The Mentalist: Once Upon an Arrow...
Three season finales:
The Mentalist:
I'm super glad to see Jane finally admit his feelings for Lisbon. That was so dragged out I was starting to go crazy. I'm interested to see what will happen next season. What are they supposed to do now with most of the mysteries of the show solved?
My conspiracy theory is that Red John isn't really dead. He went down WAY too easy. It was like, "Hey, Jane. I'm going to kill you now." "Okay, try me." Cue random filler action stuff. "Now I'll kill you, Red John." Red John gets killed. Just doesn't seem viable to me, and the Sheriff didn't fit the profile nearly enough. He was weak, indecisive, and you would think that Red John would never make that kind of move. All of his genius moves and counter moves, and suddenly he reveals his identity and tries to kill Jane? I didn't buy it one bit.
The Arrow:
They had me going with the Oliver-Felicity romance. I totally ship it. Honestly, from the start, they've played it like Oliver and Laurel are meant for each other, but I feel like it's too obvious. And now with the Flash having his own show (meaning Barry is no longer in the picture for Felicity), who will Felicity ever fall in love with? For the whole series, Oliver has found love wherever he goes. Diggle has no trouble either. But Felicity has always been out of the "love loop." Felicity obviously loves Oliver, even Barry realized it. To be honest, I think Oliver loves her, too. But maybe I'm wrong?
Also, I'm happy to see Sarah go. She was kind of a weak character in my eyes (not in a physical sense--she's pretty dang strong, actually ). I just felt like she was overly sexualized. It's a TV series, it's bound to happen, but out of all the characters, she really got the blunt edge of it. I wish they would create a strong female hero without a sex appeal for once. If they took that away from Sarah, she would still be a great character, and maybe I would have actually liked her more. I admire the show for having strong female characters (that also have their fair share of failures as well--Laurel especially), but they messed up on Sarah.
Sad to see Thea lose trust in Roy and run to her biological father. My dad actually had a theory that Malcolm Merlyn will train Thea to fight (creating the possibility of a new villain, also boosting tension). I tend to agree with that theory. She has so much sadness and hate built up inside that she might fall off the deep end.
I'm interested to see if they will ever bring back Slade as a character. It would be interesting to see them do more with him. He's a really, really spot on character.
Once Upon the Time:
Oh, no. Maid Marian is back. Oh, Emma. Always causing problems.
I really enjoyed Emma's acting in the season finale. The actress who plays Emma, I feel, didn't do a great job at playing an emotionally reserved character. But she did a bang up job in the finale when she finally let her emotions out.
Glad to see Hook and Emma finally [together?]. I ship this, too.
Also, Snow is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. If it weren't for my family, the good actors (i.e. Regina, Hook, Neil, Mr. Gold...) and the semi-decent plot lines, I would skip out on this show just because of Snow.
Frozen is coming...
