So long, the Mentalist!

Anyone hoping for the show to get back to its earlier quality is now in utter disappointment.  Episodes 9 and 10 made sure of that.  It was like watching snails move.  Any decent writer could bring PJ back to working with FBI in under 30 minutes.  They spent two awfully slow hours to accomplish that.  I won't be surprised if they waste the next show with drama around PJ refusing a few couches they get for him untll he chooses one with a pigeon design.

Producers know that too.  That is why have been paying sites like spoiler-tv for glowing reviews.  And Mentalist has been in the main news page of Yahoo every other day now with made-up, slightly different articles just to keep attention going on:  Look PJ got his man, look he is vacationing, look at his tan, look he is now a pigeon farmer, etc.

It is just not fun to watch anymore.  It is quite worse than a dozen other similar shows now.  Take, for instance, the murder plot in the last episode.  PJ solves it by noting that the mounds of
fertilizer were not needed because of the season.  Well, it turns out,
it was not the guy who got fertilizer there in the first place.  Again, major plot hole. 

So, no more watching this show anymore.
