THE THEORIES

Bruno Heller said we would be disappointed to find out who Red John is because he was just a man. No elaborate amazing revealations. Red John ended exactly as he was supposed to. A shameful, pathetic and scared man. After all this time, there is nothing special about him once the curtains are pulled away. They did a fantastic job with this storyline and if you think otherwise it's of your own doing. Patrick made him feel regret and humanized him right before he killed him for destroying his family. Perfection. I'm still going to watch the TV episode, but the rough cut did the show justice.

Come on, a hot chick like lorelei falls for MacAllister, lolz, I wud have loved if red john died due to old age or disease, but this last episode was sloppy. Come on if red john knew Patrick would kill him, why not shut the hell up and flee the country, go underground. And that lady follower of RJ has a blade to kill PJ wtf someone give her a gun damn it.

This is what one of the lead editors of The Mentalist, Jimmy Gadd, tweeted on 22nd nov:
-I know you're angry that fans are spoiling this Sunday's episode. The CBS Press site was hacked & a link was shared of the unfinished show.
-Just ignore the spoilers & watch the complete & finished episode this Sunday. I'm sorry it happened but thank you for being such great fans!

1. If you think the episode everyone has seen is fake then you are the biggest fucken retard in the world. Like seriously its a rough cut so it might not be 100% what the finished episode will be but the story line is going to be the same. The episode was not "Leaked". The CBS site was not "Hacked". Someone looked at the source code and copied a link that was only meant for the press, i could show my 7 year old brother how to do that .

2. At first i thought this episode was horrible , then i watched it a few more times and quite liked it. When Patrick explained to him how he survived the explosion McAllister liked the attention, Jane saw this , so when he said 'I'll tell you how i got the names on your list, i'm a real psychic" Jane said he didn't want to know, taking away the attention from McAllister, which made McAllister feel worthless, and Jane gets the "last laugh" so to speak.

3. If Bruno Heller somehow tells us later on in the season how he got the 7 names everything will be answered.
 - McAllister fits Rosalind Harkers description
 - He is Mar... He is MacAllister - If you are dying i don't think spelling would be your number one priority. And the R in Mar is the top of a C which trailed down when Renfrew died.
 - Partridge was killed after he changed that DNA to a new body , McAllister killed him as he knew who he was and because Partridge was a "loose end"
 - The 7 names he guessed is the only thing unanswered , and i'm sure Heller has a great explanation for how he did it, but even if it doesn't get revealed to us, grow the fuck up and get over it.

All you butt-hurt 'Partridge is RJ fans who say they won't ever watch another episode of the Mentalist ever again because it has gotten shit" should just fuck off. Like seriously id like to watch you create 6 seasons of a television show without having one single mistake.

just saw the thing.
Sorry guys  but its legit.
They may add  5-10 more minutes with some chatter that may explain some things more deeply, like  rigsby being on fbis  payroll  or something like that.
But the essence  is going to be the same,  the damm  redneck is red john  and  instead of acting  like an evil  genius  he acts like an scared  chicken,  with some feathers  if you ask me.
we are not going to get any more explanations  on all those  clues all these years.

Dissapointing  to the max.

i will probably not watch  the rest of the season,  and they are nuts if they think  audience  is going to forgive them.

They killed  any chance  of a 7th season,  and  im being generous  thinking the will be able to finish the 6th,  they may actually get the axe  in two or three weeks.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER 

Hey guys, so I watched the episode that was leaked, I can tell you that it really did seem like the real episode. I really highly doubt they would make a fake one. I mean all the scenes from the preview were identical. I can't say I am happy with who RJ turned out to be or how it ended. But that is what happens when you hype a show over one character and then the ending does not turn out to be so good. Now hopefully I can enjoy the Mentalist for what it really is, let's see :)!
