Anybody watch this? I was a big fan initially, but it's starting to go blah, I think. Simon Baker rocks, though.

I do... and I concur... tho the re-appearance of Red John may be more interesting. Did some writers go on vacation? I did enjoy the play between the characters.
I'm not sure why he (Simon's Jane) got the lady cop a pony for her birthday... again, I may have fallen asleep during the play that made that connect. Still-- the process has been most enjoyable when Jane had to piece a thing together and we get to watch... the diamonds in the daughter's chandelier was my fav. -------------------- You can't stop the signal, Mal

It's an okay series, the Red John character is a bit overblown though.
-------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very like your ancestors, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light? Dr Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in? Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty. |

Not so much how many times they have used the character, as the genius serial killer that runs rings around the police. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

I'll explain it simply then In the episodes that have featured Red Jack we have found out he is a surveilence expert and computer hacker and mobile phone genius and he also never manages to leave any trace at any crime scene. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

Actually, we've discovered that Red John employs various people to do a lot of things for him, so we've found out no such thing. Perhaps it is him, perhaps not. And, sorry, but leaving a partner at a crime scene is a pretty big trace, don't you think? -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

I enjoy the character interaction. My Pirate™ can't watch it due to Robin's eyes.
