I didn't watch the episodes since the poor RJ revelation episode, but thanks to all your posts I have been kept up to speed. I would appreciate a 7th season told from RJ's points of view over a few episodes but without seeing him (revealing the meaning of ALL the clues throughout the seasons) and at the end of which we would find out that RJ is not who we think he is.. I would just love one more thrill, one more big thing like the first few seasons delivered.
Cheers to all
- "So Patrick, how did you catch RJ?"
- "Well, I got lucky.. The FBI sent only one car to chase me and luckily a trunk drove right in front of them allowing me to distance them and have the car stolen by some delinquents. That way I reached the cemetery easily"
- "Why the cemetery?"
- "Because i had planted a gun. Thus i offered the cemetery as a meeting point, and RJ went there thinking i hadn't planed anything"
- "But he might have tried to make sure you were unarmed ?"
- "Yes, one of the BA members frisked me, he found a non-moving thing gun but didn't feel the moving bird i had hidden in the back.. I told you i got lucky"
- "A bird? Why?"
- "Because RJ is afraid of birds. So at some point i asked RJ if I could show him something and he naively said yes and got closer to me, thinking i wanted to show him my new super cool watch".
That is basically what we had as a final showdown. Without mentioning that 5 minutes of the episode are dedicated to showing the FBI trying to guess where Patrick went and to seeing Patrick running after a marathonien RJ running with a bullet in the stomach.
Those who found that ending satisfying, you are quite gullible.
I just bought the episode on itunes i will inform the ones who want to know if it is the same as the leak in the comments. I am currently on min 20. I'll attach a print screen for proof.
So this person did this review http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/11/the-mentalist-episode-608-red-john_171.html on the same leaked episode that some of us saw and qualified it as "brilliant. Stunning, sad, satisfying and just as it should be. Awesome."
She also mentions the incredible performance of the actor portraying RJ (during the pigeon scene?!)
What the heck? She even says it outdoes the season 3 finale..
Please tell me she is the only one with that opinion?!
So it seems i have been too quick at thinking the leak didn't exist, it was no crap, my bad.
Indeed the link doesn't work outside the US but with a simple Hotspot Shield it works perfectly.
The episode is simply not final showdown material (the crumbs/pigeon thing for example) and I can't picture BH being satisfied of this episode.
Also, how could the episode leak when it never happened before? The channel and the production have people monitoring internet that must have heard about the leak hours ago and could have shut it down in no time with the means they have.
For these two reasons i believe there is a twist and a different episode will air on Sunday.
Then again I am maybe just deluding myself.
I prepared a long email for you who allegedly watched a leak, but i decided i should wrap it up and simply tell you to CUT THE CRAP
I just noticed that there are twice the existence of twin sisters of whom only one is killed by RJ and the other survives. Could it be that RJ had a twin sister ? Could it be that the loss of his twin sister drove him crazy ? Thus explaining his focus on women ? And what if GVP is actually RJ young sister ?
