Garcia never sees the light of day in her dark office, so I guess she doesn't count. But the rest of them go out in the field and the FBI doesn't care how they dress?<br /><br />Hotch always wears a suit as I would expect. JJ and Prentiss also dress apporpriately for the most part. There were some very low cut tops for Prentiss, but because it is TV, I can let them get away with that. <br />Rossi is this celebrity profiler so I understand that the bureau lets him maybe get away with the occasional pair of jeans and he at least wears shirts.<br />Then there is Reid. He looks like a five year old that was dressed by his mum in his sunday's best but then went out to play with friends and run around for a day. <br />When he started he was very young and maybe didn't know how to dress for the job, but I don't see why nobody took him aside after a couple of weeks to tell him to buy a suit. Obviously not Gideon, who always dressed like a dad on a fishing trip, but Hotch just doesn't seem like the kind of boss who would put up with that.<br />And then there is Derek. Who always wears combat boots and pants and a dark T-shirt. <br /><br />I guess they made these choices to emphasize the most important character traits. Reid the teacher's pet / genius who isn't that socially competent, Hotch the workaholic who even sacrifices his marriage for his job, Derek the tough guy.<br />But really, if you need to rely on clothes this much to tell the audience how much what kind of a person the character is, they are not doing a great job writing and acting.<br />There are waaaaay subtler hints to convey all of this.

He has to be physically competent to stand trial for them to convict him. If he's not competent, he can't be made to stand trial since he can't properly defend himself. If he can't remember what happened, he can't really defend himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
