THE THEORIES

Mentalist worst episodes:
1: Tommy Volker conclusion- stealing a child in broad daylight when his lawyers could eat the kids testimony alive tops my list.
2: The clown episode who killed the math genius. Seriously a clown? They still make ski masks right?
3: The gay guy who was killed by his lover and used a gym elastic band to throw his gun away. Bad.
4: Red John conclusion: Jane strangling Rj was cool and much better then a gunshot but everything else was ehhh
5: Rigsby Gvp wedding crime. Guy gets caught stealing and instead of just putting it back or dealing with a theft charge he decides to hit a dude over the head and leaving his body in broad daylight.
-This show has a lot of murders that were just unrealistic. Like if they got caught doing the original crime they would get community service but no they chose to pick up a lamp and kill a person.
-Jane usually catches people with tricks that result in little to no actual evidence yet the suspects always admit to everything bc cho asks "why did you do it"? Umm lawyers people.

Let's all agree on Scarlett Johansson being Red John.

Scarlet = Red

Johansson = Scandinavian derivative of Johan = John

I doubt anyone would object to THAT reveal :D

hi
i'm from Iran and i'm reading this blog and following mentalist for a long time. but unfortunately it seems that the next episode will be the last one any intelligent person would follow.
i mean the red john character had a lot potential for development that even after his supposed reveal it could have been the unique source of fresh and solid plots like the original Hannibal lecture in prison.
i can not wrap my head around the decision that bruno heller and other writers made to threw out such a good line of story telling. either they are plain stupids or something else happened that we don't know about.
regards.
ps: i really enjoyed some of the theories you guys made about red john, and for that thank u.

I'm sorry...but no.  This is just unacceptable.  The proposal...the promo.  No one could possibly be happy about the direction this is going.  I'd call it cliche, but that is offensive to cliches, who have their place.  This is just...wrong.
