THE THEORIES

Okay so it's not about RJ being a god. We all know he is just a man at the end of the day but the thing is he is an evil genius. He also thinks he is god so he would never back down, and always have something up his sleeve. His followers are many but where were they here. I didn't see his evilness or narcissistic behavior till the end. His determination to not get beat? Where was that. His under handed dirtiness where was that?  It's like all of a sudden he became this weakling.
The whole feel to the episode was awful. The day time thing in the park wasn't the best option either and the jokes and humor about it was ridiculous.

The plot was awful. The action wasn't action it was running and jumping. The end was awkward with the blinking. Red John was but a man but HE THOUGHT HE WAS A GOD and where was that??

Ever since the beginning, I saw Red John the same way people from Visualize saw Bret Stiles, as a God. I always imagined him as a being a real psychic and being virtually invincible.

I could never imagine Red John as being a pussy who calls 911 as he is about to be killed. I didn't expect him to run away either. In the Season 5 finale, in the video it said that he would be active until he caught Jane, or Jane caught him. Well, Jane caught him and I fully did not expect for the powerful Red John to run away like that.

I hope this episode is fake or else I will be extremely dissapointed.For 6 1/3 seasons we saw Red John as one of the greatest serial killers ever, but if this is how it ends with him calling 911 and begging for his life, then I won't be able to look at Red John the same ever again

Anyone here agree with me?

Hank Schrader: My name is ASAC Schrader and you can go fuck yourself...What? You Want Me To Beg? Do what you're gonna do.

Red John: Please, don't kill me. I don't wanna die....[Calls 911]

This leaked episode is going to go one of two ways, I pretty much hope it is the second way.

1) It was the real episode, BUT it was not the final edited version. It could have been the version with many mistakes and the version before stuff was redone. Note, the Bertram lying on the ground in the leaked version, but not in the promo.

2) It was a fake. Imagine this: Spending a little bit extra to throw a complete hackjob together and release it early. Imagine this: Everyone whining about the episode saying it is worse than cancer, then on Sunday the real episode comes out, and it is genius and a beauty. That kind of media attention would be well worth the extra money they spent on this low grade episode.

Certain things pointed that is was fake. Some parts [while I think people exaggerate this too far] were a bit silly, a bit lazy and other parts were plain out rushed. There was also multiple illogical storylines within the episode. 

It could also be taken along with the promo: Most promos in the Mentalist have ever revealed anything truly significant, but this one basically revealed who Red John is. Could that be all part of the plan with the fake episode, to really screw people up and throw them off?

I personally just can't understand why there would be an encrypted link in the first place, and on some random upload site. It was clearly meant to be found, now the trick has been set.


We'll see on Sunday, let's hope we aren't disappointed! :)

Does anyone really care about Abbot? I don't want to see him on my screen at all. He is not a character I would warm too.

I feel cheated but looking at all the interviews they did say here that there is only one more twist. God they made it so dumb and simple. It's almost like they stopped caring. 
Guys there is no other episode. You need to except it. 

Anyway here we go with the interview. MY COMMENTS ARE IN BOLD

According to Red John writer Jon Harper, you shouldn't count your dragons before they hatch: "You'll have to watch and see, but with The Mentalist, there's always another twist ( apparently just the one)." We still haven't seen all the bodies from the explosion - could there be another Red John suspect remaining?( Nooo didn't see that coming) However, we can confirm that the Patrick Jane/Red John confrontation will finally take place in this episode. And as calm as Jane seems to be about the whole situation  (why wouldn't he be, he has a secret weapon in his pocket AKA the pigeon), the final confrontation is going to be action-packed( eeeeh?) According to SpoilerTV "when Jane finally gets to face Red John, there is a lot more action than I expected involved. And it's a good thing ( ehhhhhh?)." According to the spoilers website, the Red John saga's conclusion will give Patrick Jane a "second chance at life."

This was the one and only episode out there. We are giving them way too much credit.

I am praying that leak wasn't the episode we will see Sunday
-All these years and Red John is a coward
-It doesn't even make sense that the person could be Red John 
-Nothing was explained
-The final showdown was weak
-Bruno Heller made Red John look so bad and you would not think it was the same killer Jane has been tracking all these years
-I don't understand why CBS revealed Red John on the promo
-Red John defeated by pigeons

I really hope this was all a fake and we will see the perfect episode on Sunday where we will have a proper reveal and explanations.
If this is the real episode I will be very upset because I have been watching the show since the beginning and I have been waiting for the final Red John episode for a long time, thinking about the showdown with Red John and to get this ending is a DISASTER.

Gotta say, I was happily surprised with Libson in the episode. Didn't expect her to help Jane so much because she's all about the law.   I liked that she he

I'm jus wondering how Jane's going to get out of this and not go to jail.
