The Mentalist "Byzantium" Review
The Mentalist in a nutshell: It's all an ILLUSION (read: VISUAL LIES) in Byzantium that the opposite of blind is the ability to see the Blue Clues.
Patrick Jane meets his opposite in "OZ-burn", the boy psychic, who tells Jane that he will find his cure in the number 3. "OZ-burn" may have detected Jane's desire for a threesome with Erica Flynn and Lisbuns, but TM is a family show and I don't think Jordan Harper wanted to go that "blue" in the last episodes. While Jane was contemplating the big abyss, perhaps he had a revelation to come back from the spiritual dead. That would be a nice touch to come face-to-face with "Lazarus", a Zodiac-type serial killer with a fingernail fetish who added "OZ-burn" to his burn list. Wiley's sense memory of booze in the ol' fishing shack helped locate the body of "OZ-burn" in an abandoned brewery, but it didn't pass the smell test. "Byzantium" may just be another fishy story, a "CON-stantinople"

It's All an ILLUSION
Scrambled eggs: TM is Bruno Heller's attempt to push the envelope of the "suspension of disbelief" to force the viewer with half a REVIEW BRAIN to realize "The Mentalist" is an ILLUSION. Golden Man Patrick Jane appears to be a Sherlock Holmes super-sleuth character, but in reality is a mental patient with a cracked eggshell who suffers from paranoid delusions due to feelings of extreme guilt in the deaths of his wife and child who were burned as he was (CBI = intensive burn care?) in a horrific car accident involving a driver named Tanner when he failed to stop at a BLINKING RED LIGHT CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, hence the RJ symbol, while he was driving intoxicated and spends his days in an airstream of consciousness with the remote watching TV shows, which generate his ideas for the delusional episodes. Note: Jane's eggshell blue car - a vintage 1972 Citroen DS 20 that Warner Bros., producer of "The Mentalist" for CBS, had in its inventory. It was used in the 2008 movie "Speed Racer." For "The Mentalist," the car was shipped from Germany and painted eggshell blue (it was originally red).

Perhaps Bruno referred to a song that Sting made famous. The lyrics will burn in your imagination and perhaps provide a clue about Patrick Jane's:
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her seven veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems.
Really
Jane: I smell something fishy, Lisbuns.

The Mentalist "Nothing Gold Can Stay" Review
The Mentalist in a nutshell: It's all an ILLUSION (read: VISUAL LIES) that nothing gold can stay. Given Robert Frost's tragic life, one can certainly understand why he felt that way.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay. - Robert Frost
Per WIKI: Robert Frost's personal life was plagued with grief and loss. In 1885 when Frost was 11, his father died of TB, leaving the family with just eight dollars. Frost's mother died of cancer in 1900. In 1920, Frost had to commit his younger sister Jeanie to a mental hospital, where she died nine years later. Mental illness apparently ran in Frost's family, as both he and his mother suffered from depression and his daughter Irma was committed to a mental hospital in 1947. Frost's wife, Elinor, also experienced bouts of depression. Elinor and Robert Frost had six children: son Elliot (1896–1904, died of cholera) daughter Lesley Frost Ballantine (1899–1983); son Carol (1902–1940, committed suicide); daughter Irma (1903–1967); daughter Marjorie (1905–1934, died after childbirth); and daughter Elinor Bettina (died just three days after her birth in 1907). Only Lesley and Irma outlived their father. Frost's wife, who had heart problems throughout her life, developed cancer in 1937, and died of heart failure in 1938.
The title of the TM episode is a poetic gesture for the sudden death of FBI agent Michele Vega, cut down in her youth just as her career and relationship with Wiley began to flower. Eden sank to grief and so did Patrick Jane, who wants to find his happy place with Lisbuns or by himself. Jane knows firsthand it's the innocent who pay for the mistakes of those in charge. The question is whether Frosty Cho, whose personal life is tragic, will stay or go. "Gilt" is gold and it never leaves.
