Look, I believe it wouldnt have been too difficult to give the fans a good Red John reveal episode. What I would have written goes something like this.
Lets say the same opening scenes of the crappy episode, then at the church after Jane meets with Bertram, enters Red John dressed with the same outfit on season 2 finale (remember he has a strong sense of theatre) the whole time using the creepy voice (dubbed under the mask).
He then kills bertram with his knife while Cordero points at patrick and makes him see how he kills, how he "operates", then its Janes turn, he makes him lie in the church altar and before he is going to cut him, he removes his mask, revealing that he is Mcallister or whoever the fuck (doesnt matter at this point), then the dialogue goes on and patrick pulls the pidgeon stunt shoots him and shoots Cordero entering again like the original episode shows.
But then get this, after Jane shoots Mcallister, he drags him out of the church and follows him as Mcallister breaks out of character and Jane slowly directs him to his wife and doughters graves while telling Mcallister all along that he will turn him in to the cops, thus lying. Then and only then, Jane strangles him in front of the graves of his wife and daughter.
So really something along those lines, why not? It was so boring, come on, these people get paid to write this. Why not do something memorable?
I care to read your opinions or alternatives. Please care to reply. Cheers.
