#mind you im talking about the run from seaon three through to the end of season nine

i don't know if ive talked about this before but one thing that happens all the time in the show but i refuse to believe is canon, is the rude way the team always shut down spencer's rambles.

now i don't mean when they're on a case because that's understandable, he needs to focus, but i mean when they're just in the bullpen or out of the office. they always shut him down or walk away and chat shit about what he just said, and the way they do it too!! its actually so rude to talk to anyone that way. the team would never treat spencer like this.

for one, they love him and being rude like that all the time is gross behaviour you don't do to your loved ones. also, they love him so they'll listen to his special interest ramble. i don't care about football but my dad really really does so i listen when he talks to me about football! its part of the deal when you care about someone!

secondly, its unrealistic that they find his wealth of specific knowledge annoying. like, my guys, you're all in the bau, you spend your days watching the behaviour of criminals, to get here you have to have a few interests of your own that don't fit the general public, what is the judgement on spencer for? this is why i refuse to perceive this as real. they wouldn't do that to him. it's just a super weird decision that the writers made.

and like i get that too. for the era the show was made it, the other shows that existed along with cm, like i understand that spencer is the nerdy archetype who knows too much about things no one care about blah blah. what im saying is that, maybe after season one, the team, the bau cares. the archetype doesn't work anymore because the team cares.
