you're dead!

Tiger Tiger!

I accuse Bruno Heller ...

... of murdering a perfectly good TV show!

I have just witnessed the grim spectacle that is Episode 8.

Please please please let it be a spoof episode, designed to get the die-hard fans all worked up. But if it is the real deal, then they have let us down badly.

The resolution of this story arc should have been subtle and nuanced, allowing us to understand what lies behind the brutality of Red John. Instead we get this cack-handed effort where Patrick rejects RJ's offer to answer his questions, thereby leaving multiple plot-points forever dangling in the wind.

And, irrespective of this particular episode, the whole Tyger-Tyger malarky is just plain silly. I mean, you'd think that RJ would be kept busy with his full-time job plus his serial murders, but now we are expected to believe that he heads-up a secret society for bent policemen who were dumb enough to get caught!

It's just too nonsensical to be remotely credible.

As a loyal viewer, and purchaser of the box-sets, I feel short changed and let down.

This excellent series has been building up to a climax for a number of years. If this episode is the real deal then they needn't have bothered.

Very disappointing.

                                                                                                                                

After watching the leaked episode for a 2nd time; there was another 'glaringly obvious' clue that this might not be the real deal.

Apart from the shit acting, useless script and dreadful scenes, and the 'laugh out loud' moments mentioned by other people; THIS also caught my eye as being Charlie Chaplin ridiculous.

RJ (MacAllister) running into that family's backyard. The little girl sees him coming towards the house, she stands up and she OPENS the glass door as if she wants to let him in. He ignores the opening door and STILL dives through the glass? Go back and watch this bit again folk - slapstick of the highest caliber. He could have just walked in through the opening door...........

Parody and slapstick.

Patrick's comment about birds having 'beady little eyes' was another laugh out loud moment.

And: Honestly, Betram's 'on vacation' outfit while he's on the run with Cordero......coupled with his 'You know who this, I don't need to use a funny voice' to Patrick on the phone.

When I first watched the episode yesterday, I wasn't sure.....but had a feeling it was fake. Watching it a 2nd time - I'm certain it's a planned leak.

Mr Heller wins this round.

The only question that was answered in this episode was the following: what did Jane do in his room for that week when he asked not to be disturbed by anyone or anything? Simple: he was practising shoving a pigeon up his butt without killing it......Makes sense: cos that's the only way that pigeon was getting into that church without Cordero finding it.

If the Sheriff's Red John, why put Brett Partridge in the IMDb cast list earlier for this episode?!
