This is a thread to talk about relationships on other shows - or in movies or books or whatever - that remind us of the 'ships on The Mentalist.

Do Maddie and David (Moonlighting) seem like Rigsby and Van Pelt to you?

Do FitzSimmons (Agents of Shield) make you think of Wylie and Vega?

Are Jane and Lisbon more like Mulder and Scully (The X-Files) or Booth and Bones (Bones)?

Here's the place to talk about the other 'ships you love - as long as there is something about those ships that are like The Mentalist ships.

Omg you had to put this up me thank you lol you know what I noticed about Perry and della she always blindly followed every scheme he did just like lisbon did for jane

FoxPhile

You're right. Della and Lisbon had great confidence in Perry and Jane - even when their ideas seemed a bit crazy.

Can I ask a really dumb question Perry did flirt with dell a right cause one person on YouTube said he didn't flirt with her at all they said he acted gay in the show but while raymon d was gay Perry wasn't raymond even admitted in an old interview Perry did have feelings for dell a

I think most of the time Perry was focused on whatever case he was dealing with. But he definitely flirted with Della and she flirted back. At the time I was watching the show, I don't think I even knew what "gay" was. But I don't think he acted gay at all.

Oh ok I don't know why I let some people get in my head it's like one person said Jane was cheating on his dead wife

FoxPhile

So - I started watching S1 - and even in the early episodes there was definite flirting. It *could* have been just friendly - but I definitely think Perry has an eye for Della, and she has it right back for him.

Now - and don't hurt me - I can also see where some folks might have thought there was something between Della and Drake. Sort of similar to when Lisbon started dating Pike. I think Della may have sometimes thought that Perry was too married to his work to ever let a woman in, and she may have sometimes wondered if Drake might be a better option.

Im not going to hurt you i sorta see where your coming from in fact I'm reading a fanfic it's Derry but it has pau l and della too

The story yeah a real tearjeaker

FoxPhile

Sadly, there is only 5 seasons of PM on CBS. Of course, back then a season was 39 episodes And episodes were about 55 minutes without commercials.

That would be awesome for you!

Omg Perry in the movies is so romantic towards Dell a he called her his good luck charm and said he was only superstitious when it came to her

FoxPhile

I don't think I've every seen any of the movies. Since they came out in the 80s and 90s, they could definitely let the romance sizzle a bit more.
