THE THEORIES

Dudes, can anyone tell me if you can find  any article online, coming from any web news source talking about how the ruff cut of the episode RED JOHN, the most spected episode of the TV show the mentalist  was liked, from the own CBS pressexpress.com web, and how CBS cant believe this hapend???

Cos i sure couldn´t found it, dont you found a little bit strange that:

1-The episode liked from CBS itself (did that ever hapend before?)
2-24 hours pass and NO COMENT FROM CBS
3-The episode went world wide and still NOTHING TO COMENT ABOUT IT 
4-No one other , blog or pages like this one about the mentalist, know or coment about it


 Is like loosing 4 million bucks and going, Baah, its ok, i dont feal like looking for my money!

If nothing is said in the next 24 hours the episode was another red herring , probably with scenes that wont be on the actual episode and with a lot of missing scenes!

At list is what i believe.

Of course i could be terribly wrong, in wich case, it is the worst ending in TV show history, even worst than dexter and Lost, why? because the story, the writing and the actors were better!!!

Cheers Folks!!!

HOW THE HELL DID MCALLISTER KNOW THE NAMES BEFORE JANE?

"I'm a real psychic..." 

Don't get caught with loose ends you can't tie up. I'm tried.

If the episode truly was leaked it is pretty disgusting that they could not keep it under wraps, I really feel cheated by the whole thing. I didn't know the episode was leaked so i came on here to see peoples theories as usual but now what i have been anticipating for so long for has been ruined.
The biggest episode in the shows history and they give away the killer in the promo and the episode gets leaked its pretty pathetic and unprofessional. It's hard to believe that they would leak a fake episode but the whole situation is pretty ridiculous and if that is the true ending it is even more of a joke.

Bruno Heller deciding on how the reveal scene will play out after nurturing it in his head for 5 and a half years:

"Jane turns around, and there stands Red John, arms wrapped, smirking"

Me deciding on how the reveal scene would play out after thinking about it for 5 minutes:

- Jane hears clapping behind him, and turns to see a figure standing in shadows. The figure starts talking in RJ's voice, walking slowly towards Jane, gradually phasing his high pitched voice out towards his normal one. As the last part of the shadows is on his face he says "The game's over..." face revealed in a mid sentence slight pause, now talking in his normal voice "....and I won."

It was a pretty good episode, but not a fair ending to the Red John-saga. Revealing in the promo that it is McAllister and than explaining how he got the names with "I'm a real psychic" doesn't cut it. It doesn't even scratch it a bit. I mean, come on! As a writer you should never get stuck with loose ends that you can't tie up, like the names, just because it's cool. I'm an author myself and just that part is bad writing.

How did he get the names?

What does "He is mar" mean?

What did he do to Christina Frye? 

Why isn't Rosalinds description correct and why were there NO flashbacks of McAllister committing any murders? 

GAHHHH.

We didn't get to see any flashbacks or anything like it, so I really hope for it on sunday. Heller owes it to us. This episode was rushed, although the concept itself was really cool, such as the trick with the bird and the twist with Bertram. It seems alot like the ending of Mass Effect 3. It was horrible at first, then the writes corrected it. I think many writers rush into writing endings. 

It's kinda anti-climatic even if Berkeley is an awesome actor. The leak is also just terrible from CBS. Shame on them.

"How do you think the Red John reveal will be received?
Oooh, you know what, going back to the jumping up and taking your clothes off, you don't worry about [that]. (Laughs.) I hope they like it. I hope people are satisfied and hope it's a great, fun conclusion to that particular aspect of the show. But you can only do your best and put it out there. I know that everyone here is happy and pleased. Sometimes you're forced to hate the conclusions or the wrapping things up in silly, absurd ways or in fact — naming no shows — it turns out they didn't have any idea how they were going to end the show or what the secret was or why there were polar bears. We have the answers and it's very important to us, for those people who have been following us from the start, to reveal not in a series of cryptic moments that leave a lot of questions begged. We're going to tell the story and explain who Red John is and what happened and what is going to happen as clearly as possible because the audience deserves that."
