Alright guys. What did you think of this episode?
Green: you liked it and you're satisfied.
Red: you didn't like it and you're disappointed.
I want Bruno Heller's blood right now as far as I'm concerned. That prick stole 40 minutes of my life every week for 5 years. Worst series ending. Ever. Ain't gonna watch The Mentalist ever again.
PS: I am still mourning Bob Kirkland. He was the best character in the series so far, and the most under-exploited.
Reede Smith is no longer a RJ suspect, he
surrendered to CBI and told Patrick he wasn’t RJ. That was obviously the truth.
The last suspect is Gale Bertram, but I think we all know he’s not RJ. Read
some theories below if you want to know why.
So, we are facing a big problem : Smith and
Bertram are the only remaining suspects, all the others are supposed to be
dead. But none of them two is RJ. Therefore, RJ (if he is on the list) is one of
the dead suspects. Something is clever about these five suspects, and I think
it has been done on purpose : we can’t be 100% sure they’re dead!
- Brett Partridge was many's favorite and I think that's why he
was eliminated first. However, even though we've seen his dead body (or else
Cho is really stupid), we are not 100% sure about him being dead. But let's
assume he is.
- Bob
Kirkland was the second suspect eliminated from the list because it was too
obvious he could be RJ. His voice matched, his look fitted Rosalynd
description, and there was that spooky thing about him that made him a perfect
candidate for RJ. He was killed for that one reason, just like Partridge
was. They were the most suitable suspects, that’s why they were crossed out of the
list pretty hastily. However again, Heller made sure to leave a disturbing
element : Kirkland has got a twin brother, which leads to a lot of questions.
So, Kirkland isn’t Red John? We can’t be sure,
we still can assume he is not dead.
- As for Haffner, Bret Stiles and Sherif
McAllister, they supposedly died in the explosion and we found DNA evidence for
the three of them. One thing is sure : at least one of them did die in the
blast. We saw a man’s foot but we don’t know whose it is. Is it Haffner’s?
Stiles’? McAllister’s?
It can’t be McAllister’s :
we can see him in the promo for next week’s episode so he must have escaped and
spread his DNA somehow. But is he RJ? (I hope not :( ).
My opinion about Bret Stiles
and Haffner is that they both were killed by the blast and their bodies were
torn to pieces. But we are still not 100% they died, they also could have spread
their DNA and gotten away.
The only thing that we are
sure about is that one of them three is dead alright (unless he cut off his
foot and left it there^^).
So you see? Partridge is
certainly dead but we are not sure about it (well yes we are, actually I am but
we still can believe he’s not), Bertram and Smith aren’t RJ, Stiles, Haffner
and McAllister may still be alive, and Kirkland’s death is not sure either.
By the way, I hope it’s
Kirkland, I love him! Oh by the way, I miss LaRoche, he was my favourite character
before Kirkland showed up :/
Only a week to go through till RJ is finally revealed!!
Oh come on, there are still people who think Partridge isn't dead? We fucking saw the body, isn't it enough? Let's face it, Sheriff McAllister is RJ. And don't get me wrong, I am just as disappointed as you guys must be.
Right, this is next week's episode promo.

"The game's over and I won" Whose voice does it sound like? I think this is Kirkland4S (whichever). But is he RJ? Lots of questions over here. I think he's not, Sheriff is.
So, are you guys ready to be disappointed? I am, but I still have a tiny hope McAllister isn't RJ, my favorite character remains Bob Kirkland :/
Guys, guys, guys...
Brett Partridge is NOT Red John because he is DEAD. Simple as that.
How could he fake his death? In 06x02 when Bertram gets to the scene, he is told that a dead body was found which belongs to Brett Partridge. How could it be that he escaped? I mean, if they found his body, they would have taken it to a morgue, investigated the death, etc. So either Brett is definitely dead and he is not Red John, either Bruno Heller thinks we are stupid and makes him Red John. If Partridge turns out to be Red John, then we do need an explanation as to how the hell he escaped without anyone knowing it for 5 episodes.
Something that is more likely, on the other hand, is Kirkland being Red John, because of his twin brother hanging around somewhere with no news about him. It's possible that Michael got shot instead of Bob.
One thing is sure : if it's Smith or McAllister, I will have wasted 5 years of my life.
But hey guys, don't expect anything epic, it won't be. I think when RJ is revealed, everyone is going to go WTF, it should be very disappointing. (Bruno Heller himself said so!!)
