We all saw the shitheap that was last week's episode. After watching the show's pilot again, there is no doubt in my mind that Red John is Brett Partridge. Who cares what Bruno Heller threw together at the last second and called an episode? For such a well-crafted buildup, we were unbelievably let down as viewers. The way he (Partridge) enters, the way he describes Red John's actions, the way his eyes dart when Jane tells the team the RJ in the episode is a fake....... I look back at it and wonder how this isn't obvious to everyone. I can just say that the choice to use an old redneck sheriff as the brilliant serial killer who truly drove this show was a piss poor decision. I've been trying to stop myself from throwing a hissy fit over this but if this episode, an episode where a serial killer is not only defeated by a pigeon but calls 911 and suddenly feels sorry for what he's done, was the real end of the chase for Red John, I'm avoiding anything Heller creates in the future.
