TV GUIDE: Weekend TV Review: Mockingbird Lane and Other Treats (Not All Halloween)
Oct 26, 2012

... HOW IT ALL BEGAN: "Just pretend I'm not here," Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) says repeatedly as he intrudes on the CBI's turf for the very first time "several years ago" in an enjoyable origin episode marking the milestone 100th hour of CBS' The Mentalist (Sunday, 10/9c). Naturally, the agents can't ignore him. One can't even resist taking a swing at this aggravatingly intuitive interloper. But this disheveled version of Patrick Jane, only a year removed from Red John's murder of his family, is a far less cocky operator than who we've come to know, though he quickly impresses Lisbon (Robin Tunney) with his uncanny ability to read people and expose the guilty party. The rest, as they say, is TV history...
