The Mentalist "Blue Bird" Review
The Mentalist in a nutshell: It's all an ILLUSION (read: VISUAL LIES) that Patrick Jane can find a pacific ending as a "Blue Bird" flying over the rainbow.
Dr. Linus Wagner: Everything you told me, Mr. Jane, is total fiction, isn't it?
Jane: From the INCEPTION
"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?" SOZ- Song from OZ
The Mentalist (read: Bruno Heller) really pushed the envelope of suspension of disbelief in "Blue Bird" as the usual suspects all figured out Patrick Jane's mystery "color bird hotel" clues, not to mention Jane got away with fabricating a letter from the killer of a cold case to send the Austin FBI agents to the Blue Bird Inn in the Keys because he had the hots for his woman in the red dress, and the FBI in Miami apparently doesn't exist. Assuming the FBI is deep into national security investigations, how does it get called to investigate the murder of the college kid found in the deep end of the kiddie pool? Bruno must think The Mentalist viewers are either bird brains or brain dead in a Medusa-like trance (note the Medusa tile mosaic). The murder mystery was most foul as the real story was in the end: Jane, a really blue bird, lost his head when he tried to fly over the rainbow with Lisbuns on a Pacific flight. Maybe that's how the writers "PERSEUS." While it appears Jane and Lisbuns go "Holmes " again, it's only in Jane's dreams because (See B.S)...
This BLUE BIRD is All an ILLUSION
Scrambled eggs: Golden Man Patrick Jane appears to be a Sherlock Holmes super-sleuth character, but in reality is a mental patient with a cracked eggshell who suffers from paranoid delusions due to feelings of extreme guilt in the deaths of his wife and child who were burned as he was (CBI = intensive burn care?) in a horrific car accident involving a driver named Tanner when he failed to stop at a BLINKING RED LIGHT CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, hence the RJ symbol, while he was driving intoxicated and spends his days with the remote watching TV shows, which generate his ideas for the delusional episodes. Note: Jane's eggshell blue car - a vintage 1972 Citroen DS 20 that Warner Bros., producer of "The Mentalist" for CBS, had in its inventory. It was used in the 2008 movie "Speed Racer." For "The Mentalist," the car was shipped from Germany and painted eggshell blue (it was originally red).
Burning Clues: "The Mentalist" is obsessed with fire, as in half the episodes it plays a significant plot point. Items: Jane burns his Red John files with a bottle of booze. Out of the Frye-ing pan into the... As Kristina Frye discovered, when you get too close to Red John, you get burned. "Tiger, Tiger burning bright, they were "Au-burned." In the "Red Mile" episode Jane arrives at a crime scene outside Auburn, California. Shouts from Alabama football fans of "Roll Tide" first appeared during the Alabama-Auburn Tiger IRON BOWL game in 1907. Note the Auburn football game was playing on the bedroom TV in "Desert Rose. "Curiously, a corpse was found in a burned car in "Ruby Slippers," in which Jane discovers the identity of Fifi Nix, like Jane's Phoenix, has risen from the ashes of his past life. In "Red Dawn" Jane is given a desk next to a fire extinguisher that is there, then it's gone, then it's there again. Fake Red John read all about it - catch the fire-y headline on the front page of the newspaper Tim Carter was reading before Jane shot him. Red John appeared to Jane in the burn mask. Jane: It's not my fire.
THE WILD WESTPHALL WORLD OVER THE RAINBOW
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Red John is Patrick Jane's imaginary evil twin, his "perfect symmetry" alter-ego (Jane/John)Professor Moriarty character in a Tommy Westphall" imaginary world like "St. Elsewhere's" snow globe and "Life on Mars" that is the dream state of Jane. (NB. The fake Jane character in "Red Moon" where a corpse was found in a burned car was named Ellis Mars (El - He is Mars.) Ellis Mars: The mind is a powerful weapon. It can create reality. Mr. Nguyen was LOST (also in the Westphall Universe) but was found in "Green Thumb."
Jane: Perhaps we can see each other again.
Lorelei: That’s not up to me.
Jane: Oh, you have no say in it?
Lorelei: None at all. It’s very "Westphall."
Jane: I don’t follow you.
Lorelei: I do what Red John tells me to do.
Red Face to Face
Mentalist in a Box
The Man with Two Names -- Red John's alias is ROY Tagliaferro (read: "cut iron"). The ROY CUT IRON anagrams are "court irony" and "you r citron." How ironic that Jane, the court jester who arrives at the crime scene in his Citroen and master reader of how others' emotions control them and their need to let go of the past, was a prisoner of his ironic chains to the past. Until Jane leaves his old life behind, The Mentalist is on the mental list, a PRISONER of his own device.
Drink Scotch Whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel
Call me Idea Con Blue
"The DESERT ROSE"
Perhaps Bruno referred to a song that Sting made famous. The lyrics will burn in your imagination and perhaps provide a clue about Patrick Jane's:
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her seven veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems.
Really
Jane: Lisbuns, in my dreams I see you in red.

