I want J.J. to be a normal human being. She can&#8217;t be a superhero all the time; it&#8217;s not real. It was refreshing to see her kind of come apart a little bit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/news\/exclusive-criminal-minds-sneak-peek-jj-ptsd\/\">TV Guide<\/a> also spoke to Cook about the episode, and here&#8217;s an excerpt about JJ&#8217;s PTSD storyline:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s just been a long time of her living in denial, repressing it and not facing her demons. Unfortunately, when you&#8217;ve been through something so crazy like that, you can only do it for so long. It works for a little bit, but you start to fall apart. We kind of get to see her dealing with it in her own way, but her way seems to be a little self-destructive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nHere&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/news\/mega-buzz-blacklist-ouat-castle-1090591\/\">TV Guide<\/a> question from last month relating to &#8220;The Forever People&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Any <i>Criminal Minds<\/i> scoop? \u2014 Brett<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRemember JJ&#8217;s PTSD? She&#8217;ll turn to Reid as her &#8220;sounding board&#8221; to get through it, executive producer <b>Erica Messer<\/b> tells us. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always loved their friendship and this will bring them closer together,&#8221; she says. And don&#8217;t worry about this triggering any PTSD for Reid \u2014 he&#8217;s doing just fine these days. &#8220;Emotionally, he&#8217;s going to be so invested in JJ&#8217;s story,&#8221; she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nCook also did an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvfanatic.com\/2015\/01\/criminal-minds-exclusive-aj-cook-on-cults-frozen-bodies-askari-a\/\">TV Fanatic<\/a>, including this question and answer about JJ and Reid&#8217;s friendship:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>TV Fanatic:<\/b> When Reid and Morgan have to go through and deal with their demons, fans really pick up on that. I guess there&#8217;s a lot of relating going on.<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Cook:<\/b> I love that. I love it when we see our characters &#8220;put down their capes&#8221; &#8211; as they say &#8211; for a minute and just act like a normal human being and cope; when they deal with it like a normal human being would.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd I love, in this episode, that Spencer steps up and reaches out. He, out of everyone, realizes what JJ&#8217;s going through and he calls her on it.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt was so nice to be able to, once again, see that relationship. They&#8217;re so tight, and you just feel the love between the two of them. Not <i>that<\/i> kind of love but just that they&#8217;re best friends. We haven&#8217;t touched on that in a very long time. So it was very refreshing and exciting to get to see that pure 100% caring for one other relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt was really nice to get to shoot those scenes with Matthew. They turned out great, so I&#8217;m really happy for the fans to see that and to see two great characters coming together to work through something. It was a lot of fun to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zap2it.com\/blogs\/criminal_minds_forever_people_aj_cook_interview-2015-01\">Zap2It<\/a> spoke to Cook about the episode as well. Regarding the scenes between JJ and Reid, the actress said: &#8220;That&#8217;s one of my favorite things about this episode is that we really get to see their amazing relationship. We haven&#8217;t really touched on that in a really long time and so you forget that these two are best friends. He&#8217;s the godfather of her child. It&#8217;s palpable the scenes between us in this. Spence really wants to help his friend.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nAnd here&#8217;s another interview with Cook from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddytv.com\/articles\/criminal-minds\/criminal-minds-exclusive-aj-co-55434.aspx\">BuddyTV<\/a>, including this question:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>The man who abducted JJ returns, so are we seeing flashbacks? Is JJ having nightmares? How is that going to play out?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nI know! When that guest cast list was released and Tivon Askari was on there, people kind of were very confused by that, like &#8216;What? How? How is he there? I thought he was dead&#8230;&#8217; I don&#8217;t want to give anything away, but it&#8217;s one of the most intense scenes I&#8217;ve ever shot in my life, and he is so freakin&#8217; talented, <b>Faran<\/b> [<b>Tahir<\/b>], and this episode would not have worked if he didn&#8217;t come back and play with us. There is an insanely intense scene between the two of us, so that&#8217;s all I say on that. &#8230; I don&#8217;t want to give anything away, because it&#8217;s such a cool thing that they did. I&#8217;ll let everyone be surprised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nFinally, here are some tweets and photos:<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrantNoShow\">@GrantNoShow<\/a> guest stars as cult leader Colton Grant Wednesday on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CriminalMinds?src=hash\">#CriminalMinds<\/a>. 1st look: <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/RgLj7Wr8GF\">http:\/\/t.co\/RgLj7Wr8GF<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/HcVzB2ls2A\">pic.twitter.com\/HcVzB2ls2A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Criminal Minds (@CrimMinds_CBS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrimMinds_CBS\/status\/554798597246840832\">January 13, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"4\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:500px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf\/\/42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB\/lQPb79drWOyJVa\/DAvg9B\/rLB4cC+Nqgdz\/TvBbBnr6GBReqn\/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I\/fZou\/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/xz-mYxPoqo\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_top\">#BTS &#34;The Forever People&#34;.
