Who is Red John?

Theories of EatmyassHeller (26)

Hmmm.

“He will face ramifications from killing Red John,” says Bruno Heller, who created the show, “and that impacts his ability to remain in law enforcement.”

In the larger picture, though, Heller says the show feels a sense of
liberation. Killing Red John “removes the darkness that was always
around the edge,” he says.

So a show that has always had a strong undercurrent of humor now may have more.

“We won’t dwell on Red John,” says Baker. “Jane will focus more on
questions like, ‘What do I have to live for? What do I do now?’ ”

Some fans have speculated that “The Mentalist” may end after this
season, so perhaps Heller and Baker wanted to finish the Red John arc
and give themselves half a season for an epilogue that obviously
interests them.

Heller doesn’t frame it like that.

“The way to truly surprise people,” he says, “is to do something before they think you’ll do it.”

. “The end of Red John is a moment the fans wanted to see, but for many different reasons,” Baker told TV Guide. “Some just want it to be over. They’re, like, ‘Enough, already! http://redjohnisdead.wordpress.com/2013/11/30/www-whoisredjohn-com/

"It’s always a difficult dance to balance those two things.  It got to a
point where some people were like, “We really love the show.  We really
love the Red John episodes, and then we love the stand-alone episodes
that don’t pertain to Red John, at all.  Is there a way that we can deal
with one completely, and then move forward from there?”  To be honest
with you, those decisions are not for me to make."

What Heller is really saying is that Red John was nothing more than a plot device that attracted some viewers that normally would not be in for the murder of the of week drama. In other words, the clues did not matter when when it came to RED JOHN and to lesser degree did not matter to the murder of the week drama. The true fan base is with Baker and the supporting cast and the witty nature of the show. Since Jane was trap and unable to develop during his pursiut of the Red John many fns lost interest with the murder of the week and the lesser fan base became obsessed with Red John. The solution was to reboot the show only keeping what was essential. Lisbon and Jane. We will make the rest of the shit up as we go assuming we still have a fan base after we fucked it all up.

Heller talks abut the Mentalist and how he ending came about. I suggest that the new "jump the Shark" is the Pigeon Bomb. Feel Free to ad comments letting Heller know how you feel. http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_mentalist/news/1001580/
