THE THEORIES

Season 6, Episode 9: The way Jane kicks the child abusing, dog killing, drug trafficking loser low life of a human being right in the behind!!! You just knew after he saw that nice guy burying his dog Jane was in it to win it. Best moment of the entire series.

And the concieredge guy cheering him on as he leaves the island was the cherry on top!

Then there was Cho's little smile as Patrick goes into the FBI room. I was totally disappointed with the whole RJ episode but this butt kicking moment alone was total redemption for last week's disappointing "reveal"!

Now Heller, explain to us more about the RJ story line. There needs to be more if you're going to do any justice to the RJ plot which is basically the plot of the entire series.

P.S. who hates the black FBI guy!!! Such a snot.

Once upon a time there was this show, it wasnt like any other and it was just like a great long movie that will never end. It was about a psychic whos family was killed by a serial killer.....it sounded like a great plot to me. Some action, mystery, romance, comedy....everything so harmonious in one single show...in one show you had it all. You had 5 thrilling seasons.....you could collect clues, "argue" with friends about who that famous killer might be, stay up so damm late just to watch it when it comes out....and now?IM not sure if the show HAS A PLOT ANYMORE! Wheres that good old show?Why is it like this? This is NOT the true mentalist spirit!

.....the promo of the episode My blue heaven looked to me like the introduction to the SIMS games....sad! And the upcoming episode...i wont even comment!

 The series started with RJ, almost all the episodes had something red inside them AND SHOULD END WITH SOMETHING RED INSIDE THEM...RJ is not someone who never existed and we need answers.

People, i dont know about you...but im hoping something red will turn up somewhere, because the end of RJ we got is NOT the end we want. The only reason im still watching it is because i am having that little hope inside me that RJ is alive somewhere or that PJ had a brain concusion and is in the hospital......

With RJ it started and with RJ it should end. If the show continues to be this ridiculous as it is now im quitting watching...if i want ridiculous ill watch Friends or something....the only way they could ever make this right if it is to make it all PJs  dream or make PJ RJ....that would explain alot of things...finally!

I m sad by the fact that Heller didnt know who was RJ going to be from the start...i hope im not that naive so ill believe that...im not...seriously. This is a whole project, it has to have a beginning and ending idea because without that it is not a project...it is crap.

Also, Simon giving his voice to RJ....why? Again, only logical explanation would be that he is RJ  at the end. Fans have compared voices of people, made videos i saw on youtube... why? To be screwed at the end?

Mcallister being RJ...good idea BUT it is made so LAME and without proof that only the thinking of that is disappointing!

And now bye bye, till the next disappointing episode of The Sims....i mean Mentalist, sorry ;)

The Mentalist: A New Beginning???       More like The Beginning of the End     what's new left for Jane to do? how is Jane's story gonna end now? what's gonna be the big series finale??? who the fuck cares now???      what a breath of fresh air Jane is gonna solve murders of the week with the FBI instead of the CBI...ohhh how original  but it looks hilarious Jane's gonna drive Abbott crazy with his zany crime solving antics. . just like he did with Haffner . . .then what ?      fuckin mindblowing     the first 5 seasons were for nothing ......NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm half way in my 6/9 view.

I think we should change the series title, then I'll be fine with it. I could even watch it.

So this is a continuation from my theory which I published after episode 08.We can be quite sure that PJ will start helping the FBI now, and very soon the good old CBI team will be joining them. This does look like a "new start" for the series, but the question is how it is going to play out. As I see it, there are three possibilities more or less:1. R.J is dead and we get no- or very little explanation for how, what and who R.J was and what happened to the "tiger -tiger" group. The series continues more or less as we know it, but now the main theme could be "P.J's journey to salvation and a new life" ending with him and Lisbon getting together.2. R.J is dead but we will get some closure. We find out who R.J was and how he did all those incredible things and the full picture of the link between him and P.J. also we get some more information about the "tiger tiger" group. Then the series continues more or less as mentioned in the scenario above. 3. R.J is not dead... P.J starts to work for the FBI (with the old CBI team) and at some point, he will be facing this red smiling face again, and everything starts over again. The series continues for perhaps one more season and finally ends. (He could kill R.J or they will both die together as P.J's life does not stand to recover and both their destinies are somehow strangely tied together. For P.J to kill R.J he must also die himself he realizes. As I stated in my previous theory I have a gut feeling, that the 3. scenario will happened, but this is more of a hope from my side. R.J does not have to be B.P but I need real closure, something that I will drill in to my spine and put a smile on my face.I believe that P.J will once again stand in front of a door, which he does not dare to enter, because he knows what awaits him on the other side.. A message written to him, not in English, words or letters, but in the language of Red John, where the letters are the thick red blood from his victims and the words are written with fingers as red smiling face.. "Did you really think that you were smarter than me Patrick?" ;-)Pleas let me know what you think

I think there are 2 main types of fans.

1. Those who loved the serial killer storyline and although enjoyed the murder solving in each episode, their main interest was the background story. The suspense, the excitement that the person who killed PJ's family could be someone we know and like, when will he kill again, etc..

2. Those who never  cared that much about the RJ storyline and are just happy with the every day murder cases.

I think most people who come to this website are in group 1. 

I really don't know what to feel now that Bruno Heller f**ked us over. Are we supposed to settle and be forced into group 2? After 5 and a half years suddenly should we just accept that all there is in the future is lukewarm vanilla, no big mystery? 
It's a shock to the system..It's really like a brand new show now. I'm still hanging in there because of PJ, Lisbon and Cho but I don't know for how long..

PS; I'm not sure I want to see that bitch new woman on a weekly basis..
