All those dogs and rats sounds like my idea of domestic TV-watching
heaven. :)
It's quite something to see Simon, who is perfect as Jane, a man with
no discernible physical skills (other than using his hands most
gracefully) turns without blinking an eye into a character who was a
highly skilled assassin with a murderous violent streak that comes
roaring out from its hiding place.
My favorite Patrick Jane bit of derring do is...
No, not the time he elbowed a hypnotized Rigsby in the ribs (it was
Rigsby, wasn't it?) to try to escape during "Russet Potatoes"
Not the time he tried to drive the SUV out of the parking lot while
blinded in "Blood Shot"...
Not the time he shot sheriff Hardy at the end of "Red John's
Footsteps..."
It's the time he used his foot to push a block of concrete against a
fence gate so the bad guy trying to escape through the backyard got
boinged by the fence when it wouldn't open as he tried to rush
through. :)
I think that's in "The Thin Red Line" but I'm not 100 percent sure.
