Lisbon-Jane interaction on Mentalist had a nice Nick and Nora vibe. Dennis Abbot seems to have totally given up trying to control Jane and is just going with it, no matter how outrageous "it" is. I hope Abbot is just giving Jane rope, and has not really turned into a cream puff, rather. Dramatically, I think Jane *needs* at least one opponent up the hierarchy from him. And I'm glad Lisbon is now dating someone. Jane has had an absurd amount of time to make his move. Maybe some competition will do the trick; if not Teresa is overdue to move on.

Oh the fic that has been committed on this very topic. As staunch a J/L shipper as I am, I am also beginning to think that Jane's head has yet to have sufficient percussion therapy and needs more sense knocked into it. I'd almost kinda sorta like to see Cho somehow perceive that Jane is making Lisbon unhappy enough that he feels the need to say something. Ok. So therein lies fic as well. Sometimes I think I don't care if they each sleep with scores of other people so long as they sail off into the sunset together. Sometimes I think I want them to have an ambiguous ending, one that is left to the viewers' imagination. More recently I am beginning to to think Jane's putzed around enough, too bad so sad, if he doesn't get Lisbon.

Is anyone else watching Crisis? That was Jonathan Adams in the last episode, right? The character isn't listed on imdb, but I'm pretty sure it was him. That guy has got serious range. I want him to guest on all my shows.

This. Except with me, I am not beginning to think that.

Dear god, I hope they don't go with the oldest tripe of "Jane finally decides he loves Lisbon and wants to tell her, but she is now in love with someone else (or got engaged," etc.)trope.

It's a tripe trope,
An over-ripe trope,
Don't need a night soap
or dragging out the hope
That Jane won't be a dope
and we won't need a rope
to help him learn to cope
and not hanging around to mope.

Hope Lisbon finds someone else fast
And Jane's not too big a pain in the ass
Cause since losing his wife, Jane's kink is chiller
He can only make it with a serial killer.

Burma shave.

No more rhyming now, I mean it!

Does anyone want a peanut?

Frozen!

His performance was extraordinary.
