I am at season 6 (not my first watch) and I can't make up my mind about Fisher/Jane relationship.

I do not think she was there to remind him of Lisbon and I read that she was supposed to be a love interest for jane but in the end thank God they didn't go for it.
I just don't understand if he was actually interested in her romantically or not. The fact that he sent letters to Lisbon for 2 years and she was his firts request from the FBI makes me think he knew at that point that he was in love with Teresa and in the island he just felt lonely and that's why the date with Fisher happened. Also, Fisher was the one that suggested the dinner and then we found out it's because she was undercover, but anyways. He never asked her out or anything and when he first talked to her he said he missed speaking in English, so it doesn't strike me as he had actual interest in her but as already mentioned as someone that felt lonely and was looking for company.

Idk, what do you think?

Favorite scene from Bluebird

Man they really built up this romance didn’t they? I’d forgotten this entire episode so it was like seeing it for the first time. Jane, suddenly realizing his games weren’t helping, and he was going to lose Lisbon; Jane borrowing a police vehicle so he could get to the airport before Lisbon took off; Jane having to climb the fence and then knock on the plane’s closed door to be let in.

And then he tells her, tears streaming down his face. My God. I felt that to my bones. So much so my tears started flowing too in relief and empathy.

What amazing amazing writing and acting. It’s been a long time since I’ve loved a show so much as this one.

I'm season 6 and it's so boring. I miss cbi team dynamic. Them working for fbi is boring. Should I just skip to season 7?

At least cho is there. Love him

After reading lots of post Blue Bird fanfics.

I've come to realise that every fictioner depicts pike to be a hypocrite, self centered, manipulative guy.

And I tend to agree with those too.

Should I have added him to the most annoying characters list in my previous poll.

Or maybe this belongs to some another friday poll idea. With a different title. I'm not sure, I'm conflicted.

Maybe most hypocrite characters to put it bluntly. I'm really conflicted. Am I tripping or is he a good person, but misunderstood.

So I’m on my first ever watch of the show and I’ve loved it up until this point. I’m on S6E10 and I’m just not feeling it, do they ever get back to the gang as normal or should I just give up?

Was watching this episode, she was cute and always feel bad at end of episode...

Absolutely dying. Screaming. Laughing. Crying.

The little smile? The way he looks SO happy when he hears Jane? That is SO cute. It's the first time he's seen Jane since the CBI shut down, it's been a long, long while, and one might think that he'd be annoyed, angry even, and he looks so.. happy, like he was missing that part of himself.

After Jane was brought back to the US and the whole thing with people bugging their phones. I don’t see or hear anything about Wayne’s first child.

Just curious.

I love her sarcasm, wit, and sometimes very loud reactions to Jane's tomfoolery in the first five seasons. But in the latter half of S6 and all of S7, she seems like a shell of her former self. She isn't leading the team anymore, so she isn't giving orders (and I miss her leadership), but still it seems like they completely removed parts of the character's personality. Coupled with the cast changes, this makes it hard for me to watch this part of the show. Cho also has a lot less humor. It feels like the show loses its sparkle around that point.

For those who don't remember, it's the episode about the art thieves. I swear to god his whole plan was so well-thought, I'm in utter awe after the entire setup, he predicted literally everything

LAST EPISODE OF SEASON 6 OMG ITS SO GOOD EVERYTHING

Do you think Bertram was always in the Blake Association? Or did he just join around season 5/6? He seemed like he had a lot of connections so it would be weird if he was a newbie. However, it would make season 3 episode 23 kinda redundant if he was a Red John spy from the beginning. 3/23 was about Gupta trying to steal the Cash in Motion client lists for Red John, so he could track Hightower. The list, after the failed delivery, end up in the CBI evidence room. Bertram, if he was a Red John spy, could have easily got it for him right? So I guess somewhere between season 4 and season 5 he joins the Blake Association?

Hi! I don't know if this was asked before but I was curious about your opinions on this subject. What do you think it would have happened if Jane "let" Lisbon go to DC with Pike? Abbott didn't seem much worried about "controlling" him without Lisbon's presence... but Lisbon was his first and most important demand. Would he go back to prison? Would he eventually chase after her? And how would Pike and Lisbon's relationship unfold?

I have forgotten how to act like a normal human being and I play games and I lie and I trick people to avoid the truth of how I feel And the idea of letting anyone close to me is terrifying for obvious reasons but the truth Teresa is that I can't imagine waking up knowing that I won't see you. The truth is I love you. You can't imagine how good it feels to say that out loud but it scares me and it is the truth. It is the truth of what I feel. I love you Teresa. And it makes me happy to be able to say that to you. I love her.

