I like Lisbon better now than I did at the start, she's loosened up some and gained a personality; but she still goes too easy on Jane. I can't figure out why, either, she's written as being tough, but with Jane she doesn't seem to know what to DO with him. I agree with her new supervisor, except for the part about firing her, except I'd bet that's just meant to light a fire under both of them.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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

I think she's definitely gotten better with time. But I never hated her.
I never got the bad hair thing, but I'm beginning to think I never get the bad hair thing.
I don't remember if I really hated her in the beginning or was just, meh. I re-watched the pilot the other night and I was struck by her bad hair and stiffness. I suspect the stiffness might have been in the script. (To play against Castle's free-spirited-signing-of-boobs-ness.)
I was aghast at her hair though. It was short and looked, at times, as if they'd plastered it down on her head with an entire tube of product.
ETA: The hair could have also been intended to help establish character. NF seemed to walk around the entire pilot looking like he just stumbled out of bed still wearing his clothes from the night before.

Yeah, her hair is distractingly bad. He's just...distracting.

I was hoping for the former boss to make an appearance.

Yeah, I'm not sure what was up with his almost Stalin-esque removal from the show (whether it was the actor's decision or not, his lack of almost any mention is odd).
I hope that this "we're never happening" thing isn't just a string-out.
Next week looks like fun though.

Anyplace on the internet to legally watch The Mentalist? The weather's bad so my damn dish cut out again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, Zenkitty. They're mean like that.
Is this the 100th episode of Bones? With the flashback?
