People kept on saying that they dragged the Red John storyline on long enough, but for them to introduce another love interest in Patrick life is quite pathetic, after the season 6 finale, even though it was horrific, puts an end to wether or not he will get together with Lisbon . 

One thing I don't understand is that Heller said that "Up until now if you're comparing it to Moby Dick, which is one of the analogies I used to describe the length of the chase, next season the whale has been sighted and they're in the small boats and chasing the whale", isn't that what he said about Red John at the start of season 6.

Bruno Heller if your going to make season 7 about Patrick and Lisbon's love life, just give up now
