Yeah does not say anything nice about me as a person that this is what makes a good Mentalist episode for me, but I suspect it is not just me.
How many Mentalist viewers wish we could be just that good at something that everyone else would have to take crap from us, and to feel so little pressure from other people's expectations that we don't worry about giving out said crap.
You are right - the being an asshole is wrapped in competence porn.
The Hawkeye and Trapper John syndrome.
So good and indispensable, they can get away with sh*t.
Oh GOD, I just caught up on Hannibal.
I heart everything about JZ's post.
Oh, yes. Absolutely.
Oh yeah. HANNIBAL. In his plastic suit.
Oh, the plastic suit. Damn.
When he showed up at Bedelia's home I was muttering, "She's gone, she ran, she can't be there..." and when the covered furniture was revealed I threw my hands in the air and exclamed, "Good girl!" That's some powerful fear to cause a virtual shut in to flee.
I find myself watching each episode twice. Once for the story and again to study all the design elements. I am somewhat randomly fascinated by a painting in Bedelia's place that I don't think has ever been fully in focus.
Perception: They freakin forgot to explain why the CIA grabbed all the evidence in journalist's death. (And no, their interest in Daniel does not explain it. They become interested only after he exposes the hoax.) I may not be Raymond Chandler not knowing who committed one of the murders but it is close. Even if they don't explain it, why did nobody even wonder?
I think Hannibal is going to try to make someone else look guilty of the murders to help Will. Bedelia? The reporter? Alana?
Chilton is on the stand essentially describing himself.

I had that thought, too. Shooting first would make it plausible for someone with less upper body strength to stage the scenes. My guess would be Alana.
Has anyone figured out what Hannibal's planning? Does
Hannibal
know what Hannibal's planning? I swear, it looks like he's not so much playing both sides against the middle, as both sides against
himself.
In other news, the show continues to be its gorgeous, if gorge-raising, self.
I have to watch that again. That was trippy even for this show.
