THE THEORIES

Not a real theory, but i wanted to point out some curious paralells:

In 407 the obsessed blogger James Panzer turns out to be the San Joaquin Killer. There are obvious paralells between Jane and Panzer. The names alone: Ja.Pa. vs Pa.Ja. Now Jane used Haibach to lure out SJK. Haibach is a simple minded sexual perverted that doesn't have the brains for a supervillain. McAllister is quite simular in that aspect.

Listen to their conversation with Red John and the season 6 events in mind. I find it very spooky.

What is happening to us real fans since S06x8. Disappointed with episode 8 --------> cursing Heller------------> waiting for a new episode in hopes of RJ's return ---------> When there is no RJ,curse Heller again. If Heller does intend to show us RJ again he better make it quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heller should branch off:

"Patrick Jane goes to the White House"  
"Patrick Jane at the Pentagon"
"Patrick Jane takes Manhattan"
"Patrick Jane Meets Jessica Fletcher"

  
LOL

THE MENTALIST IS THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW RATINGS WISE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! NOT JUST AMERICA !!!
Stop all this cancelled talk its a great show not everyone hated last nights episode .

Jane is playing the longest and biggest con of his career. And to see him handle it so seamlessly and calmly is a great sight to see.

They are in their last season so they are messing with things for fun. Jane changed his shirt. He has two rule obsessed girlfriends in lisbon and fisher.
He got his couch back and is still a horrible communicator. Lol.

Ok if you go back and watch the old episodes you will realize that this show has always been predictable at times, always had silly dialogue and silly everything. Ive been watching a lot of old eps and the show hasn't changed much.

*The weird thing to me was when jane told his story to the girl. Somebody already said this but she says "wow now i know why u still wear the ring" which was counterintuitive because if jane told her the truth why would it make sense to keep his ring 2 years after he got revenge?

If you saw the big picture like me maybe you would appreciate whats going on in the show. I see janes plan slowly coming into fruition.
I was one of the first guys who said the list of 7 was a con and i got hell for saying it but now it seems very true .
Ask yourself honestly , do you FEEL that red john is over ?
Forget all the clues and evidence, nothing can be proven either way.
But what do you FEEL?
Feel me ?

In my mind there is a high probablilty the "He is mar" clue is a fake. Here is the reasoning:

Renfrew is supposed to have his infos about RJ trough Orville Tanner. In S01E11 Van Pelt alleges that they were cellmate 7 years ago. Now what time is seven years ago?


Jane
and Van Pelt meet for the first time in the pilot so any episode
including Van Pelt must be later than that. We also get a glimpse of Wagners patient calender for Alison
Price. It has entries for 08 so we are at least in that year. Even if we disregard the entry in the calender, there is another exact
point in time. In S01E10 when Jane picks up the call of sophie miller
the date reads 08/28/08.

Since it is Van Pelt reading the info about Tanner and Renfrew we can't be earlier than 2008, therefore the seven year reference can only mean 2001.

S01E23 delivers an other pretty accurate point in time. When Chow and Rigsby question the store owner who sold the elephant they mention Thanksgiving last year and that it lies 5 months in the past. The security tape is stamped 11/27/08, therfore S01E23 happens around April-May 2009.

At the end of the season finale Dumar asks Jane if he knows who Orville Tanner is. Jane replies that Orvilles was an accomplice of Red John who got caught and died in prison 10 years ago. Dumar confirms that.

It is 2009 so Orville died 1999 in prison. It is therefore impossible he could have shared a cell with Renfrew in 2001. It is further impossible in 2001 to share infos about a murder taking place 2003.

Some questions and other things.

In my mind, if the BA is still around (which it is), wouldn't they want to hunt down PJ? He did however tell the world about them and he killed RJ (I doubt sheriff is RJ).

How did RJ stay so strong for that long? How did he figure out about everything about PJ (ie. The memory, list,etc.)

Was LaRoche part of the BA? We know he had a big secret (the tongue), so he could possibly be part of it.
Other things:

Patrick makes up a FAKE LIST of agents part of the BA. Emphasis on the FAKJE LIST. This could mean he's made fake lists before -hint hint-

Where can the show really go on from here? You wouldn't end the main story mid season for no reason, something is going to happen, and it might happen next episode (Rigsby and Van Pelt are said to reveal something shocking next episode. Possibly RJ killing someone? Hightower or even LaRoche?)

My guess is that next episode is going to be BIG, and the hunt for RJ will continue. I also believe the Jisbon story line will continue, but I'm not really a fan of it anways
