CBS shows Red John in a Promo?
http://ow.ly/i/3OioV
This has to be a misslead. It's true that many of us saw the leaked episode, but cmon, there are far more regular-non-fan viewers. Revealing Red John before airing the episode? CMON, that would be FUCKING RETARD.
My hope, about that scene:
PJ: Fucking Thomas, tell me who the hell is Red John
McAllister: FU
Disappointed fans are putting more weight into the mythology of Red John
as a criminal mastermind over being a human being. He was smarter than
Patrick the entire time until the very end when he was brought down to a
human level and destroyed. The reason the show didn't focus on flashbacks
and neatly answering every question about how much smarter Red John
is(was), is because it doesn't matter. That is and never was supposed to
be the focus of Patrick's struggle. He wanted justice and finally got
it. By not answering the questions he's not reaffirming the grandeur
of a character who wants notoriety. Patrick gained the most solid
victory possible by dismissive and not dwelling on Red John's 'accomplishments' - and the fans who want to know everything are
disappointed.
Shared photo of Red John while he is dying,
Showed Red John us in promo,
Because of them unfinished episode got stolen and leaked.

If that leaked episode is real, CBS must be FU....closed.
Posting again, for everybody's sake:Ultimate proof the "leaked" episode is a fake (or at least it has been tampered with): the start and end production codes do not match. At 00.01 is 4x5608, whether at 43:36 is #3x7954 .
Bruno Heller said we would be disappointed to find out who Red John is because he was just a man. No elaborate amazing revealations. Red John ended exactly as he was supposed to. A shameful, pathetic and scared man. After all this time, there is nothing special about him once the curtains are pulled away. They did a fantastic job with this storyline and if you think otherwise it's of your own doing. Patrick made him feel regret and humanized him right before he killed him for destroying his family. Perfection. I'm still going to watch the TV episode, but the rough cut did the show justice.
Come on, a hot chick like lorelei falls for MacAllister, lolz, I wud have loved if red john died due to old age or disease, but this last episode was sloppy. Come on if red john knew Patrick would kill him, why not shut the hell up and flee the country, go underground. And that lady follower of RJ has a blade to kill PJ wtf someone give her a gun damn it.
This is what one of the lead editors of The Mentalist, Jimmy Gadd, tweeted on 22nd nov:
-I know you're angry that fans are spoiling this Sunday's episode. The CBS Press site was hacked & a link was shared of the unfinished show.
-Just ignore the spoilers & watch the complete & finished episode this Sunday. I'm sorry it happened but thank you for being such great fans!
