Am I really supposed to believe that Red John bombed Patrick's house? The time between Patrick's gunshot and the bomb being set off is quite long (How long... I do not know). Then Teresa co-incidentally arrives on the scene. And Bertram and Reede conveniently escape, and the other 3 people are dead- blown to bits. And through all this, Patrick is almost fine and kicking in the next episode?... That would be worse writing than a very essential "fake death."
And I'm supposed to believe Gale Bertram is Red John, as Patrick announces next episode to the media. And I'm supposed to believe Reede Smith, who is caught next episode, is RJ's friend, so he spared him in the bomb blast? Yet he decides its fun to blow up Bret Stiles, the leader of the source of his followers. Heck, I'm supposed to believe Bret Stiles, McAllister and Haffner are even dead?
If Bertram is RJ, who the hell is he calling in fire and brimstone?
I'm supposed to believe, the "educated" brother Robert Kirkland, can't read? "Agent Lisbawn," seriously? And that Robert Kirkland is capable of forgetting all about Tyger Tyger and gains a beer belly in max 3 days in prison before Smith shoots him? And that Robert who tortures people for information on Red John, suddenly kills Jason lennon and calls him a friend?
Am I really "reaching" when I say Reede Smith shot Michael Kirkland?
Am I really "reaching" when I say Bertram, Smith and McAllister are good guys on the inside of Tyger Tyger- the subject of their meeting was "a clean up" and "tracking the arrests"? Law enforcement clean up? Am I reaching when I say Robert Kirkland and Gale Bertram are having a conversation after Patrick invites him to his house.
