And so ends the Red John chapter. I so much wished that the leaked episode was fake. I would so much like to see Simon Baker and Bruno Heller's face now. FACEPALM.

Here is how the Mentalist team made the show.
They finished the Red John chapter in Season 3. But realized that the fans are hungry and its too soon and also didn't know what to do after Red John. So they made a stupid plot that the man killed was someone else and resurrected Red John. What they really needed to make these episodes after that was not a real Red John but the intelligence of Red John and making him one step ahead always. In the end, you could make anybody Red John right?
So they drove the shows for 2 more years and knew that its time so they had to end it up all in a hurry. So they made 7 suspects (some people that we have seen once or twice except Partridge) and then knocked down one by one.

Otherwise, how else would someone like that Sheriff McAllister, who appeared in just ONE episode in 2008 lying somewhere in the Napa county be decided as Red John? They obviously informed Xander Berkley that he will play Red John in 2012. How else would one DUMB police officer incapable of closing cases in 2008 be a super cool observer in 2013?

And how did he say he found out the list of suspects?

McAllister: Coz I am a real Psychic.
Me: Psychic? My ass!

Its like Bruno Heller and team thought - Oh it would be cool to portray that Red John knows the list of suspects! So they did it and now they had to tie it up with an explanation. They couldn't find any! So well.. lets make him a real psychic!!

Overall: Waste of time

So...quick recap:

September 2013
Heller: "I hope people are satisfied and hope it's a great, fun conclusion to that particular aspect of the show. But you can only do your best and put it out there. I know that everyone here is happy and pleased. Sometimes you're forced to hate the conclusions or the wrapping things up in silly, absurd ways or in fact — naming no shows — it turns out they didn't have any idea how they were going to end the show or what the secret was or why there were pygeons ...uhmm I mean polar bears. We have the answers and it's very important to us, for those people who have been following us from the start, to reveal not in a series of cryptic moments that leave a lot of questions begged. We're going to tell the story and explain who Red John is and what happened and what is going to happen as clearly as possible because the audience deserves that."

Latest interview:
Heller: "There is a great deal of [backstory], if anyone waned to ask those questions, I’d be happy to answer. There’s a lot of questions about motivations and what [Red John] was doing and when and how… It makes for great Internet fodder, but it’s not very entertaining for a weekly TV audience."

...

What the actual f*** went wrong in your head in these 2 months, Bruno Heller??
There were so many ways in which season 6 could have been epic. Instead you say it would not have been very entertaining.

Sad to say I probably won't we sticking with the mentalist until the end of the season. I feel like I was screwed real bad.

I'll just go watch Hitler's reaction, listen to Bach and drink some tea.

Tyger Tyger.

What I think:-

-Season 3 should have been about revealing Red John(Bradley Whitford) but not Killing him.
-Season 4 should have been about Patrick Jane looking for Red John and eventually killing him.

Then finally in Season 5 it should have been about the Blake Association:-
-How Jane finds the 3 dot tattoo on Brett Partridge, Gale Bertram and etc.
-Jane trying to figure out why Red John told him the poem of William Blake.
-Jane finding out about the Blake Association.
-Origins of the Blake Association.
-How did Red John start the Blake Association.
-Jane understanding why Todd Johnson's last words were Tyger Tyger.
-Jane finding out it is the Blake Association password.
-Jane and co eventually taking down the Blake Association.

Then through Season 4 & Season 5 explaining a few things like:-
-Brett Stiles connection to Red John.
-How did Kristina become like a zombie.
-How Red John knew about "Roll Tide".
"He is mar".

To Bruno Heller,

The fact that everyone thinks the episode is fake sums it up. That's how bad the episode was. That is how you betray the fans and let them down by giving them a crap episode about the most important storyline in the series. We are all disappointed about the episode. even Simon Baker wasn't happy about Red John's identity. But Red John's identity wasn't what let us down. It was your lazy ass trying to explain things simply by making Red John a psychic. 

P.S Even you didn't who Red John was! And to think we all thought you were a genius

It can't be McAllister? that's just to easy.. There must be someone who is in charge, someone you never notice ? what about the women who interred the church? she's gone when the FBI interred the church.. Later in the show you'll watch her walk way close by the FBI cars. There is much more, I think! 

The sheriff isn't smart enough, RJ wouldn't just die like that, not after all this time.. If RJ is so smart and PJ have been searching for 10 years, why should he reveal himself just like that? I think RJ is much smarter than that. Don't hate, just my thoughts.
