THE MENTALIST SEASON 6

This series is about a guy named Patrick Jane(played by
Simon Baker) who use to make his living as a psychic who's
wife and son were killed by a serial killer because he was
trying to help the police find him, using his "psychic" abilities!
Kind of a Phych type show, 'cept very serious, although there
is humor sprinkled around in it! Very interesting premise for
a series and very good!!

EPISODE # 1: THE DESERT ROSE(Sept. 29, 2013):

This starts out with Jane and Theresa watching a video of a woman
listing all the names on Jane's "Red John list"!! The story revolves
around Jane and Lisbon getting shipped out of town when a murder
investigation goes slightly awry!! On this trip, they go to an out of the
way town where a skeleton is found, apparently dead for 18 months
or so! While on this case, Lisbon tags all of the seven people on Jane's
list and follows one, with the results less than perfect!! A

EPISODE # 2: BLACK-WINGED REDBIRD(Oct. 6, 2013):

With Lisbon in the hospital, and one less name on Jane's list, this one
revolves around a man who was blown to bits in his car, just after he
had been stopped by a cop and ran!! It all revolves around drones! And
things are progressing with the Red John case!

This makes a vague reference that there may be more than one "Red
John"!! Or at least a conspiracy!

Guest starring here is Christopher Goodman(Star Trek: ENT epsiode
"Azati Prime"), Drew Powell(Gotham), Ivar Brogger(Star Trek: VOY episodes
"Unity" & "Natural Law"), David H. Lawrence XVII(Heroes), Pancho Demmings
(Babylon5: In The Beginning, Star Trek: VOY episode "Nemesis")!! A

EPISODE # 3: WEDDING IN RED(Oct. 13, 2013):

Good old Uncle Larry is murdered just before the big wedding can take
place!! So much animosity and suspects!! I think they all did it!! LOL!!!
Anyway, also going on is Jane and Theresa's suspicions about the good
local sheriff that's on Jane's list of possible Red Johns!! Also happening
here is Grace and Wayne dealing with their relationship!!

Guest starring here: Casey Biggs(Star Trek: DS9, Star Trek: ENT episode
"Damage")!

A fun episode!! A

EPISODE # 4: RED LISTED(Oct. 20, 2013):

A killer who Patrick had buried alive a few years back to get information
from turns up dead while out on bail and all fingers point to Jane! And the
list is down to 5! A

EPISODE # 5: THE RED TATTOO(Oct. 27, 2013):

A dude who was part of a gymnastics company is killed by stabbing!!
It appears that the dude that killed the other dude also got killed by
shooting a short ways from the other murder!! This all goes back to
our friends at Visualize and Stiles!!

Guest starring Robert Picardo(Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek VII: First
Contact, SGU episode "Seizure", Stargate Atlantis, Stargate: SG1, Star
Trek: The Experience, Star Trek: DS9 episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume)! A

EPISODE # 6: FIRE AND BRIMSTONE(Nov. 10, 2013):

Jane feels that he now is armed with enough information to nail Red
John!! He gets all five remaining suspects together to bust him!! Of course
nothing goes as planned!! He calls all the suspects in together to reveal who
Red John is!!

The part of this with McDowell is really stupid!!

Guest starring here is Malcolm McDowell(Star Trek VI: Generations, Heroes)
& Robert Picardo returns! A

EPISODE # 7: THE GREAT RED DRAGON(Nov. 17, 2013):

Welp, narrowed down to two because three of the men had tattoos but
one of them was killed!! After the explosion, Lisbon finds Jane injured but
still alive, and two of the others survived!! Jane wakes up just in time to
save himself from being the next victim!! And then there's the FBI agents
who show up to shut down the whole agency!! A

EPISODE # 8: RED JOHN(Nov. 24, 2013):

And then there was one! And with the agency's hands tied, Patrick goes
out on his own to track down Red John!! A

EPISODE # 9: MY BLUE HEAVEN(Dec. 1, 2013):

Two years have passed, and Jane is away from it all! But the FBI is
still looking for him!! Theresa is back at work as a cop, and they're
harassing her about Patrick, and all of a sudden, Abbott shows up in
his little bit of heaven!! And he's there to offer a job to Patrick!! Oh,
and he's met a woman who is so obviously an agent that it hurts,
and she's trying to get her hooks into him!! A

EPISODE # 10: GREEN THUMB(Dec. 8, 2013):

With one of Jane's demands met, he, Lisbon & Fisher go on a manhunt
looking for a computer programmer who was responsible for the banking
program used by almost every bank in the world!! The FBI is worried that
if he's been kidnapped, he might give out the wrong information that
could bring down the whole financial institution!!

I'm not really fond of the turn this show has taken, and I'm hoping
that it can turn me around, as I really enjoyed the first 5 1/2 seasons!! A-

THIS STARTS DISC THREE, WHICH IS REALLY PITTED!!!

