THE THEORIES

People kept on saying that they dragged the Red John storyline on long enough, but for them to introduce another love interest in Patrick life is quite pathetic, after the season 6 finale, even though it was horrific, puts an end to wether or not he will get together with Lisbon . 

One thing I don't understand is that Heller said that "Up until now if you're comparing it to Moby Dick, which is one of the analogies I used to describe the length of the chase, next season the whale has been sighted and they're in the small boats and chasing the whale", isn't that what he said about Red John at the start of season 6.

Bruno Heller if your going to make season 7 about Patrick and Lisbon's love life, just give up now

Hi!

I'm re-watching the show from season 2! (I've seen season 1 too many times..) 
I'm nostalgic, happy and sad at the same time! This show used to be the best of the best!

Normally I remember in each episode who the killer is but there are a couple of episodes where I forgot! It's so much fun to watch Patrick Jane when he is at his best, the screen comes alive when he is smiling and tricking people!

Ohhh, the good old days, I miss them so much!!
Amazing show at the beginning and it represents a time in our life when we had so much hope and everything was possible! Red John could have been anyone!!!

 I don't know what to say about season 6 but I'm happy I got to experience the first 5 seasons and be a part of the excitement! :)

Lets say Red John is alive for fun sake.
If what i say is true and Rj used Jane to take down the Ba
then this really proves that Rj loves the shit out of Jane .
Rj does not want to kill Jane at all.
He thinks of him as an old comrade as Lorelei said.
So WHO IS HE? Is he a he?
Red John wants to turn Jane and it kinda worked.
Jane was kinda crazy in season 6 and has a lot more confidence to do anything.
He killed Macalister in cold blood and you could see the pain on Janes face when he did it.
Rj from the season 2 finale " o and Kristina has grown quite fond of you even with all your differences"
Does that sound like Macalister ?!? Particularly fond haha
It kinda sounds like Freye talking in that scene but prob not her.

I cant wait for season 7 as you can see.
I actually love the new characters and show but i love it bc i am almost positive they will revisit the Rj story line along with Visualize.
By now we all know the official story about Janes house is a lie.
It does not add up at all.
Even Smiths story about Rj makes no sense.
Rj used an fbi guy for clearance to kill a secretary who already had the clearance codes!

O on a side note, the Reddit page for this show blowssss
Bunch of close minded losers.
I love when people argue with me and just explain word for word what happened on the show or is written on wiki as there argument. Like dude, i watched the show myself a lot what i am saying is that the show is not telling us everything! Fucking reddit

The Mentalist was like summer for me, in the previous seasons. It was always sunny, they showed us the lovely California. But even in this paradise, there was still something dark and creepy and everybody knew, that Red John was around, that he could be this not to special looking man, that it could be Partidge, Bertram, or just everybody, who was around. 
It had this special atmosphere, like a hot, dry somerday. It was like a beatiful world in the area of Sacramento, where crime and murder stood in opposite to everything else. 
The show was like that, a long time ago. But now, this feeling is gone and it's just a show beside a million others. 
But I still like to rember, this good old days, I will not forget them.

Remember there was a post about a picture frame clue?
The guy kept posting about it and i finally found it...

With Lorelie's mom Lisbon looks at the picture of Lorelie's step father .
Funny thing is her stepfather was the guy at the bar with Jane in Mexico!!
Wtf!!!!!

Never thought this until i noticed he turned the heat up in his house.
Why would he do this? Comfort? Its La!
Jane is very good at explosives as is Red John

Timothy Carter was given an award by THE SHERIFF for making a search team for a missing girl. The missing girl that was in his basement.
The Ba always to me had a sex slave spin to it. Macalister salivating over Van Pelt was interesting. If only he had a van and some candy.
Wouldn't it be cool if this human trafficking thing from season 6 was connected to the Ba? It ended kinda cool but the bad guy didn't seem bad enough.
I tell you what tho, the first thing that came to my mind when i saw his face for the first time.
Immediately a name popped in my head and i am curious if it did with you too. He looks like the brother of a character we are all not to fond of right now. Rip. If somehow that was all related it be cool.

Watching the season 3 finale and 4 opening was very interesting as you can see i cant shut up about it.
Its blatant to see that Bertram was intent on Jane going to jail for Carters murder for obvious Ba reasons. Ardilles too.
-But what i don't get is this...why would red john want Jane to go to jail? The Ba sure did, somebody stole the gun and phone making sure Jane went to jail.
Rj would not want to the game to end like that. What fun is toying with Jane when he is in jail? Shit he killed Bosco just so Jane could have the case!

Another thing that struck me. Jane when he thought Carter was Red John, was happy as can be when he killed him. Comical with his sense of humor in tact when he asked the waitress for the check. Maybe Jane was menopausal by season 6 and the Macalister stuff got to him?Nope.
This episode was the beginning of the Ba type Red John. Before this he was some guy who by himself killed women in the cleanest way possible.
This episode he uses a guy with a bomb to get codes to an account with money stuff on it but the plan blew up so to speak. Then he hired a hitman to kill hightower in a hotel from intel he got from wispers in cbi that were planted. That plan crashed hard. On the pavement. The hitman jumped to avoid jail.
Then there was Olaughlin walking into a house in daylight to kill what 8 people ? Haha

*For red john to switch his style up like this so drastically and sloppily for reasons ONLY to kill Hightower and ONLY to frame her for the Todd Johnson murder? Johnson his own person who succeeded in killing cops for him? Do you see how that does not add up? I bet nobody thought the writing was bad in season 3 right?
Well its not bad, there is a reason for everything. Why would all these strings connect in the 2nd to last season anyway? Baker was signed on for 7 years for a reason, this encore would of happened no matter what.
-if i didn't watch the old episodes i would never pick up on anything. This summer you guys should watch the classics with what i am saying in mind. Heller does not matter he is a name. The writing team and Baker make the show and they most likely would like to tie up their show in its FINAL SEASON.
