Watched Episode: Red John (S06E08) [No Spoilers]
Unfortunately it turns out it was written pretty badly, even more boring then the later filler episodes where an apparently infallible 'Patrick Jane' seems to be able to decipher a murder within seconds in a very unrealistic, uninteresting and not particularly engaging way. In this episode 'Red John's' identity, which I'm sure some very impolite people will be spoiling was a fantastic choice, problem is they did not give enough time to this character and so a natural discontentment ensued. It wasn't the fault of any of the actors it's merely due to bad writing, not necessarily the unanswered questions (which can be explained in any future episode) but the lack of interesting development or a well thought out conclusion. Bruno Heller for some reason when given a very short time frame (45 mins) decided to use that time focusing on an unnecessary clichéd "FBI" character with predictable twists and turns and pointless sequences, rather than an interesting cohesive 'realistic' conclusion. It felt like something an amateur would have written as you try your best to politely sell a convincing smile of approval. I was pretty disappointed, mostly due to 'Lost' amazingly managing to surpass this awful 'finally'.
Unfortunate.
