Not to nitpick, but Hotch does have at least that much backstory, we've met most of his family for crying out loud. His brother, his wife, his sister-in-law, his son. We know he was a lawyer, how he met his wife, his father was an alcoholic, etc. We know he met Prentiss before they were on the team because he worked security for her mom. Most of last season was about his divorce, and almost all of this season has been about him and the Reaper. In fact, Hotch is probably tied with Reid for amount of random shit we know about him. Every one else has about the same amount of backstory. But Hotch is definitely not hurting for backstory.
Not to be confrontational, but the majority of what you're calling "backstory" is not. It is present day characterization (brother, wife, sister-in-law, son, divorce, Reaper.) We do have small, sometimes conflicting, hints at his past that we have to interpret ourselves.

LOL! I can just hear his voice saying that. I love the expression Hotch has.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see one like this where he's giving the statistics of Hotch getting laid now that Haley is being a bitch.
Ah, if only Reid wasn't right....
ReplyDeleteI love Hotch's expression. Great shot.
Hilarious, especially given Hotch's expression! There should be a series of Reid giving various statistics like this <3
ReplyDeleteI second Anonymous, I'd love to see the statistics of Hotch getting lucky given the status re: Haley and all : )
