LATEST THEORIES

I've watched the leaked episode.Its fake in my opinion.In the church
where McAllister(RJ)  talks to Jane ,the phrase "The game is over and I
won" it does not fit the voice pattern of McAllister.How the sheriff
speaks before and after that phrase does not match.I think is Partridge
or Ray Haffner.But considering the lady who feed the pigeons my bet is on Partridge.

Bird poo? Seriously? That was HILARIOUS!!

If this episode is real, these six seasons were worth just to see how jane puts poo in Red John's hand.

AWESOME.

I am scared to visit this site and scroll to even the first post.
Some, wannabe-cool guys who know or have seen the supposed "leak" are ruining it for the rest of us.
I was okay with speculations but your freaking spoilers are completely ruining it. So, f*ck you guys, cant even visit my fav website, for the past few months, until after sunday..

This HappyCool guy that reviewed the episode as a media member said on his youtube page that we shouldn't believe all the talk about the leaked episode.  He said we better watch Sunday.  So we still have hope it is a fake it seems.........

( Some speculation ...... assuming the leak is real ... )

Season 6 episode 8 seems a case of a writer getting trapped by the business side of television ...

Heller started out with an idea for who Red John was ( probably Brett Partridge ) ...

Got a deal for a few seasons of his show .... then thought to himself " well the forensics guy who is a serial killer is so cliche " ... so he came up with the Timothy Carter story line ...

Great idea ... great reveal ... and take my word on it ... that was the "real" Red John reveal ... and it was perfect ...

But Heller got called into the office by some nameless TV executive who told him  ... " No,no,no Mister Heller ... The Red John story is what keeps people interested in The Mentalist .... You have to bring RJ back to life "

So he did ... and he started dropping so many hints and took so many lines even he and his writers didn't know who RJ was ...

 ( Recently - Heller noted that "there were always three or four possibilities" for
Red John, saying that there wasn't an "aha" moment when he and the
writers honed in on the ultimate Red John identity. "It seems like the
natural correct choice," he added, revealing the actor was notified
about his character's Red John identity "at the very last moment and he
was thrilled." - Hollywood Reporter )

With all these dozens of loose ends and clues over the years ... tying it all together was going to be a nightmare ... So they came up with this brilliant idea " We don't have to explain anything ... because Jane doesn't care about explanations - all he wants is to do is kill RJ " ... except it's not a brilliant idea ... It's a sad cop out at about the same level as the " It was all a dream " story ending ...

Heller has already tried to lower expectations by stating viewers will be disappointed by the RJ identity ( McAllister ) ... but McAllister is a fine enough Red John .... if properly explained .... It's the writing that is disappointing ...


( As an aside .... The whole Tyger Tyger thing has so jumped the shark it has bite marks .... The head of CBI is the head of a criminal organization with hundreds of members ? Including serial killers ?  Puhhhlease ... )

I'm really scared for the cast! When everyone sees the way they did the Red John reveal, fans are going to be pissed off and furious!! Red John is a coward, begging for his life? Nothing is explained? Just imagine how many angry posts and comments there will be everywhere! 

I mean even the McAllister fans are unhappy! If it had to be him, why did they do it in such a ridiculous way??

I feel sorry for Simon Baker because he did a wonderful job at the end, when he was chocking him. He is amazing.:(

Welcome Great Fans!

I'am very upset! We had to wait for this almost 6 years?? Really??

Honestly, Red John episode it was a piece of shit, as same as the Dexter finale!

Bruno Heller and his crew just fuck yourself! They aren't shows respect for us!

Is Bruno Heller a genius? - No, he isn't, he is an asshole!
