The Mentalist

[riffjim4069]

Nice to see Erica Flynn return to the series, and then disappear. I get the feeling three things happened in this episode:

1. Red John helped Erica escape
2. The police escort was Red John himself
3. Patrick knew Red John would help Erica and is using her to find him

Of course, I could be way-off-my-rocker on this one!

What connection is there between Red John and Erica?

How would he know about her?

What connection is there between Red John and Erica?

How would he know about her?

There's no connection that I know of...just a hunch since Red John appears to be keeping an eye on archrival Patrick Jane, and he likes "messing" with the women in Jane's life (and also with Jane): Agent Darcy (FBI), the psychologist (can't recall her name but perhaps she was a psychic) in season two, and someone else I believe. Regardless, I also feel Red John devised and executed Erica's escape simple because it sounds like something Red John would do. Anyway, just a gut feeling I have.

OK, couldn't remember from her previous appearance whether Red John was in that episode.

The now catatonic psychic was the first. Was hoping she would come back at some point.

"Ruddy Cheeks": Jane and the team investigate when a terminally ill salesman is murdered; Cho must face his demons.

S~

I noticed the Friday episode...just thought it was a whacky timer and didn't check further. Ruddy Cheeks? Jeez. It sounds like something people who don't wipe property get...ruddy cheeks!

Anyway, it's nice to see a new episode or two on the tube this time of year - reruns galore.

Cheap Burgundy: I just finished watching and, while this episode was so-so, I thought it concluded

Spoiler

with a really interesting angle in that the FBI (Agent Darcy) suspects Jane of being associated with Red John. Of course, I think it's the opposide...Darcy is in cahoots with Red John or---the more likely scenario---one of her supervisors has planted this notion in her head. As I mentioned last season, I think Red John has several influential partners. We shall see.

Two observations:

1. Somebody appears to drinking too much since we're on a alcohol theme...not that there's anything wrong with that.
2. A magician hiding something? Seriously...isn't thing something all magicians do?

Good episode...until the "Kate Letourneau" ending. It seem all the crime shows have had one or more of these type of shows the last year or two.

Why the fancy title? We haven't seen Red John in a long, long time. I get the feeling he makes an appearance this week.

I'm surprised Red John has not been a larger part of this season's theme. Of course, I get the feeling things are going to drastically change in the final two weeks of the season. My question is, "Can they make a season finale that's one-half as good as last year?" If so, it's going to be very good. We shall see.

Good show...Patrick Jane got himself fired. I wonder what he's up to?

He did I missed that. Shouldn't be half a sleep when I watch this.
Good thing I DVR it.

Yep, watch the last 10-minutes. Sometimes I'll fall asleep and have to go back and watch the parts I missed.
