Bee - couldn't agree more - I had tears streaming down my face. Simon was captivating.
Another line I liked was the woman on the plane to Lisbon "every woman on this plane is green with envy" .........

A beautifully crafted episode and a stunning performance from Simon. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, didn't even want to blink - a perfect end to the season |

I loved this episode. Many beautiful moments. And I really loved how Lisbon wrote Pike off with one sentence. "He'll understand," which was, of course, how Pike described Jane. There was so much subtext in what she said... She had finally woken up to Pike's pushiness, and wasn't too concerned about his feelings. It greatly eased my angst from previous episodes. |

I really enjoyed this, right from the start, it was well wirtten and beautifully executed.
Jane is as blind as a bat about Lisbon, he really didn't think she would leave him and I am glad that they addressed that in the conversation between the two, that he felt slighted that she didn't tell him herself.
I have to say I smelled fish with the letter...for me it had echos of the letter in the pilot...not really somethinhg a killer would write, and I wondered about Jane writing it.
Jane didn't really lie to Abbott.....Abbott didn't say the words....'did you write the letter' he lied by ommission....he knew what Abbott was asking about.
Jane's face when Abbott and Cho turned up was just perfect, in fact Simon's acting through out was masterful...the expressions on his face were superb.
Abbot made me laugh when he didn't believe that Cho didn't know why Lisbon was so cross, and I cracked out laughing when he called the waiter for the wine list after all....they have finally driven him to drink.
When Lisbon had gone to the airport and he was drinking in his room and the lawyer and the young man had come in with their guns, and he says something like ' I should have made the clue harder' and then when the two women arrived....the look of disgust on his face was so funny.
When Lisbon was in the check in line, she kept on looking behind her for Jane....she knows him well enough to know that he is one for the grand gesture.
I laughed out loud while crying into my tea, when the airport security man was banging on the window telling them to stop kissing....it was what you do when teenagers are doing it in the street outside your window...I kept expecting a bucket of water to be thrown over them!
And the end....I just loved it, so romantic and just so them.
An episode I shall watch when I need the warm fuzzy feeling after a bad day.
I am sure that a lot of people WON'T like it, but it pressed all the right buttons for me. |

I remember Robin Tunney saying once that it would be really hard to kiss Simon because they were such good friends and she was glad that it wasn't in Heller's plans to have them become an item. I suppose the shippers made enough of a stink to change his mind and to give them an ending they would be pleased with. I for one fear that the next 13 epis might be uncomfortable. I remember that "Moonlighting" lost it appeal once they got together. We'll see! |

Mossibecca, you are quite a detective to suspect Jane in writting the letter from the beginning. I didn't even realized it echo the pilot until u mentioned it. Bravo!
I suspected something is off from beginning but at the time I suspected Jane has cracked the code but wanted to drag the case longer so that he can spend more time with Lisbon. The scene at the beach, it was very obvious he purposely led libon to crack the code. I thought it was to keep her in good mood and would want to stay on the case and see it through. Never cross my mind that he was the one who wrote it.
I love this episode so much that I can't stop talking about it. Yup, definitely an episode I will rewatch again and again especially when I need a pick me up. |

Sylvia, Heller always intended to get them together at the end of the series. He wanted to hold it off as long as possible because of the Moonlighting curse as it is called. I am not a shipper, but even this dark ol' heart was happy at the end  |

wow...
He told her!
She said she feels the same!!
He KISSED her!!!
Wow!
Well, actually I´ve never been a shipper and I´m not sure if I like the thought of Jane and Lisbon being a couple (and work together ?) BUT:
This was written AND directed AND acted brilliantly!!! Not to forget the work of the atmosphere-creating MONSTER Blake Neely - he did an amazing job, he almost made me cry.
I don´t know what season 7 might bring after "this", but they already managed to surprise us after RJ was brought down, so I keep faith they will find a proper way.
Thank you, Simon, for being you! |

I've been strong and managed to avoid ANY spolier of this episode. 
I'm so glad I did it! I loved it from beginning to end. Humour and angst were perfectly balanced. But Mossibeca and Bee already summed up pretty well what I think about this finale.
It won unanimous support at home. And even hubby and son both paid compliments to our heros acting talent, particularly Simon's … So it's not just me! |

Quote Evy (  ) And "The Mentalist" becomes "Castle"................
Meh… Comparing the "declaration" scene on Castle vs on TM?
Frankly, for me, it's a done deal.  |

And the dream come true. Bravo Mr Heller : Jane staging a con to delay Lisbon leaving for DC was a brilliant idea. Simon, Robin, Rockmond, Tim, what a play !
I was delighted, I was laughing, I was happy. Wonderful episode. |

What a fabulous episode. Simon just has it all. Such an extraordinary performance. This is an episode to watch again and again. Just love it. I am very happy it's not the final episode. I've never seen Castle, only Bones, and that has lost a lot since the leads became a couple.But Bones also never had the quality of TM before... This is Bruno Heller's show and he has never disappointed me. I' m sure TM will stay as good as it is. So much potential still, so many stories to tell. Such great actors and characters. I definately want to see more of Abbott!
Completely happy with this episode. I haven't been a shipper during the first seasons, but some time on the way I realized she's the only woman for him. |
