The biggest disappointment for me is not that it was McAllister, but the fact that he was running away, begging and being terrified of dying. That's my biggest problem. It doesn't make any sense to me that they wanted to close the Red John storyline like this.
Have they never seen a good thriller with a psycho serial killer in it? Like Kevin Spacey's character in Seven, or Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal?? Would they beg and cry? No, because they are sick, mentally insane psychopaths..Even Kirkland was more of a psycho, just accepted that he was going to be killed..
Why did they make such a huge mistake and made Red John a regular person?? I don't understand and I never will..Very sad for us fans who never in a million years thought that it will end in such a cheap, unimaginative way..
