Another one bites the dust!

After Sunday's episode of The Mentalist, Bob Kirkland (Kevin Corrigan) can be crossed off the list of Red John suspects, because we learn that he's been on his own vigilante mission to catch the serial killer.

Also because by the end of the episode, he's dead. "Originally, Kirkland was not going to die in this episode," Rebecca Cutter, who wrote "Red Listed," tells TVGuide.com. "I really pushed strongly that we should try and get rid of [him], narrow it down so the audience really knows we're getting there." And we are! As Jane (Simon Baker) says at the end of the episode: "The list is down to five names. That is a very manageable number. We're in the home stretch."

As you can cleary see, the writers are changing script and therefore the direction of the show.....I am not sure if I believe the list entirely....in a new twist they (Heller and gang) could have red john as someone who is not on the list  OR  perhaps a woman....who knows.....

At the same time, the list has become "manageable"....... and tiger tiger is an organization....

Bruno is trying too hard in my opinion.
