The Mentalist/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * I spent the season 2 finale of The Mentalist getting more and more irritated at Kristina; first, the scene where she gives a waiter a 'message' from the other side seemed to confirm that she's an out-an-out con artist rather than a subconscious cold reader who genuinely believed what she was telling people, and it looked crass that she'd set this up while on a date with Jane, who has good reason to dislike fake psychics. Then she goes on TV to talk about Red John - not only exploiting a tragedy to shill her own psychic services but, given that she knows what Red John did to Jane for the same thing, apparently putting her straight into Too Stupid to Live territory. I was annoyed at the idea that I was supposed to buy this person as one of the good guys... until she vanished, and Red John showed up with 'his' rather feminine voice and quoted a line from the earlier conversation that only Jane, Kristina and the random waiter would have known about. And suddenly it made perfect sense that Kristina had struck me as off; she's not one of the good guys at all, she's a possible candidate for the secret identity of the Big Bad (or at least one of his acolytes).
 * The epicest FB is "Blinking Red Light" in season Four. The episode is about serial killer, all right, and I'm confused how does this killer relate with the title? Then at the penultimate scene, when the serial killer is about to escape scot-free, Jane stares at the eponymous thing....which is blinking red light of TV camera. Somehow, suddenly, . The serial killer is then   So...how and why is this blinking red light brilliant? It's both Continuity Nod and Chekhov's Gun:.
 * On the other hand, it could be brilliance

 * In the Season 3 Finale, Strawberries and Cream, Red John's identity is revealed and Patrick Jane kills him.
