• The Mentalist Review: A Heated First Kiss (2/11/2012)

  I remember the first episode when Jane taunted the father who had muredered his daughter if he had killed her, the way he answered, emphatic denial and slight incline of the head to the righwas a sure sign that he was lying, any neuro-linguistic student learns to read these signs right off. I'm sure they must have a real mentalist on the set for that kind of realism, but it is sweet to have Simon so well display this with his acting skills, he nails it every time.

  Simon called it the gag murder of the week and he meant that it was a vehicle to insert oneself into the charactor's psyche. I think R.J. went back to Rosalin in order to complete his mission of misdirection, i.e. why kill the morgue attendant and not Darcy as previously teased. Why all the secrecy about releasing the files, Wainright is not a favourite of mine. Rosalin seemed to be in a trance (remember Kristina after R.J.) with the blood on her hands and playing Bach furiously and not sensually as before. As a side point, who did the hair and makeup for this episode, Simon looked tired and overcoiffed lately, Amanda with the cheap eyeshadow and Robin's hair and pale face looked rattled and not by Jane.

  I admist that Lisbon was very blase about the necklace, since she's the one who was there when V.P. shot her fiance, and Grace hanging the locket over her Orchid was a good sign, just like Jane likes to revisit the room where his wife was murdered so as to remind himself of who he was and what it cost him. Rigsby on the other hand is still like a puppy dog who refuses to be trained, and he's getting in more deeply with Sarah. Lisbon is trusting more in Jane's instincts which shows the direction the show is going to go now that Jane has stepped over to the dark side. Baker has even warned the audience that we are going to have to follow him into this journey like it or not. Kudos to the writers to ceate a charactor that is evolving into something less likeable and more sinister and devious that previously entertained.
