Let's talk about Garcia! She (and Kirsten) is one of the most original characters on television. And don't forget to check out her new blog on cbs.com.

Garcia is hilarious!! She is so funny and always has something to say!! I love her flirting with Morgan, and I think it's great that he flirts along with her. (Look for sexy and brilliant in that computer of yours . . . . Oh look, it's me) I feel so bad for her because she had to see all those horrible videos, and watch Reid die (but then come back to life). It was so touching when she had her hand on Gideon's hand during that part, and I wonder how she's going to be affected by it, because I think she and Reid share a close friendship because they are both brains of the group, with her being the computer whiz. (Dare I say Sister/Brother relationship?)
Garcia is so cool, and I kind of wish that she would get more recognition, along with JJ. Maybe in Season III Garcia and JJ could be included in the opening credits?

I too love the banter between Garcia and Morgan I think it really adds to the show.

She's my favourite female character on the show. She's goofy, adorable, and intelligent. And I love her eccentric outfits.

Why-oh-why was Garcia in only one little bitty scene in "Fear and Loathing"??? I really missed her! She makes me believe there is a place in this world for geek women - even if that place is a dark little room with lots of computer screens.

Sorry, I was being stupid. Must've been spacing out or something.

What i dont understand is why gideon seems to hate her. Ok, so at the end of S1 she totally screwed up but it turned out to be a good thing. he seems to always be really cold to her and hardly gives her credit. did i miss something that she did?
i love garcia by the way. i think she should have a little more storyline significance and get kidnapped or something it would be funny to see the team bein horrible to the temp tech.

I don't know about kidnapped, but seeing the team have to deal with a temp tech is a great idea! They would quickly realize how good they have it with our Garcia.
About Gideon - I know you're talking about the scene in FK where he was very harsh with her for making such a big mistake, but, let's face it, that was a really big mistake! Even her staunch defender Morgan realized it. And Gideon was very hurt by the loss of his "personal haven" outside the touch of the evil he has to see every day.
I don't think Gideon has been harsh with her this season. The scene they shared watching poor Reid in Revelations was very touching.

Who else is in love with Kirsten's Blog on the CBS website. It's pretty much in the style I imagine Garcia writing in. Plus, we get all sorts of behind the scenes stuff. I laughed when she mentioned her adoration for Thomas Gibson's strong legs. I agree, he can lift a car off me any day.

She's my favorite female character of any show atm!

I think we can all empathize with her the most. Remember her reaction to those videos Toby made? She was shocked, scared... just like we would be. The rest was gross out but it wasn't as powerful as her reaction.

Since watching "Distress," I'm dying to see all of Garcia's photoshop files of Morgan!

I can't be the only one who noticed the worry in her voice when she Called Reid looking for him!
And she Refered to him as Derek when talking to Reid. I don't know if she always does that, I haven't really paid attention to what she calls them.

I mean she called Morgan Derek and not Morgan when she was talking to Reid.

They call each other by thier last names. Ussually. Acctually, I don't know about Garcia. I'm not sure what she ussually calls Morgan. She doesn't say thier names very often.

I guess I should say She Reffered the him as Derek then.
