pics from set seem to suggest Paget is officially a regular again from ep7 (she has her own chair again), but no table read either. Though a chair could just be a chair. But there were relatively few behind-the-scenes pics for MGG’s ep, most of them posed group shots when filming was done. And if the next ep is the one where Emily takes over, it would make sense that this one would be Hotch’s goodbye.

So, no proof, but it makes sense. After all these weeks, I have yet to see anyone come up with a way to write Hotch off the show without TG that wouldn’t immediately piss off loads of fans. So maybe they haven’t either. And it would make sense to have the director be someone familiar with the show and the situation, and MGG has directed a bunch by now and he seems to get along pretty well with TG. As for why they’d keep it quiet, I don’t know. The whole thing is finally dying down, they don’t want to bring it up again? They want to make sure it’s definitely filmed and ready before announcing it? No idea. I think the likelihood of all this depends on exactly how bad the entire situation with TG was in the end.

It all sounded reasonable in my head, but I’ve probably just snapped, haven’t I? Someone just give me proof either way, confirming or denying, or any kind of clue what they’re doing about Hotch, because I’m reaching UnSub levels of insane here.

That does sound like wishful thinking but I'd appreciate it.

That little CM fact is sweet.

**jls2971** · 09-21-2016, 06:52 AM

Yeah, that post probably is wishful thinking.

I love the CM fact. I had always wondered if that was the case. That Thomas just added that in and decided to film. It's true, it's totally something people would do in real life. Plus, we got to see Hotch's lighter side: from forcing Rossi to get up and sing to filming his team drunkenly singing Piano Man

Found this post on Tumblr about Thomas and him being on Twitter. It's sort of long so I'll just share the link

What are everyone's thoughts on it?

Thomas Gibson on Criminal Minds Firing: "It Seems Like They're Trying to Erase Me"

by CHRIS HARNICK | Thu, Sep 22, 2016 9:26 AM

Thomas Gibson on Criminal Minds Firing: It Seems Like They're Trying to Erase Me | E! News

"He came into that room and started coming towards me. As he brushed past me, my foot came up and tapped him on the leg," Gibson said. "If I hadn't moved, he would have run into me. We had some choice words, for which I apologized the next day, and that was it. It was over. We shot the scene, I went home – and I never got to go back."

Earlier reports indicated Gibson kicked Williams. He'll appear in the first two episodes of the new season.

"Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from Criminal Minds," ABC Studios and CBS Studios, the production companies behind Criminal Minds, said in a statement. "Creative details for how the character's exit will be addressed in the show will be announced at a later date."
Watch

Adam Rodriguez has been added to Criminal Minds as a series regular and former cast member Paget Brewster, who was originally only supposed to guest star, will now return as a series regular.

"It seems like they're trying to erase me from the show. That hurts. But I'm using this time to be with my kids, and I look forward to what's next," Gibson said. "Maybe I'll do a comedy, or a play, or direct, or produce."
Following his dismissal, Gibson joined Twitter and hired a lawyer.

"I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last twelve years. I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won't be possible now," Gibson said in a statement following his termination this summer. "I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have."

Criminal Minds returns Wednesday, Sept. 28 on CBS.

**jls2971** · 09-22-2016, 09:38 AM

Well, it looks like things won't be settling down soon.

Interesting that Thomas said some of the cast members were present. It would be nice to hear their side of the story.

believer14 · 09-22-2016, 09:52 AM

I am glad he came forward.

And I hate that they overblown the whole story about Thomas kicking AND VIOLENCE ON THE JOB. It sounded like Thomas kidnapp Virgil and tortured him. Seriously, Americans are sometimes so sensitive... no wonder why Trump has a shot in the election.

**jls2971** · 09-22-2016, 10:02 AM

I mentioned it in the Rossi's notebook thread, but the story Thomas is telling is similar to one someone on Reddit posted a month ago:

Quote:

TakeSpeakersOffTable 28 points 1 month ago
I was on set that day. I saw most of what happened. Thomas and the writer were yelling at each other about a line that Thomas thought was not working. Thomas was standing in a single doorway after they were arguing. The writer rushed passed him and Thomas had to move or get run over from what I could see. I could not tell if the writer actually made contact with him first. Thomas then moved his leg up and looked like he tried to trip the guy but ended up tapping him in the shin. The writer then asked everyone if they saw what had just happened. Thomas called the guy an *******, disappeared for a bit then came back and finished the scene.