Alright guys, mirzaanil posted a painting by William Blake named 'The Great Red Dragon', here's the link -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Red_Dragon_Paintings
As you all well know William Blake is a promininent element of the story because of:
- His poem 'Tyger tyger'
- His painting 'A Brace of Partridge'
Now one of the Great Red Dragon paintings particularly drew my attention:
http://www.gailgastfield.com/pageart/Blake_RedDragon.jpg
Look at the dragon's tail, it draws three loops. Does it remind you of anything? Three dots, growing bigger from left to right. That's right folks, exactly the same as the tattoos.
Any thoughts? Do you think this has got anything to do with the story?
I think the writing has gone shitty recently. Even the idea of coming up with a seven-suspect list is total nonsense. I mean come on, look at the people on that list! Reede Smith, Ray Haffner, Sheriff McAllister! What do they have to do with anything?
Reede Smith, seriously?? Some fat FBI agent with no self-control?What is he doing in the show, what is he even doing on that list? He literaly came out of nowhere!
Sheriff Thomas McAllister, are you fucking kidding me Bruno Heller? We haven't heard of him for like a thousand years and then he comes back up on PJ's list for no reason... I'm 100% sure nobody even remembered who he was before his name was mentioned on the list.
Ray Haffner, dafuck? He got manipulated by Jane like a hundred times in one episode, and he too comes up from nowhere, admitting to being a member of Visualize. What's the fucking point?
Only Stiles and Kirkland seem clever enough to be the mastermind PJ has been dealing with for all these years, but one is old and dying and the other was prematurely killed (by fucking Reede Smith???) for NO reason that we know of!
The only other suspect that could have been an acceptable choice as RJ was Partridge, as he had been hanging around RJ crime scenes since the very beginning BUT he too was prematurely killed for no fucking reason and I think it would be shitty writing if he came back from the dead.
Another sloppy writing example: after Kirkland and Partridge died, we never heard of them again, I mean it's not like they were prominent RJ suspects, it's not like they were murdered, it's not like their deaths needed to be investigated! We should have seen an investigation into their deaths but what do we get instead? Some random tattoo story that leads us to think that fucking Reede Smith, McAllister and Bertram are the only remaining RJ suspects? For God's sake.
Bruno Heller and CBS don't give a damn how good or bad the show gets, they don't give a damn who you want RJ to be, they proved their only purpose is to make big filthy money. They only care about keeping their audience watching their fucking commercial breaks. Their audience decreases and all of a sudden they feel like coming up with some list of suspects, killing Partridge and Kirkland (to me the best character in the show so far), making big explosions and crappy tattoo nonsense.
The story has gone completely shitty. They had all the elements they wanted to make it good, plenty of interesting characters. Rosalind Harker? Kristina Frye? PJ's father? Walter Mashburn? Hell no, that'd be too boring, let's come up with irrelevant characters like McAllister Smith or whoever they want to bring back to life.
Don't be too disappointed when RJ is revealed, I think we all will be anyway, whoever he turns out to be. Heller and CBS will have reached their goal. They will have made a lot of fucking money, but they will have wasted our time for years.
Peace, and sorry for my English mistakes, I try.
Characters that are likely to be part of next episodes:
- Former head of CBI Virgil Minelli. Someone who was such a prominent character in the first two seasons must come back somehow.
- Rosalind Harker: she's the only person capable of identifying RJ he hasn't killed (yet) and was a key witness in the previous seasons.
- Walter Mashburn: he's freaking rich and had a relationship with Lisbon. I have a hunch we might see him again in a way or another!
- FBI Agent Susan Darcy: we haven't heard of her ever since she fucked up 04x23 operation to catch RJ. What has she been up to?
- Kristina Frye: da fuck happened to her? When we last saw her she had presumably been hypnotized into thinking she was dead. Who did that? How is that possible? Where has she been?
- Agent JJ LaRoche: he has been an important character therefore he should have an important role in catching RJ over the next episodes.
- Michael Kirkland!!! His name wasn't said for no reason, if Bob mentioned a twin brother that has to have something to do with the story.
- Summer Edgecombe: who else has noticed how she looks just like the private investigator from 06x05?
I mean we aren't done with most of these characters are we? I really want to see them again. Which characters would you guys like to see again/ do you think we will see again?
