Maybe I'm just being hopeful that the RJ ending was another fluke, but I just can't seem to get over it...

With it only being halfway through the season, and so many questions left unanswered, I just hope that somehow, Red John is still alive, and will be discovered in the last episode of this season...

Things that I hated:

-Too many questions not answered (He is Mar, Christina Frye, how he got the list, how he got so many people to follow him,
         why Lorelie thinks he is exactly like Patrick???) and the list goes on...

-Patrick just looked stupid...After 5 seasons of The Mentalist, we have been accustom to Patrick solving crimes with his unmatched wit, and clever tricks.  Finding Red John, however, was nothing more than everybody else dying or being shot in the stomach, leaving only one person left...
I really didn't care who was going to be chosen as Red John.  The ONLY thing that I wanted was for Patrick to come out looking like a complete GENIUS, and having some elaborate plan to catch Red John...I was so disappointed.

-I really thought GVP was working for Red John...

-Shutting down the entire CBI??? 

-Getting Patrick back to work with the FBI...I thought it was kind of dumb how easily he was lured back to work in law enforcement (and again, he looked dumb with that contract that isn't worth anything)...I thought that maybe he would be lured back by another serial killer or something cool, but nope, just random...

-Why does Jane so easily fall for other women, but not Lisbon??  What's up with that!!?????????

Ugh
