THE THEORIES

Only if this page is closed down I'll stop bitching at Heller's con. Well, end of the season and of course no more Red John cause there's no hope about it unless Heller has a "manic" state of mind and steal some ideas from this page. The case will be a filler, no doubts about it, so I present  2 stupid scenarios for ya watchers :

1) PJ and TL are found naked on the couch after a nice waiting for 10 years fuck nite, both are fired from the F.B.I for misconduct and take the airstream or an old car (as seeing on a pic prom) with some "Grease" song as background to hit the road. 

2) Well, some cheesy crap ... like he proposing at Alexandria's church with RJ's spirit floating around with dozens of pigeons blessing the union.

What a disgrace of an episode for fuck's sake. 15 DNA traces of women, 1 of a Dr. "Feeldead" and 0 of the hitman. So the arabs were killed by prison inmates (guess that's what happened), but what made him get caught ? : a fucking "Julius Ceasar" tattoo which was on records and Wilye made the connection as soon as he heard the name "Arthur" ?, or a tape from the prison the doctor commited suicide in?. Why the need for the stage then ?. The "bad" guy pleading for his life, that was new huh ?. Thing is old-dry-ladies and whinny-pussy-teens and closet faggots who are watching this show are only on the 'Jisbon' thing. I'm not against it but an obsesive-compulsive maniac character like "Pancake" asking TL to marry her on headquarters as if III World War is about to start ?. For fuck's sake this is decadence at its worst. An Special Agent giving alcohol to a witness, that was amazing (well, if he's running the show behind bars I'd understand it). Seems like nothing is on script anymore. It's all take 1 and "improvise mother fucker we don't have time" scenes. There will be nothing left for the "behind the scenes" DVD. A comedy of errors.

From Heller's most recent interview, it's clear the RJ story line and any explanations to tie things together simply isn't going to happen.

He's only throwing bait to the original Mentalist fans (e.g. Lisbon in a red dress final episode, 3 dots on coffee table, etc.) to keep them watching, but he has repeatedly stated the RJ plot holes will NEVER be filled.

He has shifted gears to retarget the show to the Johnny Come Lately audience who were not part of the original audience and who bought into the idiotic reboot because they're not even aware of the orignal clues.

All that CBS cares about now is will the original viewers swallow the bait so they can fill the time Sunday slot without taking a risk on a new show.

To Heller's credit, he's given fair warning that the RJ arc is truly finished. So if we continue watching, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

I for one will watch the season finale, but for me it's the end of the road. Season 7 is non-issue for me, I'd rather walk the dog.

The reboot was a yawn fest knowing that Heller will NEVER resolve nor explain the RJ arc. I'm a guy not a middle aged woman, so Jisbon, meh, whatever.  

The cheesy Casablanca ripoff teaser for next week is almost naueseating to watch. It looks like a parody of a classic.

Like someone else already said, I can't believed they renewed this train wreck.

Anyway, time for me to move on to something else and it certainly won't be Gotham. I actually like Batman and would hate to have Heller make me despise the character.

Cold cases:

There are three cold cases that come to mind that might affect next week's episode:

1.  Kristina Frye
2.  Walter Mashburn
3.  Erica Flynn

Wouldn't it be fun to re-visit these characters?

Q1/ Why did BH end the RJ saga on episode 8 and not on episode 22 ore a little bit before 22 ?
and since episode 9 it's a great chance to bring back some good old characters like kristina frye and erica flynn and virgil minelli
Q2/Why did rigsby and van pelt leave the show ?

Having read the synopsis for episode 6.21 where Jane finally faces the consequences for killing RJ, wouldn't it be interesting if those consequences were from killing Timothy Carter, NOT McAllister.

What I mean by that is this:

Most hard core fans who watched the show from the beginning seem to be in agreement that Timothy Carter made a great Red John and had the series ended in the mall with Jane killing Carter, a lot of questions would have remained unanswered, but it still would have made sense since Carter fit all the clues to that point.

Conversely, those same fans seem to be in agreement that revealing McAllister as the real Red John was lame at best because the same questions still were unanswered and he fit very few of the clues from earlier seasons. It simply didn't make sense on any level.

So what if Jane was in a coma ... not from the explosion in season 6 but in rather in a coma from some sort of beatdown (or something equally traumatic) that happened when he went into custody after the mall scene at the end of season 3 before his absurd acquittal in the first episode of season 4?

If that were the case it could plausibly explain the idiotic and unrealistic events that happened every now and then in the series from seasons 4 to 6, since the longer Jane is in a coma the more fantasy like his reality becomes.

So in essence what has happened between season 4 episode 1 and now has been in Jane's dream world as he becomes more out of touch with reality with the passing of time. Maybe Carter was the real RJ, maybe not.  If he wasn't, then maybe (and I'm probably giving Heller way too much creative credit here), Jane has been subconsciously putting the pieces together while in his coma and the clues that we see as totally unbelievable in the real world are just symbolic in meaning.

The real meanings and how they tie everything together will be revealed when Jane finally has his real day in court for the crime he committed at the end of season 3.

I realize this is hail Mary theory in hopes that the series doesn't crash and burn in total suckdom. I really don't care who RJ is (even it was McAllister) as long as it's explained and actually fits the clues given since the beginning.

Anyway, hope that made sense.
