Great start with Jane being completely tired and uninterested in the case and then he points at the dead person with a stick. Hehe!

An example of Jane’s inappropriate behavior:

[Saying good bye to the forensic person]
Jane: It was lovely to meet you doc, you’re a horses ass but you mean well. I’ll be in the van!

There’s a new “theme-thingy” in the beginning! I like it!

An example of Jane’s brilliant observation skills:

[Lisbon interviewing the politician couple about their happy marriage.]
Politician’s husband: We’ll be married three years this October and today’s news excepted we’ve never been happier.
[Jane walks in]Jane:That’s hard to believe.
Politician: What does that mean?
Jane: Well there’s nothing going on between you right now.
Politician’s husband: Excuse me, what?
Jane: I’m sorry, I meant sexually. No heat. Right?

I like the idea of Lisbon going to counseling because she is just the kind of person that have problems opening up. Perhaps also this will give us some information about her past, of why she is so uptight and serious all the time. She definitely needs it.

I like the new character Bosco, he is surely a match for Jane; they are just as stubborn. The tension they create is very exciting.

Well, Cho and Rigsby are getting more perceptive, they noticed the woman having two types of cigarettes in her ash tray, they are picking up a few things from Jane it seems.

Best piece of dialogue in this episode:

Harlan: There’s no law against being in a closet.
Lisbon: No Harlan, but it is kind of suspicious.

It was such a cute moment when Van Pelt and Rigsby were talking and then when Lisbon orders Van Pelt to go in an flirt/ stall the suspect and Rigsby gives off this worried look. It is so adorable!

I like the act Van Pelt does while flirting with the guy, the nervous breathing and the smiles. Well played!

Nice, Cho opening the lock. I didn’t know how you broke into a car in that way, now they just have to show how you jump start a car and I might have an illegal career going. Sweet!

I recognize the suspect, who is he? He is good! Good actor! Isn’t he the guy on Criminal Minds that married the press person? The blond one? His character were from New Orleans?

Why can’t Jane just inform the others of what he’s up to? All the time he does this, wouldn’t it be simpler if the others were in on it? Although I wouldn’t want him to stop, because it is half the fun of watching this show; figuring out what he is up to.

It was really scary when the janitor person pulled out that knife and put it to Jane’s throat! Great action! Well done I thought! The janitor had a good fake accent going also. And speaking of that, I am still amazed by how good Simon Baker and Owain Yeoman is at doing an American accent. Especially Owain Yeoman. Just wow!

The fact that the dad seduced his daughter’s girlfriend is sick, what kind of man would do that?! Politicians…

They used a stiff as a prop? I am with Minelli! It’s twisted!

Minelli: You abused a corpse to get a confession.
Jane: Used. Used a corpse. There’s no ab.
Minelli: I’m appalled. I’m… I don’t know what to say.
Lisbon: Sir, it’s not like we killed him. His neck was broken in the crash.
Jane: We got a confession.

They are all turning into Jane, nice!

Jane bugged the room? That is wrong! Maybe he is getting a little bit too crazy?

I am happy to say that after this episode we finally got the drama, excellent!
