Quick Shots: Mini Review of Black Helicopters

Ah, yes, we can all be happy The Mentalist is back!  The spring premiere brought fun and surprises.  Of course this mini review has spoilers.  Tomorrow I will post a more in depth review.  I do not own the picture below.







-The gifts were a great way to show us new sides to the team.  They all were into whimsical and fun popular items.  It showed them that Jane knew them (adding to his worth and Abbott's willingness to put up with him).  Before people say "But he didn't get anything for Lisbon!"  these were gifts that meant something in their childhood.  They were gifts they always desired.  Lisbon already got hers in the first year- the pony for her birthday present. 

-The episode showed a great contrast between Kim and Jane and Lisbon and Jane.  I'll go into more depth tomorrow on this but it clearly showed that Jane and Lisbon's partnership is something special that they are both just starting to realize.

-Jane was so relaxed...not even concerned with tasseled loafer's death.  He's had the worst happen, he has seen a monster out of his reach before but now he is at peace.  Partly because he killed Red John and also because he is forming a new life with the people he wants to.

-This ep also honed in on how Jane is now settling down and looking for something more than being an obsessed man in pain.  More on that tomorrow.

-Big kudos to the wonderful Erika Green Swafford who always writes such fun epsiodes, Randy Zisk for the great direction and everyone who created Mexico and put Jane in denim.
