LATEST THEORIES

The Mentalist Season 7! I cant believe it was renewed. Do you think Red John will have some closure. Will we see how he kills ect. or will it just be about love. Here is what I think

I haven't ever posted on here, but I have been thinking about the season finale and I thought of a theory. What if Jane and Lisbon are putting on a show? They have done it before. Why else would Lisbon's freak out moment be so cheesy? Also, she was pushing Jane to say what he felt, but then she freaks out on him when he tries to do it in his own way? The whole love thing between them was cheesy so i'm wondering if Jane and Lisbon are just putting on a show for someone. Cho has been with them the whole time and he doesn't see the whole love thing but Abbott does. Cho knew about Grace and Rigsby when they were sneaking around. Maybe they're playing the FBI, I mean, who knows what Jane and Lisbon were talking about when they were writing letters.

Wha goes up must come down...

Jane is at an all time high. He killed his nemesis and got the girl of his DREAMS haha this could all be a dream.
This reminds me of Dexter. Dex always got what he wanted (mostly) and used people like toys just like Jane does. Pretty much everything Lisbon yelled at him for when he got caught lying in the finale.
Season 7 will be Jane slowly down-spiraling. Maybe he has a mental breakdown bc he is RJ or maybe it just all catches up to him. Dexters finale was the first time we saw Dexter as a bad guy or in the wrong. I think this will happen to Jane in season 7 and things will hopefully get dark again.

We all know the actor who plays Haffner said him n Styles will be back and although he kids, i believe him.
I see season 7 as the encore season where all the familiar faces will come back. Maybe Frye and Mashburn possibly or even Lorelie if she is still alive like the picture showed us.

Question: when Lorelie went to go kill Rj and got caught it seemed she was back into thinking he did not kill her sister again right? She seemed cool with him and happy with her fate. So who killed her sister? The BA of coarse.
I still think Lorelie gave Jane the list of 7 and that Jane never had a list but we will have to wait n see.

I think there were two Red Johns and nobody can tell me otherwise. The clues call for two completely different styles and reasons for murder.
When i saw the season finale i thought it was all over BUT thinking about season 7, i have an intuition "things will heat up". Haha

Although we all love the Red John story arc , the plot was going on for too long and we were being piled with tons of clues which were leading us to nowhere near guessing who Red John was. Before season 6 began, i was happy Red John was going to finally be revealed in the 6th year.............. and along with the reveal i pondered how Heller was going to piece all those clues in episode 8 alone. The Red John arc should have ended sooner before things got out of hand and with Heller repeatedly throwing random clues we were ultimately given no explanation.

Something very strange happened this season.
A different person got control of this show.
It seems that they were trying to get rid off the Red John arc asap.

Then they set up that artificial "jisbon" thing.
I'm not anti-jisbon, but I see that like a secondary thing, not the "grand finale".

I think hey did it to keep high ratings, they gave sh*t to he porks.

This season not only there were massive plot holes, but many mistakes.

Patrick saying that love to Lisbon while still using his wedding ring was sad.

Question: Why Red John recites the poem 'tiger tiger' Jane in Season Finale of season 2? What was he trying it? Reciting a poem with poetic existential background and risk of its arch enemy expose their network of corrupt cops?

Why Tod Johnson recited the poem to Jane before dying? Surely he thought Jane was a member of the Association and Blake would tell the secrets of the organization to him? Tod Johnson was a follower of Red John, but he knew if RJ recited the poem BA key for Jane?

My theory is that Red John was never part of the Blake Association, or maybe, but he wanted to break it. As part of Visualize did too, and ended up leaving.

Leaving addition, Red John can not be MacAllister (BA Creator), but someone who wanted to get him out of the way and at the same time bring down your entire system of corruption, of course, using Patrick Jane. (And he probably knows that.)

I didn't watch the episodes since the poor RJ revelation episode, but thanks to all your posts I have been kept up to speed. I would appreciate a 7th season told from RJ's points of view over a few episodes but without seeing him (revealing the meaning of ALL the clues throughout the seasons) and at the end of which we would find out that RJ is not who we think he is.. I would just love one more thrill, one more big thing like the first few seasons delivered.

Cheers to all
