I just have seen Mentalist 6x08
What can I say? I was absolutely disappointed and still can't believe it was "a great end of a great Red John story". And I don't believe Heller has been planning this stupid ending for five years! It looks so torn apart from other seasons that I can't imagine how it can be at all. I don't even tell about loose ends, I tell about RJ's personality. It's absolutely out of character we've known for years. This begging for his life coward is RJ?? This genius, this mastermind was so terribly scared as if he never thought about this possible situation?? If Heller wanted to make me laugh he's exceeded. I never laughed so hard in my life - especially when I saw RJ trying to call 911. So if it's a funny joke then I can accept it, otherwise
I really think Heller just wanted to end this quickly because he couldn't put all these ties together. He created too many clues and became confused himself. The most unprofessional thing is that there's no clue leading to sheriff. It was one-ep character and nobody even remembered him. Now we are told "He was Red John! Just take it and be glad". No. I've been expecting much more! I wanted to see the points and look back in the past for searching. But now I have NOTHING. It seems to me (like to many other fans) that at first it was Partridge for RJ. But when he became too popular as a suspect, Heller decided to change him. Well, maybe it was his vision of an "unexpected and exciting ending" but it looks like a clumsy and unsuitable patch to cover some big scenario holes. I refuse to take this as a part of Red John's story.
Rest in peace, great Red John. You died in unequal battle with the writers :((((
I just can't understand WHY Heller decided to show RJ this way?? Red John had all the opportunities to become the most incredible, remarkable villain ever - but now it's the saddest and pitiful old man who's afraid of pigeons. Heller just threw away an exciting, thrilling ending of a great 5-years long story, the final showdown between two equal rivals - and I can't imagine why...
