Another thing that bothers me is that Bruno Heller wrote pretty much all the finales on the show and some of the best episodes on the show, Red Moon, Code Red etc So what happened here?For me the struggle became apparent in Season 5 finale "Red John's Rules", the episode was not season finale standard, the list also made no sense to me as I couldn't understand how some names made the list, it felt like they just ignored all the details they had gathered about Red John throughout the years e.g Reede Smith was never a viable suspect. When season 6 kicked off, I began to accept the list and even enjoyed the episodes as I thought the list would be justified but now I realize there was no thought to it just like this Red John episode.Strawberries & Cream was a delicious episode, even the plan on The Crimson Hat was a good plan compared to how the Real Red John was revealed this season.I believe the writers wrote themselves into a corner by NOT letting Timothy Carter stay as Red John

Oh yeah.  I'm a Brit and I work with livefromdubai who refused to post a SPOILER earlier. Let's just say that I was with him for the last twenty minutes of the episode, then backtracked to the comments on this site related to the spoiler episode. It differs. Like I said, you can't see shows like the Mentalist out in the real world here. They're considered immoral. But at the hotels here that host a lot of us Brits and Americans they usually show American TV. Think it's satellite fed. Anyway, here's to hoping my Brits and Americans alike enjoy the ending. I would guess that Australian and Japanese viewers saw it first and I'm real surprised they haven't spoiled it already. But then again, it looks like there are about 24 theories posted every hour on this site, too many to keep up with!

The Mentalist episode 6.8 "Red John" just aired here in Dubai. I am an American working here.

If you didn't know, the only way to see "good" TV here is at a hotel. Luckily I work a lot from the hotel lobby with wifi.

Tonight, the TV in the lobby showed The Mentalist.

Let's just say that either they filmed another episode for different parts of the world, or the "leaked" episode is indeed FAKE.

Won't spoil it for anyone by naming the real Red John, but I am certain that my fellow Americans will be pleased!

I am still saying the liked episode is not complete or is comepletly fake, we know this show for many things, great acting, allmost no mistakes in the story line, and first and for most turns and shocks and unespected twists:

The lIked Episode:

Acting: Oh! my god theres was so much BAD acting on this episode , just 2 examples, Bertram when he gest shot,  going EEEY!! i cant believe the asociation would kill me and dropping like a big fat sack of shit, McAllister runing afraid of PJ and asking for mercy like a P**Y

Mistakes: The freaking 140 LBS pigeon hidden in PJ pokett that Cordero missed when he searched him , wtf man are your hands dead your fingers frozen , if you missed the pigeon he could have a Bazzoka attached to his forhead and you wouldnt find it.

Twist Turns and all the good stuff: Just straight up , we all knew Bertram was a decoy, we were expecting the reveal, so Jane gets a call goes to a church, confronts Bertram, finds out he is not RJ and TATA RJ reveals him self and gets killed, where the fuck are the twist and turs, where is the OMFG i did not spected that??? 

If you look up in youtube.com  americ´s video from happy cool, you will see the dude making faces as if the episode had a few great and shoking moments, this episode if we wanna be kind, haves one 1 moment that your asshole became presurice, if you will, and thats when McAllister shows up, whrere is the other WOWWWWWWWWW FUCK ME WITH A DIAMOND DICK MOMENTS???


IF THIS AINT A FAKE EPISODE IS THE WORST ENDING FOR A SHOW EVER!!!

I´m not saying like other people that Heller should die or nothing like that, but he should have at list a really painfull shit every time he haves a bowel movement for at list the next 2 weeks!!!

Cheers Folks!

I noticed that the order of the suspects at the top of this site changes. The order of their pictures I mean.

And I'm also sad that they had it all going for them and this was the path they chose to reveal Red John. Even I think I had some better ideas, and I'm not the best plotter. I'm hoping the episode is missing some scenes because a lot of you guys are disappointed in it. We all want answers and apparently there's not gonna be too many tonight.
