Hello everyone,

I think we are all overreacting about the last episode. I still believe that Haffner would have been the best Red John (his profile fitted more and he could have faked his own death the same way Mcallister did). Nevertheless, when someone like Red John is exposed and it is seen that he doesn't have wings and horns its always dissapointing. Think about that for a second. Did Bruno Heller ever let us down? The first seven episodes were really great and they were building up to a climax. I am sure there will be a logical explanation for everything, maybe in the upcoming episodes/maybe in a blog from Heller.

Once upon a time there was a television series called ''Traveler''. It got canceled after seven episodes, but left fans like me with a lot of questions. The master mind behind the television series wrote the entire story on a blog at the internet, as a thank you for the fans. Considering that the Mentalist has been with us ten times as long as that series has, I am sure everything is going to be alright.

Maybe Jane gets a job offer in the next episode because Red John is still alive? Who knows where this is going... If you have been a fan of The Mentalist, you should give Bruno the benefit of the doubt. 

Also, a lot of clues point to McAllister, and he makes a decent Red John as well. He was my number 2 option. As a local sherrif, no one thought he was powerful enough (including me). Turns out he was the mastermind behind the Blake Association. Also, the tattoo is to make him fit in with the others. I thought Red John would hate the idea of sharing something with someone, but I was completely wrong about that. It was a brilliant move that only Red John can pull off.

Remember the blind lady? She said Red John had strong rough hands (look at the Sherrif his hands), and he smelled like pine in the forest. It was given that the Sherrif likes to hunt, and when he saved Jane on the roof it turned out he was afraid of animals/creatures with wings. A form of phobia.
Furthermore, McAllister appeared in the second episode of the first season. Even though his character was underdeveloped, it is fair from that point of view. Xander is a really great actor as well, and he made the entire Red John episode more acceptable for me.

I am not saying I am very enthusiastic about the Red John episode, but I am not dissapointed with McAllister as Red John. Lets hope for the best and lets see whether or not we get our answers.
