I think this is all part of Jane's master plan.  Red John knew Jane was making a list.  Red John wasn't trying to predict Jane's final 7 he was giving him 7 distractions knowing Jane would have to look at those 7    Jane just goes with his picks knowing RJ gave him those 7 names for a reason  7 possible clues    thinks that one of the 7 could possibly be another Timothy Carter  anything to get one step closer to Red John       tells Lisbon cause he knows she will tell the team but only the team so Jane can weed out the RJ mole(VanPelt/Rigsby) there's a reason why they aren't around after RJ's "death"     Jane knew McAllister wasn't Red John that's why he said he was disappointed and why he didn't care about McAllister's bullshit explanations   ( after the gutshot do you think McAllister acted like Red John or acted like someone who was made to play Red John? . . .just like Timothy Carter )                                      Jane had to kill McAllister to make Red John think that he bought that McAllister was Red John.    getting Red John to lower his guard      geting the corrupt CBI shut down  no more RJ mole's or BA spies   joins the FBI    getting all of their power and resources for when he goes after the real Red John           the season isn't over yet      

4 very weird facts about Patrick Jane.

When i started rewatching the show along with a friend of mine i was astonished how many details i had missed in the past, especially in the Pilot.

1. ) Double diary

The Tolliver case ends by Juniper shooting Morgan. The only thing supporting Janes claim that Mr. Tolliver killed his daughter is a diary. In the second case of Alison Price+ Gregory Tannen he uses a fake diary to trap Linus Wagner. Now if the first diary was a fake as well it could change everything. 

Jane fabricates the diary in a night session in a 24h diner while drinking coffee!
He finishes just after Rigsby and Van Pelt walk in the next morning.
It's a pretty thick book and it took time a lot of time to fill all those pages. That way to much work just for a simple gag, especially considering how lazy Patrick usually is. With that being said it seem not to far fetched to suspect he filled the thing with his thoughts and that it was more about his need to write stuff down than preparing a clever punchline. We get a few glimpses and the stuff written down is simply mad.
It's mathematical equation something resembling a double helix and the curved blade Red John uses. There is a full page with nothing but the sentence: "You know you did it." A part can be seen while in the diner an other part when Wagner looks at it.

2.) Long talk
The talk Jane has with Wagner seems short because it is interrupted by the flashback and the case developing. Before Jane is shown talking to Wagner we get to see the building with people walking in. Judging by the way the shadows fall it can't be to long after midday. Through the window of the room the two talk in we can see the trees outside. Before Wagner signs the prescription we see the building again. Night has fallen and people are walking out. So the two must have been talking for hours, but all we know is the "fake?" Johnny Cash storry.

3. Double Car

Jane is known for driving the iconic Citroën DS. The curious thing about that is that he has two versions of that car. Usually he is seen in a version with grey surrounding the two headlights and the license plate 258 PCE. But for example in S01E17 Carnelian Inc. he drives a different model with two seperate Headlights on each side and the license plate  536 DQN.

4. Double Red Smiley

This one i just noticed recently and i was realy stunned. In the flashback we see Jane walking up the stairs to find the letter taped to the door. When opens the door the we see the red smilie. The shot includes the Janes shoulder, the back of his head a fallen lamp and a vase on something like a low book case. The view is fairly straight through the door.  The very end of the episode there is a very simular scene. Jane enters the now empti house drops the mail at the same place and walks up the same stairs. When he is about to enter the camera cuts to his shoes walking on carpet diagonaly through the room to the mattress in the corner next to the window. He sits and the camera zooms in until he lies down. As it moves up the wall it shows a faded red smiley that looks identical to the first one we saw in the flashback.
However it is a different smiley because the location is not correct. In the flashback shot there is enough space on the right of it for at least 2 or 3 more in the second shot there isn't. Also he walks over diagonally and we can even make out a corner of that low book case in down left corner as he walks.

Jane could have an evil twin or a split personality         Stiles, Barlow and Alex Jane are all the same age    think about it 

Not a theory.

I just wanted to point to the fact that there are hidden clues in Green Thumb.

I am not sure what they mean but i wanted to share them.

The case is supposed to take place in New York, however i believe it actually happens in LA.

The flighttime between Austin and New York doesn't add up.

In the satellite map you can see the blue water tower on the roof of the Schneidermans building. When Abbot and Fischer go there to look for the body we get a look at it.

It has the logo of Meruelo Maddoxx Properties.

They were a real estate firm that owned comercial properties in downtown LA. They filed for bankruptcy March 26th 2009. The successor is EVOQ and went into business June 2011. It was said that the building was introduced as an abandoned storage building. That could be a clue that time line wise we are in this in between period.

From the window of Schneiderman's loft we can see the George Washington bridge on the left side from the top we see the Brooklyn Bridge also on the left side.

The Hot Dog Stand that Jane buys the hot dog from has California liscence plates.

The site's popularity is decreasing day by day.
I think it is in the position that the people who still post on this site are 20 maximum.

So, we can conclude that most of Mentalist fans have accepted what we watched and moved on.I suppose all of us will do the same someday.

I don't want to flame anyone anymore.I don't want to blame Stoopkid or whoever posts uncommon theories in this site.I don't wanna blame Bruno Heller nor Mentalist crew.I don't want to make fun of the fact that Sheriff is Red John and the way that he died.I don't want to watch the rest of the series either.

For me, Red John is still alive.And no, I don't care if the show will end without showing any kind of clues to us so we can assume that RJ is still alive.

It's the healthiest of all things to do.Make a theory that pleases you and answers your questions, (just try not to leave plot holes) and stick with it.Nobody will ever blame you.

I still hope for a twist to happen, but I'm not that optimistic for many reasons, it doesn't matter.It's just a shame, because "The Mentalist" was a truly different kind of TV show than any other.And now it's just a common Crime solving series with nothing special or innovating.
So much potential in this Show, with an appropriate ending would be one of the greatest TV shows ever.
That's my last post in this site, I just wanted to thank all of you for the amazing theories that carried me away, gave me hope, tough me some kind of lesson, amazed me.I will still be reading your theories with excitement.And I hope with all of my heart, that someday I will have the appetite to post again.

 

If The Mentalist had an opening like Burn Notice ;-

My name is Patrick Jane,I used to be a psychic until.  ( http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redjohn_5216.gif )

When you lose your family you've got nothing.No hope,no faith,no motivation. You're stuck in whatever situation you dumped yourself in.

You do whatever work comes your way. ( CBI )

You rely on anyone who will talk to you. A trigger happy boss (Lisbon),an old associate who used to inform on you to the FBI (Virgil) , Stiles too if you're desperate.

Bottom line when you're out for revenge,you're not going anywhere.
