LOL I might just be in denial but there's no way the Red John story is over.  The Mentalist up until the 7th episode of the 6th season has been some of the smartest and most entertaining television on network T.V. . . . but nothing since Jane's house exploding has made any sense!!!   Before the explosion why cut away?  why not show what happened in the house with the gunshot?   the Bertram is Red John fake out again ???  episode 8 was such a farce    the sheer stupidity of this episode compared to any other episode in the series is what makes me believe Jane has been in a coma since the explosion    the way Bertram dies ??? Heyyy?  PATRICK JANE HIDING A PIGEON IN HIS SUIT JACKET POCKET......THROWING IT AT RED JOHN(WHO HAS A GUN)........go back and watch that scene where McAllister is trying to swat away that pigeon and tell me this isn't an explosion fueled coma nightmare........THEN MCALLISTER GETS SHOT BY A GUN JANE STASHED............they search Jane but not the church?.......JANE TURNS INTO AN ASSASSIN AND KILLS CORDERO .......picked him off pretty good for someone who doesn't like guns......BUT THE MENTALIST HIMSELF PATRICK JANE CAN'T TELL THE CRAZY BITCH SLOWLY COMING UP THE AISLE IS A RJ FOLLOWER ?? .............that was Red John"s backup plan? a middle aged crazy lady with a box cutter....ya , in case the police detective with the silencer gets killed McAllister's back up plan is this lady and he acts like he's not Red John A HELPLESS AND SHOT MCALLISTER GETS UP AND HAS A FOOT RACE WITH JANE .....CALLS 911 !!!!!  BLINKS SORRY!!! JANE CHOKES HIM TO DEATH WITH HIS BARE HANDS!!!     THEN THE SHOW TIME WARPS TWO YEARS......                                                                                                                   I always hoped Red John was someone not on the list from Jane's carnie past with strong ties to Visulize.....or Red John was a group of serial killers ....or Jane was Red John,,,,,whatever.......up until season 6 I was sure it was Partridge but when he was killed I thought either it's a fake death or he wasn't RJ and really was dead    and if he's dead who could it be?   i then thought Kirkland or Stiles would make the best Red John  --the actors who would give the best performance and that is what would make them too obvious   so I thought it would logically be Haffner(Red Barn episode)  they already did the Bertrum is Red John fake out in Peaches n Cream  and who gives a flyin fuck bout Reede and Mcallister cause they were only in one episode each and never mentioned again till the List of 7            THIS IS ALL TIMOTHY CARTER AGAIN JUST TAKEN TO A HIGHER LEVEL         if it wasn't for the Heller and Baker interviews before episode 8 and this site and I watched it without spoilers I would have never believed McAllister was RJ     season 6 should end with the reveal of the real Red John and the end of the 7th and final season should end with the death of Red John                there's still plenty of time left in the season for Red John to pop up and when he does the hardcore fans who had given up are back on board and the new fans will want to go back and watch every ep from the series          the Mentalist has enough episodes to make it into syndication doing all this now doesn't make sense      i have faith Heller has some master plan          i won't judge or condemn until the end of the season because..

......THE SEASON 6 FINALE CLIFFHANGER WILL BE RED JOHN IS STILL ALIVE AND EVERBODY WILL GO FUCKIN NUTS        AGREE?
