Red John's CBI mole is revealed which leads to a highly emotional confrontation with Patrick Jane.

How many seasons do you think the Mentalist will go on for?
Instead of making new topics whenever anybody has a question, direct any and all questions here. Thanks for not cluttering up the forum!
I love Currie Graham as Walter Mashburn in both the episodes he appeared in. Actually 3.7 "Red Hot" is one of my favorite episodes. It was great to see a different side to Lisbon and to have her have some fun. Can't get over the ending scene! It was just too great, especially how enthralled… More Mashburn looked at her. Felt a little sorry for him, he clearly wanted more. But that's our Lisbon :)) I think he has great chemistry with both Jane and Lisbon and I enjoyed every minute he was on screen. I think the writers could have leave little hints about his return from Europe after "Red Hot" though - it wouldn't have needed to be super obvious, but maybe Lisbon receiving a card or something. I was a little disappointed they just totally forgot about him afterwards even if it was "just" a one-night stand. So I sure hope he will return for some more episodes in future seasons. It's be great to see how both Jane and Lisbon would react. Any other Mashburn or Lisbon/Mashburn fans here?
this show is horrible. it copied psych! it has the same basic idea and storyline, but it's not as good. not even close. it is not even funny but psych is hilarious!!! hystericallllll :d if you want a good show, watch psych! not the mentalist!
hide showthe mentalist is completely mental. it copied psych, but it failed at its attempt to be better. psych was always better, still is and always will be. this show should be taken off or changed. it stinks! psych should sue. but they are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too nice :) but they make fun of it in some episodes hahahaha.
psycho forever!
el show tiene muchos casos en la cual patric resuelve con solo usar la vista.cuando el pone mucha atencion en las reacciones de la gente y cosas que son obvias se da cuenta quen fue. el no tiene reglas que seguir ya que la persona que es culpable lo deja saber de muchas maneras. tambien esta red jones quien le mato a la mujer y a la nina por dejarle una leccion a james. por eso entro a la policia para ayudarlo a encontra a red jones. a lo que resuelve los casos tambien se encuentra con mas pruebas de red jone.
The Mentalist captures everything great you want in a detective drama. Twisted crimes with a satisfying & resolute ending to most episodes. Humour is available in abundance and the characters really grow on you especially Patrick Jane. The best thing about This show is that it has an underlying storyline to it as well. Its not just solving crime after crime and getting no further. Jane's past plays a significant part to the tale of progression. Every now and then we are given what I call 'story episodes'. With other shows you can watch a few episodes here and there and be none the wiser if there was any major developments. With The Mentalist you want to watch all the episodes. All in all The Mentalist gives a good mix of non relevant yet entertaining episodes & Story building episodes, enough to keep you hooked for more. If your reading this, don't procrastinate, download it or something. You'll Be happy you did!
Season 1 hadn't hooked me, for some reasons. 1. The show falls victim to the problem of similar character-driven police shows, like Castle or Law and Order Criminal Intent, that is, you've got one interesting character, here Jane, and the other ones are not nearly as well-rounded. But that has been corrected, a little, during season 2, especially Lisbon is beginning to emerge. ( But I still think they could - should ? - have killed Van Pelt or Rigsby, and kept Boscoe, he was a nice frenemy for Jane ). Anyway, the other characters are often left behind : even when Jane ends up in JAIL, HE solves the case and the writers fail to take the occasion to make the others exist ! 2. The Red John storyline is supposed to close at the show's end, so until then it has to stall. So far (I'm midway through season 2 ), it has only given one good episode in my opinion ( "His red right hand" ). Let's hope we'll at least have an identity before the last episode, and not something out of the blue like he's a split-personality of Jane, which wouldn't make sense. Anyway, I enjoy the show because Jane is a unique character, childish at times, provocative at times, and well portrayed by Simon Baker. I like the way he speaks inconvenients truths, manipulates people, someimes snaps at them ... So I guess it's a nice show anyway, even if not one of the best !
I have always loved this show i look forward to watching it when it comes onto tv. I love how Simon Baker plays Patrick Jane he plays him well. I think that he cares aout the team, It's hard for him though after what red john did to his wife and daugther It would be hard for any person to go through. I think that the writers need for him to find happiness for atleast a little while.
In the past when he does the undercover ops with Van Pelt they have great chemistry when they have their secnes together so I think they should put her as a potenial love interest for Jane.
But that is just my theroy if you agree great if not then write your own opinon.
