Mentalist worst episodes:
1: Tommy Volker conclusion- stealing a child in broad daylight when his lawyers could eat the kids testimony alive tops my list.
2: The clown episode who killed the math genius. Seriously a clown? They still make ski masks right?
3: The gay guy who was killed by his lover and used a gym elastic band to throw his gun away. Bad.
4: Red John conclusion: Jane strangling Rj was cool and much better then a gunshot but everything else was ehhh
5: Rigsby Gvp wedding crime. Guy gets caught stealing and instead of just putting it back or dealing with a theft charge he decides to hit a dude over the head and leaving his body in broad daylight.
-This show has a lot of murders that were just unrealistic. Like if they got caught doing the original crime they would get community service but no they chose to pick up a lamp and kill a person.
-Jane usually catches people with tricks that result in little to no actual evidence yet the suspects always admit to everything bc cho asks "why did you do it"? Umm lawyers people.

We actually had a taste before of what this show is without the Red John storyline. Remember the Tommy Volker case? It was very tiresome and boring..... not to mention in the end a little boy could have convicted him. This shows backbone is and will always be the Red John storyline. Unfortunately, we the people of this site are a minority compared to the "Jisbon" fans hence even if we boycott...... this show will still get enough viewers. To sum it all up in a sentence : Jisbon fans ruined this great show.

Since there aren't many tangible things to guess where they might take the Season finale I thought it might be fun to share a new inside joke I found smuggled into their set design:

The original FBI logo looks like this:

The initials of their Motto "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity" again add up to FBI.

In the show they use a slightly different logo:

The initial of their Motto "Valor, Heroism, Service" add up to VHS, which is the video standard that was most common before the DVD-Player came along.

Let's all agree on Scarlett Johansson being Red John.

Scarlet = Red

Johansson = Scandinavian derivative of Johan = John

I doubt anyone would object to THAT reveal :D

What a disgrace of an episode for fuck's sake. 15 DNA traces of women, 1 of a Dr. "Feeldead" and 0 of the hitman. So the arabs were killed by prison inmates (guess that's what happened), but what made him get caught ? : a fucking "Julius Ceasar" tattoo which was on records and Wilye made the connection as soon as he heard the name "Arthur" ?, or a tape from the prison the doctor commited suicide in?. Why the need for the stage then ?. The "bad" guy pleading for his life, that was new huh ?. Thing is old-dry-ladies and whinny-pussy-teens and closet faggots who are watching this show are only on the 'Jisbon' thing. I'm not against it but an obsesive-compulsive maniac character like "Pancake" asking TL to marry her on headquarters as if III World War is about to start ?. For fuck's sake this is decadence at its worst. An Special Agent giving alcohol to a witness, that was amazing (well, if he's running the show behind bars I'd understand it). Seems like nothing is on script anymore. It's all take 1 and "improvise mother fucker we don't have time" scenes. There will be nothing left for the "behind the scenes" DVD. A comedy of errors.

So..... Blinking Red Light is airing right now on TNT...

This episode takes me back to a time when I had SO much hope for this show.
