Please someone show me a link to the C.B.I. And I mean the "California Bureau of Investigation", not some governmental department in California that investigates crimes. The F.B.I. is n't short for "Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence for Federal Government" the only thing about this link http://ag.ca.gov/cbi/ that calls it the CBI is the link itself. The page calls it the BII (several times). Even the AG's page calls it the BII ( http://ag.ca.gov/law.php). Padillah ( talk) 11:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Padilla, I'll be honest- I'm surprised this is even an issue. Who cares that it use to be their name, and is not anymore. The mentalist is a work of fiction inspired by reality. As the network lawyers would be very quick to point out- "any similarity to any people, organization, blah blah blah is purely coincidental." Simple as that. Its entertainment- enjoy it without overthinking it. " 74.111.58.202 ( talk) 23:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Tominrochester 74.111.58.202 ( talk) 23:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Jane does not have a problem touching others. He spent an entire episode touching people's faces. He uses the discomfort he causes by touching (or getting inappropriately close) as a tool to put others off their guard. He always holding someone's hand in an effort to determine if they are lying... It's just not so. Padillah ( talk) 12:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but look at how he reacts when people touch him without asking. He either goes totally stiff or he reacts really badly, like making the guy who touched him always think his jacket smells of dead rat, or making it so a different guy who touched him has to go through a metal detector over and over. He never touches people unless he need to for his work. Also, the time he was touching people's faces was because he was blind for that episode. 203.158.60.201 ( talk) 01:50, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Could someone provide some backup to this? I was under the impression that he didn't sleep at all except on the couch in the office, much less under the very smiley face that marks the crime scene. Any help would be appreciated. Padillah ( talk) 21:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed that on the Jane page as well as Van Pelt page that it lists his species as human. I don't see any reason why this would be relevant to a show that doesn't anthropomorphic animals nor extraterrestrials. 71.182.181.56 ( talk) 06:24, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
There's a note in the wiki article that Jane kills Red John(or fake RJ) with the gun given to him by Max Winter. I recall that Winter gives him a nickel-plated Colt M1911, his preferred weapon of choice, which Jane grudgingly accepts, possibly thinking of using the gun to kill Red John with.
I am positive, however, that the weapon Jane actually kills with is not a Colt M1911, as that gun is not exactly concealable in one's jacket pocket. Instead, Jane is using a SIG-Sauer P232, the same gun used by the couple of murderers at the Californian restaurant. The gun looks similar to many subcompacts, in particular, the Walther PPK, but you can distinguish the two by the silver screw head used to hold the plastic grips onto the gun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.74.136.194 ( talk) 05:45, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm just curious as to whether or not these : Blondie, Charlatan, Carnac, Kresten, Jane, Jerk, A**hole, S.O.B., Fake Psychic, Drunk Uncle, Lover may be considered as nicknames. hmssolent\ You rang? ship's log 16:02, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
This article somehow manages to omit the one fact about Patrick Jane that is crucial for the whole show: that his wife and daughter were murdered by a serial killer called "Red John". All this is alluded to in all kinds of ways, but it is never stated anywhere in this Wikipedia article. -- Anvilaquarius ( talk) 15:40, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
