LATEST THEORIES

The preview for the next episode looks absolutely ridiculous! Wtf was Jane doing? Dancing around like a school boy in mexico with some skank tourist................ dafuq is going on? Also for those of you who didn't know, BH knew who RJ was going to be even before season 1 began....... a sherrif, just like in The Profiler.

So, how on earth did the sheriff convince T Carter to die for him? He certainly wasn't blake association. 

And... if RJ Macallister planned to kill Jane and Bertram in the same scenario, giving an end noone would ask about, would this mean that the sheriff was willing to stop killing under the RJ identity to bury the case? (maybe he would still do it under another alias).

What I mean by this is that in the end RJ didn't exist to the person who was RJ. McAllister didn't believe in RJ, and he was up to drop the character just to prevent from being caught. The sheriff always took RJ as a façade, and this is the most disappointing conclussion. It doesn't make sense. I was waiting RJ to be someone to at least believe his own delusions. A crazy man.


He played Patrick all along, even dying. Even if he was the one to kill Jane's family, McAllister wasn't RJ cause RJ doesn't exist. He was just a fiction, he makes fun of the voice.

SOOO, big question... If RJ wasn't believing his own shite, how on earth did he get so many followers and surrogates?



So many questions, and so many doubts, and gret pain no to get a decent, rational, logical answer to them.

Regardless of who we predicted Red John would be, I just want to say that my least favorite part of the reveal episode was having to watch a middle-aged guy who had been shot in the stomach run faster than I can...............

I know this might sound very very weird, but in my opinion Red John is all of the 7 guys Jane thinks that are them suspects.
I don't have a lot to go with, but its just my opinion seeming as "Red John" has 7 letters, and there are 7 suspects.
Plus it would be kind of cool that if the 7th season was the last one :)

Anyone find it odd that the
Fbi who is influenced by tiger tiger all the sudden goes after brett styles? And even weirder that rigsby knew all about it for no reason? Especially when he kisses fbi butt in episode 8 ;). The girl who identifies the 3 dot tattoo makes no sense. We should conclude that her job was to tell patrick about tiger tiger . Otherwise rj would have killed her to make sure she was silent .
Weird that the fbi goes after styles then oateick tKes down the blake boys right after . Styles is alive . Lorelie is alive . Were in for a bad guy worse than red john.

I just remembered that at the end of last season there was a debate which show should be cancelled (due to financial issues): The Good Wife or The Mentalist. Both shows were brilliant but if it had to be one, it would have probably been The Good Wife that would have stayed on.

Somehow, however, producers of both shows managed to convince the board to keep them going. My guess is that Heller pulled some proper ace off his sleeve and CBS trusted him with a whole next season. Would the amazing stuff look anything like what we saw last Sunday? I seriously doubt it. I think Heller is going for something completely NEW here and the CBS saw it. There would be nothing new in finishing off an arch ememy like this and proceeding to 'two years later' and a new career opportunity for Patrick. It was  done before and has killed many popular shows. What are they going to do now? Mope around for 14 episodes??

There're two options:
ONE: Heller came up with a unprecedented development in a TV series plot and is going to knock us off our feet (like he did to the CBS decision making body)
TWO: Heller begged and begged that he could at least finish his show before it goes off air - and thus the rushed, poorly written, unprecedentedly ridicilous ending

I know dissapointment spreads through out and you feel this is the end and I'm sorry to say I feel the same way.

But don't you think this would have been a better script:

Jane is on his way to the church to meet bertram, but Jane pays a young boy to go in there in a hood and tell them that Jane sent him and he was going to pass on the message.

A Bertram is furious is orders Oscar to shoot him, but just as Oscar raises his gone he gets shot in the heart and then bertram right after… both collapse and are dead.

All we then see is a random man walk out of the front of the church but standing in the shadows and we can't see his face. Then he says in red johns famous soft and mellow creepy voice "Patrick come out, the games over and I won" 

But out of no where someone grabs RJ from behind and then all we hear is Janes voice and he says "Do you know who I am" with a gun pointed to RJ'S head. (RJ did this to Jane and Jane is doing it back to him)

He then pulls RJ out and we see Mcallister looking helpless and at the same time almost delusional and laughing almost mad. Then Jane says "Your work is that of a demented sexually perverted psychopath , but I knew this day would come and it has, so say your last words and repent" 

RJ says NO PLEASE YOUR NOT LIKE ME.

Jane says "NOW YOU BET FOR MERCY AFTER ALL YOUVE DONE. 

and he shoots RJ in both legs and he collapses then jane takes a knife out of RJ'S OWN POCKET and says "The list was simple for you to get, because I wanted you to have it, because you see I was always a step ahead of you because you see once you got hold of the list you knew I was getting close because you were on the list and you would want to kill me before I got to you and I loured you in"


Jane says I spent my whole life making mistakes but I'm sure this one is for the greater good and he stabs RJ.

They then unveil some more things in coming episodes. PLEASE AGREE IF YOU LIKED IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE REAL ONE AND HIT THE RED IF YOU THINK ITS NOT, COMMENT WITH OPINIONS. THANKS 
IM PURELY WRITING ANOTHER SCRIPT DONT YOU THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ENDING AND HELLER COULD HAVE ATLEAST WRITING SOMETHING BETTER… JUST AN IDEA
