Mentalist Thoughts
Dec. 15th, 2008 11:20 pmI like The Mentalist more and more each week. Even the other characters besides Jane are growing on me. They're not too active yet, but they work well together, and we've gotten a few nice glimpses of their character via Jane's interaction with them. And Jane is just this wonderful guy that is a wholly good person, using the money he won gambling to buy his coworkers gifts, donating thousands of dollars to "world peace" and giving a stranger enough money to buy her mother a new liver. At the same time, he's entirely explicit that he wants to see Red John die--not put away--but die. And then on top of it, he's charming and smart, and funny. What a great character. And while yes, he wants his revenge, he isn't this completely beyond fucked up that in RL I'd never want to date. It's kind of a nice change.
So I was thinking tonight. I want a crossover with The Mentalist and The X-Files. Where Mulder investigates Jane to see if his psychic powers are real. Jane leads him on for a while, but Mulder is not fooled, being a bit of a "mentalist" himself. Somehow the two become friends, though, both having tragedies in their past (and having crushes on their coworkers) and while Jane doesn't believe in aliens, or even real psychics, anytime he comes across a case that seems weird, he calls up Mulder. And when they're in the same town they meet up for beers.
I like that story idea. :-)
So, who wants to write it for me? LOL Does anyone on my flist even watch The Mentalist?
