THE MENTALIST IS THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW RATINGS WISE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! NOT JUST AMERICA !!!
Stop all this cancelled talk its a great show not everyone hated last nights episode .

Jane is playing the longest and biggest con of his career. And to see him handle it so seamlessly and calmly is a great sight to see.

They are in their last season so they are messing with things for fun. Jane changed his shirt. He has two rule obsessed girlfriends in lisbon and fisher.
He got his couch back and is still a horrible communicator. Lol.

Ok if you go back and watch the old episodes you will realize that this show has always been predictable at times, always had silly dialogue and silly everything. Ive been watching a lot of old eps and the show hasn't changed much.

*The weird thing to me was when jane told his story to the girl. Somebody already said this but she says "wow now i know why u still wear the ring" which was counterintuitive because if jane told her the truth why would it make sense to keep his ring 2 years after he got revenge?

If you saw the big picture like me maybe you would appreciate whats going on in the show. I see janes plan slowly coming into fruition.
I was one of the first guys who said the list of 7 was a con and i got hell for saying it but now it seems very true .
Ask yourself honestly , do you FEEL that red john is over ?
Forget all the clues and evidence, nothing can be proven either way.
But what do you FEEL?
Feel me ?

From the moment we saw that delicious blonde we knew she was the villain of the story.
So what does it make this episode particular ?
- a wedding ring story untold to spectator.
- jealousy from Lisbon & Kim for lovely triangle viewers (which of course we are all on this website).

Cause until now, for that we knew :
Patrick hasn't really a strong sense of moral.
We didn't feel he got his revenge yet.

So what does really keep Patrick to lead villains under arrest ? good question ^^

OMG, this was the worst episode I've ever seen!! So boring, uninteresting, total disappointment..Even the Red John episode was better, LOL. At least that one had Rigsby, Van Pelt and the old team..I'm devastated about what this show is becoming!! Horrible, boring, average! Very upsetting.
Even Jane wasn't enough to keep me interested..Come on guys, I can't believe anyone liked this mess...
Bring back the 'old' people, Partridge, Stiles, Haffner, Kirkland etc..Otherwise this show is dead.

It would've been better if the reason why Jane joined the FBI is like this: Abbott comes to him, shows pictures of a crime scene: a government official is killed brutally, with a red smiley face on the wall. Jane: "It must be a copycat, I killed Red John." Abbott answers: " We thought so too, until this." and gives Jane a recorded message. "Hello Patrick (saying with the same voice as in season 2 finale and season 4 finale), I hope you've been well these 2 years. You think you killed me in that park, but you were wrong. I'm very much alive. Like I promised you in Lorelei's message, I'm starting killing again. Take care of yourself and Teresa. Bye byeee....." --> Then Jane joins the FBI to catch RJ once and for all... 


What do you think? I hope you liked my suggestion :)

Little hints remain in the series indicating that it's not over with RJ saga -- like the fact that Jane still wears his wedding ring as a promise to his wife and daughter to find justice for them -- which doesn't make a lick of sense if the real RJ is REALLY dead and gone.  It's been over two years now.  Seems reasonable to think that ANYONE would want to start moving on after a decade of pain and searching, and two years on an island where you don't speak the language... 

Jane is pretending to believe that he's killed Red John...

because...JANE GIVES THE VILLAIN WHAT THEY WANT AND EXPECT...FOR A TIME...before he reveals his true intention and knowledge of their crime, finally capturing them.  When he captures them -- he needs PROOF.  You can't just implicate someone and expect to succeed.  They have to be caught "RED HANDED"  :p

Villain is usually arrogant enough to believe they've gotten away with it, tricked everyone -- that they're smarter than others, which is precisely when they'll make mistakes -- RED JOHN is NO DIFFERENT, just a villain requiring a lot longer time in terms of obtaining real proof.

Just when you think you're only watching the usual weekly crime solving shenanigans of Patrick Jane [having nothing to do with you know who]...

Suddenly, yup, there is it...another subtle reminder about RJ's real identity "hiding in plain sight"

A WOMAN COMMITTING CRIMES, BUT ALSO USING MEN TO HELP HER COMMIT THEM

[and a repeat of theme of water/marina/boat seen in previous episodes]
