LATEST THEORIES

Only half way done this ep lol ........... this is fuckin painfull ..........nothing about this is The Mentalist....... Because I'm crazy I'm still holding out hope There is a long con or explanation for everything that is bigger than Red John........ Why?.......why do this at all ?.......The RJ Reveal, "New Beginning", Jisbon ........this whole Jisbon thing is fuckin ridiculous ....Lisbon is acting like a jealous teenager ..... The craziest thing is( just like McAllister as RJ) there were never any indication of romantic feelings no build up ... Not in all the multiple viewings of the first five seasons did I ever say to myself I wonder if they will ever get together or I hope they get together before the show ends ......................I myself would have ended the 6th season with the RJ Reveal and then the 13 ep Season 7 could be the hunt and capture/kill of RJ and in the last 10 minutes of the final ep show him go on a vacation around the world then come back show up on Lisbon's doorstep and give her a passionate kiss she pulls him inside door closes fade to black ........anything but this fuckin trainwreck ........why 13 episodes? What's the point? Is anyone really begging for 13 more New Beginning murder of the week episodes where the overarching storyline is Jisbon ? fuckin nuts ........... Fischer is gone, Abbott's nice , nobody mentions that Jane is forced to work for the FBI ... This is the New new beginning ..............but why only a 13 episode final season? There's gotta be a reason .... If there's no deeper truth why not do a full season? This new beginning could carry the show for a couple more seasons at least if they just wanna milk it for all it's worth................what if Jane only did all this Jisbon shit just to get her away from danger to stop her from going to D.C. with Pike ..........Pike was offering Lisbon a new life just like RJ was offering to Jane in the Season 4 finale..... Think bout it ...........P.S. CHO IS THE FUCKIN MAN --the only highlight in the show now ...........................................................final ep Jane busts himself to be Red John-- cut to Jane on a moped in a Jesus pose playing chicken with a transport truck being driven by Harker Rosalind ..

Ok in this episode Jane says Erika Flynn escaped from prison
ONE YEAR AGO!!!!
How is this possible? Wasnt Jane gone for two years?
And she did this back in season 5.
Is jane still in a coma?

Why did jane call Lisbon right after he had killed McAllister? Why was there focus on that?
I can bet my left nut that this is all a long con to take down the mastermind behind all of this. Someone who had a higher power than Red John.

Just saw EPISODE 4!!...SPOILERS!!!!

Another great episode.
This season is cool and really keeps me entertained.
People tend to forget the old murder of the week cases were pretty cut and dry typically about a vengeful husband lover or wife. With the fbi the cases are more colorful.
I miss my GVP and Rigsby but Abbot and Wiley are a good tradeoff.
Erika Flynn was...hot. I hope we see some more familiar faces like Stiles Freye and LORELIE!!!
First time we heard her name in years!
And by the way Jisbon is great. You are all afraid to admit it but Jane and Lisbons relationship is MUCH more interesting and entertaining now.
Season 1-6 "jane what are you hiding
"Nothing lisbon"
"I am mad at you and walking away"
That Lorelie and Mashburn line was GREAT!
Next week we have Abbotts family involved.
He is my man.
And once again i see NO WAY the show can build up a new bad guy in enough time to make a two hour series finale about.
No, the series finale must be about the past or someone returning from the dead. Cough Stiles, cough Lorelie.

To be frank I really have given up on this show - BH lost interest and tied the thing up in a crap-coloured ribbon. The end of the Red John story (and, indeed, Patrick's only real reason/motivation to work for the police) was truly awful.

The character development over the last season feels like it has been handled by a nine-year-old child. For example, how did Lisbon just become an FBI agent? Even Cho spent a year or two training.

But Lisbon was just handed a badge?

How does that work?

It doesn't matter: this is The Mentalist. Nothing makes sense and nothing means anything!

When they got away with the appalling McAllister business they clearly realised that the audience would swallow any old rubbish. And this attitude shows. The plots are repetitive, the dialogue is empty and they have replaced drama with melodrama - story-telling without a strong character-driven plot. Things just happen because they happen.

But somewhere in my jaded, disappointed brain there are a few remaining cells that believe the producers and writers are still just setting us up for the REAL Red John finale. Crazy, right?

And those few cells have been obsessing on the lack of physical contact, intimacy and warmth between Jane and Lisbon, the girl he forced his way onto a 'plane to woo (In reality you would be shot in an american airport, or be taken to a CIA torture room, if you did something like that).

"Supposing they are not really in love", my poor desperate brain cells cry out, "but they want to provoke the real RJ into showing himself, now that Jane has found happiness in a new love?"

So, could this remance be a charade?

Is it a trap of sorts?
