There is a good reason why a lot of people think this was all a dream after episode 8.
It really seems like a false reality. Everything was rushed and patches together last second.
Nobody brought up red john hardly, the Ba a little, Visualize at all, and the cbi hitlist was never explained.

I think season 7 is where reality catches up to everyone. Jane is at an all time high and i glad the jisbon stuff has come and gone already. The only way for Jane to go is down.
Has everyone seem Dexter? I look at Jane and Lisbon as Dexter and Deb his sister who has incestuous thoughts about him. Which fits perfect cuz Jane and Lisbon are like bro and sis.
Dexter's lies and games finally caught up to him.
Who knows what Jane has manipulated. The guy is crazy and always gets what he wants.
He could have made the cbi hit-list and made everyone think it was haibach. Haibah only kidnapped Gvp no way he stabbed Ardilles like that.
My point is we really don't know where reality starts and illusion begins.
Jane crying after killing Macalister was weird to me only bc Jane was happy when he Killed Carter right?

Season 7 will be bloody. I sure hope it is too.
There is nothing else for the show to do then to revisit the past and what better time to do it then the encore season.
I bet you Heller and the team knew for a while they would get a season 7.
It was up in the air for us fans but i am sure Heller and cbs had it planned out.
With that being said why shoot your load too early? Save it for the true finale .
Season 7 will cover the plot holes. Styles and Haffner will be back. That tweet was not just a joke its all publicity.
And if Haffner is alive you know he has a few skeletons in his closet. And if he finds out his crush is with Jane he is gonna be pissed!
No way Macalister set off a concussion bomb. Knocked himself out and was able to get up and carry all those bodies himself and make a clean getaway before Lisbon showed up.
In reality he woulda been knocked out as long as everyone else especially since they all woke up at THE SAME EXACT TIME. Weird.

Please don't start in-fighting bluebird. Being unified by a hatred isn't a bad thing. We all realise its a show, and express our opinions in a manner that does not hurt others. But being butthurt because someone doesn't like the same things you do shows a lack of regard for other people. Asking others to withhold negativity helps nothing.

While you may have had a very superficial relationship with the show, many people here have shared a visceral attachment since season 1, primarily to the Red John storyline.When so many people were/are disgusted by the way it ended, you cannot tell people to "get over it." The very essence of the show has been taken away this season. It's like the Mentalist was already cancelled. 

While it can be claimed, getting over it shows a mark of character and loyalty, it is in complaining in which we truly express how much we once enjoyed the show. We still like some parts of every episode! Some parts we hate! But we watch in hope, we watch with patience, because we're loyal to the legacy of the brilliant seasons 1-5.

For us, if any single episode next season has 'Red' in the title, it will be a good season.

I've been reading this site since the end of the 5th season but this will be the first time I make a comment. Mentalist was my favourite show in many aspects and I still love re-watching some of the good old scenes but what Mentalist means to me now is; Epic fail. It was great because we wanted to catch the killer for vengeance! The main character had a family, loved them more than anything else and the killer took it from him. He swore vengeance and we were with him without question, because we could totally feel his anger and sadness etc. So there's a man who loves his wife (and child) so much that he is willing to hunt down their killer (what takes 10 years) and after then he just easily falls in love with his (probably only one) friend!!! C'mon! I know Heller wanted to show us what will happen after RJ dies but NO. Just NO! Patrick should have moved on of course, but not with another love! It's so fucked up..The only thing that made us symphatize with Patrick was that all what he did was for his LOVE. And for his FAMILY. Now they want us to let just forget that shit and now he is into Lisbon. Okay but then I don't give a fck about his 10-year agony. He could have moved on then without the drama. He shouldn't have killed RJ just a proper fuck from Lisbon and it all would have been okay. It's sad. The saddest part of the whole thing is; the story went to uber-happy. I loved the sadness in the show. It made Patrick's pain real. That was the reason I watched it. It was unique. Not every show needs to be a fucking happy end. And by happy i mean the happiness, not the part that he got his vengeance. They should have killed RJ then close the show. Even if there would be no explanations. (Like we have none now, too).
