LATEST THEORIES

I summed up the courage to watch the episode where Jane goes to Lebanon............ My goodness what has this show become? I stopped after 12 minutes, i couldn't keep watching  because i want to keep whatever good memories i have left of this show alive. It's not about the absence of Red John any more, it's the horrible acting, the plot , Lisbon behaving like a jealous school girl......... She's a grown woman for fucks sake. And what happened to Jane? He lost all his charm, he looks like a guy who just got out of rehab. What a damn waste............. this show had great potential.

The Mentalist has now become so corny that it is hard to watch. When the RJ storyline was active I looked forward to watching the show. Then we were given the biggest series letdown ever with the RJ "reveal" being so unbelievable. Now we have Jisbon, which makes me uncomfortable to watch because it is like a brother and sister having a romantic relationship. YUK!
Bruno Heller really butchered what could have gone down as one of the best tv shows of this genre.
What a waste. Bruno Heller should be spanked!

Hello everybody. First, sorry for my english. I read on this website for long time ago, but never submit a theory. Maybe is time. I allways think that RJ is Partridge, he appear at the most of rj crimes, and much more argumens(i am sure that you all know). I realy feel that the final of this season will bring Red John back, or a strong connection with him. The last episode is directed by Chris Long(say wikipedia) who directed a lot of rj episodes. I must to confess that i am not an optimist person but this time i realy feel the hope that something RED will heapend at the end of the show. Thanks for all your theores from this years.

Something is off about Agent Michelle Vega. Could she be Red John's daughter? - Is she the missing link that ties up all the loose ends in the series?

First of all, WHAT THE FUDGE GOING ON WITH BRUNO HELLER LIKE WHAT
It's like he's tired of doing The Mentalist after bringing up Gotham. Season 6 was def. not satisfying after those 5 mindblowing season and he cut it all out like Red John was nothing and he's ending the show with 13 episodes.. 
I had read theories here which made more sense than the actual story going on. All the biblical references and stuff, believe me you could make another TV series with Red John but nah.. They just ended the show. We waited 3 seasons to her RJ's voice and what? In 1 episode he just showed up and ended up DEAD. And I wanna remind you that the episode Red John was leaked.. 
The show started with a fake RJ case and now it's ending with one. But I hope it's just the plot of the episode and we can get some actual facts about Red John.
(pardon my English please)

Only half way done this ep lol ........... this is fuckin painfull ..........nothing about this is The Mentalist....... Because I'm crazy I'm still holding out hope There is a long con or explanation for everything that is bigger than Red John........ Why?.......why do this at all ?.......The RJ Reveal, "New Beginning", Jisbon ........this whole Jisbon thing is fuckin ridiculous ....Lisbon is acting like a jealous teenager ..... The craziest thing is( just like McAllister as RJ) there were never any indication of romantic feelings no build up ... Not in all the multiple viewings of the first five seasons did I ever say to myself I wonder if they will ever get together or I hope they get together before the show ends ......................I myself would have ended the 6th season with the RJ Reveal and then the 13 ep Season 7 could be the hunt and capture/kill of RJ and in the last 10 minutes of the final ep show him go on a vacation around the world then come back show up on Lisbon's doorstep and give her a passionate kiss she pulls him inside door closes fade to black ........anything but this fuckin trainwreck ........why 13 episodes? What's the point? Is anyone really begging for 13 more New Beginning murder of the week episodes where the overarching storyline is Jisbon ? fuckin nuts ........... Fischer is gone, Abbott's nice , nobody mentions that Jane is forced to work for the FBI ... This is the New new beginning ..............but why only a 13 episode final season? There's gotta be a reason .... If there's no deeper truth why not do a full season? This new beginning could carry the show for a couple more seasons at least if they just wanna milk it for all it's worth................what if Jane only did all this Jisbon shit just to get her away from danger to stop her from going to D.C. with Pike ..........Pike was offering Lisbon a new life just like RJ was offering to Jane in the Season 4 finale..... Think bout it ...........P.S. CHO IS THE FUCKIN MAN --the only highlight in the show now ...........................................................final ep Jane busts himself to be Red John-- cut to Jane on a moped in a Jesus pose playing chicken with a transport truck being driven by Harker Rosalind ..
