A bond of unity is present here, a unity which born through resention of Bruno Heller and episode 8. It's nice to see fans united, but it would only be bettered if it were a happy unity instead of an angry one. I come bearing a possible explanation for episode 8.

Episode 8 is a dream. No one runs a marathon at that speed with a bullet inside them, let alone that old Sherriff McAllister. The bigger mystery is whose dream is it?

Criteria: What was strange in the episode?

- Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt are all wrong in their personalities, so this person obviously doesn't know the CBI team
- Agent Abbott is exactly like Agent Abbot so this person knows agent Abbot. They could be in the FBI.
- little girl listening to music closes door on McAllister. Who is this little girl?
- older girl listening to music runs past Jane and McAllister near a school bus. No comment.
- this person has a very detailed knowledge of the way that Red John seemingly died. If they're in the FBI as deduced earlier, they've read a case file recently.
- Jane speaks Spanish in the episode. Is this person expecting Jane to be fluent in Spanish or something?

The only person I can think of that comes close to fitting any of this is Kim Fischer who mentions dream worlds on the episode "My Blue Heaven."

Kim Fischer could have dreamed this dream on her flight to Mexico, hence the Spanish and she works for the FBI and she was tasked with bringing Jane back to the US, so she would have read the case file on the events leading to Jane fleeing the country. There's something strange about her...

It seems an eternity ago that Jane went into his house with an elaborate plan. It seems like it worked. He killed Red John. The other part of the plan was making it look like Jane was clueless, and that McAllister was Red John. This plan also worked. Everybody, including FBI, thinks McAllister was Red John. That leaves us, the audience, 2 years ahead, having not seen the real Red John ending. In time, I expect circumstances to force Jane to explain what really happened. And we'll be in for one hell of a Red john episode.

I think the fact that the show hasnt spoke about red john, hasnt answered any of the clues , and are purposively not mentioning anything pertaining to red john and are so secretive about it PROVES that they are saving it all for the end . If they were trully done with red john we would hear jane and lisbon speaking about it but they dont .
Rigsby and van pelt need to be written off the show in a way thats not pertaining to their child, or new job. It has to be something else right ? Possibly a showdown with patrick but i see lisbon taking the shot this time .
We are in for probrally the greatest ending to a show ever .
Yes the mentalist is new and moving on BUT they still have to get rid of rigsby and van pelt somehow and they will eventually talk about the usb, red john, and the BA SO BE PATIENT .
Keep the faith and get ready.

The only thing stopping me from hiring 5 men to sodomize Bruno Heller without lube is the slight possibility that RJ might still be alive. The second kim was revealed as FBI,i knew she was Van pelts "replacement"..................nobody can replace Van Pelt!! And for god's sake,why does Jane look like a homeless crackhead? 

Why is bruno doing this to us?

I have a theory about two different red johns based of character traits.

1. The masculine red john . This rj seems to use power and connections to get things done . This would be the BA Macalister version.
His actions are fueled by anger. This red john most likely raped lorelies sister as well as others . The sex slave red john. The sexual deviant red john. Bases his or her actions from ego and pure anger.

2 The feminine side to rj. The female tiger chasing the deer . The sips tea and reads blake red john .
This character seems to be fueled by not anger but principle. Also, this rj was never a rapist that we know of . Usually bounds the victim by the wrist and slits their throats. Bases his or her actions based of principle and has a sort of moral code with the killings .

There are 3 types of people
On this site.
1. Optimist- love the show and think there is more to the red john theory and rightfully so since so many clues are there.
2. Pessimist- think its over , quote heller constantly , and even tho they have a feeling its not all over they believe red john is definitely dead. Which is fine because the show tells us he is dead.
3. Haters- trolls who dont want the show and just hate on everybody with a mind. Sad souls with nothing but hate inside of them.

So which one are u?
