And The Mentalist has been renewed. I have mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, more Lisbon and Jane, yay! On the other hand the show seems to be past its prime.
There is much rejoicing on my Twitter feed. I strongly felt all along that the alleged position of The Mentalist "on the bubble" was a publicity stunt but it was stressful watching the fandom work itself into a frenzy. As far as the show goes, at one point either Heller or Baker said that The Mentalist was about Patrick Jane's journey. So I don't think the story is over until he finds some peace in himself and really moves on with his life. One way that could be shown involves him taking off his wedding ring and having a real relationship.
It also makes me wonder if Will and Jack are in it together. If not, it's sort of coincidental.
They must be. And the forensics team has to be in on it too, what with the dental records display and such.
I'm still hooked by the imagery and the psychological swordplay. The show is unlikely to lose me.
Continuing to bitch about The Mentalist. (Yes, I'm going to continue to both watch & bitch.) Minor logic hole: good thing villain's high priced lawyer did not think of having client tested to see if he'd been drugged.
Also aside from the continuing lack of Lisbon/Jane banter, the plan was disappointing. I don't mean impractical. I don't expect Jane plans to lack logic holes or be workable in the real world. But I expect them to be over-the-top and clever in a Rube-Goldberg sort of way. In this cases the cunning plan was to drug and torture the villain? To kind of gesture at cleverness they staged fake torture of an accomplice so that villain's testimony would include something provably untrue and undermine the credibility of his accusations. Neither twisty nor layered enough.
This is some good, silly fun on Castle tonight. Just what I needed.
Agreed on Castle, although it was an EVIL way to end the season. I thought that might be Spy Daddy in the black SUV. Who knows, it might still turn out to have been him.
Damn. It's as if I said nothing could go wrong.
I have a feeling that since they finished off the big ongoing arc they're picking up the 3XK arc again. I had forgotten about Spy Daddy though. That would probably be less angsty.
For those who have seen the Season Finale of Castle
A little Castle Photoshop [link]
I cannot believe that CSI iteration has been picked up.
Damn.
Person of Interest: Well, that was apocalyptic.
Did anyone see what happened to Fusco?
Last we saw he was calling for a medic when someone got shot by British guy with sling.
