Holy Crap!

Shemar Moore, who plays Special Agent Derek Morgan on CBS's Criminal Minds, has told TV Guide Online that Geena Davis is likely to succeed Mandy Patinkin on the series. Moore was critical of Patinkin's abrupt decision to leave the show. "No warning, no nothing. We all showed up to work Day One, and he didn't. ... He essentially just slapped us in the face." Moore seemed to confirm the official news release attributing Patinkin's exit to "creative differences." He said, "Sometimes the content of what we did would affect him more some days than others." Moore said that he expected Patinkin's career to take a hit as a result of the walk-out, pointing out that the actor/singer had done the same thing on Chicago Hope in 1995. "He did it once, OK. This one's going to sting a little bit. At least it should sting. Bottom line is, he didn't show up to work -- with no warning. He didn't tell anybody."

Geena Davis! Well this show is over. She can't act her way out of a paper bag. That's a shame.

Gena DAVIS?!?! WTF!!

I've been following Patankin's odd departure with sorrow as I got hooked on this show last season o). Honestly, it could survive without him. It had 3 strong male leads.....but Gena Davis!? That's even enough for me to quit watching!

Hey, **** you guys. Earth Girls Are Easy was awesome.

 

[Kingfish]

sure like 30 years ago....

 

[Prognosticator]

Seriously, I liked "The Fly" and all that...But Gena Davis had twins when she was like, 50. She's weird, and I don't want to watch her on a weekly basis!

Why did they even need to replace him. Just promote Hotchner ( the guy who should have played superman) to to Gideon's position. Problem solved.

 

[Prognosticator]

I say they should make him "disappear" for most of the season with no answers and everyone worrying! Then, either bring him back brainwashed and evil, or have them find his body dead in a more realistic view of what happens after a long time!

They should replace him with a remorseful [crazy] David Carradine!
