Brilliant episode. So tense !

Lucycat · 10/06/2011 22:15

omg Josh Lyman was Red John!

or was he......?

Fantastic stuff

domesticnightmare · 10/06/2011 22:16

oh i do hope so, he (RJ) looked and sounded insane, LOL.
what will Patrick do now? he will get off with self defense i assume, RJ had a gun.
is it too soon to hold out some hope for Rigsby's broken heart?
so glad i wasn't the first addict to post about this!

more to the point what will SB fans do on friday nights now?
anyone got spare box sets?

OfflineFor30Years · 10/06/2011 22:19

I think Dexter starts again next week on FX so that provides a bit of a fill until the next season of The Mentalist.

EnnuiGo · 10/06/2011 22:22

And Go ladies - with 3 x guns and their ornament throwing.....

EnnuiGo · 10/06/2011 22:23

I assume he was sitting there waiting for the phone call to say that Lisbon and Grace were dead - and to see Jane's face....

confuseddotcodotuk · 10/06/2011 22:24

Haha, I coulodn't believe that ending either! I'm looking forward to next season to see what happens!

And, I was so annoyed that it was a randomer! I was hoping it'd be somebody impressive! I did 'like' how Van Pelt was played though, I felt so bad for her :(

EnnuiGo · 10/06/2011 22:26

i always thought that Le rouche was straight up if a bit weird... glad that i was right.

I wonder if some of next season will be with Jane in prison helping the others from his cell...

EnnuiGo · 10/06/2011 22:28

I haven't missed an episode from the start.....i really hope that it was him....

bea · 10/06/2011 23:27

... and more to the point... what is in La Roche's tupperware box????

glad it's just not me! the ep was very very good!!! i actually had a shocked face on (fists at mouth!) during the end scene!!! yikes!

will have to watch more NCIS to fill in gap of american tv!!!

I'm glad he shot him at the end - I would've felt quite cheated if he hadn't , as he's always maintained that he would. Hopefully he'll get off with self defence.

CeliaFate · 11/06/2011 08:40

It was fab wasn't it? I clocked him when he had his newspaper up in front of his face and said "That's Red John". I thought he'd get away though, loved it when Patrick shot him. I would have liked to have had more of a conversation between the two though, to find out how Red John was able to get so many people to act on his behalf and why he did it.

Species8472 · 11/06/2011 09:54

Fantastic ending! Celiafate, yep I clocked him as well. I didn't expect Patrick to shot RJ but was really glad he did! Horribly creepy when RJ was talking about how Patrick's wife and daughter smelled when he was there to kill them Sad. Really hope it is actually RJ!

whatkungfuthat · 11/06/2011 14:54

I though SB was great, the look on his face when RJ told him what his wife and child smelt like was heartbreaking, a lot of people would have overacted that part.

I've read loads of stuff on other boards about PJ being RJ, and the supposedly compelling reasons why. I just don't buy it though as the show isn't that dark. Hopefully he did kill RJ and in the new series we find out how he was so powerful and connected.

whatkungfuthat · 11/06/2011 14:54

*thought

jellybeans · 11/06/2011 19:51

I loved the ending, so well done. RJ was fairly creepy. Great twist at the end aswell with grace's fiance. Can't wait for next series. I also think it may start with PJ inside. Anyone know when it starts?

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 11/06/2011 20:02

Season 4 airs in September in the US so I expect we'll get it next January. I must learn how to download shows from the US.

I LOVE The Mentalist and thought the ending was excellent, and brilliantly acted. Simon Baker is a gorgeous fantastic actor.

missorinoco · 11/06/2011 20:09

Patrick Jane being Red John? Wow, that's a good going conspiracy theory. I thought the point was Red John killed Jane's wife and child whilst he was on a chat show belittling him. Even if the timing fitted I agree the show's not that dark/twisted.

I was glad they didn't do the the Jane/Theresa Wotsit get together. It would have been a cliche.

Also wondering what they will do for series 4. I will be so irritated if they make that guy out not to be Red John.

OfflineFor30Years · 11/06/2011 20:12

There are some other theories about there being more than one Red John or that he was a puppet for some greater evil.... Lots of guessing to be had between now and next January!! Grin

NoseyNooNoo · 11/06/2011 23:16

I did say about a month ago that Van Pelt's fiance was the insider!

The bit where RJ talked about Jane's wife and child's scent was really good. Scent really places you with someone. Such a pointed thing to say and Simon Baker acted his reaction to that beautifully. Gosh, I love that man - swoon!

Saucepanman · 12/06/2011 21:19

omg finally someone I can talk to about this! I felt like I was going to have a heart attack watching the end, did not see that coming! I also said the insider was van pelt's fiance, knew when he did not save her when she was under fire. Don't know if I am more pleased with myself about that, or that I immediately recognised the actor playing Red John as having been in Adventures in Babysitting YEARS ago . I annoyed DH with my smugness Grin

I will NOT be impressed if that turns out not to be Red John though, in my mind will smack too much of the SAW movies.

mummyosaurus · 12/06/2011 21:35

Fantastic epidode, really gripping. Poor Van pelt, but may turn out lucky for Rigsby.

NoWayNoHow · 12/06/2011 23:13

That was totally Red John - RJ would have wanted to see Jane's face when he got a phone call to say his team were dead. Plus, he knew too much about Jane's wife and daughter.

However, here's another conspiracy theory to throw in the mix... Bradley Whitford, who played Red John, is a really well known face on US TV (he was Josh in The West Wing for 7 years, plus has done lots of other stuff). I don't think they would have brought him in for all of 5 mins at the end of the series. I'm wilingl to bet there's some kind of trickery there (maybe not really dead?) and he's still around.
