I remember when the episode leaked, I watched it and couldn't believe it and I even bought the final episode on iTunes because I couldn't wait for a streaming link which I didn't even watch the episode again but simply scrolled through it to sadly be proven wrong, it was the real ending of the Red John story line.
Since then I didn't watch a single second of the Mentalist anymore. Today I came back to this website, i don't know why, and your comments confirm that I was right to stop there.
Just needed to share my still vivid bitterness ::
