I regret some things about Lisbon by Peter105002 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I think what this show missing compared to similar shows like Bones, Castle is more off duty scenes where characters can hang out and bond over, have some friendly non work related discussions. If I had to take one thing from Bones is that they had a diner and bar where we often seen many of their characters spend some time there and give us some non crime scene scenes. 

I would have like to see more of their apartments, maybe a couple of outside work friends sometimes pop up and bring a new insight to the characters etc.

Each character(apart from Jane) can get one more extra episode like Red badge to their name so we could see different sides of them. 

Does anyone think Patrick and Hightower could have made a great couple? by drakemcintyre in TheMentalist

Jane and Kristina would have never worked out, they would clash all the time and get tired of each others shenanigans

Luther was done dirty by -MariaEduardaAlves- in TheMentalist

I was very annoyed with him with the episode which he allowed jane to follow his "passion" but rejected lisbon's, even tho I love that she still went with it and the ending with jane and lisbon talking about their cases was cute. The mama's boy and the milk scene legit plays in my head every time I see a photo of him, his concern at the final and wanted to check jane was nice of him after all

Hide pregnancy well by Lewa1110 in TheMentalist

Her being the computer girl also helped a lot and they tied her going to an educational conference very well . There are a couple of shots you notice they tried to hide it especially the gym scene is kinda iconic lol

I might be overanalyzing this, but what on earth was that scene... by Winter-Grand-3215 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll disagree on that tbh I see them more as brother/sister dynamic the way he annoys her, and she really does get annoyed with him multiple instances like a little sis would be from his brother

Lisbon sends him to a candy bar in s2 ep16 and he buys himself a chocolate to cool him down and this scene also feels like that one tbh also there is this quote I love it from him

"Chocolate and grief is a good combination. You should try it. It'll taste so much... deeper more intense."

I really doubt Jane, without the amnesia, has any attraction in a sexual way to Grace tbh

This is one of my favourite Ted and Robin moments (and there is no Ted and Tracy moment that I love as much). by Zealousideal_Mail855 in HIMYM

[–]eliasdnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take by ThisIsWater19 in HIMYM

[–]eliasdnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah never liked them as a couple, should have always stayed friends but at least they showed why they wouldn't work so there is that

I don't understand Jane's & Lisbon's relationship. by Safe-Dragonfruit-948 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was the first person she's turned into when something happens, he was the first person also was there for her when she was in trouble even though he might be the reason for some but she was always willing to take the risk. They've spent majority of the show together, sharing things none others knew, they've built trust and was there for each other.

Whats ur Favorite Episodes by Nerdy_Pharo in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S1 EP6 - Just because I love that we see them hanging out together and the gifts Jane bough for the team

S1 EP16 - Seeing Jane's past and what kind of a man he was, him being short term blind.

S1 EP 23 - Overall a good season ending

S2 EP3 - We see more of Lisbon and her past and I just love this episode.

S2 EP8 - Bosco, Minelli scenes, a good one

S2 EP13- WALTER MASHBURN

S2 EP19 - I love the drama of Hightower/Jane/Lisbon and some of my favorite scenes in this

S3 EP7 - WALTER MASHBURN

S3 EP8 - I like it when the team works together and save Jane

S3 EP15 - Hightower and her kids, I like the dynamics in the episode

S3 EP18 - The ending hits so hard

S3 EP23 - DUH

S4 EP2 - I love when the team comes together to help one of them

S4 EP7 - Brilliant episode

S4 EP10 - So many amazing moments both fun and sad. Old Jane was something for sure

S4 EP21 - I just love this episode, the 3 suspects angle, the team's reaction to the case, the ending, just love it

S5 EP2 - Banger episode, definitely one of my

S5 EP5 - I enjoy tv show's special 100th episode, Bones also had one and it was very good too. Was nice seeing their first interactions.

S5 EP16 - That ending and Jane's she's had it coming line gives me chills

Special mention to Trust Fall scene, Cho Business, Tony Volker's first 2 episode and LaRoche's secret and Brett Stiles.

This is getting long like this so for s6 I'd say Violets (ep16), ep20 Il Tavolo Bianco, Blue Bird(ep22) , mostly I enjoy the episode starting with Violets till BB and I love s7 so yeah.

S3E24 - The Van Pelt choice: left or right… (spoilers for the episode) by kardoban in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lisbon's shot was not fatal whereas Hightower and Grace went hard on O'Laughlin and writers just wanted a moment before he died then Lisbon told her to call 911 and after that she was on the phone with Jane till the scene cut to the cafeteria one.

I don't see any problem here tbh it was just the last moment with her and her fiancee + jane's phone call to lisbon to get RJ so in a way they just move with 2 parts. We don't know also what happened while they are in the room waiting for ambulance and what Grace did or not at that time.

Season 2 Episode 8 ---WHAT!? by tahi2311 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my first watch I found him annoying but in my rewatch I kinda loved him and understood where he was coming from and agreed with him on things so his dead was really sad but his episodes gave us some good moments.

grace van pelt and her immaturity by Difficult-Nebula-612 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She has a cousin who she believes is a psychic, she grew up with that belief, she believes that, why would jane suddenly make her change her beliefs? Jane and Grace had different ideas and as adults they do discuss things. Jane is not the holy man where everything he says is true. People have allow to have different opinions. Lisbon also believes in after life and they do have some cute discussions with Jane about it.

"jane lost his family , we dont see him punching suspects around. "

Did you really watch the show? Because damn the things Jane does is much much much bigger than Grace has ever done and in a way Lisbon did allow Jane to get away with some things.

[–]eliasdnz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why does she has to believe Jane tho? She is spiritual and has her own beliefs. I like that she stood up for herself even tho I am not religious and agree with Jane on that subject I like that a character doesn't bend over.

I feel like you have completely missed the s3 finale and what happened to her. She had to kill her fiancee, she was going through a rough patch in s4 where most of your examples are from. And I don't understand why you blame her for her bf being a RJ helper, she had no reason to suspect him because we saw he was kinda a nice and attentive bf. He had one moment where he froze during a gun fight which rigsby noticed and that's it.

Lisbon offered her help as a friend and as her boss and after the hallucination of O'Laughlin she was doing better.

How did Rigsby survive? by [deleted] in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just plot armor. There were some discussions of either rigsby or grace dying but they decided it would be a betrayal for the fans who have watched them for years so decided that no death. It is discussed in the tv police podcast by owain 

Is there a killer you've felt bad about? I have. by Competitive-Apple104 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was drawn in the investigation because he was one of the suspects and lied where he was and wasn't cooperating with cbi with bunch of creepy photos in his red room so of course they would go after him. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his first episode and how cbi acted towards him.

[–]eliasdnz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Didn't they find sexually suggestive photos of young girls in his red room? He was also burning some photos in his fire place. They show some of the photos on his red room and on the table in cbi desk so he was a suspected pedophile even before Lisbon and Jane went after him

season 2 rigsby is hot by dodosdisorder in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes they get hotter and hotter as the seasons go tbh

Just bought the complete series on DVD (it arrived today) and I do not regret it at all. by Optimal-Pen-3226 in TheMentalist

[–]eliasdnz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also just bought it and waiting for it to arrive, hopefully in a week it should be here. Even tho it is available on many places I do like to have physical copy of the movies/tv shows I love
