The Mentalist Season Six - 9pm, Channel 5, 29th October

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I'm looking forward to it starting again. I've been working my way through the DVDs so am pleased the new ones start soon.

And they say we'll eventually find out who Red John is this series!

That's my issue - how did that sheriff enthral all those women to that bizarre extent?

DH and I think the IT kid is the new Big Bad

And we can't stand that woman FBI agent.

oh I agree, she is just awful.

Yay, it's back! I have missed feasting my eyes on Simon Baker

Newchoos - no, at the time we thought he did but then the next series he was arrested and saying it wasn't red John etx etx even tho other people thought it was.
I just think the real red John was so lame!

No, I don't like her either.

I don't mind it being a bit lighter actually, it's a nice contrast with the last few episodes, so I'm happy to wait and see how it develops.

Still a week behind. Loved it when Lisbon gave Jane the present she'd got him. I want them to get together!

Has anyone else just watched episode 14?

I thought it was episode 12 tonight

I'm in the US at the moment. Clearly on a slightly different schedule, sorry.

Oh that would explain it

No comments on episode 12 from anyone?

I'm liking it. There were quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. I think the new team is integrating well - I'm glad that Lisbon and the FBI lady seem to be getting on well instead of the writers turning it into some adversarial bitch-off, which would be really tedious and stereotyped. And the cases themselves are interesting.

Bit about Rigsby and Van Pelt running this digital surveillance company with a tiny baby, though. 'Right, sweetie, I'm going to put you down for a nap and go and track some criminals' GPS signals.'

Really enjoying it - do wonder if they are bring in a red john theme again though.
Rigsby and van pelt would not inspire confidence in me with their new company.

No, I thought that. I can see how they can fit the actual work around the baby, but I think having people talk to you about their digital security problems whilst trying to get the baby to sleep is unprofessional.

He had a very sweet giggle though.

Looks like Red John and/or the Blake association are set to reapper soon though.

Just seen episode 12. Glad Rigsby and Van Pelt are back. I always think Van Pelt's supposedly high tech IT stuff looks a bit lame and 90s... anyone else agree? :)

Is it really bad that I'm more interested in the individual stories than the series arc? I'm not really summoning up much enthusiasm for the hacking/killing people off storyline.

I can't stand that lawyer.

Phew, glad that storyline is over. Next week looks more fun.

Shame if so - I think Rigsby's kind of hot but not as hot as Simon Baker, obviously.

Really disappointed with the new series. Van Pelt's fringe is enough to put me off but the heavenly SB keeps me hooked. In fact, what has happened to everyone's hair. The new woman's hair is er undecided , SB's hair is shorter, Rigsby's hair is getting more and more action figure helmet.

Loved when the baby suddenly stopped crying when it eyed the drops in Rigby's hand.

I thought Kin's hair was quite red the first time we met her, it's gone very dark now.

I'm hoping that was just them finishing off a storyline for Rigsby and van Pelt, and we can carry on a bit more normally now.

Haven't they been invited to work for the FBI? The old team are back together. Preferred the slightly hick CBI, personally.
