Theories of mjt2 (2)

Love the hopefulness still on this site - that the episode that aired was purely a trick & that wasn't really RJ, that there is some elaborate ruse going on in true Mentalist style that will soon satisfy us all.

Each week after the episodes there's been a "well there must be a twist, that can't be how it ends" feel to most peoples comments, but more edging towards "I think that might actually have been how it ends...".

I think todays episode will finally kill off all this hope & reveal the unfortunate truth, this seasons been horribly written & the RJ arc has been thrown in the bin without clearing up any of the questions that needed to be answered to give this part of the story the ending it deserved.

I hope I'm wrong as it could have been so good, but I gave up a couple of weeks ago on a good ending & I fully expect to be disappointed with the next episode (in regards to clearing up the RJ saga).

Ok so obviously the final episode was a complete let down for the majority. 

People are disappointed who RJ turned out to be, people are disappointed in how RJ was portrayed (a bit clumsy & cowardly). As was I.

However the most disappointing aspect for me is the complete lack of explanations to so many things. I was hoping for an episode of flash backs and clarity, where all PJ/RJ's tricks & moves that led up to the finale would be revealed in some fascinating way which would have me thinking "Ah, now I see...!". Oh and the sloppiness in how many times the identity was leaked before the episode - mainly the promo clearly showing RJ as McAllister & killing any big reveal is pure idiocy really.

I can take RJ being whoever, I can take him turning out to be a coward. But at least give us the explanations to what happened in the build up, how did RJ get the list of 7? How did he create the blake association? How did he set up PJ house/what happened in the house? How do all the RJ clues add up to fit McAllister? Where's the visualize link to McAllister? What's RJ background story? How & when did PJ figure out its McAllister? How did he get a pigeon into the church? Who was that random woman who attacked him?

I'm sure there are many other questions as posted by others too.

If there is an episode that comes up soon explaining the whole RJ storyline & giving the arc some sort of closure then I will STILL be happy with that. If this does turn out to be the last we hear of RJ, with no clarifications on what the hell happened, then I will be utterly disappointed - it will just feel like all the build up, the clues, the mysteries, have been dumped & left unexplained because the writers can't be bothered/never bothered to think up a story that actually made sense so they decided to completely ignore making sense & just decided to finish the storyline and move on ASAP.

So in summary I'm disappointed in how the episode gave no clarifications into any of the main storyline questions, but all I'm asking for is that these questions are answered at SOME POINT in some way & aren't just completely ignored, an episode to clear up the RJ mystery then I will be happy & the show can move on with some dignity.
