The Mentalist: 7 Bogus Suspects List

 

 

 
 
 
 
 







Bruno Heller said that one of the 7 suspects on Jane's list IS Red John. Gee. I guess that means it's T-R-U-E. Because he would never lie to protect a story line. [that's sarcasm]

Think about it for a second.
 If the "List of 7" is just another decoy in the massively long list of diversions we have already seen in all the years  of the Mentalist, how would Heller answer the question: "Is Red John really one of the 7 people on Jane's list?"

What's he going to answer?
 "No. We are completely messing with you. So don't bother to watch the next 12 episodes that we have created, at huge expense and that revolve around this 7 person list. The entire thing is bogus."
He can't very well say that.

If anyone is actually thinking that someone on that list IS Red John let me ask you, have you even watched the show?!
All of The Mentalist is about misdirection.

 

 

Right now the Mentalist is at the top of the ratings chart, which means it will not be cancelled for at least another couple years. There is no way the TRUE identity of Red John is going to be revealed before the last episode. The creators/writers have a lot of time to kill (Pardon me. I mean "fill")

 (How quickly you all forget). Already they have revealed one Red John and Jane killed him. Then it's "Oops. That wasn't the real Red John".
So now they bring out a list of 7 potential Red John's. What makes you think that any of them are the real one either?

How do you even know that Lorelei Martins actually met the real Red John herself? Maybe she only met another of Red John's agents.

 
 
 
For those of you who are ready to use your grey matter and really dig into the topic of who Red John is,  then follow the LINK below to a serious discussion of this topic. But be warned. You will be required to think beyond boundaries, accept nothing at face value and look in places and at characters that are not on any one's list.

And made sure you read the COMMENTS section (at the bottom of the post). That's where everyone can voice their opinions (even anonymously) and it gets pretty interesting and intense.

On this blog I've done several posts about The Mentalist, but the LINK below will take you to the one where Red John's "true" identity is revealed, along with convincing video proof.
 So please take the ***SPOILER**** warning seriously. Once you know it, you can't go back.

EW: Inside TV (full Bruno Heller Interview) 


(PORTION OF INTERVIEW BELOW)


Below, creator Bruno Heller answers our burning questions about the finale and beyond.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: After all that craftiness on Patrick Jane’s part, Red John is still a step ahead of him. So can we really trust that the list is accurate if Red John is so willing to confirm it?

 Bruno Heller: Yes, we can trust that list. As much as much as Red John has been one step ahead, Lorelei Martins’ intervention changed the game. So as much as Red John is trying to play from a position of strength in reality Jane has gotten a lot closer. This last episode of the season really sets us up for next season: The hunt is on, no messing about.

Once again, you’re making moves that make me wonder if Patrick Jane is Red John — after all, how else could he know that memory from inside his head? But by saying Red John is definitely on the list, can we rule out the theory held by some fans that Jane is actually Red John?
Heller: I would say that definitively: Jane is not Red John.


**How would you answer those questions if Red John is NOT on the List and Jane IS Red John and a multi-billion dollar show is hanging on what you answer?
(time will tell if Bruno Heller is telling us the truth.
 Consider: If a magician doesn't tell you he has a rabbit in his pants, is that a lie?) L-L
