LATEST THEORIES

Having watched the leaked episode, which I'm certain is more or less the
episode that will air on Sunday. The word that keeps coming back to me
is laziness.

Laziness on the part of BH, the writing staff, and
everyone involved with making what should have been a fantastic finale
into not just a disappointment, but an insult to all the fans who have followed and made the show from day 1.

They
could have made McAllister a great Red John. They could have taken the
time to dedicate the entire episode to the reason why everyone has tuned
in for six years.

Yet what I can only describe as sheer laziness and expedience turned a potentially legendary ending to the story into a forgetful one.

All the avenues that should have been explored were ignored:

A clever explanation on RJ knowing the 7 suspects-just looked over.

He Is Ma-not a mention of it.

How Red John recruits his followers, and why are they so willing to give complete devotion to him, to the point of suicide.

A
history to himself as a serial killer, how he began as a killer to in
his own words-"building a secret empire controlling thousands of lives."

How he is able to put people like Kristina Frye, Rosalind and others into that trance like state.

No explanation of how Bret Stiles knew the location of Kristina Frye, and what RJ was planning back in S3.

Not a mention of Bradley Whitford's RJ at all.

Not
even a talk of Luther Wainwright found dead in the back of the limo in
S4, Lorelai Martins, or The Red Barn where RJ presumably made his first kill.

The
whole episode just reeked of laziness, and was a squandered opportunity
to give the RJ story a fitting ending. Not only do they breeze over the
past history of the show, and not give any good explanations, the
episode itself lacked any kind of excitement or structure. The time
spent on the whole FBI angle was unnecessary, when it could have been
put to a proper showdown between Jane and RJ.

The best they had was that Jane had a pidgeon underneath his jacket!?!

The RJ we knew would never had admitted to being sorry for murder and being afraid of death, knowing he was dying.

I would also have liked RJ to have kept his high-pitched voice throughout and reveal that his deeper accent was just a front.

Also just like Timothy Carter, there was no real proof that McAllister really was RJ.

They didn't have to close all the loose endings, but to simply ignore them ALL, just showcased laziness on the part of their team. A waste.

Let 's see things from a different perspective. 

If it would have been a good, well-planned episode, we would enjoy it very much but it would last less than an hour. After it ended we'd be like "wow, that was a great episode. what to do now?" 

Instead of this, Heller gave us something different. He gave us tons of material to make fun of. I mean, this site has been epic in the last two days and it still continues. We should all be grateful for what we have and keep making fun of the episode. 

Special thanks to the outstanding guest star, The Pigeon. May breadcrumbs be with you.

Heller is a GENIUS!!! He's messing with us and he is soooo damn good at it! How could anyone possibly think he would finish the RJ story like that? RJ - so well elaborated character, on which mental abilities they've worked for 6 years, ends up crying and calling 911 (hilarious part,btw :D ), without playing any mental chess with PJ, without anything?! Heller created RJ and PJ, people, for the love of god! :D Think about what he can do to our minds! :D    LOVE IT!!!

Abandon all hope. 
The leaked episode is real, only without some vfx. 
Red John really turns out to be a coward and begs for his life.
We will never know how Red John knew the list of 7.
Red John is a leader of Blake Association, that's dissapointing. 
The promo ruined the already bad episode.

Some people defends the lack of answers by saying that PJ didn't want answers, just revenge.

That's complete bullshit, this serie isn't a third person view following PJ all the time, it's done in an omniscient way.

We've been onlookers from a God perspective so we deserve at least SOME answers, not just the answer of some pointless explosion in season 6.

Face it, the writers showed their incompetence by not being able to tie the loose ends. Heller has been hiding behind other writers that have gone on a rampage. Now he couldn't clean up the mess.

The main problem is the general audience of TV-shows, they are not demanding / involved / intelligent enough. Therefore crap like this is accepted as a valid ending. 

The same thing happened to the game Mass Effect 3 but then the fans were vocal enough to demand a better closure and got it. I doubt the same thing would happen here though...

Maybe an apologize from CBS for the leak and a japanese style public appearance for the writers where they can hang their heads in shame while asking for forgiveness.

Pick up your hayforks, people!

I don't know how to feel and i certainly don't appreciate being called dumb or a junkie because i am none of those things but i must admit that i am incredibly annoyed, upset even if the leaked episode is real and i probably won't watch anything from Heller again. Im one of those who has a slight hope it might have a different ending or red john and i regret watching the leaked episode. Ugh, why did they have to spoil it? It really was not fair for any of us and if its real then i guess i can look at it from Jane's view that he just wanted revenge, not answers, just revenge. =/
