How cute was the ending of that Merlin episode ('Beauty and the Beast, Part Two')? So cute. Let us all watch it again and bask in the cuteness. (People who do not watch Merlin are also invited to watch that clip, because it is only a minute long and really, really cute. IF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE SAID 'CUTE' IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONVINCE YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL BE.)
I have now finished the first season of The Mentalist! It has been a delightful journey from loving Patrick Jane for being an AU Derren Brown to loving him on his own merits, and from 'shipping Jane/Lisbon to 'shipping Jane/everyone in the entire world.
'Miss Red': oh, Jane is so adorably smitten with Con Artist Lady! I have no doubt that he broke her out afterwards. And he's great in 'Blood Brothers': 'I SHALL ESCAPE THIS CONVERSATION BY LEAPING ONTO THIS PASSING VEHICLE SEEYA.' And the rope stunt! Hee!
And then, of course, there is 'Red John's Footsteps', in which Jane stops being adorable and starts being scary. (Which I also love. Adorable Jane is, of course, adorable, but Scary Jane is fascinating.) I particularly enjoyed his sitting on the chair and listening to Bach, just as his nemesis had six months before. And the sacrifice he made at the end: wow.
You know what I want? I want fanfiction in which Red John goes after Jane's team, his surrogate family. And he leaves clues beforehand that this is what he intends to do, because Red John likes to play games. So it's all about Jane and his love for his team and his gradual realisation of exactly how much they mean to him as he tries desperately to protect them, terrified that history is going to repeat itself.
Actually, I want an episode like that. But fanfiction would also be amazing.
(The trouble with the concept is the fact that, from an objective point of view, I can see that it would probably work best if at least one member of the team were actually killed. From a subjective point of view, on the other hand, LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU NOT KILLING ANYONE.)
The combination of fandoms in this entry is making me ponder a Mentalist/Merlin crossover. I am inclined to doubt that Camelot is within the area covered by the California Bureau of Investigation, given that it is in both the wrong place and the wrong time period, but these are clearly minor details that may be handwaved for the sake of having Uther accuse Jane of being a witch and having Jane work out Merlin's secret.
Also, I want Arthur to be completely smitten with Van Pelt, rather to the displeasure of Gwen and Rigsby.
