For those who claim that Heller did a great job with this episode, hear me out:


PHOBIA by wiki: usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. In the event the phobia cannot be avoided entirely, the sufferer will endure the situation or object with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities.

In a broader sense, if you have a phobia for a specific object (like an animal) you can't bear being anywhere near it let alone drawing a clown face in someone's face in a ceremonial way by taking your time and talking to someone on the phone, plus changing your voice. You can't even be there in the first place. The ones who have a phobia for cockroaches for example; just imagine yourself surrounded by those black little creatures with their antennas vibrating and some even walking on you, yet you are doing something important which requires your full attention to detail. There are 2 red johns here. One is doing just fine with the presence of pigeons and the other one freaks the hell out when confronted with one only. if anyone tries to tell me that it was dark in that place and he couldn't tell if they were actually pigeons or ravens and maybe that's why he didn't freak out, I will kick his ass. This is a HUGE discrepancy for starters.

Secondly, you set up 2 bombings as one concussional and one lethal. Everyone knocks out but so called red John doesn't. Those naive audience who buy this shit can also dare to say "He is not superman after all" when it comes to Jane killing him and RJ acting like a bitch. Well, he can very well stay fine in an explosion after which physically much stronger dudes like Bertram and Smith can not. Plus, how do you imagine that RJ detonated the bombs? Just revealed them and turned a switch so that someone can see it and shout "No! Wait!"? Or he just pushed a button of some kinda remote unit in his hand and someone seeing it yelled like that? Option one, RJ would be the first to knock out even before he touches down. Option two, he would have equally vulnerable as the others who fainted. Some can say that he jumped to the far side while he was pushing the button so he was at a distance where he wouldn't be affected like the others. In that case, Jane would know who RJ was and wouldn't be surprised when he revealed himself in the church. Another discrepancy here.

Do you know what the whole episode reminded me? There are such dreams... There is actually an ordered flow of events in it, but since it's a dream, not everything makes total sense. Some small weird stuff happens to make you realize that it is a dream. All the other elements are just like the life itself but those little things, they just name it. Like a decent and dollish lady van Pelt (aside from her darker side) banging her head on the car's window, Rigsby and VanPelt arguing nonsense in the car afterwards, FBI parking, the way Bertram dies, Abbot persistently asking for a paper map, and a few more I forgot now. It's like Jane seeing a dream (including scenes from South America too, and the call he receives is actually Lisbon calling his name to wake him up) and will wake up in the hospital starting over again and we will see a much different episode

So, as much as I hope to have another ending, a shaking and shocking episode, a more complicated back-story and obviously much better processing, the evidence provided by interviews after the episode show the actual contrary. I'm done writing. I will go home and start watching Dexter and Lost again and will be thankful for their makers for at least not being this cheap. I will watch the episode with the polar bear twice by the way. He deserves it! Thanks to all for the great sharing here.
