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
