I swore on my Grandmother's grave I would not post here, but it seems I always break promises.

Anyway, my name is Anthony Yetzi, and I sirs and madams, am a fucking cunt.

I believed McAllister when he said he wasn't Red John.  I didn't buy his Red John reveal.  Timothy Carter was a more convincing RJ than McAllister.  The show has to convince the audience that the character is RJ and McAllister didn't convince me at all. you can't just have some character appear out of nowhere and just say they are Red John they have to prove it                 I have not heard one person say they were happy or satisfied about the RJ reveal   the show hasn't even done a good job of making a new begining or given us a storyline that replaces the RJ story   If Timothy Carter wasn't RJ and did such a good job of playing RJ than I believe McAllister was doing the same    if Red John could hypnotize Christene Frye into a catatonic state than he could hypnotize Carter and McAllister to believe they are Red John   Jane killed them both caues he believed they were RJ     he believed them because they were hypnotized to believe they were RJ                                                            how does Bertram not know who RJ is but knows about the "silly voice" ?

I am really confused about what the rest of this season is going to be about.... So I hope to answer that question by talking about the fans and/or the backbone of the show.
Anyway, there are a few different reasons I've come across as to why fans watch the mentalist and I wanted to write a little something about that:

There are those who watch the show because...
1) They are interested in the Red John case.  This one probably applies to 99% on the people on this site, obviously.
2) They want to see Jane and Lisbon get involved romantically.  Probably not too many people reading this are part of this group.
3) They are interested in the character Patrick Jane.  Probably applies to most of the people here.

Of course, someone could watch the show for any combination of the three and not just one reason and probably other reasons I didn't mention.  I was just trying to go over the main ones.

Whatever Bruno Heller considers the backbone of the show out of these three, (again, it could be something else entirely) is what the rest of the season/series will be about.  I am leaning toward #3, but it could also be #2, or it could be #1 and hopefully that would appease some of you who have been disappointed this season.

If you are still waiting for the show to recover, or for the RJ story to make a comeback, or insisting that the producers are planning a major surprise, please read the following and answer the question to yourself:

You and your significant other are on vacation in Grand Canyon.  You are enjoying the view from the top of the tallest boulder.  Miles and miles of beatutiful scenery all around.  You are making small talk; nothing major but it is enjoyable.

Then, all of a sudden, you push your partner over the cliff.  She is falling and screaming.  It is a long way down and she is wondering why you'd ever do such a dumb thing. 

You, however, have a better plan.  You rush down the mountain on a hidden pathway, and try to get down before your partner falls on the ground.  You will then save her right before she makes touchdown.  Then, she will surely appreciate you that much more and forever be in awe of your intellect, strength, and humor.

Would you do this move or not?


PS.  The analogy is hopefully clear.

Is it possible that jane made that tape along lorelie ?
I know its a long-shot but i am sure some of you may of thought of it before
-when lorelie "dies" jane hardly seems to care . He doesn't check the crime for clues or even check it at all. He briefly looked and said "she had it comin"
- on the tape lorelie says rj is mad at me for the handshake remark, ok but he's not mad you are trying to kill him ? Hmm
-We have to assume that jane wanted to show lisbon the list that "rj" guessed since he showed her
- the outcome that jane KNEW was gonna happen
1. Lisbon tells the team.
2. Gps trackers were put. on the suspects.
But why?
I assume jane did this all as a chess move thus waiting to see what his enemy would do .
So what can we conclude rj did ?
Killed partridge ? Why?
Put his mark on lisbon
-------i think this is when patrick found out who rj really was since only his own team had this info.
------patrick knew rj is leading him to tiger tiger . Thats what red johns rules means. It means find tiger tiger.
