Lets have a minutes silence to mourn Red John as we know him, the evil doer who gave us chills like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns_DWnqrEdI&noredirect=1

The badass with connections who did this

Or in general lets just mourn the opening scene which looking at it again the visuals are no longer recognizable from this new episode RED JOHN

Alas my friends I can't believe it's all over. It will never be done again 

THAT WAS IT :-(

You may have heard about the comical manner in which Bertram kicked the bucket; if you are interested in one of his many facial expressions during this hilarious scene, then here you go:

Trust me, this is the most hilarious scene the Mentalist has ever done. Unfortunately, I do not know how to make a GIF. I trust that people will have fun with this scene.

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS

If you haven't seen the RJ episode, you best be avoiding this site right about now, if you're afraid of spoilers.


 Okay, I slept on it and I realized a few things:

1)Jane knew it would be McAllister (foresight about pidgeon/fears), which was a cool,clever twist.  

2)The pidgeon was fitting because it's a magician's trick -- the reason magicians use doves (which are white pidgeons) is because they "sleep" and act dead when they are in the dark -- almost undetectable

3) He is Mar -- We should come up with a million of these, but some possible ones could be "He is Mar-shall" "He is Man-iac" which could be anyone.

4) They played this out as the anti-"Strawberries and Cream." After sleeping on my disappointment, I realized that they didn't want people to just say that they ripped of the Timothy Carter episode (Really die-hard fans wouldn't care, that's why we tune in!!!).  

  So, they did the opposite -- made the team immobile and impotent, set it in he light of day, set it in real time, no resources (just Jane's brain and everyday objects), RJ is no Timothy Carter, just the jerk (not even creep, too high of praise) next door who wants to be appreciated for his "genius."

   Okay, so they played it simple, few frills, Jane's brain only, mundane, not over the top.  One could say it was realistic and elegant.  One could say that, but I think it's like what happened to The Office season 8 or the Seinfeld finale (which were crap) -- they went for the counter-expectation, the bait and switch.  The writers got too writerly, they only talked amongst themselves without looking at it from our perspective.

Hmmm . . . what would the audience not expect?  Was their clarion call.  

 -- Jane in a church
 -- impotent team
 -- low tech revenge: bird and choking
 -- daylight, quotidian locales, soft begging RJ with no real insights to reveal other than the plea for life "Don't you wanna know how I got the list?"
 -- Calling 911 instead of Blake or Visualize cronies

In the end, did the audience just want something the didn't expect? Or did we want Timothy Carter in a different incarnation?  Our collective backlash should give you the answer.  Yes, we wanted the chain-pulling of each Season Finale and RJ episode to finally come to an end, but not JUST to come to an end.

   It's like a bride who decides to cut off all of her hair and dye it red right before her wedding and then gets upset and pissed off when her groom is shocked and disappointed.  He IS surprised, but not necessarily in a good way.  That's just how it feels, Bruno Heller.

   Please give us a Partridge alternative ending (online webisodes, in the least) -- Haffner, Mashburn, Styles, Linus Wagner, etc. alternative endings  a la Clue movie -- just to show how it would have played out, even if they don't fit with the rest of the new season.  We have been your loyal fans, please be loyal to us.

Leaked episode: Real Or Not . . .

Would have have much rather the writers used this theorist's/spoiler's outline for the finale. Would have at least gotten most of the nagging questions answered.

Theory 13389

Follow the evidence of this "leaked" episode and I think you wind up with Reede Smith, aka Roy Tagliaferro I, as Red John Killer, with Michael Kirkland (or MAYBE Brett Partridge) as Roy 2 and his main accomplice.

This Sheriff Mac as Red John comes out of nowhere with NO backstory whatsoever.

What?

I don't know what to think after seeing the leak, i can't believe that this piece of **** is the real 6x08, but i noticed this:

at the very beginning of the video we see some data about the episode, which code seems to be "4x5608", that seems a legit code for the ep 608, but on wikipedia.en I see that "4x5608" is the production code of the ep 6x07, and the ep 6x08 has the prodcode "4x5607". I don't think this is a wiki's error because if you see this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Mentalist_episodes) the mentalist's episodes often have the codes inverted, but i don't know what to think.

Maybe this doesn't mean anything, but I really hope that we will see a different episode this weekend and that this one is only a joke, because if it's not.........
Sorry for my bad englishTyger tyger ;)
