An apparent admission of love, and a surprising death on the season finale of ‘The Mentalist'; but was it really all that it seemed?
After quite a dry spell of Red John goings-on on ‘The Mentalist’, “Red Rover, Red Rover” brings him back into the fold, and Jane’s reaction takes an unusual turn.
As is usual for ‘The Mentalist’, I don’t want to go into the case of the week so much, but since there was some Red John goings-on, let’s talk about that for a moment.
I know there are a great many people who not only hate the fact that Jane didn’t kill the real Red John last season, but hate my favorite theory: Patrick Jane is Red John. But this episode screamed in support of it.
Really there are only a couple of main points I wanted to quickly mention regarding this episode. And, of course, they’re Red John related.
Plenty of people jumped all over me for doubting Bradley Whitford as being Red John. Here, have some crow; I hear it’s delicious.
After three seasons of wondering and guessing, the third season finale of ‘The Mentalist’ finally revealed Red John to be … Bradley Whitford? Not likely, I say.
