1-  Heller is not a retard or dumb person to nt have a satisfactory ending
2-  If he cant give u all 20 closures on the RJ thingie like his being a Jane-like person, charismatic, tea drinker, barn in 1980s, rosalind harker and all, he may still cud have given 5.
3-  But he chose not to give even 1 - tht is a statement and not due to time constraints or creativity constraints
4-  He made it a point to show RJ as a dumb-ass. PJ commented "I am a lil disappointed". He made it a point to show tht RJ was a afraid person. He was a coward. 

These are facts and not assumptions or assertions. Where do they lead us?

IMHO Heller decided that he was not gonna showcase RJ as a big deal. Of-course he got this thinking only towards the time when the reveal was imminent. Earlier, he wanted to glorify him. Now, I may be inclined to think that in the ensuing 5 months he might have thought and thought again and may change his mind if the theories here who say RJ would be resurrected are to be believed. 

The only thing that is important here right now is that whether these ppl have a will to keep the show going for 1 more season. It will be a shame really as it is/was such a great show. 

no no no no guys..so u know it, i tell u that I hate to have had such a lame ending to the RJ saga..alright..whatever the reason be that is......but hey, I am right now watching season 3 episode where VP thinks she might have left the door on a witness open which got him killed..and just then, there is PJ with all his mojo in this episode and he gets me ..i mean apart from the dark RJ facet, there is the facet of how PJ puts up a brave front in adversity and humors everyone around without sytooping low..all the class in the world and all that is good with life..so i think lets remember that..and ye, he niminght be missing that in his new post-RJ  avatar and tht irks us all..

i think red john is gone now as heller wanted us to not glorify a serial killer too much. so yea we dint like it much, but we gotta move on folks..

I have created with friends a cool tool to let all know when a new theory is posted on this site or any other site that u know of.

down it and customize.

I think that Heller changed his mind as they began to get closer to the revel. The Red John phenomenon had been made grand and he was started to be seen as a big deal and somebody whom people worshipped, although the twisted ones mostly. But nevertheless, he had been glorified enough even if in a negative manner that is. So come to think of it, isnt it a dangerous precedent. Ii mean what if some youngster decides that RJ was too cool to be not emulated and started developing homicidal tendencies. Or if someone got justification for their convoluted thinking. That would be dis-service to the society as no one wants to be killed at the hands of a serial killer for fun man..Maybe Heller deliberately wanted to showcase RJ as a weak man and called him a coward and Jane even said he was disappointed. my 2 cents anyway..

I thought this was a great episode!
Check comments for my thoughts

We the Red John fanatics and clue followers are a very small minority of the
viewership. I believe that the bulk of the fans are in the murder of the
week category and really could not careless about the actual clues or
continuity of the show. Internal consistencies aside the show is
undergoing a major remodeling mid-season. What show needs is a reason
for Jane to continue his detective work without it be directly related
to Red John. Heller and Baker both agree that Jane really could never
grow as a character because of red john. Some have suggested that the show was in it's final season so this Red John reveal was to do the great Finale? I think that the show was in danger of being cancelled but not schedule for cancellation. I think the next few episodes will determine the fate of the show. My guess is a murder of the week format.It is what the majority of the fans wanted? We are the minority? http://redjohnisdead.wordpress...
