THE THEORIES

People get over yourselves. Quit saying Heller wrote a terrible ending. No matter what way it would of ended you would of still said it sucked. What's he supposed to do in that amount of given time. It wasn't the way I imagined red John being revealed. I thought it was a pretty good ending to the saga so long Red John

Heller talks abut the Mentalist and how he ending came about. I suggest that the new "jump the Shark" is the Pigeon Bomb. Feel Free to ad comments letting Heller know how you feel. http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_mentalist/news/1001580/

Hey Heller,
There were lots of questions asked you and you gave them shitty answers. Ok I'll buy it but answer this!

How a mastermind, a great leader of an empire, super psychic who knew PJ's list 2 months before the list reveals, world's greatest psychic who knew that PJ will gather all of 5 people in his house so he can arrange these before the gathering: place a bomb, bring an armadillo helmet, a flash bang, make Brett Partridge change his DNA sample and find a dead body which also killed a bomb too so forensics could not understand that body dead at least 3 months ago,
could not know PJ has a gun under the seat and a pigeon in his pocket?

Now I think you want to get help from Cynthia Saunders(Creator of Profiler).

Lets write your answer to this web site, and let the real fans decide it is plausible or not?

If you win I hope all steps you take turns gold.

If you not, I hope anything that you will make (even a salad) cant get even 1 point from IMDB never ever again.

So I just came home and my brother was like "dude, you don't wanna watch this episode..." and I was "oh, why? Is Red John still alive? :o"
AND THEN I WATCHED.....
Why.......Why so much failure, please change this website's name to ''why is he Red John'' or ''how is he Red John''.
Let's get to my point, shall we?
First and the most non-sense thing ever
The list, he guessed it right because he was a psychic...are you guys out of your minds?
There is no such thing as psychics  - and even if he was a real ''psychic'', he is no mastermind at all, he is dumb as f...
Why would he meet Jane if he could simply predict his death? And because he was so afraid of dying (so pathetic), why would he go there?
How can Red John be a sheriff?
I'm not so sure about a sheriff's duties but I'm pretty sure that it makes no sense at all. He is a guy that receives calls everytime about police stuff and is asked to be on certain places on a set time, how the heck does he have enough time to do the killings, his sheriff business, to command his ''secret empire'' and he still have enough time to hunt as a hobby, seriously, how?
The pidgeon...
How the heck did Cordero didn't notice the freaking living pidgeon on Jane's pocket?
And why did he spared Lisbon's life? Did the pidgeons scared him? If they did so, why did he decided to do some painting instead of walking away?
My biggest disappointment
My biggest disappointment was either the fact that he was just begging for his life like an innocent harmless child ''please don't kill me'' or the way they dubbed his voice on a face-to-face scene, why...why?? Could've simply said that he used some kind of voice changer with his mask or whatever.
Not to mention that he was really dumb afterall, the great Red John, the mastermind, is not that smart and yet he deceived PATRICK JANE for ten years.

On my mind Red John would never ever say something like ''please don't kill me'', he would say something like "your wife screamed so hard and you child as well, I still remember her sweet voice in pain" (or something like this).
The thing is that they tried to do some non cliche thing that ended up making no freaking sense at all and a cliche would've been better.
My final notes
Special thanks to the cast, they were great even with that horrible script, special thanks to you reader that probably spend a lot of time thinking on all those clues and creating a lot of theories since season one and all (a lot more plausible and interesting than this ending) and thanks for reading.. leave a comment if you would like to correct something or to add something I may have missed.

Have a nice day.

Thanks to everyone who shared the marvelous theories and comments, and helped to reduce our butthurt.

Just spreading the word, thanks to "theotherjumpshot". This is from wikipedia article
about TV series "The profiler" (1996-2000). Please, take a min to read.

Dr. Samantha "Sam" Waters (Ally Walker) is a forensic psychologist working for the FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force based in Atlanta, Georgia. She is a "profiler"; she has a unique gift to "see" through the eyes of others which gives Sam a special insight into the workings of the criminal mind. While she performs all of her duties diligently, her real motive lies in a both professional and personal tragedy years earlier in which her husband was murdered by a serial killer known only as Jack of All Trades (played by Dennis Christopher, who was never fully seen until the middle of the third season, when he first appeared posing as a buffoonish sheriff of a small California town).


P.S. To the webmaster. It's good you solved the problem with the download of the pages.
I think you should also make possible that popular (and funny, or important) comments don't get lost between the others. Maybe special pages for the comments over 20likes, 40 likes, not just TOP 5. Anyway, great job, man.
