2x23 Red Sky in the morning

There is no theme or pattern with these gifs, they were just shots during the episode that I liked and I thought caught the atmosphere perfectly.

Happy 16th Anniversary to The Mentalist!

Mentalist Mondays - Week 35

Happy 16th Anniversary to my favourite show! 16 years ago today, on the 23rd of September 2008, the Pilot episode aired. This collage celebrates some of my favourite things associated with the show: the amazing vehicles including Jane's Airstream trailer and Citroen; the wonderful ships with Jisbon, Rigspelt, Chummer and Vylie; the Red John mystery; and several inanimate objects which we as a fandom got obsessed with (the teacup and the couch).

THE MENTALIST SPOILERS DO NOT LOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE RED JOHN ARC I'M LOOKING AT YOU MY SON

WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW JANE CHOSE LIFE THAT HE LITERALLY DID!! WHEN HE KILLED RED JOHN, HE STARTED TO TURN THE GUN TOWARDS HIMSELF AND THEN STOPPED. HE CHOSE TO LIVE IN THAT VERY MOMENT!! HE CHOSE TO WALK AWAY AND CALL LISBON AND TELL HER IT'S DONE. BC AS MUCH AS JANE WANTED TO BE THE ONE TO KILL RED JOHN IT SEEMED PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT RED JOHN WANTED TO BE THE ONE TO KILL JANE AND HIM NOT DYING IS JUST BEATING RED JOHN EVEN MORE! I FEEL LIKE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT AND MAYBE I'M CRAZY BUT HE CHOSE TO LIVE JUST LIKE LISBON SAID HE WOULD IN THAT VERY MOMENT!!! idk I feel like it's a really important moment, at least to me.

Lisbon *about Jane*: I could fix him.

Red John: Please don’t. It took a lot of work to f!ck him up this bad.

I wish I had better pics, but this is the best I found. 😭

what the hand, dare seize the fire?

Pairing: Patrick Jane/Teresa Lisbon  Show: The Mentalist  Rating: Teen and Up Summary: 

She slowed her breathing and searched her mind for a recent memory. Anything at all that might give her some kind of clue. She remembered driving out to Salton Sea. She remembered a body in the desert, and a small diner off the highway. She remembered calling Grace, fighting with Jane, driving back to Sacramento alone. Awareness hit her like a bolt of lightning, and her eyes shot open. The brightness in the room sent a white hot stab of pain through her skull but Lisbon did not close her eyes again. She darted her gaze around and found herself not in her bedroom, but in a brightly lit hospital room with daylight spilling through the half-open blinds, sunbeams pouring over the foot of the bed. The beeping came from a monitor which she was strapped to, the pace of which had increased dramatically in the last ten seconds. She looked down to find herself dressed in a hospital gown and half covered in a scratchy blanket. The distress call. The dilapidated old house. Partridge. Red John. 

I have always wondered what might have happened if Red John had been less charitable when he kidnapped Lisbon in Desert Rose, so I wrote about it! You can read the fic here :)

so i’m watching the mentalist for the first time, (late to the party, i know,) and i’ve just finished the red john arc. honestly my one reservation with 6x08 is not the identity of red john, but that the final chase is backwards. they should have run to the chapel, not away from it - it would have made for a much stronger image

red john, who thinks of himself as a god, dying at the hands of a man who refuses to believe in god, on the steps of an alter. the alter in the chapel of the graveyard where the victims that created the man who defeated him are buried. there’d have been some poetry in that, i think, rather than some nameless lakeside

[koalas-koalas-everywhere]

The way Jane turns his head over and over in an attempt to catch a glimpse of Red John, yet freezes staring forward when he actually leans over his shoulder.

[siennahrobek]

Okay but for real, the season finale for the first season is something else, just in terms of Jane’s actions. He gets all upset with Lisbon about their plan and being led to Red John and Jane has so little regard of his own life. Even when Maya is mentioned, he just. All he wants is Red John. If he can’t have a go at him, he needs Lisbon to get him, even if it means his own death.

This guy is practically allergic to guns most of the time. But the moment this guy makes a move - as obsessed with Red John as Jane is - Jane shoots him in defense of Lisbon. Like he doesn’t even think, he just picks the gun up and does it. And then his hand kinda shakes and he drops it immediately.

Say what you will about the first season of The Mentalist, it’s more episodic nature and Jane’s behavior etc., but the dude cared about Lisbon from the get-go more than he probably gets credit for. And I appreciate that.

Teresa Lisbon Icons | The Mentalist Season 1.

[itkillsmeitbringsmelife]

The mentalist season 1 spoilers under the cut part 2 !!

The fact that Jane says to Theresa that if she gets in his way of getting to Red John she's going to regret it and that Red John is his,

And then he says she should've waited for Red John, and Theresa cries to him that there's people who love him who need him, and he's being selfish what if he died, and he says: But you'd have Red John! And she tells him, I think you don't know what you're saying, you would choose life,

And then when Dumar threatens Theresa s life Jane spends not a second killing him, their only lead, using a gun(which he hates) to spare her life,

So she is the only one that can get in his way to Red John, in Patrick's list of priorities catching and killing Red John isn't as important as Theresa Lisbon being alive and well.

So it looks something like this:

Theresa's life and wellbeing

Revenge/ Killing Red John

His own life and happiness (which he tells himself he can never have if Red John isn't dead, and he is 90% correct)

Anyway, I love him your honour

[phantasmanatic]

okay so they finally put the mentalist on a streaming service and i can watch it without shitty website quality and having to hook my old broken laptop into the tv which is fantastic

what’s also fantastic is seeing Jane interact with Red John in the second episode

SO fucking funny when Jane challenges him to rock paper scissors and he keeps losing. you can see the man wants to kill Jane right then and there soooo fcknndnksksks i love this show

Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 15) - 2x23

The Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 15/?) - Red Sky In The Morning 2x23.

The title of this episode comes from the famous poems - "Red Sky at Night; shepherds/sailors' delight. Red Sky in the Morning; sailors'/sheperds' warning". A colorful sunset often means good weather, while a red sunrise indicates a day of bad weather (because weather patterns commonly move from west to east, especially along ocean trade routes.)

The first physical apprearance of Red John in the show!!

The first mention of William Blake and his poem The Tyger - which becomes pivotal to the plot!

We see Jane have an anxiety attack in the bathroom which is a pretty rare scene to see in any tv series.
