Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear
I'm absolutely livid! Six years for that? Surely that's not it
I remember watching Strawberries and Cream(The best Red John episode imo) I was on the edge of my seat, but this this episode did nothing for me. During the confrontation I expected more, like flashbacks of past events and killings, Kristina Frye, explanations about how he narrowed down the list, explanations about how he preys on the vulnerable and how he recruits his disciples, explanations about how he killed Jane's favourite childhood memory and how he became Red John etc, I have no problem the with Sheriff being Red John but the story was simply not told well, it was rushed and through the years Red John has been made to be a powerful serial killer, in this episode he was made to look like a pussy, he begged for his life as well as dialling 911....come on! Perhaps they were trying to show his desperation but this was not done right, Red John is not a pussy at all, I expect his reaction to be something like "Go on do it" not plead for his life. I even thought Patrick would kill him the same way he kills his victims.
The only thing I liked was the relief Patrick Jane had on his face but overall the episode was just not good enough.
Please re-shoot this episode or even give us the run around again and tell us that Sheriff McAllister was in fact Red John's second in command, I don't care but please don't finish this beautiful storyline like this.
Overall it's been a disappointing week with my CBS shows, Person of Interest's latest episode, an excellent episode but a very disappointing ending. *sigh*
