I tuned into The Mentalist halfway through. They're doing the standard Amnesia Episode, aren't they?
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
It is so goddamn fucking irritating, zenkitty.
Mark Sheppard on Prime Suspect!
I think I should have stopped watching this show when he shot "Red John" and let that be the end of it for me.
yes. I am with you there.
this whole season has been bullshit. Even Cho BROKE HIS BACK!
I am really proud of myself for breaking up with The Mentalist.
Mark Sheppard on Prime Suspect!
Wasted.
The Mentalist is now in some alternate reality of "Seriously? SERIOUSLY??" for me. But I haven't stopped watching. Just, nothing can make any real sense after that legal verdict. That was so much bullshit.
It's the fault of the male leads. Well, all the leads other than Robin Tunney, who I'm "enh" about. I do like the rest of the cast quite a bit.
I haven't watched every episode of The Mentalist this season, but it seems that Lisbon can no longer do anything without consulting Jane. Last night's Amnesia Episode, he laid down to sleep and told her he'd give her The Answer in the morning, and damned if she didn't sit silently down beside him and POUT.
If I watch any more, I'll have to pretend that Jane shot himself after he shot Red John and now he's in a coma and dreaming all this crap. For once, the It Was All A Dream storyline would be preferable.
I think there are inherent problems in having a giant "I must find my wife's killer," "I must find out who framed me," or "I must prevent the apocalypse" storyline. If the writers don't go resolve those after a couple of years, they taint the storyline. They have to get to happily ever after, and then figure out what the prince and princess did next. I would have been much happier if Jane had killed Red John in a way that was shown to be self-defense, and then he found a new reason to keep working with the police. I also like there to be a hope for people to get better, but they're leaving him emotionally stuck.
