LATEST THEORIES

Someone previously suggested watching Sherlock if you are frustrated with how the Red John saga ended with no plausibility. I'm writing this post to tell you to FUCKING WATCH SHERLOCK now.

I received more answers and explanations within the first 20 minutes of Sherlock than I did in 6 seasons of The Mentalist. 

I'm not saying abandon The Mentalist, but if you're the type of person that needs rationality to shows, SHERLOCK IS FOR YOU. 

Amazing, thank you fellow user of this site for the suggestion.

Leaked information about the next long-term storyline!

1) There will be a new serial killer to hunt!
2) He might have a connection to Red John, allthough they've never met.
3) He calls himself "The Awesomentalist".

Here is a leaked screenshot:

can anyone tell me why others seasons have 22 episodes and this one only have 10 episodes? if so.. this is over tho... i mean because if we still have 12 episodes left this can make a good turn you know what i'm talking about? maybe RED JOHN thinks everything is cool out now and kill someone else and by make some mistake and this time PATRICK is really going to face him. but this time red john is going to talk smart even if he's dying not like the sheriff that was a dumb as fuck Red john.. anyways we still have a lot of answers not answered like, what happen to Patrick's father? why RED JOHN started killing people? but if there's only 10 episodes this is BULLSHIT because it would not make any sense if he doesn't answer questions...

Season 6, Episode 8 "Red John"
What's the deal with Jane saying, "What beady little eyes birds have. Tiny dinosaurs, you know?"

Then the final scene with the dinosaur slide...normal music to creepy music, and creepy guy standing in front of the slide.

Watch this video...

I hope everybody likes the new show. I hope Jane goes to jail and shares a cell with Heller. The new show promises to answer no questions and just go in a different direction. Jane did the voice for Red John!? Think about it. The clues and all the cool stuff was just meaningless nothing.

I think the RJ story line is truly over (unless the ratings fall really quickly).  My Blue Heaven was fairly decent, and so I will continue to watch.  What will be interesting is the clash between the new FBI agent and PJ.  The agent is as arrogant as PJ and almost as bright--but not quite.  The original of the "deal" is kept by PJ after the agent signs. The agent then signs and keeps SIX copies.  When PJ gets back to the US and is safely in the hands of the FBI, the agent says he only signed the original and did not accept it. What's your guess that one of the copies is different from the rest and binds the FBI (by the way, suspend your disbelief--it is the Justice Department that makes deals and not the FBI).

You know how there was this one episode that Jane reflects on his carni days throughout the episode? Like when he was younger how he was helping his father scam people etc etc.. 

WELL.. I think they should dedicate one WHOLE episode instead of a reflection (they actually did that really well, like provide a back story etc) on the development of Red John like how he started.. with the Visualize barn and everything and eventually maybe dedicate the last 10/15 minutes on the clues we received throughout the seasons.. and maybe how Red John contacted Timothy Carter and everything, where all our unanswered questions will make sense and see how each one relates to another. 

I HOPE THEY DO THIS! I will feel so satisfied. 

PS Sorry if someone already mentioned this, just expressing my thoughts :P
