There are already plenty of long-winded courtroom procedure shows, Although what i was asking for in the season 4 premiere would have been lovely . Tonight's show says, Forget the tiny excruciating layers of real-time reality-based detail, forget reality regurgitation, Let yourself read the fun sexy crime novel, have some fun, keep it moving, and enjoy the plotline like a surfing expedition.
As you watched the final 10 minutes of Blinking Red Light, as you heard Patrick Jane allow, nudge, ignite the conflagration of the San Joaquin Killer by opening the space for him to Insult Red John--did your skin crawl? Did you get a chill? Was there ANY doubt about what you would see as you turned that corner with Jane, into the big crashing wave?!

4.1 scarlett ribbons Oh, sadness. This premiere was coming off of one of the best cliffhangers. This show had pizzazz and a wonderful mix of humor, realism, fantasy, imagination, and timing.
I was SO ready for at least a half season-long working though
of this incident. With the details! give us the details. We wanted to see a few hands of poker in the pokey. we did not even get one! We wanted the team to show its abilities in The Tracing of the minions of Red John who made it look like there was no gun or phone; the unraveling of the RJ network, the obtaining of the Million Dollar bail, even this premiere episode could have been worked into it. The Righteous Anger of Grace!
But to Wrap It Up!? NO NO!! bad dog.
Biggest gaffe:
No one who watches TV can get past the unrealism of a murder trial that happens within weeks of the event. No one!
Swamp of Boredom writes: "...as far as the legal repercussions, over in 42 minutes. Jane had the quickest murder trial in legal history. Lisbon was still wearing her arm sling so, let’s be generous and say she wore that for 6 weeks, though in reality, probably only a few days passed. Where was the media frenzy? Where was the snail paced court system? This is California, after all. Those are two hallmarks of California justice...."
Actually, this lengthy post from swamp of boredom says most of what i wanted to say.
Even like, Lisbon never looked better; Red John will go after her; the inconsistencies of how the team dealt with the aftermath... In a couple scenes of Lisbon and Jane- i thought, this is the sexiest couple on tv. But when i saw they were going to wrap this up in one episode, i yelled, NO! Make him be dreaming! I had almost hoped that when he started talking about how the killing did not really resolve anything for him, he would WAKE UP from the dream, still in prison...and realize perhaps he did not want to kill RJ anymore...
I am not pleased about this.
However, i have decided to make T-shirts that say:
I want to be like Cho.
i wanna be like CHO
Iwannabelike CHO
OK I CHANGED MY MIND> after the Blinking Red Light episode on November 3 HERE
Original song: Tears for Fears (Wiki) this song has a lot of folks covering it, but here is the one used for The Mentalist next week: (details and Mad World Lyrics and Gary Jules live ) at end of post. Here is Gary Jules' version and original vid:
interesting, i stumbled on this song after many years and put up a post about it, and then last night heard the song on the preview of mentalist where he is going to be face to face with RED JOHN. Yikes!

"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both "Mad World" and its B-side, "Ideas As Opiates", would turn up on the band's debut LP The Hurting the following year. The song would eventually become Tears for Fears' first international hit, reaching the Top 40 in several countries between 1982 and 1983.
Nearly two decades later, the song made a popular resurgence when it was covered in a much slower, ballad-like style by composers Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko. This version reached #1 in the UK in December 2003, and became an international hit." from wiki link above
Lyrics: All around me are familiar faces Worn out places Worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow No tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen Sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
ook right through me Look right through me And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Enlarging your world
Wait in line 'Till your time Ticking clock Everyone stop Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me
Woooohh Do you believe In what you see There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line Do you believe in What you seeNine to five
Living lies
Everyday Stealing time Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Woooohh Do you believe In what you feel It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see
Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Different things to me Different things to me
Different things to me Everyone's taking everything they can Everything they can
