LATEST THEORIES

TV Guide Magazine: Were the other potential Red Johns jealous when you won the prize?
Berkeley: One day on the set Malcolm McDowell [Bret Stiles] said to me, "Mate, you're Red John! Do you know what that means? Do you realize how much money you're going to make on this?" I'm, like, "Huh? What do you mean?" He said, "At the conventions! Don't tell me you don't go to the conventions! Listen to me, mate. Get that girl over there with the camera and tell her to take loads of photos with you and that guy over there" — he points to Simon Baker — "and you go to those conventions with stacks of those photos and people will line up with their money and they will pay you to sign them! It's true! You go, 'Next! Thank you very much! Next! Thank you very much!' It's huge!"

The red john episode was ok yeah it was ok. For someone who killed 30 plus people and begs for his life like a little bitch is so pathetic. The image i had of red john was more strong if you know you got shot by a person that wants pure revenge the last thing patrick is going to do is let you live pathetic writing. I would of liked to have jane over mcallister and he said i enjoyed killing your wife and daughter my knife cutting into them slowly me looking into there eyes , and knowing the fear in them gave me great joy, and the smell i described to timothy carter is one of the best memories but no we get the blink once or twice bullshit. One last thing instead of a pussy ass the mentalist a new beginning, it should have been the mentalist the red john story, and the fbi could have said jane we found many desciples of red john we need you to get the story or something like that but no stupid shit. If you agree please click or push that green plausible button.

After many years of waiting for closure. The Mentalist manages to destroy all the is red and make a lot of green. This is a rant about the pigeon. YEAH! The PIGEON!http://youtu.be/ATKGgCkR1jQ

Right at the end of the episode, Brett Partridge is watching a little girl go down a slide. I didn't know Red John had a family.

Xander Berkeley ‏@xanderberkeley just entered the twitterverse… has anyone seen my soul? I've misplaced it before, but now I think it's really gone.

---Yeah mine too, Xander, all thanks to Bruno Heller. That's just what he does, and he doesn't even have to try. The bitch just ain't a good writer, so I feel you.

I feel like I'm turning red now that it's out that I am #RedJohn. #TheMentalist

---Yeah red from embarrassment at how much Bruno Heller f**ked your character up and the episode!

Xander Berkeley ‏@xanderberkeley That #SimonBaker just takes my breath away…. #TheMenatlist #RedJohn

---Well for me it definitely has to be Bruno because of the 'amazing' (yeah right!) Pigeon scene, Bertram's death (just a pure class act *note the sarcasm*) and the blinking arrangement RJ and PJ had. Now that's what I call teamwork (try it sometime Bruno, would have made the episode better if you collaborated with the other writers). What a farce, the episode had me trippin'! I'm still in stitches from how pathetic BH is. I do skits of it now and I don't even need to change it to a comedy, I just plagiarise that shit right down to the last minute of that episode, thanks BH.

Xander Berkeley ‏@xanderberkeley Are you following #RedJohn's train of thought? #TheMentalist

---Well BH made RJ and the last episode was nothing like RJ so umm...NO! can't follow. I can follow the yellow brick road better than this and that's without Dorothy's help. So I'm off to see the Wizard now, hoping to get Bruno Heller a new brain so that he can write better. And yes Bruno, you're welcome.

Xander Berkeley ‏@xanderberkeley Sorry I am so so sorry #RedJohn #TheMentalist

----Yeah so are we!



Like I said before, writer's block. Bruno needs to get on top of that shit. Or maybe he is very much like RJ. A perceived mastermind at the beginning and now just a pathetic, uncharismatic, sissy little boy. Maybe you should start writing content based on true stories. I'm sure you can't screw that up...well at least I think you cant. But with you, who knows, you are full of surprises aren't ya? Look at it this way, if a story is already true you won't really need to make up anything 'creative' and you wouldn't need to waste your abilities. Wait I'm sorry, scratch that, we just wouldn't want to see your 'abilities' at all, we've already seen enough.

Finally as Bob Marley said "Jane shot the sheriff, but he should of shot Bruno Heller instead". (sorry probably the wrong lyrics, but hey at least it's more creative than your episode will ever be).

I'd like a series about Red John's past, explaining how he turned into the antagonist we all have learned to respect, and in the final episode of the series he murders Jane's family. I actually loved it being McAllister, AND the Red John episode. I have followed this show since it first aired here in Norway, when I was 12, and for me, this was the best kind of closure on the Red John-saga. To see him at his weakest, begging for his life. It felt good to know that Red John was as human as the rest of us in the face of death. I know there are few who agree with me, but I for one love what Heller has done. He still dignified his character.
