hey guys i am new here and only started watching
as i skim through this site, i see all this commotion about some John fella... but i dont know why because they only just aired the pilot 2 days ago
but in all seriousness, how are they going to end season 6?
keeping in mind it either needs to provide significant closure on the entire show or leave us on a hanger in an attempt to get renewed for one last season
please share thoughts/fictions
i miss you roy tagliaferro x
Season 7, episode 15 "The Red Band" (the penultimate episode of the entire show)
After letting emotions run fly, Jane, finally back on his feet after the incident 2 years ago, can't hold it in anymore. He's more determined than ever to solve the case because he has to speak his mind. And after charmingly revealing the killer of the episode with his usual touch of wit (It turned out to be the deranged sister-in-law of the victim for monetary motives) He demands to speak with Teresa immediately.
It's late at night. Full moon.
They're in his attic upstairs. Alone.
Jane becomes nostalgic and brings up the best of times with her. Eventually he concludes he still has cares for his long-lost family but it's not that kind of love anymore; it's spiritual.
He knows that it's now ok to express romantic feelings to another woman other than his beloved wife.
Lisbon is taken aback understandably, not quite sure what to do.
Jane declares his love for her right there and then. It's always been there since day 1 but he admits his feelings have grown immensely in the past weeks.
He takes her. One hand on her pelvis and the other on the jugular. Staring. Caressing. Never has there been such an unawkward moment between them with this amount of tension and silence. It's real. They're in the moment. He moves from her neck to her eyebrows, and eventually strokes her perfect zygomatic arch. They're a breath apart.
He kisses her. Just kisses her. Like teenage crushes for the first time. [commercial break]
Lisbon is helpless; frozen with butterflies. Patrick, drawing away, utters those three words and tells her he needs some time alone now.
Feeling unsure of his actions he returns home to seek guidance or an epiphany of sorts to confirm if his wife is ok with this. And as per, he boils the kettle to spark the hallucinogenics he requires.
Meanwhile Teresa is still lovestruck in her office. It's nearly midnight and no one is in the CBI headquarters - or so it seems.
[enter Ray Haffner] (RJ disciple presumed dead since the explosion 2 years ago)
He's fuming. Ropable. But contained enough to speak with her.
He explains how his almighty mentor cut him a deal to keep him alive during the explosion and how he gave up his "life" over his lust for Teresa - all for Red John. He's been stalking her nearly every day and has only grown in his love for her. She's defenseless, and after tussling with Ray (breaking his Visualize band), she is forced back to Haffner's house.
He ties her up and begins pondering the life they could have had together and not with Patrick and all is patheticness.
All this is happening while Jane is reaching his delusions and is communicating with his wife. She is ok with the idea of their relationship and leaves Patrick with a final message to "go see her now - she needs you, my dear Patrick". Questioning the reality of what just happened, Jane always goes with the flow and begins to look for Lisbon who is absent at headquarters. As he anxiously leaves he finds a broken Visualize band. He puts two and two together and realise she is grave danger.
Now Jane thinks quickly and phones former Agent Van Pelt who still happens to have the computer skills necessary to track down the location of Lisbon. And within 10 minutes he arrives at Haffner's house. He breaks down the door and pulls his gun on Haffner who has taken advantage of a bloodied and bruised Lisbon. *BANG*
*soft, eerie, unquestionable voice*
"I thought we agreed for you to lay low, Haffner. It's a real shame - you were my best servant"
Red John lowers his gun but Patrick still has back turned to the door.
Patrick tries to slowly turn his head until he is intervened
"up-pupupp.. Patrick, you turn around when I want you to turn around. Understand?"
Patrick, a midst the fear, has a sly grin on his face because he finally just realised the true identity of his good friend.
"What's the matter, Patrick? Cat got your tongue? Nevermind that. How about you meet me alone at this location in 20 minutes." *slides up behind Jane and slips a piece of paper in his jacket pocket*
"I know you'll be alone because we have such great mutual respect for each other, isn't that right, Patrick?"
And after whispering another William Blake reference in his ear, he playfully slaps Jane twice on the cheek with the infamous rubber glove before leaving.
FIN.
Commence episode 16, the ultimate episode, titled "The Red Showdown"...
i come here every so often to entertain my mentalist thoughts. yet, recently, i have to come to the conclusion that most of you, with all due respect, are dumb.
(referring to those still on the bertram/mcallister bandwagon)
why, suddenly, are all these over-confident speculations on said suspects becoming more prevalent? particularly after watching this 21sec trailer.. it irks me
we're talking about bruno heller here. an artist. a genius who has created and developed a fictitious persona who we've all grown to despise yet revere; red john is a character i will tell the next generation about. what an honour it would be to play the character.
anyway,
sure, it's been developed in such a way that the reveal will not live up to the hype. such a way that no matter who is revealed there will be controversy and uproar. heller went too deep, yes. but i think we can all trust he made this reveal as exciting and as best he can.
so do you really think that gale bertram, publicly announced, is jane's archnemesis?
or, just as bad, do you still believe the snippets from a cleverly edited trailer have revealed red john?
ala: they showed a bald man.. twice! it looks exactly like the sheriff!
in fact, it should mean the exact opposite: these 2 are not red john
that's why it baffles me why some of you say they are.
yes, sure, they could be red john.. ANYONE could be red john. this is the mentalist after all, and bruno heller could pull off a double bluff..??? consequently creating one of the worst plot conclusions in the history of tv (did i actually say that)
but ultimately, i'm saying--don't trust what you see. especially in cheeky trailers
yeah it may not be partridge either but at least i wasn't as gullible as some of you were in thinking it could actually be one of those two bald breadbaskets
prediction:
*the bald man(men) we have seen are not red john and are all part heller's reveal
*the altercation in the church is not with red john and jane is revealed to have been 2 steps ahead in recent times (red john has always been smarter up until the end of season 5)
*jane finally meets his goliath in an empty park and erotically strangles him but bertram and lisbon catch up to him to witness the intimacy (i predict this because jane has promised to lisbon and bertram that they be there when the moment arrives. and jane has always been true to his, correct?
theyve created jane into a character who chooses his words carefully and i cant see that changing)
*then some more people die and jane is hiding for ages yadadafafaa blurgh this new main fbi reaches out to jane and the whole team is reformed in some way minus one or two. then the writers begin progress on jisbon when they really should be trying to get tunney and righetti in a lesbian porno
who really cares i'll be fappin in all my red john glory after he dies
red john: hello, patrick
GAHHHHHHH!!!1
