I am the most let down person on earth with Red John's reveal, and the bullshit after that. I can't watch a complete episode now before I start to curse and get all depressed about all the things I've imagined RJ to be, and how he turned out to be.

But I will share my secret fantasy with you...
I wake up one day, just drinking my coffee and I just want to check on whoisredjohn.com, just to see what's going around, how many people are still upset like me etc.
Then I see the top comment someone wrote there, starting with: "I KNEW IT! YOU SEE? RJ STORY WAS NOT OVER YET!!...."
As soon as I see that sentence, blood rushes to my brain and I can't believe it but I'm just dying to see if it's true. I close the website in one milisecond not to get any more spoilers. And then with haste, I download the shit out of all the episodes I haven't watched, after excruciating first few Jisbon episodes now I start to realize, there's an explanation for all that bullshit we've been through, and that's intellectually satisfying one. After all, RJ story ends so beautifully, I stare at the blank screen for half an hour, amazed by the mind games writers prepared for us, almost crying.

Yours sincerely,
The person just as disappointed as you.

I remember i read a post here about Bruno Heller stealing the idea of the Mentalist and RJ from a show called "Profiler"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profiler_(TV_series) ,

any way i think i found something similar:

i was recently watching  one of my favorite  1980's comedy shows called "Sledgehammer" and it just hit me to see where Bruno Heller stole the character of "Brett Partridge" 

first look at this clip from the mentalist " the mentalist pilot " the Ghoul clip"

thenlook at this scene from "Sledge Hammer" 1988 show at second 3:15 of the video
am I wrong both characters even look alike and he used the exact same words " a Ghoul who enjoys his work"

what do you guys think?

I remember when the episode leaked, I watched it and couldn't believe it and I even bought the final episode on iTunes because I couldn't wait for a streaming link which I didn't even watch the episode again but simply scrolled through it to sadly be proven wrong, it was the real ending of the Red John story line.

Since then I didn't watch a single second of the Mentalist anymore. Today I came back to this website, i don't know why, and your comments confirm that I was right to stop there.

Just needed to share my still vivid bitterness ::

Mention of Lorelei Martins.. glimpse of hope..yeah.. Yeah.. NO.
F.U. bruno heller, you deserve all the curses possible and known to mankind and deserve to never make any cent from production anymore, you're a goddamn FAKE.
I'm done watching this series, I'll post again after the last episode.. which we all know how it will end.

The most exciting part of the last episode was me trying to figure out if Abbott is going to have an affair with the CIA woman. That was literally the highlight for me. :D

After watching last nights episode, I still found myself wishing for Red John to return. I get that he is not coming back and that the show is going a different direction, and I don't want to just flame it. 

That being said, I came up with a theory I haven't seen anywhere else and thought I would post it just because: 

Michelle Vega is actually Miranda Martins, who Red John didn't actually kill. She looks similar enough and has at least some character development in the lie she told to go with Cho. 

I highly doubt that this theory is accurate but if I had to pick a way for the show to reintroduce the Red John/Blake Associate/Visualize arc, this would be a fascinating way to do it. 

Thanks!
