THE THEORIES

The early screening of Mentalist (4pm Pacific time) was not on today (likely due to the football game). The earliest next screening I know of is at 7pm Pacific time (in 40 min). It should be available about an hour after that when someone uploads it. Unfortunately this is 10pm eastern time and you can probably just watch it then.

If you can't see it then, try http://putlockertvshows.me/watch/the-mentalist/ shortly after 8pm Pacific (about 1hr 40min from now).

I read these on IMDB and I approve of this messages:

"..Patrick Jane is responsible for the death of Ray Haffner and Brett Stiles. 

He brought four people, none of whom he knew for certain were guilty of anything, in the vicinity of a serial killer, knowing fully well that the situation could potentially get explosive

Yeah, he didn't detonate the bomb. But he might as well have. Little did Ray Haffner know what fate had in store for him at Jane's house. He probably had plans for the day. Maybe he was going to spend some time with, I don't know, his wife and daughter? As for Stiles, some of you might argue he wasn't a saint, but really, what did he really do that made him deserving of being blown to smithereens? I don't remember anything, except that he swindled a lot of people. 

So yeah, I hold him responsible for the death of two innocent people. Thoughts?"

I'm glad you brought this up. I thought I was the only one who hated Jane for doing that. 

If I have to be brutally honest, I'll be and say this - Jane is a disgusting human being. He's a hypocrite, a selfish man with no respect for anyone who breaks his own set of rules and morals, and he never ever considers anyone better than him. He was even worse before RJ killed his family, because he was a thief, and he preyed on poor, broken widows and people who lost their loved ones. I don't care if that was all his jerk father's fault, he made his own choices. 

I can't even imagine that kind of person finding a person to fully love, especially such a pure, beautiful person like his wife. He's an egotistical jerk with delusions of grandeur no less than RJ. 

So, we have this truly evil person (RJ) who has no redemptive qualities, and he did deserve to die BUT Jane was not the one to talk. At this point, jane disgusts me even more. 

And what pisses me off even more, is that the writers never acknowledge how bad Jane truly is. Sure, they portrait him like a not-so-good guy, but they still seem to justify everything he does because he has the right to. 

No, Jane, you're not the only one whose families and loved ones got killed by RJ and you're not the only one with the right to kill him, but you still thought so. So, F you, you selfish prick!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Stiles and Haffner] aren't the only people he has gotten killed in his pursuit for vengeance. The list is very long. Frankly, he doesn't seem to even care.

Don't get me wrong. I love Patrick Jane, but we the viewers are so sympathetic to his cause that we have disregarded the lives that he has indirectly taken.

Here is what disappoints me...I really don't care who was Red John, etc. I cared about Jane and the team. I remember watching the show for the first time. My wife and I didn't care about Red John. In fact it got kind of old. What we loved from Day 1 was Jane harassing some rich people or getting in someones head and dismissing them. It was comedy. It was drama. It was Jane just cleverly sticking it to people. So when people say "Well what do they do now?" My first answer was "go back to the formula that got the best ratings." The issue I have now is they took away the fun and now seem to be heading into this dark side of Jane and what will happen to the team. The best part of the show was Cho being serious/funny with one lines. Rigsby being a dufus. Jane playing people with a smirk. I'm afraid they'll just dismiss it.

before tonight's episode i would like to make a last guess about RJ's identity,
in the "fake" jane saide Whatever the truth look like the opposite must be true.
i've been thinking about father peter dibuono from the red barn episode;
his last chat with PJ is suspicious.
we saw the real episode there was no fake,, but i think that one more time jane didn't the real one.
goodnight and see u tomorrow RJ.
