I agree with some of the others who miss Mandy. He was right to leave if in fact he saw the show going in the wrong direction. My daughter and I used to love to watch the show and try to figure out the complex undercurrent throughout the episodes. I do not like the gory exploiting of blood, etc. Bring back the original concept and get Mandy back if possible.

We have watched the show since Day 1 and were very disappointed when Mandy Patinkin left the cast. The show has not been the same since his departure. I catch about a third of the episodes now. The producers seem to stress rather gory murder/torture "themes" recently which are a real turn-off. The show was much more interesting when it was written and produced as a complex "whodunit," rather than as a series of murder/torture episodes. I hope that Mr. Patinkin returns in the future and that the writing also returns to a more interesting, less gory style. In the past, this series was interesting enough to watch because of the complex plots. It did not need the shock value of the murder/torture, drawn-out scenes that seem so prevalent now. We are disappointed at the new direction of this series.

Garcia is a essential chacter on the show. It would be bad to loose her especially after loosing Gideon. The show is suffering without his chacter. This is one I record when not able to watch and I hate to see it go down hill.

please please keep Garcia on. She was definitely a great personality for the show. We want her to stay. Morgan and Garcia have incredible chemisty. Please dont take that away from the viewers. I believe that since Gideon is already gone, if you get rid of Garcia, your ratings and viewers will drop.
