So Strawberries and Cream part 1 was on TNT last night.  I hadn't realized it at the time but in hindsight it is very clear that either LaRoche or CBI Karl gave the bomber/gas station attendant keys to free himself from the cuffs when he was put into the cop car....most likely LaRoche from the looks of it.  His escape attempt then allowed LaRoche to kill him with impunity.  

Why does this matter?  It ties into the theory that the Ardilles/LaRoche murders were about tying up BA loose ends rather than some Hiabach revenge plot. 

Also, if I'm being cynical - and why not? - the episode includes another instance of Jane using a supposed profession of love to Lisbon to misdirect a bad guy.  (As he would later do when he fake kills her at the end of season 4.)  If history is repeating himself, perhaps the plane scene isn't as lame as it seems. 

My optimism knows no bounds...

I think the best ending would be if Patrick Jane himself would be Red John. His other personality (which is RJ) purposely gives him hints for people that could be Red John so Patrick Jane goes and kills them (Sheriff, Timothy). Slowly Patrick Jane will become a serial Killer and will someday discover his true self and his other personality. He realizes that he is a danger for Lisbon and his friends and decides to kill himself to find true peace.

My last hope...
The last hope for a great season 7 is that they already covered everything.
The series finale has to be crazy and suspenseful and if they already had Jane and Lisbon get together what else could be so crazy?
Now it could be them getting married but shit i hope not. Or cho but i doubt thats enough for a series finale .

Bruno Heller has just confirmed there's gonna be a mini-series call "Red John chronicles". Hopefully they'll explain the details there.

I've been trying to make sense of everything that's happened thus far.

It seems when the show just started, Bruno Hellar was very into mentalism and was attempting to weave a super comoplicated, but clever story.  At the end of the Red John storyline, it seems like he got tired of the story and just took a shortcut to get to the finish line.


I never got into the "multiple Red John" theories because I thought they were just too fantastic.  However, the more thought that goes into it, the more sense it makes.


So, how about this?


There has only been one Red John.  He died at Patricks hands just like Episode 6-8 shows.  However, there is a very intelligent (but terribly sick) person who has been playing Red John and Patrick against each other.  Neither Red John or Patrick knew he/she exists.  Patrick discovers this at the begiining of Season 7 and spends the rest of the season tracking him down and in the process explains all of the loose ends.  Thus, Bruno Hellar's reputaion as a brillant story teller.is redeemed.

 
Perhaps this is lame, but do any of you have any better ideas?

QUESTION

In your opinion:

Which is the reason a lot of TV shows have crappy endings?
(ex. "LOST" , "Dexter" , "The Sopranos" , "How I Met your Mother" and so on)

P.S. 1:  You can add or disagree with some of my choices of course.
P.S. 2:
I didn't include "The Mentalist" because I don't know, we have a whole season ahead; things can happen.
