I’ve started this post three different times. I kept changing what I wanted to write about as the latest episode of The Mentalist (“Bloodshot”) went on. First I was going to talk about how predictable it was that Jane was going to become blind at some point. It’s usually one of the things a TV […]
Sure, I could talk about how obvious the identity of the killer was on last night’s episode of The Mentalist. But I’d rather talk about lesbians.
