One does not simply make two different episodes! please guys cut the crap rj is McAllister and the real proof is the phobia, and i'm disappointed too from the way he cries eeeeuh don't kill me pleaaaaaaase lol
I think that whoever leaked this episode must go to jail.

Green = Totally agree
Red = You're not disappointed   

Okay I finally watched it. Thank god it was driving me crazy. 
First thing I will say that THAT IS THE RED JOHN EPISODE no fake the press have seen it. THe clues the spoilertv lady gave were correct and all added up with the  "your boyfriend" etc

Now onto talking about it. The sheriff was a good choice I must say. Great ACTOR poor material to work with. Poor Reveal. 
Mostly POOR VISUALS. Guys I know now why there was a huge fanbase of partridge for Red John fans. I mean look at the visuals of the first episode. Hell even look at the scene where Red John saved Patrick it gives me chills. NONE of this episode gave me much feeling at all to be honest except thinking god Bertram is a big OAF that won't shut up. 

They should have had more of a show to it. 
Even when patrick was crying I didn't feel much about it. It wasn't as good or heart wrenching in other scenes. I also felt more sorry for Red John.
The voice they should have dubbed it instead.
All in all I think that Partridge probably would have made a better Red John in the end. but then again it wasn't the red john it was everything else that let this episode down big time. This was the episode where there should have been loadsa of smart twists and turns throughout the whole thing with maybe numerous red john and just when we think we had our red john BOOM it turned out to be someone else. They had years to plan this. What the hell happened. Why was it such a let down. it should have been movie quality not boring. AND GOD NOT CHEESEY, some of it was actually cheesey. Heller pull up your socks for heavens sake

I think when Heller said that people will be disappointed because he is "Just a MAN" I think what I really meant was that HELLER is just a man. A man without a plan. He obviously didn't have one.


It's could have been great! Well my friends I think I will spent a week on here then it will time to say goodbye! Hope Heller knows this exists this page and sees how we reacted. I don't think his heart was in it when he finished the story. Maybe he wanted it over and done with. Maybe too many people complained about it dragging on but it was rushed I feel. Anyway I'm dragging on now. Great site here kudeos to the maker. There is a few bugs in it lately though. Please fix it if you can.

To all the people voicing disappointment about this episode - who is to say these unanswered questions won't be addressed in up-coming episodes?

I think it stayed true to Patrick Jane's character - why would he want to give this creepy serial killer the opportunity to show off and explain how he did things? Those questions are not important to Jane, all he wanted to do was catch and kill him. Which he did!

The show stayed true to Jane's character and aims. If anything, the fact Jane wasn't interested in knowing only strengthens the core of the show.

His organisation remains active so for the rest of the season there are plenty of chances to find out more - a whole legacy to explore.

So don't be disappointed, see how this continues to play out, lots more to come, I am sure!

this one is from promo: http://picturf.com/i/6Sf 
this one is from the link we have: http://picturf.com/i/6Sf
this might be a clue that we have a fake version that leaked on purpose to surprise us
(bertram isnt on the ground in promo scene)

 Ladies and Gentlemen;

Leaked episode was not fake, It was a bug which developers didn't notice. However, If you watched the episode, you had to consider that episode was not properly prepared as expected. Since, you watched episode before its air date. There will be rearrangments for sound,color and a lot of feature to be done.

So, If you didn't feel anything or you had a sense episode was weird, It probably was because of this reason. Sounds, visual techniques etc. have an important effect on human sense.

However, I don't like the idea which Red John is Mccallister, too. They didn't answer many questions. But think about it, think about Jane's side. Mccallister's (aka Red John) only deficiency was to be appreciated. He continuesly asked for Jane about questions that we were wondering. On the other hand, Jane ignored his requests. He simply said that he didn't care. If he followed the answers, he could be hurted and could be manipulated. And the most important thing was that he didn't want to give Red John what he wanted, to be appreciated.

He directly asked him: "Did you feel sorry for killing my wife and daughter?" Patrick made him sorry. 
He directly asked him: "Are you afraid of death?" Patrick confirmed he was afraid of death.

And happy ending. He executed his punishment in return for revenge.

The episode was not perfect but it was not also the worst episode. 

Why the hell did they make him appear in the promo when he is really Red John ?

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ???

thank YOU CBS

Are you seriously kidding me. We've been waiting six years for this moment, SIX years. For six years Bruno Heller portrayed Red John like a God, a psychic. Always seemed to be more intelligent than Jane, always one step ahead. Always taunting him and reminding him that he's always ahead. But when they come face to face he cries and whines like a pussy. Even calls 911. I mean.. Seriously? The Mentalist was by far my most favourite TV series of all time. But the big reveal was just a product of over hyped disappointment. We have to face reality guys, the leaked episode that we watched was a real one. We didn't watch a fake episode, it's just impossible. This goes down as one of the biggest TV disappointments of all time. But without a doubt I'm still a fan of the show and will continue watching it. There's no way in hell Bruno Heller will leave so many questions unanswered.
