I still don't believe it's a fake episode. I don't understand why people do either. I think it might be denial. Well this happens all the time, they drop the ball on on a series. They released this already  to the press. They have an article in TV guide about it. 
Even if it was altered to change the RED JOHN just the look and feel to the episode is still crap in my opinion. 
I don't believe for a second there is anything else coming our way. I wish there was and hope there is and there isn't too many disappointed fans
