Okay, so the show's coming back, sooner rather than later.

It's almost against my will that I am going to watch, as I'd really like to forget this show ever existed.  But I know I will tune in, the fools that CBS knows I am -- because old habits die hard, and there must be some dopamine release in my brain whenever I see the CBI/FBI team racing around to solve a mystery.  

However, I'm not getting my panties into a wad with elaborate theories on how RJ will come back because that hope disappeared with the Jibson kiss...of death.  

ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO THOSE LOOKING FORWARD to and/or hoping for JIBSON IN BED this season IS THIS:

"You are an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur" [emphasis on pathetic]....to want to see a relationship akin to brother and sister.....that almost zero romantic build up in 5 years prior...to be consummated....

That Heller, Baker and the lot from The Mentalist did an about face last year to please the "ravings" of the "squalid ego maniac Jibsoners," rendering the RJ storyline a footnote of nothingness...will forever be...well....forever....and the rest is "just details"...

They know and I think we know that it really can't be undone at this point, and bringing back anything involving RJ would be like admitting they fucked up.....and I'm here to say that a trip down memory lane with some old characters is nothing more than putting lipstick on the pig...eon...

So, do I expect much from this season besides car chases, a new love interest for Cho and lots of innuendo for what they will never deliver?  Nope, I don't.
