LATEST THEORIES

At least they didn't use a mockingbird. That would be too much mocking for one episode.

Just some proofs that the episode is fake:

- Where did Van Pelt, Rigsby and Cho come from when Lisbon and Jane are with the FBI? They appeared out of nowhere.

- Why do Van Pelt and Rigsby have an argument? It makes no sense.

- Why does Rigsby tell the FBI where Jane is?

- When McAllister says "the game is over and i won", why does his voice change so much? It's like he was being doubled.

- McAllister is beated by a pidgeon.

- McAllister calls 911.

- They answer nothing.

- What about when Patrick is being chased by a car and the chase is interrupted because a car goes into the middle of the street JAJAJAJA so funny. Jane had to think "wow! that was so easy".

But if not is a fake episode, no doubt that it has been the worst ending ever. No words to describe it.

To all the fellas saying the leaked episode is a fake, y'all overestimating Bruno Heller. He thinks the mentalist fans are idiots so he screwed up big time. The episode is shit. He deserves that we all shove as many pigeons as the numerous seconds we wasted writing theories, up his rectum.

All hail the mighty pigeon!

It's confirmed: Robert Knepper promoted to Series Regular.

Very little is known about Knepper's character, the enigmatic T-Cup...

I just watched the "LEAKED" episode.

I’m not sure what to think to be honest.

I mean, spoilers ruined it for me anyway.

I think the first half of the  episode was wasted on FBI/CBI rubbish and the fact that Bertram was Red John, then 10 minutes of “oh wait, it’s not him”. What happened to the usual twists and turns and “ooohhhh that’s sneaky” parts of this show that we got in the Season 3 finale. Literally, Jane just stood in the church and explain things, instead of us actually being shown and for clues to start adding up.

The episode feels rushed. In fact, this whole season just feels like it’s happened for the sake of it. Too many Red Herrings. Honestly, Brett Partridge coming back to life or the other Kirkland twin being Red John would make more sense.

I’m not impressed by the choice of Red John. It just doesn’t add up. Such a random choice. I don’t feel like it adds up to all the previous clues we’ve got either.

It’s like, Season 1 - 3 were one Red John (Timothy Carter) and season 4 - 6 were a completely new Red John with the Tyger Tyger bullshit. I got no “serial killer” vibes from this episode, or the past season to be honest. Just a load of rubbish about corruption within the police. I’d have much rather Timothy Carter had been Red John and for it to be left at that. It’s clear that Brett Partridge was the original RJ choice before the show was renewed for more seasons, and I was really really hoping RJ would be him, because he’s the ONLY one on the list that gives me the same vibes as Timothy Carter did. I am looking forward to the time jump. But I still don’t view McAllister as Red John. Timothy Carter/Brett Partridge are the real Red John to me.

I mean, Simon Baker’s acting at the end was amazing, but I felt absolutely no sense of shock or climax throughout the whole episode. I have no idea what Americ watched, but we clearly were not watching the same episode.

I am clinging onto the hope that this episode is just a huge trick and that a slightly different one will come out on Sunday night, but I’m not sure that’s realistic.

Finally, whose freaking idea was it to show Red John in the actual promo for the episode. 6 Seasons later, and some idiot does that???

No theories, just a question, so hit green or red - whichever you think is more likely:

GREEN: Bruno Heller will be on the phone on Monday, calling the head of CBS with a smile, and stating: "My deal with Fox is now complete. I have two ten-year contracts to develop any series I want, with unlimited budget. And I have just made your ratings plummet with the latest episode of The Mentalist. You can keep your shitty show now. The game is over, and I won."

RED: Bruno Heller was on the phone last night, calling a multimillionaire friend of his, sweating, swallowing hard, and saying: "Uh, yes, this is Bruno... listen, could I borrow about 10 million tonight, in cash? I really need some moolah, friend. I have to take about 12 TV actors via private jets to California tomorrow, shoot about an hour's worth of emergency footage really fast, and do major post-production on it, and it's all gotta be done in one day... and that will cost a lot! Hope you can help me out, man."

By the way, here's a photo from Cracow in Poland, one of only seven cities in the world that filled Redneck John's heart with pure terror:
