"Hey ALP! AGREED on all points, I AM SO GLAD the show is back and as AMAZING as ever! A truly incredible premiere! I'll post points on the ep soon enough, but for now i'd like to point out what is possibly the most important thing about the premiere:

Jane knew from before the main titles even kicked in that Timothy Carter wasn't Red John. From the moment that the two detectives tell him that no gun was found on the scene and no calls were logged to O'Laughlin, you can see it on his face. From this point on, at no point in the episode does Jane state that 'Timothy Carter was Red John.' The episode is then basically Jane attempting to dig dirt on Carter (knowing he's likely involved in some dark things, clearly working for RJ) in the hope of building some sort of case for his trial to attempt to decieve the jury into thinking that 'maybe' Carter was Red John, therefore giving Jane the 'not guilty' verdict and avoiding his imprisonment, something Jane said would have been 'a victory for Red John.' "

"I was shocked that they resolved the murder trial in 1 episode. Frankly, I thought the episode was rushed and lacked depth. Plus they used a theme (husband and wife kidnapping team) that they already used in Season 1. If Red John was not the man that Jane killed, I don't think the promos should have said that he was. It isn't right to mislead the audience in that way.
It was nice to see Lisbon talk to VanPelt like a human being. She usually just orders her around and doesn't seem to want to have any non-work related contact with her. I also like the way VanPelt was so obviously affected by the betrayal of her fiance. I think she won't be quite so dreamy, naive and nice in the future as she has been in the past.
I hope they do make some effort to really develop the characters and their relationships this season. I think that is what makes a show important and memorable."

"From now on, when CBS refers to "Red John", I will assume they are talking about an organization and not a person.
Two of my favorite scenes in this episode were where Cho and Rigsby get the mall video from the security guard, and then break down the apartment door after "hearing" a struggle inside the apartment. Cho is a loose cannon! "

"Hi,
I watched the security camera record closely, and first of all there is one mistake - in first shot there is no newspaper at all, then - before the waitress comes, newspaper lies folded in two. It lies the same after she, and the security guy gets up. Then after the forensic technician gets up, it lies unfolded and in other position.
Is it something more, or just series of errors?"
