THE THEORIES

Apparently CBS will cancel The Mentalist and Warner Bros. are shopping around for another network. They likely already have it for the seventh season.

That said, I sincerely hope Simon Baker gets to take over the show; maybe he also sees what an atrocity the "RJ = Mcallister" thing was, and he may actually listen to us. This is one of the most popular Mentalist sites on the internet, do you really think no one in production has visited whoisredjohn.com? This is my message to you, Simon Baker! Now that the show might be heading off to a new network, with new negotiations and new deals...FIX THE RED JOHN STORY ARC!

I've said this time and time again, but even though Xander Berkeley could have been perfect for Red John...His character WAS NOT. At the very least, with Xander's new look, they could have introduced someone new portrayed by him. It could have been engineered to make much more sense. But what is done is done. The only plausible suspects for Red John are and have always been: Brett Partridge, Ray Haffner, and Bret Stiles. They are the only individuals with the traits, SKILLS, and personality that overlap in some way with Red John. Thomas Mcallister IS NOT and DOES NOT. He makes no sense as Red John.

Honestly, we've stuck with this show far too long to just let it die like this. Someone start a petition or something.

You know what, it's just easier to put it this way:

The Mentalist without Red John is Gotham without a Batman. Without any of the iconic villains...Suffice to say Gotham is something you will want to boycott after this.

It's been a nice six years, but even the "mentally" deficient Heller realizes this show is at its end, we should hear about its cancellation within the next two weeks.

Has everyone given up on Red John?.....Has everyone given up on The Mentalist?................Has everyone given up on this website?..........what the fuck has happened? Do you remember how you felt at the beginning of season 6 ? I was checking this site every half an hour and loving every post and so excited at the possibilities , even though I didn't agree with every theory I still liked that there were other people like me who were as crazy as I was for this show..........now..............this site has been reduced to people bitching And insulting one another and 12 hours going by in between theories ............now when this show creeps into my mind I get that same feeling I get when I'm putting on my suit to go to a funeral......kinda depressed and trying to think of better times

That episode was 10 different kinds of who gives a fuck -----I still can't believe they killed Stiles and Haffner off screen, didn't kill off the Rigsby's and randomly picked McAllister to be Red John (who is a psychic............ and a pussy)---------let's not forget that fuckin pigeon ...........and Fisher waving around her princess wand like a fuckin lunatic -----------------------------so far the worst thing about post RJ is that this show now doesn't feel like The Mentalist anymore............ It doesn't seem right _________________A romantic series finale??? You have got to be fuckin kidding me. This is sad I don't even wanna watch this shit anymore.........it's depressing to watch something you loved so much die such a horrible death..............this is like if I was taking my dog out for a walk and Bruno Heller just jumped out of the bushes and shot my dog then raped me at gunpoint and I was forced to watch my dog die while being raped ....................that's exactly how this feels LOL ----anything else you wanna ruin Heller? For the love of fuck please don't fuck up Batman *********************************************************************************************because the season isn't over yet let's just say RJ wasn't McAllister and is still alive ........ What do you think the best real RJ reveal would be?

Sry guys, but that's it. We won't see a RJ return. We just get to see a shit load of red herrings in these episodes - a red dress, red curtains, red red red. Really?! These writers are fucking retarded. Those love-story shit gives me cancer every time I watch the new episode for 5min.

And the worst part are those 50 years old women on the Mentalist Facebook page that say 'finally the RJ bullshit is over and we can se Jisbon happen. they're meant for each other. im sooooo excited omg omg omg' You know what? Screw all of them! I saw a loooot of people there that didn't give a shit who RJ was and how he was revealed. They were never interessted in it. They just wanted Jisbon to happen. I puked everytime I went to the comment section on their Facebook page. Just don't go there!

As hard as it sounds but this show needs to be cancelled. It is not what it used to be. This love story bullshit never really happened in the past 6 seasons and now they start 'tieng up' the relationship between PJ and Lisbon? I call bullshit! The dumbest idiot would notice that PJ and Lisbon have feelings for each other. But that's not what the show was about! It was about a heartbroken man that wanted revenge. On his way identifying the murder of his familiy he became sort of a criminal so that he could get information that he wouldn't get if he always followed the law. RJ made PJ a 'little' RJ that didn't care for anybody but for his team. And now all this is gone? After all he's done he's a free man that runs around and if he's in the mood solves some crimes with the FBI? Again: I call bullshit! Besides: Why didn't Bruno Heller team him up with a pigeon? They would be the best crime solving team in the whole world!

If there would be the possibility to delete your memory I would do it an watch season 1 to 3 and that's it. Although we never got to know information about this RJ too, this ending would be way more better than s06e08 bullshit.

This idiots ruined this awesome series with season 6. I will never watch any shit of Bruno Heller again.

I'm out!

I'm sorry to say, but RJ will definitely not be returning. It's as if Heller wants this series to be cancelled now.

Blue birds symbolize happiness, growth, and renewal. Whether or not this is going to be used ironically, I don't know, but I do know that the chances of the finale having anything to do with RJ is next to nothing. At this point, what does Patrick have to achieve? Getting together with Lisbon? That's it? Red John was his only challenge, and that was taken away from him in a blaze of bullshit, and now nothing can stand against the almighty Patrick Jane, the man who single-handedly caused the apparent collapse of Visualize, the BA, CBI, and Red John.

Fuck, if anything, Patrick Jane is the god damned villain now.
