Hey people! Who you want me to kill next? I would get everyone but Patrick, I like him too much... and.. Teresa, of course.. I can eventually knock'er out and draw a smiley face on her cheeks for the second time.. what do you say?

What did laroche say when he died ?

Walter Mashburn is the only good and reasonable Red John suspect, he has money, time and likes Patrick, he was fascinated by his tricks, watch the scene on the beach when they walk and talk! he wanted a personal relationship with Patrick UNLIKE this dumbfuck Sheriff, wtf Mr. Heller?

Well, Mashburn obviously isn't/wasn't Red John, but he would have been the best Red John!

'He is mar...'
-> He is MarAllister???! DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
- > He is Mashburn? IT'S AT LEAST POSSIBLE!!!
BURN = RED OPEN YOUR EYES!



According to Bruno 'idiot' Heller we won't have any explanations or any answers at all regarding Red John or his 'cult'.
So the only hope I have is that we have another interesting serial killer in the following episodes/season of the Mentalist and THAT BRUNO HELLER DIES IN A GREASE FIRE!!!

Damn!  I hate Heller.

Ardiles is dead but his throat wasn't slashed RJ style.  All of the old CBI team's phones have been bugged along with several other people.  It's either RJ monitoring them or it's the Blake Association but there's not really a clear motive for them.  If it is RJ then he might just be fishing for information because he's worried because Jane's returned to the US.  RJ wouldn't have bugged Jane's phone because that's something that Jane would notice and Jane finding his phone bugged would definitely make Jane suspicious.

I suppose this makes it obvious how Van Pelt and Rigsby will finally leave the show.  This investigation will get them killed.  They've been such great characters that they really do deserve to go out Red John style.  Some mediocre killer or the BA isn't good enough for them.  There was a moment when Rigsby was in the street that I thought the score was reminiscent of the famous RJ  theme music like four taps of a drum but that's probably just me.

Please let this be the return of RJ.  Let Heller turn out to be brilliant . . . or at least let him fix things and give us a good season finale.  It seems like a long wait till March and the next episode.  

Loved Sherlock tonight . . . really hope Moriarty is really back and not just someone else messing with Sherlock.

A question more that a theory.

Do we accept that everything Bruno Heller has revealed publicly is valid, or is it more reasonable to believe that while some of the information is valid, some of it is most certainly misinformation.

I believe the latter.

It strikes me as odd, for example, that he would publicly confess to not settling on the identity of Red John until somewhere during Season 4 (or thereabouts) - even if this were true, what would the benefit be of revealing that?  Furthermore, does it make sense that he would have been clear on the existence of The Blake Association (and the role it would play), before knowing who Red John would be? (Tyger Tyger goes back to Season 2 if I'm not mistaken).

Maybe hope on my part, but RJ still feels like he's out there, I think he's Mashburn, but in any event, the first 8 episodes don't seem to hang even now.
