The Mentalist S05E01: The Crimson Ticket Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney), Kimball Cho (Tim Kang), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) -- FBI Agent Gabe Mancini (Ivan Sergei), FBI Agent Reede Smith (Drew Powell)
The best part of this show was that they didn't make Jane a tough guy. He never fights anybody. He runs from danger. But he's also not shy about putting himself in danger.
Which fits because he's cocky enough to truly believe there's no situation he can't think, prestidigitate, or charm his way out of. And when he finds himself in those rare situation, we see just how good of an actor Baker is.
I admit that's what made the character so fascinating and entertaining to watch but a little bit irritating at the same time; because if you gonna antagonize people to the point they attack, you should be able to protect yourself from that and if you're gonna throw yourself in danger situations, you should be able to get yourself out when your allies aren't able to get to you right away. Lol 🔥💯😁😉👍
@@vmaninc.761 Remember he is a trickster. That is his background. He's not Jack Reacher. But when the situation calls for it, he does risk his life to help the people that are important to him.
They should have introduced a new killer or killers and their story arcs especially after Red John was over. They could have kept it going with a few more seasons if they had wanted to. It seemed near the very end they writers were losing creativity for some reason, he could've done anything. At least they gave it a proper closing with him and Lisbon.
@@dontwatchmydoomvideos You pose an interesting question: Does one have to be aware of irony for it to BE ironic? Let us pause. I think the Statue of Liberty has gone from being iconic to being ironic in one generation. But that's just me. Happy Independence Day! [Am I being ironic?] Then there is facetiousness. Some other time. Have a worthwhile day.
Right. But it seems that that part was written later. I believe that the showmakers had not really decided on Red John up until the very last season, let alone on his associates.
I love how Jane always sets up for the long con with people who irritate him or underestimate him. He takes the L and then drops the bomb about the bead in the pocket (although he set it up but still). He does the same thing with that school principal, take the L and THEN take them down. Brilliant writing imo.
It's part of many of the most effective cons. Give the sucker the feeling that they're taking advantage of you. It puts them at ease, lures them in. In some scams, the con artist gets the mark to do or attempt something illegal. So if the sucker goes to the police, they could be embarrassed or prosecuted themselves. If the scheme is clever enough, a genius grifter can even play the victim, having reversed things and come out ahead when a bad person tried to take advantage of them.
Jane knew red bead guy was hot tempered from the beginning if the episode. he framed the guy to get him angry and assault Jane, Jane gets custody of that girl.
@@NomTom are you trolling or have you actually not watched the show? or maybe you're doing this to prevent people seeing spoilers but its is pointless as the show has been out for seven years now
Yes! Whichever agency won, Red John had people close to Lorelei. Also, it turned out there _was_ a mark that indicated Red John followers: the three dot tattoo on the left shoulder. Shulz secretly worked for Bob Kirkland. Bertram and Smith worked for RJ. Arguably, Lisbon worked for Jane. The only guy who (as far as we know) didn't have some kind of hidden agenda or affiliation was Mancini! And I guess the judge.
@@dumaskhanO.M.G! I was just fantasising about expressing what you commented in a more elaborate fashion to this person, and decided to not do so before seeing that you’d commented your comment fifteen hours ago.
You are a victim of society. You’re making a misinterpretation of what that slang means. It’s a common misinterpretation of what that slang means because people that use the internet tend to fixate on catchphrases, and conflate their meanings. Gaslighting is a very specific form of someone causing a person or persons to doubt what they know is true. Gaslighting refers to when someone is intentionally convincing someone to doubt their cognitive ability. Someone merely expressing misinformation would not be gaslighting. Someone would not be gaslighting a person if they merely make someone doubt that a small information that they remember is true. Someone intentionally and actively trying to make someone doubt their memory by making them believe that a name was Berenstain when it was Berenstein in fact would be gaslighting. A good and extreme example of gaslighting would be somebody putting someone into a room with a clock that shows that an hour has passed every 45 minutes to make the person doubt their interpretation of the passage of time and a glass of water that has a benign flavour to induce the person’s paranoia. Another good and extreme example of gaslighting would be if some people conspired to make a mother believe that her missing child has been returned to her by giving her a different child, and trying to convince her that it is the missing child, and committing her to a psychiatric hospital as an inpatient for being mentally ill because she refuses to believe that the child is her missing child. The latter example has unfortunately happened in real life.
To understand how he planted it, you have to watch the full episode. In the beginning of the episode he randomly pick a bead from a woman. He often do things like this, and he once said he always anticipate over 50 outcomes but never tell anyone because it will drive them mad. He planted it the same way he planted a photo in the episode to get rid of FBI.
"So is that man on the far right (FBI side) supposed to be a Red John suspect?" Yes he is and he was suspected by Jane to be the mole in season 4 too. Jane always had a bad feeling about Bertram and drum roll... he was right! Bertram was a RJ accomplice.
It’s when you think you have Jane all figured out that your in the most danger. they bet on Jane being annoying they didn’t expect their reaction to be worse then his annoyance
I choose a tv series that I have seen and I watch it with my kids. At the moment I am watching the Mentalist with my 14 year old and she loves it. Just finished Fringe with my 16 year old.
He's a man who chooses, who can have any say over him or may guide him and that person is Lisbon in his case. He's too proud to be answerable to/get dictated by anyone. So he's braver than almost everyone. Anyway he's more intelligent. Ram Ram everyone.
It's funny... 2 people were actual accomplices, one on each side of the table and Jane framed the guy with the temper to get a reaction. Shows how much he actually didn't know at this point.
