Here's what really happened...(just a little something for comic relief) :)

Guess with less than 24 hours to go I'll spill the beans.

Red John was introduced in the Pilot, but it's not Brett Partridge.

It's Morgan Tolliver.

Pretty obvious once you realize that Tolliver is the Americanized form of Taliaferro. It's a common name in the south, I can't believe after 6 seasons nobody else picked up on this.

Just Google taliaferro, tolliver or any combination thereof.

Whoever Red John is, I look forward to this site continuing as a 'support group' to help each other answer unanswered questions (you know that will happen), defend the most intricate analysis of RJ should/shouldn't have been, and further speculation about the TT organizations.  In other words, we, too, will take on a life of our own!!

Now won't that be just grand?!?  I can hardly wait......

....meanwhile, let's hope the imminent "Red John" episode matches the high caliber of the series to date!!

(P.S.....I still do not think RJ is one of the seven on that list, and believe Mashburn is the villain)

Heller had to stop there. Season 1 - 3 were Red John (Timothy Carter) died. He was a perfect Red John. It was a perfect final. But "pigeon", "911", "don't kill me Patric" ... too much for me. 

Oh, man. You are making me lose my patience. If you still think the "leaked" is the real one, you didn't learn anything frome 5 seasons of PJ ruses and deceits. You are just dumb.

That it will be disappointing, with a lot of plot holes and absurd twists, this is another matter. This site will be submerged of "So, why did... " , "How is it possible that... ", "It's utterly absurd when.... ", "It was unfair to the viewers to say ... " and so on.

I'm pretty sure that the leaked episode is not the one to be aired on Sunday. I hope it isnt, as quite frankly, I couldnt see any of the writers gaining employment in this bussiness again!

I would think that Jane would want to know how he found out his list of suspects.

I'm sure he would have some other questions for him before he kills him.

I agree with others here, that arguably the single most awaited episode in TV history, would not either reveal the character in a promo, nor allow the 'leak' of it.

There is (as of midnight Saturday 24th Nov.) a link to a youtube full video on the Official Mentalist Facebook page, 44 mins long, strange that they would allow that as I am sure they would be checking what people are saying on there.

I noticed that in the promo, the church scene with Jane and 'Red John', while you see him walking down the aisle, there is no Bertram or candle stick stand on the floor, that is clearly visible in 'the episode'.

I personally think its another great example of the creativity of the writers of this show, thinking way outside the box, and proving that almost anything is possible these days. I for one am very looking forward to what is aired on Sunday, just please don't postpone it another week!

Things we learned from the mentalist

1- Always bring a pigeon with yourself when you're meeting a mastermind serial killer, they're the ultimate weapon.

2 - When a person hurt and bleeding walks towards you, you scream like he is the devil instead of calling an ambulance.

3- Serial killers usually suck at rock, paper, scissors.

4 - Whenever an important witness, RJ contact or
anyone with RJ-related information comes along, be certain to leave then
in an unlocked and unsupervised room so that RJ or one of his minions
can kill them.

5 - Don't ever watch anything Bruno Heller is involved with again!

6 - Always bring a female assassin to protect you AFTER you get shot. And also arm her only with a knife instead of a gun.

7 -  When your boss tells you to pat someone down, don't just check for a
gun. Please make sure to notice any suspicious birds, too.


8 -  Psychics can predict names on a list but cannot predict someone strangling them to death.

9 - Six years of clues does not matter. :(

10 - It's better to have a fear of heights, than to be afraid of birds. That will get you killed.


11 - When frisking someone, double check to make sure they aren't hiding a pigeon.
