After having nightmares all night about the shittiest episode on earth, I was walking down the street and a bird actually pooped on me.
Nice...I got f..... by a pigeon TWICE in 24h...

It's all I have to say.

First of all, where's my prize for getting it right (for the most part)?

"Jane chases Mcallister into the Park. Dumps muffins all over him and he gets mauled by pigeons. Mcallister has panic attack from his fear of pigeons and faints. Patrick Jane ties him up and holds him down. Tom wakes up and Jane slices him up. End Scene."

Second of all, I found some pictures of the real Red John as a child, and as an adult. The second one was the trigger that made him start brutally murdering "chicks". View comments section for pictures...

SPOILER ALERT 6x08 LEAKED EPISODE

OMG! What a bullshit! From the beginning to the end of the episode. So hasty, so clumsy... so close to grotesque! Let's talk about Bertram's death, it has been too funny to be real! I laughed a lot at that moment and while I was laughing like a fool.... RJ appears! WTF?! It's not possible! Let's not dwell on many other bullshits like the pigeon and the RJ's disciple (without a gun)... but, after all these years of murders, tricks, cheats and challanges.... RJ begging for mercy? And then he calls the 911? Really? I'm sorry for this, because Xander Berkeley is a very good actor, his ice-like eyes could have been really creepy with a better plot.

OMG!  BRUNO HELLER IS RED JOHN!!

LMFAO

I haven't seen the leaked episode, only read the spoilers.  Some people think it's legit, some people think it's fake. 

If it's fake, all I can say is: Well played Heller, in this age of technology, you were able to trick us, ala Patrick Jane, through false promos and "leaked" videos into being genuinely surprised when the real episode aired and the true identity of Red John was revealed.

If it's a legit leak, all I can say is: Fuck you, sir.  You have had your loyal fanbase on a leash for the past 5 and a half years, getting rich while we were clinging on for whatever information you would divulge about Red John (an average of 2 Red John episodes with 20 odd filler episodes a season, which all got increasingly shithouse after season 3).  You are human tennis elbow.  You are the pizza burn on the roof of the world's mouth.  You are the opposite of Batman.  You are the worst.  I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
