Still one of my favourite episodes.
That was interesting but not the ending I was looking for. I would have liked more hero vs hero action. It was a strange game played between Madelyn and Homelander. We needed more Black Noir. and less Fishman.
For a split second the ending of this episode reminded me of a certain scene from a well known 70's Sci-Fi film.
great first episode, i like seeing him make mistakes the bryan mills we known would never make, as is appropriate for this time in his career. I'm looking forward to the rest of this season it will either be amazing or disappointing. I'm thinking it has the potential all the elements are there.
I have been a fan of the mentalist from day 1. And I have always loved this show deeply. What I never understood was why they would go through when the "red line" of the show has ended. To me the strong episodes were mostly the Red John episodes the ones where you could really see Patrick Jane as a normal human being. I was very disappointed when they revealed Red John always felt like it was supposed to be some else entirely. (Still think it should've been Bret Styles!) I would have been ok with this ending right after the revealing of the Red John episode. But no they had to put 1,5 season more into it. Which I don't understand. Season 7, although the ending is the ending this show truly deserves!, has no added value to the whole series. I was hoping that they would reveal that they didn't catch Red John but it was never about that anymore, that storyline was over. And to have us like Vega and Wylie and then kill Vega off just doesn't do this show justice as we have seen many amazing episodes in the past. If you watch the 1st episode of the Mentalist you know you don't have to be a psychic to see that Lisbon and Jane are meant for each other. The nice things about a well planned finale is having old faces come back again. I really didn't like the departure of van Pelt and Rigsby and was really happy to see that they returned for the final 2 episodes of this show. Also the final 3 episodes were finally up to the high mentalist standard that we've grown to love over the years.
