Who is Red John?

Theories of RedReveal (22)

This show has become an absolute piece of shit.

That is all.

All I could think during those last 5 minutes was "Please be Red John, Please be Red John!" For me, the episodes have gone to pure shit without RJ and, to be honest, I miss the motherfucker!

RJ, is that you? Can I see a smiley? :)

It's funny how, before the Red John reveal, I would be watching The Mentalist and whenever someone interrupted, I would RAGE. I would be irritated at the littlest things (my brother tapping his pencil on the desk, slurping a drink until it's completely finished, etc.).  I used to concentrate on this show like no other.

Now, I'm being distracted by flies, things outside of the window, and, one time, I literally stared at a gum wrapper for 20 minutes, not realizing that I had completely spaced out while watching the show. It's ridiculous. I actually haven't seen Sunday's episode yet because I had forgotten about the show. How can The Mentalist transition from being so well-written, captivating, and amusing to almost repelling? I don't understand the thought process behind the RJ reveal (maybe there was none, or maybe there is something grand that awaits us). Regardless, the show is going down the shitter, at least for me. Obviously everyone has their own opinion of it, but if a majority of viewers are suddenly becoming disinterested in the show, that's a blatant sign that the writers fucked up, badly.

Oh well, I still enjoy people writing theories (regardless of if they'll come true in the future or not); at least you all have hope for the show. I lost it a while ago, and I'm wondering if it'll ever return for me.

Until then, Sherlock it is! Great show if you haven't seen it; watch it NOW! I wish I could say the same about The Mentalist, but then I would be lying, at least for everything including and past the horrendous RJ reveal.

I miss Red John.

I don't understand why there are viewers who are happy to see the RJ saga end before the show ends. The Mentalist began with RJ and it needs to end with RJ. Killing him off this early in the season makes me think that there's something going on behind the scenes in which RJ is still healthy and killing. I hope that is the case because I always preferred the RJ episodes to the regular, mundane, procedural shows. There are tons of shows where cops catch bad guys; that's nothing new. RJ is what made the show unique, and without him (if he truly died), I can't possibly wait to see how this show will fare.

I'm not going to try to prove whether RJ is alive or dead, but all I know is that I miss that serial killing motherfucker.

:'( WHERE ARE YOU, RED JOHN?!?!?! BABY COME BACK! ;)

Someone previously suggested watching Sherlock if you are frustrated with how the Red John saga ended with no plausibility. I'm writing this post to tell you to FUCKING WATCH SHERLOCK now.

I received more answers and explanations within the first 20 minutes of Sherlock than I did in 6 seasons of The Mentalist. 

I'm not saying abandon The Mentalist, but if you're the type of person that needs rationality to shows, SHERLOCK IS FOR YOU. 

Amazing, thank you fellow user of this site for the suggestion.

FUCK YOU BRUNO HELLER. That is all.











P.S. Fuck you Bruno Heller, you fucking dickwaffle

P.P.S. Go choke on a big black sausage Bruno Heller

P.P.P.S. Eat my ass Bruno Heller

P.P.P.P.S. I can't wait to see the drastic drop in viewers for next week. 

Once again, FUCK YOU BRUNO HELLER. I don't believe in redundancy when it comes to an issue like this. Such an asshole.

1. Cho = Badass

2. Even though we're all guilty of it, let's all try to not assassinate Heller before the official episode (whether it's the same as the leaked or a completely different version) is ACTUALLY on air. I know I had my fair share of Heller-bashing along with you guys, but I'm going to refrain from that until I actually see the episode. Then we can move on to either step 3 or 4, whichever is more appropriate.

3. In the case that Heller is a genius and played us for fools with a deliberately leaked episode, I think it's in our best interest to worship the man and be ready with our apologies.

4. In the case that Heller is a complete jackass and decided to change nothing from the leaked version, it's most probable that we arrange a "whoisredjohn" cult to seek our revenge for this bullshit. We will arm all loyal fans with torches and pitchforks to storm Heller's house and burn it to the ground. We will kidnap Heller and bring him back to our secret hideout, where we will coat his naked body in pigeon food. "RELEASE THE PIGEONS" is heard from the microphone and Heller begins to panic. A flock of 50 pigeons rush through the opened door and leave Heller in excruciating pain. Our method of torture, called "Pigeonboarding," seems to be the most effective method in existence. Heller is in tears, begging for mercy, but the loyal fans will have NONE OF HIS SHIT! Among us lies a competent tattoo artist, who will mark Heller with the classic Red John smiley face, only this time, it will be white—in honor of pigeon shit. Now we force Heller to recreate Season 6 Episode 8 to our hearts content. Once the episode is complete, Heller will appear in front of the press, only this time, he will have a shitty tattoo on his forehead (literally). He is taken as a joke and his nobility withers away. As he is leaving the stage, our cult will have organized pigeon-food confetti to launch from every possible direction. The pigeons swoop in and devour Heller in front of millions of viewers. And they (the fans) lived happily ever after.

YOUR MOVE HELLER.
