Folks,

Emotions are clearly running high here.

Haven't seen the 'leaked/hacked' video, but definitely get the gist of what's in it.

Can't say then if it's real or not, but, as far back as 1980, CBS did tape multiple versions of the 'Who shot JR' cliff hanger (which, if I'm correct, may have actually been the show that kicked off the whole notion of season ending cliff hangers) whereby each of the characters in fact had a scene during which they shot JR.

The purpose then (and this was well before the internet made it substantially easier to spread information) was to keep the reveal secret, even from the actors, so as to protect it from becoming known to the public in advance.

Not saying that's what's happening here, but for those who believe it's an impossibility, it has been done before by this very network.

I have seen the episode.... and I expect it will be what airs on sunday....  I love that you think CBS has time and money to throw around on fake episodes. They are in the business of making money and not misleading the fans.....

On to the episode...  I am actually one of the people that liked it..... red john does not need to be in a whole lot of episodes or always around  to have his presence felt... in fact with the Blake association "he is always around in some form"

as for questions..... it answers a whole lot.....
- the bomb at jane's house
- sophie millers murder
- the bare foot in the house after the bombing
- "he is mar"
- the clue at end of 6.01 and why lisbon was spared...
- bruno saying he is "just a man"
- why partridge has to die first
- why his skin is missing when cho examines the body...

It also shows that Patrick knew all along who Red John was since the bombing....

As for not answering other questions like "how he got the list"..... the show moves two years into the future next episode.... I am sure  in the next few episodes  some will be adressed in conversation....I mean they have had 2 years to dissect his organization...

The reveal also shows how the Blake Association helps take care of everything....
and how it helped mask his identity. Reede Smith clarified that in the last episode  "you get a phone call  you do what they ask no questions asked"

Heller said people would be disappointed  because "he is just a man"... well he is,  and him calling 911 and begging for mercy  is a prime example of that . Red John is just like most killers - a coward.  I mean  he even build  an association of crooked cops to ensure he wouldn't get caught! What is more cowardly than that.

I wont reveal who it is... but the fact that people were expecting some over the top epic showdown, and that it is not who everyone wanted as RJ may play a part in people being disappointed....

Just saw the episode and...hahahaha it was so funny.

Especially when bertram dies, he gets shooted and he says "Ah." and the he crashes on the ground. Hahahaha

McAllister magically turns into Bolt running for 2 Km with a bullet in the stomach.

Red John defeated by a pigeon, check McAllister's face when he saw the pigeon hahaha

No answer to how Red John got the list of seven or how he managed to do what he had done during all the seasons.
From half episode until the end it's basically
"do you wanna know how I got the list right?"
 "No I don't want lalalalala I'm going to kill you evil bastard with no hair lalalala"

The only thing that I liked was that Cordero died, that guy was irksome.

Seriously, if this episode is the final chapter of Red John, then I'm Britney Spears.

i knew it: guys, Heller is using all the bad cliches.  thats what i call "hot-shots-style". thank god he didnt get charlie sheen to play red john for this.

1. how bertram falls down after getting shot
2. red john with the pigeons like a little girl
3. RJ calling 911
etc.
etc.
etc.

i can go on and on....this stinks irony...

One does not simply make two different episodes! please guys cut the crap rj is McAllister and the real proof is the phobia, and i'm disappointed too from the way he cries eeeeuh don't kill me pleaaaaaaase lol
I think that whoever leaked this episode must go to jail.

Green = Totally agree
Red = You're not disappointed
