Blood In, Blood Out (Feb. 11/10)

[luf100]

Haven't had a Mentlist episode thread in a while, figured I'd make one because I loved tonight's episode.

The episode was all about Cho, and it was amazing! (IMO of course.) First episode of any show in a long while that had my heart pounding.

First of all, I love how (for me at least) you think that Cho is this by-the-books cop, and then bam he's this former gang member and a secret badass. (I knew he was in juvie once but I never really took it too seriously.)

Jane can talk himself out of anything, seriously. XD

I knew the boss would have SOMETHING to do with it.

The last 15 minutes had me on the edge. I know The Mentalist's thing is tricking suspects but I seriously thought that Cho had shot and killed that guy and was going crazy. Especially when Jane was freaking out at him too telling him he didn't admit it cuz he wasn't guilty and he didn't need to kill him. Jane's reaction scared me. xD

"I apologize for accusing you of several crimes I knew you did not commit, and for assaulting you. Repeatedly." Good old Cho.

Gah I just loved the episode. Love this show. Anyone else bother to watch it? xD

I did, I did! (Sorry I'm so slow at getting to this thread...)

I loved it too, and they did a really good job of it -- usually when there's a Big Revelation about a character's past, it contradicts what we know about them. This one helped explain what we've already seen Cho do. And I laughed at how Rigsby got kind of skittish around him.

I'm still wondering whether Cho's loose cannonness was a strategy from the start or whether he was going to do it anyway so Jane figured it out and convinced Cho to let them use it without having Cho self-destruct.
