What a strong start of this new season! The tone is set, Toby will need to understand that siblings bonds are way stronger than the one they love, and Randall trying to recreate his adoption surely makes me love Beth a bit more. Also good for Kate to finally realize it's her talent and not her looks, although I can truly relate to her thinking it's always about the looks since most of the times it is. That ending with the amazing version of One had me in tears again, I am truly happy that Jack probably dies from a fire and not from drunk driving I seriously would've hated that, although there is still a chance that he was drunk when the fire happened. Also kudo's to the writers for a Gremlins reference lol... It's funny that the big 3 is as old as I am (only i wont be 37 till november), so i can truly relate to some problems they have. Also I hope it will be a long time before we actually see the death of Jack cause when that happens it will probably be over for his storyline and I truly love Milo so I hope we won't see it soon!
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.
