Well, this is probably long overdue...

Not that I have much to say. It has been a rather blah past couple of months. I blame the weather.

Although, ( The Mentalist )

ramble, mentalist, elementary

I like the reboot a lot. I would have prefered if they'd just fixed the show in its earlier context. I miss the CBI ( ... )

When Fischer asked what Jane's type was and Lisbon was like UM IDK I remember noticing it really highlighted their similarities, to me at least? Idk if that's what they were going for or if it was obvious anyway, which it kind of was, but anyway. Watching everything after the hiatus in one go, I can't realllly differentiate when this happened chronologically, but it seemed to further them not knowing how to have them both in a scene without taking away from each other in a way that didn't really happen with Grace. Blerg. It was like for a while she was going to be the new Lisbon (pfft) and then she just stopped... all these little things make me kind of question the reboot. If it was really smooth... but it's not. :/

I'm really enjoying Jane's reactions though. Like he's realized he screwed this up. It pleases me. Heeee yes this. You express it much better than I do, heheheh. I also like HOW he's expressing this little "oh shit" moment, like he's clearly a little flustered, but still seeming happy for her and making her life easier. ( ... )

Sorry, I got super behind on my LJ comments and such.

I think making Lisbon and Fischer similar to a point is deliberate. And I think it's part of the reason they'd make good friends. But there is a section where they were definitely almost interchangeable. I actually thought they did a really good job with both characters for the first couple of episodes of the reboot. It was the next couple that were rockier, for me.

I'm kind of annoyed by how they're dealing with the Lisbon/Jane at the moment, to be honest. And by kind of annoyed, I mean really annoyed. I understand why, to a point, but I think they've made D.C. a bit too perfect-sounding. And I think the Pike thing has been an episode too long. Also, the number of times Lisbon and Jane have gotten interrupted at the start of a conversation is ridiculous.

I put off replying to this until I couldn't be spoiled by your second/third para, so now I'll go see what you thought of the end, :)
