Just saw the episode. It wasn't that bad, but of course it could have been much better. Don't forget that many of us were "spoiled" before seeing, so the twist had less impact. I liked the subtle way they found to explain the voice of Red John, that was nice, which makes me think that maybe heller did know who Red John was meant to be.
The pigeon scene was a bit of a stretch, and made Red John look less menacing, and a weaker villain. Overall it was nice, and they can answer some questions in next episodes, i would like to know how he knew about the list.
Jane got what he wanted, not in the epic way i expected from this show, but overall makes sense.
