The Mentalist 4.21 reaction post. SPOILERS
Overall, the writing was a bit subpar even for The Mentalist at times, but the episode made up for it in terms of imagery and visual metaphor.
Beware of spoilers. Please keep in mind while reading the reaction post, I write it as I watch, so if something seems amiss, I was making assumptions that got answered later.
- Oh please not another person on fire please.
- Well, hopefully they won’t show it.
- Oh, hey, I know some of these queens. Not personally, but you know from other things.
- Shangela is determined to be in all my shows.
- lol Lisbon just gets pulled out there.
- Oh, Lisbon, if only you knew you were on a TV show. Then you’d know to zero in on the drag queens, because why else would they be there? Although, if we get another business into the story line soon, it could have stemmed from them.
- Are we having a bullying episode?
- To be honest, I don’t blame the kid for not telling his dad (if he didn’t). I’m sure as hell never telling my parents.
- At least this is a different bedroom set than the purple one we keep seeing every week.
- Ew. Hanson.
- I like this queen.
- Bet he works there.
- Ha! He does.
- That’s an interesting face, Rigsby.
- And more props for Rigsby’s faces.
- I see so we’re going to go with the idea from the news of a webcam to prove abuse.
- lol “You said, ‘happily.’”
- lol “Have you been wearing perfume?”
- I love Cho. “You’re an overrated bum.”
- Love the Wizard of Oz references.
- Uh…wow, writers, just dude.
- lksdjflskfjsldkfjdskljsdl the puppies.
- Omfg. THE PUG IS LIKE CHO. I thought that too.
- lol pink phone. Makes me think of “A Study in Pink.”
- That’s what I thought the story would be when they showed the guy at the apartment, that the two were lovers.
- lol “Stops my heart every time.” No truer words said on this show.
- Good. They’re going to have this conversation.
- What are you up to, Jane?
- Ah. That’s so sad. I didn’t see that coming.
- Feels like it could be the ending, but we’ve got five more minutes. So, maybe we’ll get something interesting? Because really “Sometimes a dark alley is just a dark alley” would have been a great line to end on.
- Not going to rinse the cup out?
- Oh right. Last five minutes to showcase the queens. Makes sense.
- loooooooool OMFG.
- But how did that body get identified as him then?
- Oh God. I love it.
- I love that they did this all in drag.
- Ah, so that’s how the dental records happened.
- Of course, they’d dress her up as Dorothy. This is making up for the lulzy writing.
