OK, I just watched episode 16. 

More grinning and giggling from the FBI as Jane runs around playing dress-up.

A hint of romance for Lisbon.

Some swarthy, bearded baddies. They really should have had them dressed in pirate costumes.

Oh, and a murder victim who seemed quite eager to be shot over a painting of his wife.

The episode ends with Jane looking forlorn while Lisbon and her new b/f head off for an all-day breakfast diner.

Poor Cho looks as though he really doesn't want to be there any more. I know the feeling, pal.

Looks like the end of the road for this once great show.

Certainly, it is the end of the road for me. I will watch the remaining episodes in this season, but then I am out of the game UNLESS the fix this mess by episode 22. I see that BH is listed as the writer, which means they want to wrap-up the whole thing with some sort of elegance. But my guess is that they will drop some sort of bombshell in the last episode - something to give us hope. Maybe a red smiley-face? Even if they do, it will probably come to nothing.

If the they want to fix the show, the must do a number of things.

At a minimum point, we need to see several questions addressed:

1. Who is Red John?

2. Where is Lorelei? She must be alive, as evidenced by the tape of her naming the list-members.

3. Where is Kristina Freye? Is she RJ? If not, how did she know so much?

4. What is the relationship between RJ and Stiles / Visualize? How did Stiles know the whereabouts of Freye?

5. What made RJ a killer?

Perhaps RJ watched a TV show for six years but felt betrayed by the producers in how the convoluted plot was resolved. Unable to cope with the awful show it became, he began to kill people to relieve his tension and disappointment?
