THE THEORIES

Did you notice that the voice of "red john" when he says "the game is over and I won" is not the same in the leaked episode and in yesterday's episode?
It is higher in the second version. It seems like a lame attempt to make McAllister's voice to fit "red john" 's real voice, the one we all heard on the phone (ex: I'm sorry patrick, Teresa can't come to the phone right now).

I have a strong feeling that we need to wait, the story might not be really over yet. Did heller said that we would know who RJ is in this episode OR in this season?

I went into the last episode with an open mind knowing the reveal wouldn`t be what I wanted but there was so much wrong with that episode.  Holy fuckin ball drop.  There was no mention of Jane`s past and no connection to Visulize. There was no Mentalist suprise they could have stuck anyone in the Red John role but they chose the hillbilly sheriff who was only in one episode before the 6th season and they didn`t explain anything. What a cop out   The whole season was fucked. they should have revealed Red John`s identity in the season 6 finale and added a plot twist like one of Jane`s team is working for Red John and the 7th and last season would be the hunt for Red John and the whole series ends with Red John`s death.and them explaining all the mysteries from the series tying up all the loose ends and satisfying all the fans. Just having someone from the list of 7 wasn`t going to be a shocking at all and then have it be one of the bomb blast victims was lame. The whole Blake Association thing came too late and the FBI was a waste of time. Stiles Kirkland or Partridge would have been a more believeable Red John.  I thought the actor did a great job playing Red John but we already saw this with Timothy Carter.  Jane throws a pigeon at Red John  Red John tries to call 911 acts like a bitch  what the fuck happened  this is how they were gonna fix sagging ratings  they just killed the show    they could have had anyone be Red John they could have explained everything episode 8 should have been a Red John origin story showing us everything we wanted to know     just like Timothy Carter it`s still open that McCallister is not Red John     there`s no fuckin way this is how the Red John saga ends

Planned originally to say nothing.
Had to say something: I'm extremely disappointed to the ending of the great tale of Red John hunt.
Just plain disappointed. If Waldo is something who is shown in 2nd episode and then random...
Too much Waldo for my taste. The story doesn't fit together at all.
End of season 3 would have been masterpiece having Bertram as RJ.
I don't know how you writers of season 6 are going to sleep your nights, though I see long painfully sleepless nights in horizon...

What now? I quit the serial, I will check it 2 months later , ı cannot wait relief episodes of Jane , I 'll watch last episode when I check it 2 months later from now, if there is some mystery I 'm gonna go on to watch serial, if not I will totally quit. 

Who cares relief of Jane , important one was the relief of audience , I am not relieved I can fuck 30 women nonstop

So , what now? 

Heller shit the stuff , anyway it was on an acceptable level of shitting. 

Possibilities; 

-Mcallister said he was psycic while Jane choking him (maybe Heller might try to generate something from this point, pyscics)

-PJ will be shown one or two episodes as relieved ,than what will happen? ; 

Cliche one:  PJ will turn out someone like RJ , maybe will rule the black association( not most probable)
Original one: Stiles ,or some other kinda of mysterious character will re-appear, something mysterious will happen or what?

What should we expect now? Should we stop following this serial? Maybe , I will let patrick hang up for 2 months and will not watch upcoming episodes, after 2 months I will watch first the last episode to check if something mysterious is happening , if not I will totally quit the show.

Interesting side note to that abortion of an episode last night. It turns out PJ actually is Red John after all :) 

TV Guide Magazine: Any chance of a Jane-Lisbon romance? A lot of fans are dying to see that happen!
Baker: You will see that he really misses Lisbon and is a sad, floundering shadow of a man. He's afraid and just going around and around in circles. He's completely lost his mojo and he's asking himself, "Is this what you want to be? Is this the way you see the rest of your life?" He's offered a chance to go back to work for the F.B.I. and declines because he's trying to move on from that life. The episode has an interesting kind of noir-ish feel to it. Jane had been filled with this deep desire for revenge, which is generated out of self-loathing, right? Take that revenge out of the equation and he's just this guy who is empty. But the episode is also really romantic in a way, because you see how much Jane longs for companionship. You want to know something I've never talked about?
TV Guide Magazine: Hell, yeah!
Baker: All those times we heard the voice of Red John? That was me.
TV Guide Magazine: Seriously?
Baker: Yes! In the Season 2 finale, when Jane was captured and Red John did that "Tyger, Tyger" thing with the mask on? That was me. I played both characters in that scene.
TV Guide Magazine: Wow. That's especially trippy considering there was a major theory going around that Jane was Red John. So in a way that turned out to be true!
Baker: That was the reason I did that. There was a point where Bruno was saying, "We don't know who we're going to cast to play [the masked Red John]." I said, "Don't cast anyone! I'll do it." Bruno was, like, "I love it! I love it!" So I put on a mask and did that funny, wispy little voice. And for seasons after, whenever Red John spoke, I had to go record the voice.

I looked for the promo of 6x09 just now. Is that fucking serious? It cannot be serious. What the fuck. I thought last episode was ok ONLY because i imagined something else would happen. But for the looks of it, that REALLY was the end. WHAT THE FUCK.
