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

Yes! That is what I have been doing too. I am considering it a minor accomplishment that I'm halfway through one of my library books. At least I seem to have broken the complete reading apathy. I'm hoping it settles once the weather does. IF IT EVER DOES.

I am getting excited about the trip too. I'm sure it will be excellent. HOPEFULLY.

If you haven't been to London, its great. I lived there for a year while I did my Masters at Kings college and I loved it. I also traveled to Wales. It rained alot. Liked the castle in Cardiff.

I loved last week's Elementary. Very nice Sherlock-Watson moments and nice plot.

Enjoy your trip.

I've never been to the UK. So I'm excited. Thanks.

Yes, Lisbon is dating another FBI Agent, but one in a completely different division. It's not like she's dating Cho (which would be super-weird, btw)

LOL. Yes, I think in that case my brain would explode. It would be really, really weird hahaha. But I get what you mean about that comment. It was fine when Rigsby casually tried fishing for information, but the fact that Fischer sounded a little judgmental annoyed me. Don't waste this Fischer/Lisbon potential, show ( ... )

There was definitely judgement from Fischer. And her interest in Lisbon's love life at this point *only* makes sense in the context of Jane. Because it is somewhat relevant if Lisbon and Jane are a couple. And Rigsby can pry a little because he is Rigsby and he's known them longer. Also, why isn't Fischer vaguely judgemental of Pike too at this point? It was a weird scene. I know it was a set-up for Cho's awesome one-liner, but it wasn't a good one ( ... )

Here via the patrick_teresa comm, and am delighted/surpised to discover that the UK is so close to the US airing dates of The Mentalist. I do share your glee about what's happening with Lisbon (finally).

Yeah, I just wish they'd bothered to start some of this stuff with Lisbon years ago, tbh. Because it's about time.

You're who I come to when I catch up on The Mentalist, haha. So here I am again! Sorry ( ... )

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.
