"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

does anyone here think Mentalist last night should have been a two-parter?

and yes, despite my previous intent not to watch the show this season, I'm sucked right back in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There was barely a light line in the whole thing. I can see how they might want to compress that into just one episode.

I think the show did come down on the side of Jane=crazy obsessive man this week. They wobble with that too much, I think, but the morphine drip action was pretty conclusive. He's a psychopath himself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah. And when Bosco said, when you get Red John, just kill him, and Jane said, "That's the plan" with no hesitation, irony, or anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So did Bosco really make up with Jane before he got shot, or did he have a deathbed conversion to the monomania?

Also, will Lisbon now let Jane kill him?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Damn. I gotta catch up on The Mentalist. Jane being a psychopath is way better than Jane being merely an asshole.

Jane said, "That's the plan" with no hesitation, irony, or anything.

Hasn't that been pretty openly his position from the get-go?

I'm just bummed that I only just figured out that Bosco is McManus from Oz and now...

So did Bosco really make up with Jane before he got shot, or did he have a deathbed conversion to the monomania?

Kind of?

I do want to know what the actual deathbed conversation was. It sure wasn't the BS he fed Lisbon.

Always Anti-fascist!

Good old McManus. We're so alike in that "Losing battle? yes, please," kind of way.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

So that was Flack's journey to the dark side? No real penalty for murder? And last week he facilitated an illegal organ transplant? And it's over with a mugging and a handshake?

I'm still annoyed every time I see Adam and Stella. These writers are crap at character.
