We actually had a taste before of what this show is without the Red John storyline. Remember the Tommy Volker case? It was very tiresome and boring..... not to mention in the end a little boy could have convicted him. This shows backbone is and will always be the Red John storyline. Unfortunately, we the people of this site are a minority compared to the "Jisbon" fans hence even if we boycott...... this show will still get enough viewers. To sum it all up in a sentence : Jisbon fans ruined this great show.
