Okay, after the big disappointment .. here are some thoughts. But I don't know.. ever since we watched the Mentalist the one thing we learned is: never ever trust the obvious..
Does Bruno Heller really wanna tell us that PJ never knew who RJ was before he revealed himself? If so, in my opinion PJ lost to RJ. The whole series was like a chess game. Both of them made some moves to confuse the other one or take some pawn in game out of the way. And in the end PJ still didn't know who RJ was. He just hunted down all the 3 suspects that were left. WOW.. that's very Mentalist-like... all the cases alongside the RJ-storyline were solved with brilliance and true 'mentalism' ... and now he's meeting with some guy who he thinks he might be RJ (and besides tells the whole world about it) just to notice 'oh dude look.. there's some other guy walking up the hallway' .. 'trololol here i am patrick.' ... screw that!!! And here comes my question. Why did PJ look down the hallway at ~24min (before RJ appeared)? Was he just acting with coution or did he wait for the 'true RJ' to show up because he knew neither Smith nor Bertram are RJ? Was he sure that the man with a tattoo who supposedly died HAS to be RJ?
But one thing is sure.. If Bruno Heller doesn't give us a shit load of RJ vs PJ flashbacks this whole series is fucked up. There were and still are so many plot holes, so many clues that don't fit and so many scenes that need to be answered.
