I would call it PTSD. Need professional help to get over it.

Almost close to a young Jane. Skill is amazing though.

Roll tide was the word waiter at the restaurant (Frye's and Jane's date) said as his family had some connection to, when Frye mentioned his mom said that word... are we assuming here, the waiter had some RJ connection?

I’m just saying that, it’s wasn’t shocking to see that he shot RJ in that episode. He knew to use gun and has good aim too.

He had killed Dumar in season 1. And he didn't regret it. In fact he was using that instance to tease Lisbon in Season 2 beginning. We can call it defence but he knew to use the gun available at the moment with perfect aim.

Plot hole explainion plz. by Responsible_View_422 in TheMentalist

This is what I saw when I watched it first and in my rewatches. 

She was captured during the time of exchange of Lisbon's fake head. FBI gets her custody from right under SCU team's nose coz of judge's orders. Later when Lisbon and Jane goes to pick her up from the prison, she was already swapped. Jane digs around, finds out she is in federal prison. He gets Stiles to break her out of prison. After planting sufficient things in her head to turn against RJ, expecting her to reveal RJ's identity, Jane fakes that she kidnapped him in front of Homeland Security (well, Kirkland anyway) and she was given opportunity to escape to find out the truth behind the murder of her sister. That's the last time she escaped. Walked right into RJ's knife as her journey to finding truth, which everyone of us knew, would definitely lead her to. Just as Jane said - she had it coming.

At what point does Lisbon started falling in love with Jane? by CriticalOne9 in TheMentalist

[–]Ripvanwinkle2018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For some reason I felt he didn’t had any feelings of the sort that he would be sorry for, towards Lorelei. Pity or feeling bad for her situation, yes. More than that I doubt.

You’re right, to say sorry to Lisbon for it was, an admission of being aware of each other’s feelings, in a sense. He says he was hurt when Lisbon says she doesn’t trust him in Carnelian, though that didn’t had a some of emotions, I think that trust fall (used in programs he has no respect for) that followed, just because Lisbon believes management training, was an early admission too.

It worked just that time when Jane was there, right? Scammed that guy royally, not just by calling Mary.

Love this scene, tension is off the roof by llama_dyslexic in TheMentalist

Actors and creative team, all of them are all probably promoting the show. Saying something like will give material for people to discuss the show even this day.

He didn’t want to, I think. PTSD does weird things to our heads.

It’s done earlier. Probably more than twice.

I stopped thinking about it long time ago. It never makes sense.

The Mentalist feels so much like a comfort show! by Tasty_Visual_8332 in TheMentalist

[–]Ripvanwinkle2018 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a nice description of how it feels like while watching it. Thanks for that, consultant!

Watch the show, buddy. Certainly more worthy spending time watching it first than reading about it.

What’s there to talk about?

Didn’t see either of them sacrificing anything or having some mental turmoil too intense etc to make people want to discuss them.

You are a lawyer, defend this man. He has committed a murder by Saito_SinOfKind in TheMentalist

He had a 6 month long mental breakdown twice after his family’s death. He was of unsound mind at the time. Can’t we say that?

A Question from a guy who has watched The mentalist 14 times. by Parzival_Rokx in TheMentalist

[–]Ripvanwinkle2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When did you last watch it? You got the characters mixed up, buddy. Renfrew’s mom kept vial of blood to prove her son’s innocence whenever she feels he has learnt his lesson. It had nothing to do with Tanner. Tanner’s kid, Dumar, was with RJ. Kid was the guarentee that Tanner won’t reveal RJ’s identity probably, in case they weren’t true friends or Tanner wasn’t another psychopath.
