Then I Was Thinking About A Sandwich.

I love The Mentalist so much. It has its flaws, yes, but I love it. Patrick Jane is a contender for my favourite fictional character of all time, and Jane/everyone in Lisbon's team (with optional Hightower) is without question my favourite 'ship ( Read more... )

Does anyone have ideas I can borrow?

You could always cop out with a Pokemon crossover. Those are your default setting, right? (Or a 'Pony crossover. Those work just as well.)

Or bodyswap adventures.

Or something where Patrick Jane suddenly develops actual psychic powers of some sort and is incredibly upset.

Or something where someone tries to manipulate Van Pelt into thinking she has psychic powers as part of some elaborate scheme to trick her into doing something or being somewhere, and Patrick Jane is trying to show her it's a trick and she keeps going "I'm not saying it is true, just that it might be true" right up until the big reveal.

And zombies is always a good route.

Or dragons. Dragons make everything at least 40% more awesome. True story.

especially considering how few of you actually watch The Mentalist.

Everyone I know seems to watch The Mentalist. REALLY.

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

I LOVE THE MENTALIST. This is something which I feel must be shouted around a lot! Every week while watching it my tweets turn into the Teresa Lisbon Appreciation Space. I love them all in their ways, but Lisbon is my favorite, hands down. I just wish she got more "I beat you at this case, ha!" which I feel like is a criticism for all crime shows with a Special Consultant. They just keep solving the cases and you then just go, BUT BUT THE COPS?
Although she continues to beat him in lots of other fields, like basic human decency and ass-kicking, so there's that.

I just have a lot of Lisbon-based feelings.

LISBON IS AMAZING. She'd easily be my favourite character if she were up against anyone other than Jane. I love how no-nonsense and eye-rolling she is and I love her well-hidden playful streak and I love her trust issues and, yes, I wish she had the opportunity to solve more cases; I've been thinking recently about how nice it would be if Jane weren't always the one to solve it, actually. BUT NEVER MIND, BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING REGARDLESS. I always enjoy hearing you talk about her.

She just holds so much badassery in such small amounts of space. She's got a lot of depth, and although the focus is on Jane I feel like she's been developed very well as a character, and grown in a lot of ways, which sometimes in shows with such a big main character can be ignored. Are you watching as the show airs in the UK? I don't want to spoil you since we've aired up to 407 here.

I will continue to be the president of the Lisbon Appreciation Threads on rionaleonhart's Posts about the Mentalist. Alas, I only have the one icon.
