after watching the great red dragon.. do you really think it's gonna be that easy for the audience. the sole person left standing is now, imo, the least plauisible suspect (this was my belief as soon as i saw he was on the list)
smh at all the partridge disbelievers who now think it's definitely the 'last' suspect standing. unearned hubris. and you'll feel so silly next week.
this is the mentalist, and if you still believe it's this bland, bald, and boring character is the granddaddy of what this show has been based on for 5 years then i feel sorry for you.
the show has to make it as unexpected as possible in conjunction pragmatic rationale.
episode 8, the ultimate episode - the denouement - has great expectations. there will be twists and turns. you can't deny it.
this is why i realllly want it to be partridge now.
a comment here couple days ago said "partridge is what the fans want" "the only logical conclusion" or such. best predicted by this masterpice: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/11340
and that's absolutely true. i dont even know why some of you have such passion in disproving BP. all true mentalist fans should be happy with this outcome.
i can't really think of a solid reason to say otherwise (except: "OH LOOK HE DIES AND THE WRITERS EVEN SAY HE'S ELIMINATED AS A SUSPECT)
..when realistically, it could be explained so effectively.
anyway, just some final points on BP
- had he died second and his death been explained or even questioned by jane then maybe i'd rule out BP. but was the first to 'die' and as i watch the scene back, it becomes clearer. it can be explained so darn well that it makes me question if i've jinxed it or not
- Heller says the partridge death scene will serve a hidden clue (for future reference NOT at the time) that will explain the reveal.
to me this about the tyger tyger group and the whole tattoo thing.
i read a theory somewhere that partridge could indeed have the tattoo but on his RIGHT shoulder as the girl couldve been communicating incoherently.
the guy categorically states that there was actually something on BP's right shoulder underneath his shirt.
i dont know what to make of this, and i cant confirm it because i cant rewatch. can someone shed some light on this please.
needless to say, the partridge death scene was very strange.
all aboard the PARTRIDGE EXPRESS.
