Welp, I admire the faithful who think something will eventually make sense on this show, BUT I also understand those who think that The Mentalist is never going back to RJ, it's done. We've been told the latter, yet we've also been teased about the former.
Regardless of which category you're in [for me, it's somewhere in the middle], I think everyone can agree that almost nothing logical happened in Season 6 [or last half of Season 5 while we're at it]. We had:
DIALOGUE SO CONFUSING: it's been like trying to decode a secret language where the cipher is another secret language [in pig latin]
PLOT HOLES SO GAPING: the finale should have been called "The Black Hole" [which is a "star" that has died and yielded to the laws of gravity]
CHARACTERS SO FOREIGN: to their original form [and without an authentic arc], the only explanation is that an ALIEN came down and infected everyone -- I vote for Erica Flynn as the alien [she did kiss Jane, and far better than Lisbon]
AND, also worth MENTIONING…..the complete, total and utter…
GENRE CONFUSION: Yes folks, The Mentalist has IT ALL....turns out it's a Romantic Procedural Crime Dramedy full of Blood, Slapstick and Farce, with a few carnival people thrown in -- also particularly good if you're nursing a predilection for pigeonomania and/or the Second Coming. Seems like all that's missing from this show is a creepy banjo player. ****
BUT COME SEPTEMBER....
Will Jibson's love survive? Or will Patrick Jane fly into outer space in his secret RV spaceship [when it is revealed that Red John is living on the planet Mongo!]
WE MUST ALL TUNE IN to find out!!!
**** This website is proving far more entertaining than the show it was created for.
