Random thoughts:
- All that episode did for me is confirm Bertram and Smith are the least likely of the 7 to be RJ.
- at this point I can't see any possible plot line for any of the 7 suspects being RJ that is even 10% as mind blowing as the Timothy Carter phone call in the cafe scene in 3x23...
Honestly, i'm so disappointed with the idea of Rj being any one of the 7 suspects that i'd accept just about anything else....I think I'd almost accept an ending that Timothy Carter really was RJ all along over Bertram, Mcallister, haffner or smith.
- I've swung from partridge to "not on the list at all" tonight,
The cliches that would attach to partridge being explained as RJ increased to a tipping point. I don't buy that cho wouldn't pick up on a body swap.
- I'll reserve final judgement (on the entire series The Mentalist) until next week. The shows plot lines and janes trickery normally have more layers than an onion and Red John plot lines have been solid until season 6. I hope it's been 7 episodes of misdirection with Jane knowing the real RJ the whole time... With subtle clues of RJs identity, not phobias and whistling.
Here's hoping for a big return to form and an ending worthy of the first 5 seasons of the show!