The Mentalist Signs for Season Seven
It was all an ILLUSION The Mentalist was on the CBS cancellation list.
NEWSFLASH: Golden Man Simon Baker's The Mentalist will return for a seventh season after hitting series low ratings in its sixth run. It's unclear how many episodes the green light is for -- or if it will be the show's final season, though a shortened run to wrap it up. The Sunday night procedural was the only returning CBS series to not get an early renewal this year but was granted a pickup after producers Warner Bros. Television had been shopping the series around. With time-shifting, The Mentalist is averaging a 2.3 rating with adults 18-49 and 12.5 million viewers.
Jane: Lisbuns, "Seven" is my lucky number.

The Mentalist "Brown Eyed Girls" Review
The Mentalist in a nutshell: It's all an ILLUSION (read:VISUAL LIES) that is "TAKEN" too seriously (See B.S.)
Dr. Linus Wagner: Everything you told me, Mr. Jane, is total fiction, isn't it?
Jane: From the INCEPTION
Patrick Jane literally stumbles onto Mr. Ridley's vast international sex trafficking ring that leads the FBI on a manhunt to look for kidnapped "Brown Eyed Girls." I don't know which is more improbable - Jane's timing or the idea that Mexican smugglers would pose as a modeling agency to kidnap naive American girls and sell them to a "Mideast" sex market. The opening scene provided a clue as Jane was standing next to the "Home of the Wacko" sign beneath the rainbow lights. While the sign could have foreshadowed Jane stumbling onto a real wacko who took a badly injured kidnapped girl shot trying to escape her captors to his house to "fix her", perhaps it was a sign the story itself was wacko. Yeah, sex trafficking is a major criminal activity around the world and American girls are victims, but to believe they are kidnapped inside the US and trucked to Mexico, there are enough "Brown Eyed Girls" there, don't you think? And how would the traffickers get them to their Middle East destination? It was plausible the hero's daughter in "Taken" could have been "taken" by the evil creep's yacht, but France is a lot closer than Mexico and Mr. Ridley will not get away "Scott Free." As the premise was implausible, consider the impossible scenario that Jane and Abbott would head South to trick the kidnappers to come back North to retrieve their truck of women. Talk about a suspension bridge of disbelief, not to mention the "Smokie and the Bandit" gag, they are lucky they didn't get LOST..

THE WILD WESTPHALL WORLD OVER THE RAINBOW
Nothing Gold Can Stay
"Over The Rainbow"
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?
"The DESERT ROSE"
Perhaps Bruno referred to a song that Sting made famous. The lyrics will burn in your imagination and perhaps provide a clue about Patrick Jane's:
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her seven veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems.

Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?
"The DESERT ROSE"
Perhaps Bruno referred to a song that Sting made famous. The lyrics will burn in your imagination and perhaps provide a clue about Patrick Jane's:
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her seven veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems.
Jane: Lisbuns, if you leave I will miss your green eyes, but there are so many lovely brown-eyed girls.

