  • A murder? No way!

    The wife wants husband dead, husband shows up dead, but who done it? plot may be growing a little tiresome, but The Mentalist finds a way to make this seemingly overdone topic enjoyable no matter how many times they seem to do it.

    Patrick Jane was not as fun as he usually is, and the solemn ending left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Kind of a weak way to end an episode, although you have to like the fact that they acknowledged Red John's damage to Jane's life, and that the writers did not simply forget about it. Now if only the murderer actually showed up, but hey there's always the season finale.moreless

    The follow up to the previous week's episode was very poor. With almost every episode of this series, I find myself putting everything I am doing away and just focusing entirely on this show. Not this week. I thought the acting of the guest stars was forced and the storyline was pretty lame.

    The woman who is supposed to be the "movie star", seemed bored with her role. She had that "when is this going to be over" look in her eyes. The story didn't really go anywhere and didn't make use of the characters the way that it normally does.

    Does Lisbon do anything ever? She says and does the same things all the time. She should never be surprised at the actions of Jane. Seriously, he doesn't hold back, he makes it clear what he is going to do and sometimes goes beyond. I don't see the chemistry between them, I think that people just want it to be there. They need to go back more into the RedJohn mystery. Its going to be interesting to see how it all ends up.moreless

    No wonder the guy wanted to pull out of the movie it's terrible! The 'super actress' sucks too at least on set. She's far more convincing after shooting Brandon. If she was going to shoot him, she should have killed him. The fact that she just happened to have a gun in her hand and shot him in a dark room how could she claim to see the gun? It was fitting that the 'actress' confessed on camera, Patrick was completely right, she was completely unconvincing.

    Not a great episode but pretty interesting. Definitely lacking in Jane's usual theatrics, made it a little boring.moreless

    This is what one might call an "intermission episode", a humorous and relaxed one after the previous two that were heavy and intense. The action goes on in a Hollywood setting, where a famous actress plots to have her husband killed because he prevented her from resuming her career. The plot isn't very original, I guessed it was the wife from the first ten minutes, but it is given in a refreshing way and has an extremely intense, emotionally charged scene near the end (the scene where Jane makes the actress confess in front of everyone in the middle of a shoot). That scene is a very good indicative of how he can affect people, the actress forgets everything about protecting herself at that moment and gives in to the shame and guilt Jane emphasizes for her, and finally confesses to everything. Jane can be compassionate sometimes, merciless at others, and this was one of the moments where the second trait shines through. Memorable scene. I also liked the disgruntled teenage daughter and the incident with Marilyn and Chaplin in the beginning. All in all a good, enjoyable episode. I'm guessing we will have another "intermission" before things start to get heavy with the final epis.moreless

    What another great episode! I must say, The Mentalust continues to impress me with it's intriguing plots and utterly awesome, fantastic writing.

    I have to admit, I had trouble guessing who the killer was in this episode, and I believe the writer, Andi Bushell (also, the writer for the episodes, "Redwood" and "Red Rum"), did an awesome job of concealing the "true killer's" identity and keep us guessing up until the very end of the episode. So, in summary, The Mentalist continues to show everyone (and me)why it is the biggest and only breakout hit of this aging TV season.moreless
