Another big steal from Dexter and a follow up to:

The (in)famous smiley face is also from from Dexter.  In Mentalist, it is in red, and only slightly differently.

A lo of people have noted how the ending is copied from Profiler.  If you watch  Dexter, you will see even more examples of copying.  There are so many, it is ridiculous.  For example, in one of the last episodes, you hear, "There is a storm coming your way".  Mentalist copies that by changing it to "There is a comeuppance coming your way."  The last season in Dexter, an old lady doctor is introduced who paves the way to the season finale.  In Mentalist, Lorelai is introduced, who plays a critical role for PJ to come up with his list.  And so on and so on. 

So, what does that say about Heller as a writer?  A second-grade copy-cat?  Is it even possible that the season was rushed because he had no other show to steal ideas from?  I think it seems pathetic.

I found Red John's biggest enemy: http://i.imgur.com/ca7uRaW.gif

It all makes sense now.
I know why Red John is McAllister.
Because He was home alone :p

"(a)s soon as (critics) encounter a piece of art they don't fully understand the first time going through it, they think it's the fault of the movie or the work of art. They think, 'It's a mess ... This doesn't make any sense.' And they reject it, just out of an almost knee-jerk response to some ambiguity or some gulf between what they expect they should be able to understand, and what they understand."

"He is Mar" is an "Easter Egg" for the viewers, not a clue for Patrick Jane.

I noticed awhile back that there was no middle line to make the 'H" in "He," so the first part actually reads 'IIe'.  I never bought in too much that a dying person would bother to write "who is" so I figured it must be an address (ie. Apartment 2e, 15 Martin St.), or a Bible verse (ie. 2nd chapter Mark, verse 15), or a reference to a file number, work of William Blake or a date (ie. 15th of March/Ides of March).

But...

After the McAllister reveal, I had a hunch and went back and looked at his episode.  It is episode 2 (Roman numeral II), so that explains the IIe (2 episode).  But what about the rest, it isn't "is mar(s), is Mashburn, is many, or any of the others." It should be read 15 Mar(k), as in 15 second mark (using Mar instead of Sec or even spelling out Mark because it would have been too easily solvable, it makes sense to be cryptic with an Easter egg, not if you are a dying character giving an honest hint).

Exactly 15 seconds (not roughly, but exactly 15 seconds) after the title sequence fades out the camera pans and McAllister's face enters the shot.

That would support Heller's prior statements saying he knew who Red John was from day one, possibly he backed off of that so newer characters seemed more plausible to be considered for Red John?