The Mentalist "Forest Green" Review
The Mentalist in a nutshell: It's all an ILLUSION(read: VISUAL LIES) when you can't see the "Forest Green" for the trees. (See B.S.)
Dr. Linus Wagner: Everything you told me, Mr. Jane, is total fiction, isn't it?
Jane: From the INCEPTION
Forest Ranger Green calls the FBI after a murdered girl is amazingly found among the trees in Sam Houston National Forest, and Patrick Jane amazingly deduces she must have been killed at an exclusive all-male hideaway, if you don't count the waitresses and the prostitutes. Then Jane amazingly senses a waitress friend of the murdered girl by the scent of her shampoo, who spills the beans on the night crawler activities of her gay-prostitute murdered friend and the other hookers at the "fishing camp". Amazingly, Wiley taps into the "National Forest Service satellite" to find the body of the pimp for the murdered prostitute, which leads to the arrest of the murderer, a sleazy lawyer who was caught in the act of blackmailing his client. Oh yeah, Lisbuns gets hooked by a Pike. It's all so amazing... and fishy.
TM is down to the final four shows and I am LOST in the woods. How the hell will Bruno Heller wrap the fishy story? What happens to our Holmes, Patrick Jane, if Lisbuns, his Dr. Watson, accepts Pike's bait to join him in DC? Will it push Jane over the rainbow, and OMG what if he and Kim Fisher start angling each other? Let's hope Jane doesn't get LOST in the woods like poor ol' Dexter. According to a tweet from TM writer Jordan Harper, the finale ends on a distant shore. Well, it better be a real whopper or Bruno and the writers will be the ones on the hook. As Jane says, "Welcome to the fishbowl."
This BLUE BIRD is All an ILLUSION
Scrambled eggs: Jane appears to be a Sherlock Holmes super-sleuth character, but in reality is a mental patient with a cracked eggshell who suffers from paranoid delusions due to feelings of extreme guilt in the deaths of his wife and child who were burned as he was (CBI = intensive burn care?) in a horrific car accident involving a driver named Tanner when he failed to stop at a BLINKING RED LIGHT CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, hence the RJ symbol, while he was driving intoxicated and spends his days with the remote watching TV shows, which generate his ideas for the delusional episodes. Note: Jane's eggshell blue car - a vintage 1972 Citroen DS 20 that Warner Bros., producer of "The Mentalist" for CBS, had in its inventory. It was used in the 2008 movie "Speed Racer." For "The Mentalist," the car was shipped from Germany and painted eggshell blue (it was originally red).
Burning Clues: "The Mentalist" is obsessed with fire, as in half the episodes it plays a significant plot point. Items: Jane burns his Red John files with a bottle of booze. Out of the Frye-ing pan into the... As Kristina Frye discovered, when you get too close to Red John, you get burned. "Tiger, Tiger burning bright, they were "Au-burned." In the "Red Mile" episode Jane arrives at a crime scene outside Auburn, California. Shouts from Alabama football fans of "Roll Tide" first appeared during the Alabama-Auburn Tiger IRON BOWL game in 1907. Note the Auburn football game was playing on the bedroom TV in "Desert Rose. "Curiously, a corpse was found in a burned car in "Ruby Slippers," in which Jane discovers the identity of Fifi Nix, like Jane's Phoenix, has risen from the ashes of his past life. In "Red Dawn" Jane is given a desk next to a fire extinguisher that is there, then it's gone, then it's there again. Fake Red John read all about it - catch the fire-y headline on the front page of the newspaper Tim Carter was reading before Jane shot him. Red John appeared to Jane in the burn mask. Jane: It's not my fire.
THE WILD WESTPHALL WORLD OVER THE RAINBOW
Red John is Patrick Jane's imaginary evil twin, his "perfect symmetry" alter-ego (Jane/John)Professor Moriarty character in a Tommy Westphall" imaginary world like "St. Elsewhere's" snow globe and "Life on Mars" that is the dream state of Jane. (NB. The fake Jane character in "Red Moon" where a corpse was found in a burned car was named Ellis Mars (El - He is Mars.) Ellis Mars: The mind is a powerful weapon. It can create reality. Mr. Nguyen was LOST (also in the Westphall Universe) but was found in "Green Thumb."
Jane: Perhaps we can see each other again.
Lorelei: That’s not up to me.
Jane: Oh, you have no say in it?
Lorelei: None at all. It’s very "Westphall."
Jane: I don’t follow you.
Lorelei: I do what Red John tells me to do.
Red Face to Face
Mentalist in a Box
The Man with Two Names -- Red John's alias is ROY Tagliaferro (read: "cut iron"). The ROY CUT IRON anagrams are "court irony" and "you r citron." How ironic that Jane, the court jester who arrives at the crime scene in his Citroen, a master reader of how others' emotions control them and the need to let go of the past, was a prisoner of his IRON-ic chains to the past. Until Jane leaves his OLD LIFE BEHIND, The Mentalist is on the mental list, a prisoner of his own device.
ROY G BIV - Green, Violet, Blue and the other colors of the Rainbow
Nothing Gold Can Stay
"Over The Rainbow"
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
