The Mentalist is full of memorable moments with Jane and Lisbon. If I make a little effort I can remember a few, including yours. What reminds me these Bruno Heller's words: "The characters develop their own dynamic and direction as truth is revealed, and it seemed to us that love blossoms. There is a genuine feeling there between the two characters that had to be honored, one that was just natural and organic". Now that I already know the happy ending, I can't help to look back and see all those moments as a prelude, like pieces of a puzzle that finally fit together. My romantic side, I guess.

I am not a romantic, but a realist and these moments with Lisbon may have escaped me, but as a mother and grandmother, the moments where Jane is with children, the look in his eyes bespeak his own feeling as the Jane character and as Simon the father. There is a genuineness that nothing to do with acting although as Jane, Simon has shown such a range of emotions seldom seen on a TV program. Robin Tunney is a very good actress, but not on a par with Baker. Of course this is my opinion. |

His acting is so understated..I love that about him. He said somewhere that he doesn't like "acting acting" In other words, he doesn't have the chew up the scenery! |

I don't know if it was mentioned already, I also love the end of Season 4, when Jane lies there on the floor and Lisbon comes to check if he is okay and he takes her hand. And the scene before he "shoots" her, when he says "love you" and then hugs her. |

Yes, Tina. That's one of my favorite too and I think it's one of the more meaningful of the series. The way Jane takes Lisbon's hand, closes his eyes and inclines his head to her. Speechless. That's why I love The Mentalist. |

And in "Red Velvet Cupcakes", the moment when Lisbon and Jane are both in the car, listening to the radio while Rigsby and Van Pelt are in the studio undercover, pretending to be a couple having communication issues?
I absolutely love the innuendo, the parallel between what the young agents are saing with Jane & Lisbon history.
And the looks! at 0:59

Each time I read what is your best scene, I think "yes that's also mine". But In fact all the scenes you describe are some of my favorites and I realise that there are too many good moments to choose only one.  |

Posted by Evy in Season 7 spoilers but I thought I'd also post it here for people who don't like to look in the spoiler thread.
The Mentalist’ Ups Joe Adler To Regular
Recent Mentalist cast addition Joe Adler has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming seventh season of the veteran crime drama. Adler plays Jason Wylie, the lighthearted and brilliant FBI computer expert with a deep interest in Jane’s (Simon Baker) mind games. Adler’s promotion is not a surprise as has appeared on a recurring basis in every episode of the show since its reboot halfway through Season 5 when the Red John storyline was wrapped up and show’s setting was moved from California to Texas. When it renewed The Mentalist last month, CBS did not specify the size of the order but I’d heard that it is for a 13-episode seventh and likely final season, something the network also would not confirm. The Mentalist is not on CBS’ fall schedule and is slated to return in midseason if not sooner. Adler, repped by Paradigm and Authentic, did an arc on Shameless and will next be seen in The Maze Runner.

FYI, Heller's Gotham was screened in LA and NYC and it got really good reviews. It was also shown to international buyers who liked it a lot, but one article mentioned that the Warner Bos. Pilot Forever, about an immortal living in NYC as a medical examiner is being positioned to replace The Mentalist |

Thanks for the update, peithon. In my estimation, no show can replace The Mentalist. |
