So

now Lisbon is dead

:s I'm still no closer to figuring out who it is but it is odd that

when the gang knows about the list Lisbon and Partridge are killed shortly after

 

 

I don't think she is, but we'll see.  It was still a big oshi! moment.

Yes, I'm glad that the Red John arc is over. I'll probably just finish this season just to see where they intend to take it but I'm probably out once Van Pelt and Rigsby leave.

 

I would've loved to know how RJ knew about the list, though. :/

 

It kinda hints that there's still someone on the inside.  He said he has thousands, so....  I think we're in for some more twists still.

Weak writing on this episode if you ask me.  And apparently the story is overwith, the producers have said almost straight out in an interview that they are moving on and no more red john issues will be brought up.  I'm glad to have red john over with, but addressing at least some of the 1000 red john questions brought up would have been nice.

Well, answering a few things in the process is still possible.  It's just that now no new RJ focused events will happen.   Honestly, if they answer the list part then that's all fans will probably want.   As for me personally I don't think there's anything else to answer.

The way I see it, they built the Red John arc and just keep adding and adding to the point that it's very hard for them to close it out. To be honest, I find the 3rd season ending better than this.

a lot of people feel that way. this was underwhelming and frankly against the spirit of the show. but I guess they have to move on

Well, it's not a season ending episode, still more episodes left to see.   But to be honest, with how long they had the arc going no matter who or how they did the reveal it would fee a bit underwhelming because after all these years everyone has their own idea of who it'd be and why and so on.  Nothing could match the expectations people created themselves.

Exactly, which is why I think they should've ended it with Bradley Whitford. It's already a pretty good setup and Whitford played it very well. I guess there's a need for Red John to be someone who Jane knew or they felt that they could still stretch it out. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. The advantage of ending it midseason is we get to see the "new" Mentalist on the 2nd half and just judge it from there if we want to continue. They will probably switch to criminal-of-the-season type of formula.

Good point.  Red John was a super genious killer, computer hacker, mentalist as good as jane, etc.  Who could really be that good?  No one we ever saw had that potential.  The reveal basically seemed like, "remember this guy?  he's actually not an idiot.  he's red john. also, he did all this stuff with a lot of insider help by the way. plot line over, time to move on."  I think they drug red john out too long maybe, too much build up to ever be satisfying, like you said.  They should have been over with the guy a season or two ago.

Well it finally happened :p Despite all the changes I still really like this show (Y)

 

Yeah, finally is putting it lightly, so many hints and foreshadowing throughout the last 2-3 seasons it was only a matter of time.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
