Jeeves was off his knockers

9.5

By Haloprogram, May 07, 2013

It said clever title goes there so you can't blame me! But now for my opinions. This episode was great, amazingly amusing and just a great insight on the early Patrick. The cameo for the couch in the evidence room was plain genius and had me smiling immediately. There were some dull moments and I didn't like the fact that Lisbon asked for help rather than Jane offering it, towards the end. It seems like something Jane would do. I loved it but I did think this episode would have been great in one of the earlier seasons even though I can't think of anything better to do for the 100th episode except for maybe an episode about Jane coning people whilst being married or his episode in the mental institution, I think they could have done some great things with both of them. Nevertheless I loved the episode, it was a great idea and was something I think every Mentalist fan needed to see and if you haven't and you've gotten this far, do yourself a favor and watch it!moreless

100th episode.

9.5

By DexterMorgan2, Feb 28, 2013

This was the perfect episode for long time Mentalist fans like myself that remember watching the first episode So it was good to go back in time to them moments However this episode was before the first episode where Jane first comes to the CBI looking for answers on Red John and he soon learns that the CBI aren't making any progress The episode had a nice ending with the limo scene which now makes me think that Alexa could be Red John's FBI friend and has left me wondering who the man in the limo was.moreless

Red John's FBI helper

8.0

By gabbyp102, Dec 09, 2012

The woman in the end(in the limo) is the person who works with the FBI and is helping red john. She was in the episode where Jane was trying to keep Lorelei( the lady he meet in Las Vegas and slept with) but she got she away because of red John's FBI helper. She is the person Jane is trying to found in FBI as red johns helper. I know she is because I remember her being in the meeting room with the judge, trying to see who gets Lorelei.moreless

Red Dawn

7.0

By thefanof, Nov 24, 2012

I do not really like throwbacks and flashbacks for no apparent reason, and that's what this was. Good to see how things originated, and it actually was not a bad show, but I just wish there was a little more originality shown here. This is something nearly every cop show does.

- Lisbon: (talking about Red John to Jane)Nothing good will come from chasing this man.It's the kind of obsession that destroys people.
  EDIT SHARE
- Lisbon: (to Jane)No offense but you have a bit of a homeless vibe about you.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jane: Teresa Lisbon. That's a nice name.
  EDIT SHARE
- Rigsby: So Minelli really hired this Jane guy?
  Lisbon: Well, he exposed a corrupt cop, dethroned a judge. Those are all major points for us. As far as Minelli's concerned, he's a hero.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jane: Now like I say, there's no such thing as psychics. Let's be clear about that. But the human mind is amazingly powerful. It can do things for real that sometimes feel like magic.
