Why?...............why even have a 13 ep seventh season? What's the point? This is a fuckin joke .......... It's crazy how far this show has fallen ..........season 6 was a train wreck. Are they really gonna do 12 murder of the week eps with a jisbon wedding finale............ I would like to see in the series finale somehow Lisbon finds something of Jane's that proves he is Red John something that only RJ could own ..............combine Fight Club with the Usual Suspects Kyser Soze reveal ..............that would be crazy.........one can still hope. .........let me get this straight Fisher is written out of the show in 2 lines of exposition and replaced by a GVP rip off (goody two shoes with daddy issues). How fuckin original of you Bruno Heller ........ They should of made Fisher the murder victim in the first episode but instead the victim is an undercover agent murdered by a bowling alley owner and Jane solves it by doing his guiding the perp's hands and reading her eyes trick. ...... This whole season better not be re-hashed garbage ........................................... By the way tell me Gotham isn't the biggest piece of shit ever................usual Heller M.O. The show will start off strong and then spiral out of control without any direction........teenage Catwoman witnesses the Wayne's murder? The Riddler is GCPD's forensics expert??Fish Mooney??? Hey let's throw in a young Bruce Wayne cutting himself, quick give Selina Kyle a glass of milk... Get it? She's gonna be Catwoman and she likes milk .... Fuckin wow....... Harvey Dent flipping a coin, Cobblepot eating a fish ..... This show is eating a dick .......this show is gonna implode faster than Rome (2 seasons- no real finale).

Just saw the new episode so SPOILERS:
I really liked it. No bullshit.
Yea it was jisbon centered but they actually had good dialogue between the two of them. Wasnt fake or corny and its funny to see lisbon and Jane communicating at all.
Cho is still the man.

I like the subject matter of the cases since Baker took over.
He had a little anti gov big corporation thing going that i enjoy.
Best line was when dude was ranting about government stealing taxes Cho said "i know"
Or when cho first saw Lisbon he asked two questions and was right back to business!
The Fbi cases are linked to actual real world problems. This was selling of government guns to gangs.
Last year was fracking, sex trade, etc...
No more rink dinky love triangle murder of the weeks.
PIKE IS CREEPY!!!!
O and i get the feeling Fischer has a psycho crush on Jane and will return to kill Lisbon! Haha

O and Jane still wears his wedding ring ;)

Honestly i enjoy this show no matter what the episode is like.
I am not gonna bash it just bc it isnt dark like i want cuz it still fun for me.

I do however think Styles and some Red John focused discussions will go down at some point.

VISUALIZE IS CONNECTED TO THE BA
STYLES KNEW WHERE FRYE WAS
HE HAD UNDERCOVER COPS AKA BA COPS
KNEW FBI WAS AFTER HIM
FAKED HIS DEATH AND GAVE JANE MACALISTER AS A GIFT
ALL SO HE CAN ESCAPE...

Up until this lazarus news, I was thinking Patrick Jane as Red John. Now, who knows what could happen. Yea, might be a cheesy season up until the last few eps. Maybe not Red John, but they're gonna end with a bang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     For old times sake, I think everybody (all 11,451 voters) should watch this last season. This show may have magnificently flopped last season, but it still gave us this Patrick Jane/Red John arc. That's enough for us to give it one last chance even if were 200% sure nothing dark will happen.

I think were getting flashback episode to season 6 episode 8.
Macalister sent out a "red john selfie" last week!
He was dressed in episode 8 attire .
Why would he wait a year to send this out?
They are shooting a scene from episode 8 in season 7!!!
What really happened that day will finally be known.
Macalister was a pawn! Or something...

I want to talk last season.
Can we assume its a fact that
Haibach did NOT kill Ardilles and La roche?
Nobody ever said he did anything besides kidnap Gvp
But he did that only after knowing he was A suspect in another case.
No way in Hell Haibach created the Cbi Hitlist, bugged everyone,
And stabbed Ardilles 100 times like a madman.
Haibach had no beef with Ardilles or La Roche.
In fact he didnt with Gvp either, he really only wanted to hurt Jane most of all.
So who killed Ardilles? And why? I believe him and La Roche were BA .
Only someone high up can bug people like that.

So who created this whole Haibach ordeal?
Did Jane mastermind this somehow? Placing notions on Lisbons head to go with her gut knowing she always hated Haibach. Maybe Haibach was hypnotized or hired to Kidnapp Gvp.
In return he can have his way with Jane.
Because Ardilles and la Roche were killed right away.
GVP AND Rigsbys house intruder shot to kill.
Haibach toyed and kepts Gvp for one purpose...to attract Jane!
That wasnt Haibach in Gvps House! That is a fact we know now so who the hell was it and how the heck did he miss an unarmed man with a baby not looking at him!
Who was he Kira Tinsley ?

The show after ep 8 is one word, ambiguous. They never answered who made the list or killed Ardilles or found any evidence that Haibach did it.
So this season, shits going down...
Who do u think killed Ardilles?

im not a person that is going to watch every episode 50 times to catch every word a phrase said but if had to take a stab on who Red John was i would say that Jane has split personality and Red John is his other personality
