THE THEORIES

For all the Patridge fans out there this is for you

Now  we can officially confirm that all the Mentalist producers ,Jimmy Gradd (Lead Editor of Mentalist),Bruno Heller are complete Liars and as of now we cannot and we shall not believe anything they say because we thought we could rule out patridge as suspect because Bruno himself  said that Patridge is for sure Dead but now looking at the statement given by Jimmy Gadd...the Lead Editor of the Mentalist saying that he is sorry that Mentalist episode was leaked and CBS site was hacked(Really you want me to believe that CBS site was hacked and The video was uploaded just the day before of Mentalist airing 'RED JOHN' )and if what he is saying is true then you know what  i am Robert fu**king Downey Jr 

And if any have closely watched the Happy Cool Guy video on youtube on the "REDJOHN" episode  reaction video we could find that when red john was revealed he probably was uttering the word Brett Patridge in excitement(Atleast  i felt like he was saying the words Brett Patridge and many people who have seen the video had the same opinion)

 Finally for all those people who were saying that Brett patridge  is Dead because bruno himself confirmed it ....well look at what the editors and everyone of Mentalist have been doing Today ..they are Lying to ur face that Leaked Video is a Real One (which ofcourse everyone knows that its not real)
  
Good luck everyone .......

Watched the "leaked" episode and like most others, I was fairly disappointed. Read posts by other people who enjoyed and/or believed that the "leaked" episode was in fact real and I respect their opinions, furthermore, a lot of the stuff they're saying makes sense.

However, I'm still uncertain that certain segments of the episode itself are real. A couple of things that got me thinking:

1) The segment of the episode before the reveal seemed generic. It came off to me as a template to apply for any sort of ending that BH chose. Bertram had no clue who RJ was and furthermore he had no dialogue with and no direct involvement in the whole PJ & RJ scene. 

2) The McAllister segment of the episode seemed 'bloated'. The chase scene was unnecessary and felt like it was dragged out, in the end, we all knew that PJ would catch up to and kill RJ so it did not have to go as long as it did. As regards to the woman with the knife, what was the point of hiring an extra for one scene that had no direct effect on the story whatsoever besides showing her escape (and revealing a direct connection to RJ), as to set the scene for a plot later along the line. However, I thought the whole RJ storyline was supposed to end here in preparation for a complete and fresh reboot.

If this was in fact the real episode as far as the McAllister scenes go, I can see the addition of a few flashbacks when PJ is explaining how RJ escaped from the blast perhaps 'enriching' the episode a bit more as well as the inclusion of tense classic Mentalist themed music.

Above is my personal opinion. Agree or disagree with it, don't mind either way. Also don't mind for a more detailed discussion in the comments section. 

Yes, I really do hope that the final version of the episode is different (McAllister scene-wise, don't mind if he is RJ but there's quite a bit that needs to be brushed up) as I genuinely don't believe that this even touches BH potential. This may be part of a larger plot in a move that will make TV history (one can hope).

Anyway, I will be awaiting Sunday night's episode and will continue watching throughout, hopefully I'm right :)

If the Sheriff's Red John, why put Brett Partridge in the IMDb cast list earlier for this episode?!

Hiii does anybody knows what do pigeons mean?? I think its a clue, but no what about? And i think im a little dissapointed because if RJ reveals, its because he calls PJ, not because PJ found him :(..!! What do you think? I think PJ is too smart for know who RJ is before RJ stops the game and  reveal his identity

I DID SEE THE LEAKED EPISODE, BUT HERE IS WHY I THINK IT IS FAKE. SPOILERS BELOW
First, this episode was so drastically out of order it is not even funny. If we think for one second here, CBS has been messing with us for some time; delaying that episode for no reason, etc. Also, do we really think the promo would legitimately show who Red John is? It CLEARLY shows McCallister as he breaks through the window, and also as he enters into the church. This would be the most foolish thing to do, because CBS and Heller know that people will easily slow down the footage or examine it (IT was broadcast over television for crying out loud) Also, the cheesy Pigeon scene? You really think after all these years Red John's demise comes from a bird that ate bread crumbs off his hand? I think the funny pigeon hints during the beginning of the season were anticipating this fake reveal. Also, after John gets shot, he is shown just looking at the bird, almost like something you'd find in a savor-the-moment comedy. I don't think for a second we should be savoring in that savior of a pigeon. Also, the camera spends the time to go back and zoom into the pigeon on the statue??? You really believe that crap for one second? Finally, I looked back at the promo, and after Red John Does the voice, and before he is shot, there is something interesting. Now I cant remember for sure, but I think that after Patrick threw the pigeon at Thomas he had to go back and get his gun under the seat, during which Red John moved back a bit more. Jane is shown in the leak getting it then shooting him, stumbling an kicking the gun, and shooting Oscar ( who acts very horribly after getting shot). In the promo Patrick has his gun almost directly after what looks like he threw the pigeon. It is not consistent with the leak, and is slightly different, meaning I hope that there will be a much better episode!!

To all of you Partridge Fans,

The truth about the "leaked" episode is that Partridge aka Red John had his red headed sister, Grace Van Pelt, use her massive computer skills to upload a bogus episode, and hide it in the source code for the CBS press release video site, just to mess with the minds of the non-believers.  Obviously his plan has worked!  Haven't read a post yet from someone who has seen the leaked episode who hasn't been somewhat disappointed.  Additionally, Red John had help from Bruno Heller in creating the leaked episode.  The Mentalist fans aren't the only ones tired of their show being preempted by sports.  Heller et al have given us five plus great years of The Mentalist and how aggravating it must be for all those involved from writing, directing, producing and acting in one of the best television shows ever aired to be treated like "The Red Headed Step-child" by CBS.  Ever since the night CBS decided not to air the scheduled episode to the entire viewing areas and instead caused havoc for the fans,  suspect that felt like the final straw, too, to those involed from A to Z in creating The Mentalist.  If Sunday's "Red John" episode does turn out to be the same as the "leaked" episode then you will know that even Red John knew he was being underappreciated by CBS and did not make his proper appearance and proper goodbyes.  However, once The Mentalist is picked up by a new network that will revere it and give it the prime time viewing slot it deserves, then he will reappear and we will see Brett Partridge reemerge as Red John and before Patrick Jane has his way with him, we will all get the attention and answers to the great theories and questions that the loyal fans of The Mentalist have posted on this great site!

One last note on the behalf of all fans of all the suspects, "Thank You" to site owner / operator / admin Jeremy for creating a fun site that obviously took a great deal of your time and energy to create and you did so with minimum advertising!  As a web designer myself, I greatly appreciate the lost revenues you could have made with advertising overkill and basically you made this a not for profit site.  If you would like to put a PayPal donation link on your feedback page, would like to make a small donation to you and am in hopes many of the fans of this site would, too!  Kudos and again many thanks to Jeremy!

PS Any of you who are contrary enough to disagree that Webmaster Jeremy doesn't deserve A Green Plausible sign of Thanks, go ahead and press Red and take a flying jump into a "Red" lake where Red John is waiting for you! :)
