what happens

With serial killer Red John laid to rest, Patrick Jane is finally free to close the door on his past and plan for the future. A fresh start with the FBI has him solving top-security cases alongside former CBI agents Teresa Lisbon and Kimball Cho, new colleagues Jason Wylie and Michelle Vega, and boss Agent Dennis Abbott. And Jane's blossoming connection with Lisbon brings a deeper bond to the partners' already intimate and intense professional relationship. But when femme fatale Erica Flynn resurfaces from Jane's past and another sadistic serial killer appears on the scene, affairs of the heart take a backseat to survival.

Left to right is the season — its first episode to its last. Each remark sits in the episode it was made about.

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Read from 39 comments — 14 said when · across 3 episodes.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 14 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Hated the unshaven look from second half of last season to death”

“the two hour finale has to be about the past and or Red John or BA. No way they build up a new bad guy enough for a two hour finale.”

“this was a weak episode. Or would have been, if not for that fantastic scene with Lisbon. I don't care about Willies crush on Vega, I don't care about Vegas crush on Cho, I don't care about Abbots personal life. The murderer? Hardly seemed like it mattered this episode. She had few lines, was very uninteresting, and no one really cared anyway. And the security guard? Even less so. When you put so much time into presenting subplots, you lose the ability to make the perps into real people. Instead you get rushed killers, motives and victims like this episode. When these subplots are bad, like anything involving Vega, you end up with a bad episode.”

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
