Is it true there's another episode with Brett Partridge as Red John?


Did anyone else notice Partridge standing in front of a slide in the very last second of the episode?

I (like everyone else) is DEEPLY disappointed.
Not that it's McCallister - tho that sucks 2.
But that they didn't do ANYTHING to make it exciting or cool or even worth watching.
It could of been so easy. Just by letting McCallister speak with that creepy RJ-voice through their whole conversation would've made a difference, but nooo. And the big and powerful RJ running, throwing himself through a window?! COME ON!!! So LAME and unlikely. His begging for mercy.. God. Everything that was Red John has been destroyed.
And HOW is McCallister like Waldo?! I was hoping for CBI-Ron til the end, he is the only one who's been in most episodes in the background (Waldo). I've never been a Partridge-fan but even him would've been better...
I'm so deeply disturbed by all this. Wish I could say I wouldn't watch this shit anymore now, but unfortunately I provably will anyways, just HOPING they'll give us some answers (probably won't).
Fuck this!

Watched the episode today again (in Poland i have to watch it by torrents, delays and shit). I watched ONLY scenes with McAllister.

I would say, I change my mind. You have to understand, that some things were done on purpose. We dont get the answers, because Patrick doesn't want them. He doesnt want Thomas to brag about those killings, how he was always step ahead. He wants for him to feel ashamed, he doesnt want him to feel approved and admired by Patrick. In the end, RJ done all this things, so Patrick was impressed. And PJ didnt gave him the satisfaction.
Maybe someday, Heller will answer our questions in an interview or shit. I dont care really. We finally know our RJ. And if you dont like it - stop watching, dammit.

Also the voice.. FUCK. With this music, when he sait "the game is over and i won" I felt the chill going down my spine. With McAllisters eyes.. Bright and creepy. There is something disturbing in the way he's looking at PJ. I think that if he played a little bit creepier person, it would be too much. Exaggerated. Dont you think?

I get that the chase scene and the pigeon thing was funny and illogical. I really truly get it. But hey, nobody's perfect.
I know some of you came with theories, that would be much better endings. I respect that, and to be true, I loved some of them so muchy, that if the site stays after RJs reveal long enough, Im gonna be coming back here to read some, just to remind myself, how hardcore and creative the fans of series can be.

Im taking off my hat, and bow deeply in front of you all. Thanks for such a great time, and remember, DONT BE DISSAPOINTED OR SAD. Because it was fun after all, wasnt it?

You can still salvage this, Heller.  Here's how.

S5E2 ends with Jane drinking belladonna tea, so he can see his daughter again.

Everything since then has been Jane's hallucination.

It's the oldest trope in the book, and it's still better than what you gave us last night.

Sad thing is...

I care about these characters and will likely watch the rest of the season anyway. 

But will I ever let myself do this again, with any series?  No.

I've just seen the episode, and I think it's awesome!!!

C'mon guys! Everything is OK. Finnaly, RJ is just a man of flesh and bones not a superman as he thought himself.
Yes, he is powerful, because of his sheriff statut, his gun, and also because he has very strong mentalist skills, but he can be killed and I think he did realized it until PJ put a bullet in his freaky stomach.
OK the pigeon trick is a bit stupid but don't forget the show is also about magic tricks, and doing this Heller wanted to remind us this side of the story. When I saw that, it remind me a scene from "The 5th Element" when Gary Oldman smother himself with a cherry kernel, and the priest told him something like "look at you, you think you are powerful because you rule the world with all your money and your technology, but you're going to be killed just by a small cherry kernel". And it's all about that! When Patrick throw the pigeon, RJ reacts like a small girl and lose all his power. When he asks for pity in the church it's just a trick to call his minion (the wife with knife), but when he asks again in the park, he is serious, he don't want to die. he thinks he is too strong and important to be killed like an animal in a park. The guy is completely crazy, until the last moment he wants to trust that he is magic "I'm a true psychic". And Jane's provocation "I'm a bit disappointed" (meaning: Look at you little piece of shit, you think you're invincible, and I kick your ass with a pigeon!), he knew exactly that using this kind of sentence, Rj would lose his self control.

The last scene is great, PJ is running for many reasons:
- to runaway from FBI, coz now he will be like Micheal Scofield in prison break,
- to evacuate the adrenaline,

And look at the background, there are:
a walking mother with her daughter,
an old couple
a father playing with his daughter.
Three things PJ could never do because of RJ.

This is my interpretation, I loved this finish. now I hope many questions will find answers later (we have this season + another one before the end of the show).

PS: stop investigate by watching all the McAllister episods, because until end of season 5, no one was supposed to be RJ, so no clues to find.

Just a fancy thought:

What if Red John uttered his grand words "the game is over and I won", and then shoots himself in the head?

I know it sounds absurd and serial killers usually do not commit suicide, but I wonder how Jane would have felt about it. No more personal revenge for him, ever. Would he bend over Red John and try to reanimate the man? Maybe he would, but it's too late, and then, while thinking about the final lovescene of Romeo & Juliet, he also kills himself.

Afterwards a dove and a pigeon slip by.

Red John is the Mentalist, the Mentalist is Red John.........

Mark my words when May comes around and the Mentalist is about to reveal their season finale it's going to end with the Red John face. This can't be the way it ends, as soon as the ratings go done he'll be back. I still think Heller has something up his sleeve.

And lastly for the ppl that are pissed that the so called episode leaked, you shouldn't have watched it then.......enough said, the show was decent I honestly think they could have had a better Red John but it is what it is!!!!!

Looking forward to see what the show brings
