I think Heller totally screwed the pooch on this show. The fact that he could not write a show where when you looked back, you could see the "evidence" against Red John is inexcusable.

Now they are going to waste what? 12? shows on some half assed denouement. 

My husband came up with an ending I could be happy with: we go through all the BS with Lisbon and Jane's relationship and as he is carrying her over the threshold of a hotel room, you look on the bed and there are red rose petals in the shape of a smiley face. Fade to black.

I would be 10x happier with this than any dreck they are going to dump on us. 

I do like, though, that they have not named the last episode. I shouldn't hope, though, should I?

BTW, I thought Bradley Whitfield was a much better RJ than McAllister. 

And I am still holding out for something else with Pike. 

Cheers to the new season! At least Simon Baker's smile will still be there!
