Hi guys..the Red John ending and the shows new direction, is seriously depressing me right now and there's only one thing that could save the show for me. Bring HIM back!!! Here's some food for thought...Thomas McAllister went to Brett Partridge to copy his DNA, well what if Bret Stiles and/or Ray Haffner also done this. Stiles was by far the most interesting and charismatic character, with the best background story eg Visualize etc, but is boringly killed and straight away forgotten about, mentioned maybe only once or twice? If RJ/McAllister was a member of Visualize would he so willingly kill his god like figure like that? I reaallly hope he is brought back and we get a Jane VS Stiles battle in the finale AND we actually get answers with some history and flashbacks. At this point I'd even settle for the people's choice, Brett Partridge, rather than the pathetic, balding sheriff who is terrified of pigeons, phones 911 and is that stupid he even has an incriminating tattoo, which he somehow reveals to a person who could identify him!?!
A good storyline, I think, would be to have the Rigsbys working on a Visualize case and to stumble upon evidence that Stiles/Haffner is still alive. Or what if we see Grace secretly meeting Bret, the great mind behind the RJ persona and her boss the whole time, and they begin plotting another elaborate plan to torment Patrick once again. Also, one final point is I thought Kirkland was a brilliant character this season, and the whole twin twist would have made a really interesting storyline, but no, the writers just seemed to give up and lost their imaginations after this episode... Please Bruno, don't leave it this way!!!!