EPISODE # 11: WHITE LINES(Jan. 5, 2014):

Five DEA agents are massacred in their office, and Jane, Lisbon & new
crew are on the job in Texas to find out all the particulars!! This has Jane
making an incredibly questionable move!!

Since the death of Red John and several of his cronies, an obvious lack
of known guest stars has suddenly started!! Also, Rigsby and Van Pelt
have also been on a hiastus!! A

EPISODE # 12: THE GOLDEN HAMMER(Jan. 12, 2014):

A banker runs into several vehicles, jumps out of the car, runs to his
work, and dies!! Full of drugs, as well as horse tranquilizers!! Obviously
murder!! This gets the FBI involved because he's a map maker working
with the Feds! Also happening, Osvaldo Ardiles is back, and asking Lisbon
out for dinner to ask for a favor!! She sends him to the Rigby's!!

This starts an arc about former CBI agents being hunted down and killed! A

EPISODE # 13: BLACK HELICOPTERS(Mar. 9, 2014)

An attorney in Mexico gets killed and most of the team goes to investigate!!
Meanwhile, Lisbon gets on the case of Ardiles' murder!!

This is nearly unwatchable because of the damaged disc!! A-

EPISODE # 14: GREY WATER(Mar. 16, 2014):

This one hits too close to home, as Wayne and Grace get attacked
at their home!!! This takes them to Austin and to the FBI headquarters
where Lisbon, Cho & Jane, along with the rest of the FBI, are honkered
down to find out who's behind the whole thing!! Meanwhile, back at the
normal stuff that happens around the agency, there's a body found in
a fracking operation!! A

EPISODE # 15: WHITE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW(Mar. 23, 2014):

So, this one gets even closer to home, as Grace is kidnapped by the
killer, and it's up to Jane to save the day!!

This is Wayne and Grace's last episode that they are in!!!! A

EPISODE # 16: VIOLETS(Mar. 30, 2014):

This is another Sting type show!! There's been a bunch of art robbies
going around, and in the latest one someone was killed!! Jane volunteers
to help out the art guys catch the perp!!

There's only one of the new group that I find fun, and that's the computer
guy Jason Wylie! A

EPISODE # 17: SILVER WINGS OF TIME(Apr. 13, 2014):

A guy gets on a bus, but just before, he swaps briefcases with another
dude and boom, other dude's dead!! This is all about a previous murder
that a man's on death row for!

Guest starring John De Lancie(Star Trek: TNG as Q, also on DS9 & Voyager,
as well as Stargate SG1 & Legend!!) A

EPISODE # 18: FOREST GREEN(Apr. 20, 2014):

A hooker's body is found near an all men's club, and when Jane and
Lisbon go to investigate, things get really weird and an obvious cover-
up is going on!!

On a side note, why they felt it necessary for Lisbon to have to have a
love interest other than Jane is beyond me, and to me a throw away
story arc!! Totally unnecessary!!! A

EPISODE # 19: BROWN EYED GIRLS(Apr. 27, 2014):

Jane literally runs into a very suspicious character who's carrying a couple
paper bags full of stuff that piques his curiosity!! This leads him, and later
Lisbon, to a human smuggling ring!!

Guest starring here is Titus Welliver(Star Trek: Voyager episodes "Equinox"
Parts 1 & 2)!! A

EPISODE # 20: IL TAVOLO BIANCO(May 4, 2014):
(The title means "The White Table")

Continuing from the last episode, this is also a scam on the grand jury
perpetrated by Abbott using Jane's murder of Red John as a ruse to find
a bought juror!! And Cho is getting maybe a little to personally involved
in the trafficking case!! Oh, and Lisbon makes her decision!! A

EPISODE # 21: BLACK HEARTS(May 11, 2014):

Still continuing both the abducted girls and Lisbon's decision!!

Returning is Titus Welliver! A

EPISODE # 22: BLUE BIRD(May 18, 2014):

The case: a man is killed on a campus, which Jane solves it in about 5
minutes, as he's quite distracted by the fact that Lisbon is leaving!!

Of course, all things being Mentalist, nothing is as sure as serial killers!!
And this one dredges up an old case from 5 years ago of which the perp
was never caught!! And the whole team heads off to Miami!!

While it was obvious from the receipt of the letter what was going on,
it still was fun to watch Patrick work the "room'!!! A

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

When The Mentalist first premiered, I wasn't too
sure how long a show about a fake psychic would
last...but I'm so happy they never touched it and
let it run as long as it did.

"Cho" has always been my favorite due to the 'stare'
he gives stupid people. :) I'm hoping a spin off follows
that brings Van Pelt & Rigsby back - maybe their
quick cameo in the final show is a hint?? Gotta have
Wylie to bring in that 'virginistic' tech dude vibe...and
there is someone female that I wish could come back,
but can't (no spoilers!). She would've been worth
watching working side by side with Cho.

I'll definitely miss this show and can't wait to see
what everyone's up to throughout the year. - jen_marien
