He has a particular gift for astute observation and reading people, honed through years of being a faux psychic. His gift makes him brilliant at solving murders, which is why the CBI have him around. However, his motive for taking on the role is purely one of revenge: find and kill the man who killed his wife and daughter - Red John. It is there that he performs a ritual using the hands of one of the witnesses to lead him to the murder weapon, which turns out to be the base of a crystal wineglass.

I thought for sure the production crew had dressed the area for the filming, but that does not actually appear to have been the case. On a Mentalist side note — A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog , called me up for some help after she discovered that she had locked her keys inside of her car while doing some shopping at the Burbank Town Center Mall.

I headed over there and after calling Roadside Assistance and having them jimmy open the lock, we discovered that her keys were not, in fact, inside of the car after all.

So I ventured inside the mall to see if anyone had turned them in to the security office. SO incredibly cool! That security office is pictured above. I had to take the photograph a bit on the down-low as I was afraid that one of the security guards might get upset if he saw me snapping any pictures of the place.

While Burbank Town Center is not actually my local mall, I immediately recognized the place as the Grim Cheaper had taken me there on our very first date, just a little over a decade ago. We had first gone to see the movie Cast Away at a nearby theatre and then headed on over to the mall so that the GC could show me an antique carousel that used to be located there.

I am pretty sure I fell in love with him right then! So yesterday, after getting my hair cut in Burbank, I decided to cruise on over there to snap a few pics of the place. Oh, how I wish they did actually serve espresso in that area of the mall!

The parking garage entrance which appeared in the episode is located at North Third Street. This past Tuesday morning I was interviewed about my website for an article on filming locations that will be published sometime in early April in a few local, San Gabriel Valley-area newspapers. So, I immediately headed right on over there to do a bit of Simon Baker stalking.

As I have mentioned a few times before on this blog, I do not particularly enjoy stalking alone, so I begged my mom, who lives just up the street from where filming was taking place, to come to the set with me and, thankfully, she agreed.

As you can see, set decorators simply covered over the kitchen displays with fake walls. My mom asked one of the crew members why producers had not simply found a real jewelry store to film at, since there are more than a few of them in the area, but he told us that they needed a jewelry store situated next to an alley. Ah, the magic of Hollywood! The camera was set up directly across the street from the store. Traffic on Myrtle was shut down only intermittently during the filming and, with the crime scene tape strung across the alley, the flashing lights on the many police cars parked at the scene, and the camera not being readily visible, it must have looked to those driving by as if an actual crime had just taken place.

Simon Baker and Robin Tunney walked out just a few short minutes after we arrived on the set and Simon immediately smiled and waved at the fans standing across the street there were only about five of us and then the two of them walked over to the car they were set to be driving in the scene. I was really hoping that Simon would walk over to take pictures with the fans, since there were so few of us, but he never did. The driving scene was completed in only one take and then Robin and Simon headed into the alleyway to do some more filming.

Unfortunately, we could not get very close to the alley so we left shortly after that. Talk about being a film-friendly city! Love it! The alleyway where filming took place is located just south of the Expo. He also informed us that the ballroom was used in episodes of both Hung and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well.

As fate would have it, the ballroom just happened to be unlocked while we were stalking the hotel, so I was able to walk in and snap a few pictures of it. I feel your pain! Besides being a filming location, the hotel is also something of a celebrity hotspot. Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray were married at the hotel in and Miss Britney Spears and then-husband Kevin Federline even lived there for a time while their Malibu mansion was being renovated.

She was doing press for The Break-Up at the time and the GC and I had randomly stopped by the hotel to grab a cocktail.

The GC took the above photograph of Jen that day on his blackberry, which is why it turned out so poorly. Sure enough, he did! As fate would have it, the merry go round is located right in the heart of L. The Merry Go Round was first built in by the Spillman Engineering Company and is currently the only full size Spillman carousel still in operation today.

Sadly, the amusement center was shuttered in in the midst of the Great Depression and the Merry Go Round was subsequently moved to Balboa Park to be featured in the California Pacific International Exposition.

When the exposition ended in , a man named Ross Davis purchased the carousel and transported it over miles north to its new home in Griffith Park, where it is still in operation to this day, over seven decades later.

The carousel also features a custom-built Stinson Military Band Organ, which plays a library of over different songs. And, incredibly enough, the Griffith Park Merry Go Round even served as the inspiration for one of the most famous landmarks in the entire world — Disneyland! Yes, you read that right. The bench where Walt used to sit during those outings which is pictured very poorly above is still on display at the merry go round to this day. It was a commercial for Pepsi Cola and, in it, the newbie actor was shown handing out bottles of the soft drink to teenagers who were riding the merry go round.

Such incredible history! I, of course, had to take a ride on the carousel while I was there and it was so incredibly fun! In an odd coincidence, I just found out today that my childhood merry go round was also designed by the Spillman Engineering Company, but it is sadly no longer in operation publicly as it was purchased by a Vegas millionaire who had it installed in a room in his home!
