Apparently CBS will cancel The Mentalist and Warner Bros. are shopping around for another network. They likely already have it for the seventh season.
That said, I sincerely hope Simon Baker gets to take over the show; maybe he also sees what an atrocity the "RJ = Mcallister" thing was, and he may actually listen to us. This is one of the most popular Mentalist sites on the internet, do you really think no one in production has visited whoisredjohn.com? This is my message to you, Simon Baker! Now that the show might be heading off to a new network, with new negotiations and new deals...FIX THE RED JOHN STORY ARC!
I've said this time and time again, but even though Xander Berkeley could have been perfect for Red John...His character WAS NOT. At the very least, with Xander's new look, they could have introduced someone new portrayed by him. It could have been engineered to make much more sense. But what is done is done. The only plausible suspects for Red John are and have always been: Brett Partridge, Ray Haffner, and Bret Stiles. They are the only individuals with the traits, SKILLS, and personality that overlap in some way with Red John. Thomas Mcallister IS NOT and DOES NOT. He makes no sense as Red John.
Honestly, we've stuck with this show far too long to just let it die like this. Someone start a petition or something.
