One of the reasons I’m having problems with S6E8 is because of how the entire RJ revealed is handled.  The Mentalist is not an action hero show (although Chou and Rigby provide action); it’s a show about how PJ uses his mind to solve puzzles, RJ being the greatest one he has ever faced.  What do we get in S6E8?  A long chase scene.  Huh?!?  Where’s the great PJ flourish and reveal?  Where is the gathering of the suspects (BY PJ) not a call from one of the suspects to arrange the meet.  PJ does not seem in control.  We then go to S6E9 (the “re-boot”) and PJ gives the flourish of trapping the dope dealer.  It’s there for the re-boot but not for the greatest puzzle in his life?  One might argue the most important espiode of the series?  This is what is giving me problems.  I would be OK with McAllister if we the viewers had been let in on the process.  If the writers, through PJ, had provided us with a "normal" story for the ending.  Is it a normal espiode?  Of course not, its the RJ reveal.  Why did I fell like I was watching a different show?  After all, there are no psychics, right, BH?  So I am left wondering what is going on and if the RJ story is over.  Is that the plan?  To leave the audience out in the cold, wondering?
