THE THEORIES

"Hello this is 911, what is your emergency??"

"Hi, this is Red John, i'm being chased"



Now that is fucking ridiculous

I've just finished watching the episode via the source code link. I can confirm all of the promo scenes are in the episode and that bruno hasn't flung us another red herring.

I'm slightly disappointed as there are so many unanswered questions that will probably go unanswered. It was great acting but the RJ reveal is a disappointment. If anyone really wants to know who it is before Sunday throw your email in the questions section.

hahaha
stupidest writing in the history of television
guiness record for plot holes :)
As a consolation, there are good series out there
If anyone hasn't seen Breaking Bad, then watching it will ease the pain and offer some real excitement!

Guys, I'd like to thank you all. For being here and sharing your state-of-the-mind theories. I feel special for being a part of this community. The Mentalist Community. We are the true followers of this show and the rest is just regular audience. I remember someone here asked something very important once:

What's the expectation level of the ordinary audience (about the big reveal) when compared to the expectations of us as the Mentalist Community? So for whom the reveal will be addressing to? This was a very good question and I agree that such a distinction exists. However, from what I read out here and in some other sites as well, people who saw (or claimed to have seen) the leaked episode were extremely pissed off and disappointed to death.

When we look at the creators' interviews and the ones who have seen the legit rough cut, we are all expecting something marvelous. IDK if I'm just thinking or hoping but this show is a first to keep it too long for a serial killer to be caught/killed, the first show in which almost every actor and actress has been accused for being the main villain. So why not it should be the first one to leak a fake episode? I mean think about it. That would be namely writing a history on TV world. Truth be told, a few minutes after I saw 6x07, I imagined something like this. I mean can you imagine anything like this? First they take us down with a shit leaked episode and then they blow us out with the real thing. It must be like that. 

Bruno, if you did anything like this, you are the KING. If what I'm thinking/hoping above is not right, then it's still not too late to shoot another version. Please, please, please...

And I do invite you people who are the true followers of this show NOT to continue watching it if we get stuck with such a disappointment by the creators.

Hit green if you have actually seen 6x08 'Red John'

Seems like a ruse

WTF BRUNO!!!

Effective ways do you believe the Red John reveal will be obtained?

BH: Oooh, you understand what, returning to the lifting and taking your clothing off, you don’t bother with (Laughs.) I hope they like it. I hope individuals are satisfied and wish it’s a wonderful, enjoyable verdict to that certain facet of the program. Yet you can just do your best and placed it around. I understand that every person here is happy and delighted. In some cases you’re compelled to despise the conclusions or the wrapping things up in ridiculous, ridiculous ways or in fact– naming absences– it ends up they didn’t have any concept how they were visiting end the program or exactly what the secret was or why there were polar bears. We have the answers and it’s very important to us, for those people that have been following us from the beginning, to disclose not in a series of cryptic moments that leave a great deal of inquiries asked. We’re visiting tell the story and describe who Red John is and what took place and exactly what is going to take place as clearly as possible since the audience is worthy of that.

Just want to make something clear! The episode wasn't leaked! A website was hacked and people got the link from the source code page. There's a difference. But what I think is interesting is the fact that CBS hasn't removed it ???
