LATEST THEORIES

Funny little realization I just had:

A SMILEY painted in the victim's blood, at the most obvious place in a crime scene, a signature of an "artist with a strong sense of theatre"

I have read some people theorizing it was connected to clowns - carnival - Jane's past, but I think it's just what it is: a smiley in blood.

What does a smiley in blood mean? A comical approach to death. Rejoicing in gore. Having a "love for the macabre".

I think there has been a change of mind on the Red John identity between conception of the character and his apparent reveal. Seems pretty simple and straightforward when you think about it. But then again, I ghould be wrong.

Well if the killer's name was PINK JOHN, then I would be ok with the act. And if the show was named MENTAL EAST, then I would also be okay with the plot. since both are not as above, fuck Heller and the other writers. I will keep watching Kirkland scenes from YouTube every now and then and remember the old times trying to convince myself that I've actually never seen or heard about this leaked episode.

Dudes, can anyone tell me if you can find  any article online, coming from any web news source talking about how the ruff cut of the episode RED JOHN, the most spected episode of the TV show the mentalist  was liked, from the own CBS pressexpress.com web, and how CBS cant believe this hapend???

Cos i sure couldn´t found it, dont you found a little bit strange that:

1-The episode liked from CBS itself (did that ever hapend before?)
2-24 hours pass and NO COMENT FROM CBS
3-The episode went world wide and still NOTHING TO COMENT ABOUT IT 
4-No one other , blog or pages like this one about the mentalist, know or coment about it


 Is like loosing 4 million bucks and going, Baah, its ok, i dont feal like looking for my money!

If nothing is said in the next 24 hours the episode was another red herring , probably with scenes that wont be on the actual episode and with a lot of missing scenes!

At list is what i believe.

Of course i could be terribly wrong, in wich case, it is the worst ending in TV show history, even worst than dexter and Lost, why? because the story, the writing and the actors were better!!!

Cheers Folks!!!

This leaked episode was a huge joke. Worse than dexter finale (even if I liked it).
It is clear that it was a trick played on us, to mock our silly theories.
Because of this :
- no explanation about the list (which could have a bad influence on the real one)
- pidgeons everywhere (to mock our paranoia, red john is not afraid of it of course)
- the woman with knife (funny scene)
- the actor who plays Young Man ( The only thing I agree with)
- Partridge's death unexplained ( I think he helped PJ more than we think.)
- PJ saying "Fake your death easily" (to mock our tendences'n'abilities to not trust any death)
- RJ saying "one step ahead" (same thing)
- The fbi agent who is a better reader than Red John.
- fbi agents following wrong car (same tip used in sixth episode)
- Red John dialing 911 (funny scene, not only sociopath but also a pussy)
- some scenes seemed to be uncomplete and badly patchworked.

I am so tired I forgot 75% of other things.
Well I hope I'm right else I will think red john used mc allister as timothy but it worked this time.
See you Monday.

Lets hope that this "leaked" episode is a fake. But if it isn't I think they will explain everything in the next episode. I hope.

Maybe this is a fake red john too, hasn't jane killed the wrong one before?
Personally I haven't seen the episode, but by the looks of it, The Great Red Dragon is the last episode I've seen.
