I have read this theory of HII (http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/18371) and I love the idea of two RJ. RJ#1 the mastermind and RJ#2 the actual murderer, which would mean that Jane did get his revenge, partially!

It also occurred to me that if Red John is such a great mind and master hypnosis he could have hypnotised the fear of pigeons and heights out of himself (by teaching one of his followers), right? Which he obviously didn't.. Now what if RJ#1 left that piece of information (regarding the fears) with the psychologist intentionally and hypnotised a crazy irrational fear of pigeons into Red John #2 counting on Jane to use that information? That could actually make sense and fit with the mastermind character! Could this be possible? With Lazarus being RJ#1?

Another point that actually bugs me is that the writers and actors crew keeps on ensuring us that the RJ arc is over, i find that to be weird! They could say, "well watch and see" but they choose to kill any little piece of hope left, would it be to cause an even bigger BOOM in our minds when the arc picks up again? I guess we just have to wait and see - read you in 16 days ;)

To all those people who are asking about all the unanswered questions up-till now I just have one thing to say, "Even I don't have the answers so you'll never know". Now for the season 7 finale, you all do have a surprise waiting for you. Whether it is the reveal of the real Red John (Chuckles..) or Jisbon having unprotected coitus, watch to find out!! 
Thanks for watching.

P.S I wanted to name the last episode as White Cum but the CBS advisory board rejected it.
White Orchids it is!   

Seeing a photo of Reed Diamond & Malcolm McDowell together made me start daydreaming again about them returning to The Mentalist as Haffner & Stiles...I imagined Ray was whispering to Bret, "The WIRJ fans are in for a BIG surprise! Wish I could see their faces when we turn up alive!" Wishful thinking I know...but it was a fun 30 seconds while it lasted. ;-}

How about that Cosby scandal?

Um, on a lighter note, congratulations to the Cho being promoted to FBI bossman.  It's hardly a thrill a minute, but at least  it'll end on a note we recognize as true to his character.

Based on where they've been going with McRJ, tech wiz Haibach and the incestuous Jibson [a kind of "Mentalist in Wonderland," if you will]…..Cho could have run off with a monkey and joined the Plus size ballet.  But luckily, he's one guy we can count on being consistent [if horribly underused].  I'd welcome a spin off with Cho as the bossman but sans Jibson.  

Tune in next week to see Patrick Jane take his wedding ring off!  

Oh, and has anyone noticed that Simon Baker's accent has been very noticeable lately, in the last few episodes?

RJ gained extreme power by building influence within the Blake Association, which essentially controlled law enforcement for a time.

PJ is now in the process of gaining extreme power by building influence within the FBI and with the Undersecretary of the Department of Commerce.
 
The symmetry is fearful.
Alex Jane is near.

I think the title of the next episode "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is related to Jane taking off his gold wedding ring.
