One thing that's clear from this site is that there are MANY other mentalist fans like myself that were dissatisfied with the Red John episode and changes to the series.

I also learned, fro. viewing other sites and forums that there are MANY fans praising Heller for the ending and changing the show and even trying to push a jane/lisbon love story. That is terrible. And it also means that our voices are not being heard and for all he knows, the fans are happy with how everything is.

There seem to be a lot of people on this site that have a lot of free time to post constantly, like Stoopkid, no offense. So, why doesn't someone create some form of online petition for us to all electronically sign and request answers and NO love story for jane and lisbon?

just an idea..

Red john guesses janes list or so we think he did.
He tells jane he is going to start killing again frequently .
So what does jane do? He tells lisbon EVERYTHING !!!
Jane the guy who knows that red john kills anyone who has any info about him tells Lisbon about the list...
No way in HELL jane would put Lisbon in harms way. The question is , jane knowing lisbon would track the suspects, what was he up too? How did he know Lisbon would be spared ?

Why would RJ give the list to Jane and ONE day after kill desperately Partridge and think about faking his death? What did change from one day to another?

I love Benedict Cumberbatch!! I never thought I will have a different favourite TV detective other than Patrick Jane, but unfortunately I do now..:(

PS; I'm glad people here are starting to realize that you can talk about other things besides Stoopkid's weird theories..:)

Like many of you, I'm also very sad and disappointed how it ended. Not just the RJ finale, but all the first 8 episodes were poorly written (at least for me). Like for example, when we learned RJ has some phobia and is a good whistler, then suddenly all the 7 suspects start to whistle and develop phobias that we never heard of from last 5 seasons. That was just incredibly dull and inconsistent. Not to mention they didn't even try to explain how on earth did RJ know 7 suspects before PJ. That came as a huge shocker, even a casual viewer would at least expect an answer to that, it's such a shame. And those 7 suspects came from nowhere, right? I felt like they were more of a product from Heller's head than Jane's which is terrible. First they put someone like Smith and didn't include some of the characters who have made a lot more impact than him (Mashburn, Ardiles, Mars...), and second they completely ignored Rosalind and Red Barn episode because some of the suspects really don't match to what we learned. If anything, they could at least explain why they didn't follow Rosalind's description. And top of all, Kira Tinsley. Omg that was probably the worst thing. Someone who has been breaking the CBI network through all these years falls to a random character and her failed attempt to bug CBI office. How did she even see the tattoo, how did she know about it? Anomaly. And finally, the RJ episode, it wasn't impressive at all. Someone would expect he wouldn't die 10 minutes after we learned who he is. I expected far more. And i forgot to mention, to reduce the 7 suspects to 1, they just killed every other, haha, terrible.

I give only 1 % chance real RJ is still alive. Only way to even try to explain this  horrible mess is it was maybe orchestrated by real RJ, to deceive everyone. But, i will not hope on that, don't wanna be disappointed twice.

If anything will pop out, probably it's gonna be some close RJ friend. From CBI maybe? Like Ron or a wild card Cho (unlike Grace and Rigsby, he is the only one undeveloped) or someone else, doesn't matter. Then we might learn how at least RJ knew 7 names.

This site has officially become Stoop kid's attention seeking outlet................... dude, Van pelt and Rigsby are not fucking criminals. Hell we don't know if RJ is even alive................. highest possible scenario (very unprobable) is RJ accomplice at best.
