Who is Red John?

Theories of Frederik (2)

I always watched The Mentalist because of the Red John storyline. Obviously this turned out to be a huge disappointment. Just like so many other shows, The Mentalist failed to tie loose ends. The Red Story line took 8 (!) episodes, but the final episode ended in a rush. Without answers being given. The pidgeon, the Latino, Van Pelt, Rigsby, ... it was so absurd.

I have more bad news, for those who prefered the Jisbon storyline over Red John... Check out the promo for next episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B9i6ZYwt48

It looks like there won't be given any more answers about the RJ saga either.

My interest in this show is gone, thanks for all the theories, I enjoyed them very much!

It seems that The Mentalist will be like most other shows: a lot of cliffhangers, teasing moments, possible clues... But in the end the writers do not manage to tie the loose ends. It's a shame, but we should have seen it coming.

As some of you already said:
Bradley Whitford should have been the real Red John (end of S3)
- McAllister is a great actor, but he just doesn't feel right as the RJ character
