I always notice when Jane smiles it has an eerie resemblance to blood ridden smile Red John leaves behind after his heinous deeds. Is this a well known thing known among fans ? I am at S3 currently and my god if its a well known thing i must be stupid as hell.
If cho is aura farming every second of the episode, jane said let me hold my cup of tea and do the exact opposite😂
Love the duality. him being the smartest guy in the room with the goofiness made the show absolutely worth watching 🫶
Ps. Video credits to the respective owner🫶
We all love Jane. But I think sometimes he misused his charm to manipulate others. Especially Lisbon. She was trusting Jane blindly all the time, despite his antics. And he would befool her or keep things from her at important points. Like the six month sabbatical he took from CBI when he went frenzy. Ofcouse he wanted to safeguard her, but she was his partner. I think Jane could have been more forthcoming at times and not keep his tricks from her simply because he wanted the “thrill.”
At this point tea isn't just a beverage for jane . It's a basic life requirement .
I've noticed several times that she does basic research stuff and acts like she solved a 1000 year old conspiracy. The funnier part is Rigsbys always like ...wow good work, we get you bro u in love.
>!Okay so I just watched the episode where we find out who Red John is. I had been spoiled about it in the earlier seasons but I knew no further than his identity. First of all it's ridiculous how he dies in less than 10 minutes, right after the reveal, it's just stupid. They spent the whole series making Red John look super smart mysterious and intelligent, and in the end he just dies because of bread crumbs and a pigeon. His actor, Xander Berkeley didn't fit the red john role imo, and they hadn't even chosen him to play Red john in the earlier seasons. The reveal was just super rushed and bad imo and red john begging for his life and acting all scared and vulnerable was so out of character for a serial killer...!<
>! !<
Cho always seemed like a self-blaming person, very accountable, cold, and action over mindless pondering. Never the emotional type. Seeing him cry just ticked something inside me.. I don't know what...
The best thing about The Mentalist is how each and every member of the main cast gets dedicated time for their development, not just Jane. This episode was great, Cho aura farmed like crazy I swear 😭😭.
Well one thing I noticed in this episode is the clear parallel between Jane's dad and him during his childhood vs The two baseball kids and their dads.
To put it briefly, both were being used as nothing but money making machines in some way or the other. Parental exploitation for their own greed and the children were almost a means to an end, using endless deception and lies, corrupting their childhood.
What do y'all think? This was another one of my favs in season 2, especially because we get to see more of Jane's past when he was just a kid, and he's still just as sharp.
Like one of my classmates
Watches it
His pfp are the mentalist
His name on discord is Patrick Jane
His home screen is red John smiley
And he lowkey acts smarter than he is
It's so weird to hear someone talk like they are smart or try to speak like that when you know they are litterally less intelligent than most people
Why Not just say you like the series
If your gonna go the whole fanatic way and act smart
At least learn some mentalism or anything
So why do some people do this
"That's the plan."
Why did they have to kill Bosco off so early? I was just starting to love his character 😭. I wish we had more of him with the CBI gang, just imagine the amount of character development potential. Gonna miss him.
I know Simon Baker said nah but i think he wanted to promote scarpetta and he didn't really even wanted to talk about the mentalist or even consider it then, but with time...? Or maybe a spinoff? idk i just like the series so much i'd love new content.
Honestly, while I don't feel like we lost him, a character that could have changed the show completely, I still believe that Craig should have lasted a little longer
Or rather give them a chapter focused on him to at least see what the life was like of some of Red John's subordinates and the Cult control that he had in them, of course without revealing the existence of the Blake organization or things like that
At least out loud.
This is rant, not an educational post (expect lesson 'Don't be an ableist.').
The overwhelming majority of systems' representation is 'they're a (serial) killer'. It's actively harming systems and you're using people's suffering as your amusement. You see systems as this mysterious, mystical, interesting, kinda exotic, not entirely human being. You see them as a useful plot device, to use as you please, to add this mythologic being, to amuse yourself. It's so sickening.
People with DID/OSDD/P-DID and so on are real people with myriad experiences. Associating them with being a serial killer, an abuser is ableist and disgustful.
And you can't just spawn an alter, so Jane would need to do drugs or have a condition, physical or mental, to have 'second personality' (which isn't a second personality in reality, more like a hallucination, and people with hallucinations also aren't serial killers). But for you and other people it's the same, you know nothing and just stop being an asshole using people's suffering to please yourself.
For short films with good representation I recommend 'Petals of a Rose' and 'Alter' by Bugambilia Films (both on YouTube).
