Really Grow on Abbott

[shelbythuylinh · 8/10 · 29 November 2021]

As he was not meant to be liked when we first saw him. But he has grown and really he lets now Jane, Lisbon, and Cho do their thing.

And it comes in handy. As he may lose his job and freedom due to corrupt DEA agent Bill Peterson whom has never liked Abbott there.

Worse the corrupt agent would even deny Abbott's own wife a position in DC. As really glad the team came together to save Abbott's job and freedom possibly.

Glad that Abbott and Jane really grew as friends after not liking one another. Both made assumptions about each other. Did not like the by the book arrogant FBI boss. But he has since mellowed out. Not just as an agent but as a man.

The Sting

[claudio_carvalho · 9/10 · 3 February 2022]

Bill Peterson travels to Mexico to exhume Abbott's victim to seek out the bullet as evidence of his crime and use it to damage Abbott and Lena's careers. Patrick Jane plots a plan with the team to look for evidence that Peterson is corrupt and stashing dirty money from drug busts in his safe. Peterson meets Missy Brammer, the assistant of a congressman, to give her evidence to be used in Lena's hearing.

"Copper Bullet" is one of the best episodes of "The Mentalist". The plot recalls "The Sting", with a perfect plan created by Patrick Jane to lure Bill Peterson. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Copper Bullet"

You call that a search?

Haven't all those years dealing with criminals taught Lisbon and Cho nothing?

Everyone knows that you search a bureau from the bottom drawer uo!

I'm both happy and Sad

[Dariush72 · 10/10 · 2 February 2015]

I don't know how a writer or actor can make the viewer care about a fictional character, to make the viewer feel happy or sad when the character is happy or sad, The Mentalist however can be a good reference for any writer, showrunner and actor in making the viewers care deeply about characters specially after the two great episodes that we have been given these past two week

the seventh season in general as pointed out by creator "Bruno Heller" is an encore, meant to be a final hurrah for a great show and unlike other shows, "so far" it doesn't have overly dramatic events or scenes, the writer is not changing the direction of the character, it feels incredibly natural

an example is The Love between Lisbon and Jane doesn't require over the top sex scenes a simple observation of how they act together is enough

the ending minutes of this episode was by far one of the greatest scenes of this show with only showing the characters and how happy they are together......I am happy for their happiness but sad that in a few weeks, this show is gonna end.....

Never Thought I Would Not Like Abbott but boy Glad I was wrong

[ShelbyTMItchell · 10/10 · 2 December 2019]

Hate what Abbott did and deep down when he shut down the C.B.I. to have the show transferred to the FBI, he may have felt remorse and really felt he was so closed minded and may have had some bosses that were not fair at times.

As he is one and boy glad I was wrong as he nearly ended up on the other side here. As a corrupt DEA agent the great character actor Dylan Baker, tries to expose what he did and also ruin his wife Lena's new job in front of the Senate

Abbott could lose his job and most of all his wife's career. Plus he could end up in a federal lock up and possibly would had gone on death row. People in prison look at former cops/federal agents as their meal ticket and bottom of the food chain

But Jane being grateful for rescuing him and Cho getting an FBI job as Dennis Abbott really liked Kimball Cho it seems to begin with and Lisbon along with the other agents devise a plan to keep their boss out of jail for killing drug cartel leader execution style.

In order to make Dennis look like a scapegoat. But in the end, the heroes stick by their boss and for that despite wanting to keep them out. He learns the value of team work and how that Jane and Lisbon in a sense, could had turned on him despite what he did over the C.B.I. and Red John thing

But in the long run, it was his former boss who would had been the head of the DEA, skeletons out of the closet and you had to be grinning with Dennis over arresting his former boss who tried to pin everything on him.

Glad they stood by him and got to know their boss better. Know all fans were wrong about him like me. But he warmed up and realized to be a great boss and a team player and leader, he had to be a human being. And for that, very grateful he did a 180!