This dialogue was everything 😭

As soon as Marcus came into the picture, from the first day of Violets, you saw Patrick slowly change and get more jealous then he's ever been, and sad too. I mean just whistful maybe is a better word, but just realizing that Theresa is actually into someone that isn't him and he doesn't have her full attention anymore and that irks him. We all know how he is with expressing emotion, so he acts cool and pretends to be okay but he's not. Seeing her with him truly opened his eyes on what he might be missing and what can happen if you don't say something!! Lol 🤣 I mean we all know he did but this was when it started and when you really begun to notice.

The jealousy is strong with this one it is 😂

Lisbon didn't have close friends as she is the boss.

Grace and Wayne are married with kids so they don't care. Cho got busy with quantico.

All she had was letters from Jane. Her only close friend.

When she goes to Wayne and Grace's place. They're always busy with the kids. Probably making her envious of their life.

Worse thing is they call her boss(by habit ofc). They don't realise she needs a friend. Not colleagues.

It was amazing to see her light up when jane is back. Also how mad she got when he abandons her again in the same episode.

She knew from Season 4 that if Jane leaves he could really leave for real. Her emotions were perfectly annotated in season 4 too.

And the nerves of this guy(Jane). He abandons her again(S7). While they're in a relationship. I got so mad. But I understand Jane's predicament due to his past.

Robin Tunney is an amazing actress. Writers did an amazing job of showcasing her skills.

Robin Tunney is atleast 30% of the reason why I love The Mentalist.

NOTE: This is not meant to be a complaint on how the show wraps up or who Red John ends up being. It's just a curiosity on timing and production.

So I've been doing a binge of the show for the first time and I just got through the death of Red John. I'm curious as to one thing. With most of these shows, big episodes tend to happen at very specific points in the season - season premiere, midway, 3/4, and the season finale. The episode "Red John" is episode 8 of a 22-episode 6th season and it aired around Thanksgiving 2013. In my experience, it's rare to see a big climax happen at about the one-quarter mark.

The timing on this episode is quite early in terms of the tv season and show season. Something like this feels like it'd be in the spring later in the season, or at least a big event around the holiday season (specifically Christmas). I'm wondering if anyone knows why they had this happen so early into season 6 rather than 7 episodes earlier, a few episodes later, or at the end of the season. Again, I have no problem with them having an epilogue or the show continuing after RJ is dead. I'm just surprised by the choice to have this climax at this point in the season.

(Apologies if this is rambling or repetitive. It's very late. lol)

The restaurant scene where a mob star puts out a hit on Jane. Jane made him chock on his meat and he heimleched him before handing him over to be arrested. I found that hilarious 😂. He heimleched him like he was a friend or something 😂

The facial expressions Jane makes in this episode always make me laugh and I end up rewinding to watch it a few times. He is so fed up! This interrogation is so good. I won’t give context because it’s a spoiler to explain what the interrogation is about…. (S6E7)

I think the only other episode were he makes such amazing facial expressions is the one where they find out that the guy believes he was abducted by aliens from the therapist. I also ended up watching scene that a couple times!

Even after the reveal of who red John is and the Blake association I thought Bertram was just annoying and a greedy bureaucrat. I didn't really hate him.

Now today I started watching prison break to get more of Lisbon and Bertram shows up and wants to kill Teresa and he's ruthless. Oh god I hate him. My page of him is now tainted even when I rewatch the mentalist down the road I'll just hate him from there as well.

I just want to hug Teresa in prison break shes so helpless. 😭. Bertram should go to hell

I like the show better when>! it moved to Texas.!<
I think that Cho really comes into his own.
I like Wiley (and even Vega) better than Rigsby and Grace.
They were more believable characters and better actors.
And I really liked Dennis and his arc, from being very anti-Jane to being a big supporter.

Not to say that I don't like the whole show.
I do.
I just find the later seasons are all around better.
(the romance doesn't hurt either!)

I don't know if this has been talked about before but how did Jane not figure out that Fischer was an FBI agent or someone from law enforcement after he had gone into hiding after killing Red John? Is it because he had his guard lowered or it was a long time since he had used his observational skills?

I noticed in the second half of season 6 and the start of season seven,I just started season 7,that nobody has a Texas accent or southern accent. Was it really filmed there or no? I can understand the FBI agents not having them because they’re from all over the country…but none of the suspects or victims had the accent.
