THE THEORIES

So, how on earth did the sheriff convince T Carter to die for him? He certainly wasn't blake association. 

And... if RJ Macallister planned to kill Jane and Bertram in the same scenario, giving an end noone would ask about, would this mean that the sheriff was willing to stop killing under the RJ identity to bury the case? (maybe he would still do it under another alias).

What I mean by this is that in the end RJ didn't exist to the person who was RJ. McAllister didn't believe in RJ, and he was up to drop the character just to prevent from being caught. The sheriff always took RJ as a façade, and this is the most disappointing conclussion. It doesn't make sense. I was waiting RJ to be someone to at least believe his own delusions. A crazy man.


He played Patrick all along, even dying. Even if he was the one to kill Jane's family, McAllister wasn't RJ cause RJ doesn't exist. He was just a fiction, he makes fun of the voice.

SOOO, big question... If RJ wasn't believing his own shite, how on earth did he get so many followers and surrogates?



So many questions, and so many doubts, and gret pain no to get a decent, rational, logical answer to them.

I know dissapointment spreads through out and you feel this is the end and I'm sorry to say I feel the same way.

But don't you think this would have been a better script:

Jane is on his way to the church to meet bertram, but Jane pays a young boy to go in there in a hood and tell them that Jane sent him and he was going to pass on the message.

A Bertram is furious is orders Oscar to shoot him, but just as Oscar raises his gone he gets shot in the heart and then bertram right after… both collapse and are dead.

All we then see is a random man walk out of the front of the church but standing in the shadows and we can't see his face. Then he says in red johns famous soft and mellow creepy voice "Patrick come out, the games over and I won" 

But out of no where someone grabs RJ from behind and then all we hear is Janes voice and he says "Do you know who I am" with a gun pointed to RJ'S head. (RJ did this to Jane and Jane is doing it back to him)

He then pulls RJ out and we see Mcallister looking helpless and at the same time almost delusional and laughing almost mad. Then Jane says "Your work is that of a demented sexually perverted psychopath , but I knew this day would come and it has, so say your last words and repent" 

RJ says NO PLEASE YOUR NOT LIKE ME.

Jane says "NOW YOU BET FOR MERCY AFTER ALL YOUVE DONE. 

and he shoots RJ in both legs and he collapses then jane takes a knife out of RJ'S OWN POCKET and says "The list was simple for you to get, because I wanted you to have it, because you see I was always a step ahead of you because you see once you got hold of the list you knew I was getting close because you were on the list and you would want to kill me before I got to you and I loured you in"


Jane says I spent my whole life making mistakes but I'm sure this one is for the greater good and he stabs RJ.

They then unveil some more things in coming episodes. PLEASE AGREE IF YOU LIKED IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE REAL ONE AND HIT THE RED IF YOU THINK ITS NOT, COMMENT WITH OPINIONS. THANKS 
IM PURELY WRITING ANOTHER SCRIPT DONT YOU THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ENDING AND HELLER COULD HAVE ATLEAST WRITING SOMETHING BETTER… JUST AN IDEA

Someone on Youtube uploaded a video last month explaining why McAllister was Red John so, even if you're disappointed you have to accept that it makes sense. It fits. Like Jane said "the rest is just details".

After watching the second episode of season 1 again (Where the Sherriff first appears), it seems that he was plaanning on kidnapping Grace and making her one of his victims. Good thing Rigsby came to the rescue!

I have been said this many of unlikely of this theory but I still will always never change my mind of grace being the partner of Red John. As you know her job when she did get there what she does and how close she is to Lisbon to know how to get the names she did for John who ever he may still be even though we now think he is dead. I have said more to this as of the drawings being of her or her drawings. I can not see it being rigsby I but I do know they do sleep together so she doesn't have the dots and am sure who ever Red John is has no dots but mainly its cause its unlikely the more unlikely you get on something like my comments is the more plausible something is. Its a tv series has to shock you has to have something nothing other then this would do it. If Grace is not a part of it as of some sort of partnership or relationship or family to this or anything of this the show is to plausible. By the way ever see people get married in a police division or even make it ok. so this will always be my theory and its mine cause its not likely and I am glad more and more say its not likely.

It is over, deal with it.

Red john is not coming back for many season.

1. http://www.spoilertv.com/2011/05/mentalist-season-3-finale-bruno-heller.html this is the interview that was done following season 3 finale, where Jane kills the fake Red John. In the interview Heller bets around the bush indicating whether Rd John is dead or not.

2. The latest interview with Baker and Heller http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/mentalist-red-johns-fate-revealed-659592 and another one but cannot find the link; he specifically outlines that there is no going back. He rules it out completely. And elaborates on the new direction of the show.

3. Look at the new promo, it is obivious they  are not going back to Red John.

4. All the new names of the episodes do not have red in them. This is a clear direction of the new direction of the show. 

5. On the mentalist Facebook page they are posting pictures of the new show.

We were always going to be dissapointed in the end of Red John. We built him up so much nothing was going to satisfied

I know everyone is annoyed with so much unanswered questions. If you all got what you wanted and answer all these questions it would take the entire series! You could explain it all at once in one episode, however, it wouldn;t be natural and in the flow of the show. It would just be jane standing up saying want to know how I did it? That is silly. If you wanted it to come up naturally and with the flow of the show it would take forever!!! And most normal viewers would hate it. I would actually love a sort of Red John Spin off to explain him, however, it would only work as a spin off.

It is over, I don't know what it will take for you guys to realise.
