I know the first thing I'll be looking for in S7x1 is pj's ring finger.if he's still wearing it, then he's not convinced that his revenge is fulfilled.
Stiles said to his cult that he was leaving for a while and he would return. How's a 3 year vacation sound......
Jane: "Can I show you something?"
RJ:"Yes please, I love gifts and I have no reason to doubt you. It has been only 11 years that you have wanted to kill me"
..I have defended this show for 6 years. I cannot do it anymore.
Welp, I admire the faithful who think something will eventually make sense on this show, BUT I also understand those who think that The Mentalist is never going back to RJ, it's done. We've been told the latter, yet we've also been teased about the former.
Regardless of which category you're in [for me, it's somewhere in the middle], I think everyone can agree that almost nothing logical happened in Season 6 [or last half of Season 5 while we're at it]. We had:
DIALOGUE SO CONFUSING: it's been like trying to decode a secret language where the cipher is another secret language [in pig latin]
PLOT HOLES SO GAPING: the finale should have been called "The Black Hole" [which is a "star" that has died and yielded to the laws of gravity]
CHARACTERS SO FOREIGN: to their original form [and without an authentic arc], the only explanation is that an ALIEN came down and infected everyone -- I vote for Erica Flynn as the alien [she did kiss Jane, and far better than Lisbon]
AND, also worth MENTIONING…..the complete, total and utter…
GENRE CONFUSION: Yes folks, The Mentalist has IT ALL....turns out it's a Romantic Procedural Crime Dramedy full of Blood, Slapstick and Farce, with a few carnival people thrown in -- also particularly good if you're nursing a predilection for pigeonomania and/or the Second Coming. Seems like all that's missing from this show is a creepy banjo player. ****
BUT COME SEPTEMBER....
Will Jibson's love survive? Or will Patrick Jane fly into outer space in his secret RV spaceship [when it is revealed that Red John is living on the planet Mongo!]
WE MUST ALL TUNE IN to find out!!!
**** This website is proving far more entertaining than the show it was created for.
How I wish this scene turn out to be the climax of the two amazing arcs of The Mentalist: THE RED JOHN ARC & THE JISBON ARC--( of course, I wanna end it without the corny stuff)
After all the EXPLANATIONS, after FILLING all the PLOT HOLES-- etc,etc,-- which is a whole bunch of mess for us,
....and after WRAPPING UP all the Visualize craziness, Lorelie stuff and other character's mystery deaths:
Red John (whoever character they revealed to us, but I wish it's Haffner), abducted Teresa Lisbon,took her with all easyness. After all, she is the only thing that's left to fulfill.
Crystal-clearly, Lisbon is seeing Red John as Patrick Jane, hugging him so tightly.
Jane struggle making his way to the Red Visualize Farm. Red John had took her. He's not gonna take it, living without her. He will save her, and will kill Red John.
And surely they were both ready for their final showdown.
Lisbon feels safe as long as Jane (but Red JOhn for real) is on her side. RJ (Patrick Jane for real), go out for a while and she's very sure he is coming back to kill them two.
Jane finally arrive at the barn, and he sees Lisbon holding RJ's hand. Lisbon's so shocked to see him, as shocked as him (Jane really thought Lisbon took the evil's side)
*note: Lisbon sees the real Jane as Red John, and the real Red John as Jane.
Jane: Lisbon..
Lisbon: Ray, stop it!
Jane:No, I'm not Haffner! I'm Jane, Lisbon.
RJ (pretending to be Jane): You son of a bitch!Stop hypotizing Teresa!
Jane: I AM Jane! Lisbon, I knew it, Red John has hypnotized you. You're seeing me as RJ and him as me!
Lisbon: Well it's funny! That's exactly what he- (points Red John) -Jane had warned me about how you're going to make me believe you're the REAL Jane!
Jane: Oh come on! Teresa you know me.(narrates all their happy times together)
Lisbon: How did.. you know all that? I'm confused with you two. Look, I'm sure you have a lot of resources and that you're an expert in surveillance. That's the reason why..
RJ: Lisbon, I AM Jane, and I'll make you believe me. (narrates how they first met, their funny moments at the CBI, etc)
Jane (the real one) was so silent that time.He felt nothing but hopelessness. He feels so aggravated and weak. And at last, he was now angry.That's the last thing that he felt (despite the situation).And there's the need to attack.
Jane and Red John fight and fight and fight ( just like bunch of teenagers on a fist-fight).To make the story short, RJ was letting Jane take the upper hand & that make Lisbon angry as she thought the real Jane was losing the fight.
Lisbon grab the gun on the floor which is left by Jane(that she's seeing as Red John), and directly points it at Jane.
Jane: Lisbon!

I had a dream last night that I was watching a new Mentlaist episode. There was a time jump. Robin Tunney had unceremoniously been replaced by Alexis Biedel. ::shudders:: She and Jane were travelling around the country in the air stream fighting crime.
The new baddie was played by Steve Carrell.
It was a nightmare, though not entirely unentertaining.
So I guess my subconscious accuses Steve Carrell of being Red John.
Jane did put explosives in his house... Did you see Rigsby's map of people when the second bomb exploded? Did you see the way Jane looks at the RJ smiley face and walks across his house with an air of finality? And I think Jane had recently come off a case where he helped a drone company, so he could have called in a favour for military-grade bombs.
At the start of that episode, Red John sends a note to Bret Stiles saying "He's looking for you," the 'n's are notably the same as the murder note at Sophie Miller's house. Bret Stiles had been missing since the list of suspects tape was released. I don't think there's a coincidence. Red John asked Bret Stiles to disappear, using the FBI cold case as an excuse.
When Jane gets the information about the 'three-dots,' he says he has *leverage*. That is not a word to say you've got a defining clue. It means, he knew the three-dots would not be enough to find Red John. Jane was after something else. Jane finally had an excuse to draw out Stiles.
If Red John was Brett Partridge, Stiles' knowledge is the best chance for Jane to find Partridge. But Stiles wasn't going to just give up his whereabouts. Stiles said, "I shall return!"
Then there's a missing episode, where Jane should have captured and killed Partridge and we got the answers to the mystery. But in place of this episode, was a silly episode, which bordered on playful at times, but mainly silly.
Then, 2 years later, some guy called Roger is at the beach... he speaks English. "He's not a great talker," Jane said. Stiles said he'd return... was this his return? He looks a broken man. Did Jane break him? Did Stiles give up Red John? Since season 6 resumed, we find out Red John is dead. But Red John may not have been McAllister, as we hear that Jane never specifically admitted to killing McAllister by the testimony at Jane's fake trial. And Jane also says at one point, he's killed the man who killed his wife and kids. There's a lot of tip-toeing around the exactitude of the situtation.
In conclusion, episode 8 just doesn't fit with the story before or the story after and could easily be re-done. An alternate ending wouldn't actually hurt in this instance as it would be easy to fit in a Partridge ending, because it would fit in so seamlessly.
Did jane set the bomb himself?
Never thought this until i noticed he turned the heat up in his house.
Why would he do this? Comfort? Its La!
Jane is very good at explosives as is Red John
