LATEST THEORIES

Since TM is a soapbox for middle aged and older ladies, where cases are not relevant, and all they're aiming for is the so called Jisbon thing, it's fair to say to that segment of viewers that they will have a pyrrhic victory. RJ's demise took 8 episodes to be the piece of shite with holes and unresolved crap everywhere. I hope PJ & TL's moment will last some seconds of that episode and will be nothing but romantic bad written turd that is not even gonna make 'em wet. Screw 'em all too for ruining this show along with Heller and company.

I am going on vacation for a week and will miss the next two episodes !
Plus side when i get back i can watch two in a row and thats awesome.
While i am gone don't let the trolls f with this site.
This is the best mentalist site out there and the red john saga is still alive.
Even tho its a small chance there is still a chance.
And the fact the show waited until episode 20 to even mention Rjs name is a great sign for us.
Even if Rj is dead we will no doubt get an explanation and plot holes will be filled.
Shows even one like this always cover the plot holes or at least most of them.
Keep the faith...
Sincerely,
Stoop Kid

So the finale is called "Blue Bird Inn."  Pike actually pops the question to Lisbon and Jane will probably have 25 minutes out of a 43 minute episode to scramble and put forth a "master plan" to get her to stay.  Oh yeah, and there is a little cold case involved that will be dealt with somewhere along the lines. The squawking-virgin-estrogen-brigade will be writhing in ecstasy as we sit sadly passing the hour saying our farewells to a show that gave us no closure or answers to a multifaceted serial killer.  

As much as I love Jane and Lisbon there is this tiny antagonistic ...bitch... inside of me that wants Heller to basically screw the shippers too.   Wouldn't it be hysterical if at the last 2 minutes the dialog goes something like this:

Jane:  Lisbon, I've kept my feelings to myself for all these years but it's time to come clean.  I know I have been leading you on and playing games, lying to you and making you pay for my mistakes but I need to come clean and tell you that  all these years you have loved me are now making me see the light.  I love you.  Please stay. Marry me.

Lisbon:  I'm so glad you were able to get yourself to admit this.  You're right.  I have waited for what seems a lifetime for you.  I will admit that my feelings for you are still ten-fold but Pike has made me see what a life of normalcy is like and I need that.  He doesn't lie to me or run away from me when I need him most.  I may be able to trust YOU with my life but I trust HIM with my emotional well being.  Goodbye Jane.  I hope you find true happiness someday.

(Lisbon turns her back and walks off into the beach-y sunset as Janes' legs begin to give way beneath him.  At that moment Agent Fischer appears behind Jane and steadies his frame with a tender hand to his forearm)

Jane:  It wasn't supposed to end like this.

Agent Fischer:  Tell me about it.  You wait for years and years to get what you hope will be a happy ending or at least an answer to a long awaited question only to have the proverbial sand kicked in your face.  Come Jane, let me make you some of my tea.




Bwwwwwwhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!   Of course it won't happen nor do I wan't it to but I wouldn't put anything past Heller.

Red John could be lisbon. i found a clue in season 5 episode 24 (the crimson hat) at 22:10

when jane says to lisbon "i told you i can fool him" she says (you fooled me alright well done)  

i think she slipped.

Fan Fiction.
Abbott is done with jane. The deal is off the table and Jane will be tried for the murder of red john ep20

Jane encountered that Lorelie was in the fbi. That is why the fbi wanted her so bad and went to great lengths to attain her. And how they were aloud to steal her and show a replacement inmate in her place. That was never explained how they pulled that off.
Alexa Shultz is working for red john in the fbi.
Jane causes a shitstorm and abbot gets him arrested.
.....Lorelie was confident rj would get her out of jail. That means rj is fbi or Brett styles. Styles eventually did get her out of prison. Not many people have that kinda pull.
In watching old episodes its weird watching Bertram help Jane out with Rj stuff. It seems like Bertram really wanted Rj on a platter. A fish platter. Fischer platter haha
So we have Red John the ego maniac who paints the face and craves attention and we have a leader of a secret organization who doesn't want anybody to know who he is. Devoid of all ego. Plus it would be the first serial killer ever to create a law enforcement underground mafia as well as having visualize like brainwashed followers. How does a serial killer and lowly sheriff start owning governors and judges and law enforcement as a whole?
-red john alive or not there is a major hole in this saga. Rjs footprints seem to lead two completely opposite ways.
The male dominated BA vs the female brainwashed Rj followers.
Classic ying yang ish

Just a question for those who have been rabid fans (which I mean lovingly) since the get-go (as I have only been what I would call obsessive since the end of Season 5):  

The show seems to be playing pretty fast and loose with the spoilers this season.  Was it always this way?
