You know, I already really liked this song but somehow Sam always manages to make me love music even more. :)

Okay...before I type out the notes I was taking while watching the season finle of The Mentalist...I just have to get this out of my system real quick


*deep breath* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Can I just say...I don't believe that. Nope, nope. The writers are pulling one over on me. Curse them. No...I still...I just want my theory to be right. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how the rest of the show plays out. Maybe next fall will be the final season of The Mentalist.

Okay, tantrum over, here are the notes I took. They are very scattered as I just wrote random thoughts while watching the episode, but hey, it works.


Here we go...


From the start I'm suspicious of Jane's behavior. He could be breaking or he could just be acting like he is breaking. I think the latter is more likely.


He punched that cop on purpose.


Six months is a good amount of time to establish a cover. He wants to draw Red John out, turning the tables on him.


This can't end well. Red John would kill this girl just for falling in love with Jane. Also, Lisbon walking alone at night...she's crazy.


The girl...I think she might be a trick. Yep...literally 5 seconds after writing that she admits that she is a friend of Red John's. Saw that one coming ha ha.


Does Lisbon know Red John? Nah.


I knew it! He IS faking his breakdown.


Luther is talking about ane and thinking of doing a little outreach (which is EXACTLY what Red John is doing). Lisbon's words surprise him when she says Jane needs to be left alone.


Red John wants Teresa Lisbon's dead body. Interesting when combined with his encounter with Lisbon before.


Luther is surprised to see Jane when he leaves the elevator. I think Jane is going to fake Lisbon's death.


"Goo luck, Teresa. Love you." :)


It's a plan, all of it is. Rigsby is not dead, that's the John Doe.


Luther is suspicious of the whole thing. That FBI lady is back too. I don't trust her. She is going to mess things up somehow. She is going to go to Luther with this and that can't be good.


Shoot...they are getting arrested.


Red John has a good friend in the FBI. Found out when they did.


It's a decoy (the car) he won't be in there.


OH. MY. GOSH!


Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Curse them. I wanted it to be him so bad. I still want to think it's him, like he's not really dead. Why didn't he struggle more, try to warn Jane? I really hope/want to believe we haven't seen the last of Luther Wainright. That seemed too...I don't know, rushed and weird. They didn't lead up to it at all, it was just suddenly Luther in the car bleeding. Nothing to suggest how they got a hold of him etc. If Luther isn't Red John he is still involved somehow and probably still alive...but I still really really really really want him to be Red John. Nothing will satisfy me after my brilliant theory. I am so disappointed right now. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. Well...we'll just wait and see. I hope they don't make me wait a whole entire other season for new revelations (big ones). Dumb writers. :/ You know what...you know what...I'm writing the rest of the episodes for them and they will ALL be about Red John. Yep...it's a plan.

I am now sitting down at my computer to view tonight's episode of The Mentalist. The promo for it has shown a lot of promise for more Red John clues seeing as Patrick will, once again, be going up against his nemesis. I am going to write this post as I am watching the episode so spoiler alert for anyone who has not seen it yet. Ready for excitement? Ready for Red John? Alright...lets begin. :)

Okay, this is just at the very start and it's a small thing, but the little girl in the grave yard feels like a small clue to me. Children can be very trusting but, at her age, they also know not to talk to strangers or get in their cars so they can bring them to graveyards. It would make a lot of sense, however, if the girl trusted him because he was a cop. Children know to trust policemen and authority figures (even if that's not always the best thing for them...especially when that authority figure is a serial killer in disguise).
Okay, pausing again (5 seconds later). Since when does Luther show up to a crime scene? He also says that "Red John or someone claiming to be Red John" brought the girl to the grave yard. If he goes over to the girl and she doesn't recognize Luther then I would say it was the later. Red John has a lot of followers to hide behind. Jane upsets Wainright when he hypnotizes the girl so she won't remember and then threatens him to not question her. He might be mad that Jane is acting in a way not according to his plan or he's just playing the part.

So after Jane burns the Red John files, Wainright and Lisbon are talking out in the hall. He says he thinks it was a cry for help and he just wants to "find out what the issue is." I don't have much on that but I feel like it could be important. They are both talking to Jane now so I'll resume and get back to you on that one. Okay, so Jane says "He's [Red John] right. It's time to give up." and Luther says "Seriously?" Not sure why but him responding like that seems weird for some reason, like he's digging. I think Jane just wants to throw out the idea that he is off the scent to see what Red John does. As he is saying all this, Luther is standing quiet in the background, watching him carefully. Of course it could just be a concerned boss, or it could be Red John trying to work out what Patrick's game is.

Okay so we don't see Wainright again until after the investigation for this episode has ended. Lisbon is taking Jane there now so maybe there will be some more tidbits to add before this post comes to an end along with the episode. Jane: "Yes, I crossed the line. I had to in order to get Marks. If you don't get the bad guy then what's the point of all this." Luther: he doesn't say anything but there is an interesting and confusing look on his face that I can't translate at this moment. Then, when Lisbon suggests he take a time out, Luther suspends him and then angrily says that he will personally recommend that he not ever be allowed back as a consultant. This is interesting to me. Luther is reacting strangely. It's almost as if Red John wants to take away the one thing Jane would keep in his life so that he is forced to dwell on him again. Then when Jane insults him, he gets so angry he runs at Jane, ready to attack him. That kind of anger in a man like Luther Wainright is either acted out for the benefit of the unsuspecting people around him...or it's based off of more than a few insults and one bad move on Jane's part. There is something far deeper going on inside that man's mind.

I'm not sure what Jane being fired will bring and I was hoping there was going to be a lot more Red John stuff in this episode than there was, but it still told me a lot. I was suspicious of Luther from the start but as we have come along, I've gotten even more so. He is present in episodes and moments that he isn't necessarily needed in and now this sudden attention to him and his anger at Jane (especially since he has been patientand accepting of Jane's behavior up until now)...the writers want him in there more than many of the other bosses have ever been. Luther is an important piece to the Red John puzzle and I am still inclined to believe that he is THE MOST important piece.

I'm pulling this from the Mentalist wiki because I found it interesting and it ties into this episode in particular: "He has fascination with Jane -- to the point where he would risk getting caught to see what Jane will do. Red John is a major narcissist and is extremely angered by people acting like they know him, even more so by those who lie about him, which was clearly shown when he killed Jane's w Jane was insulting him, acting like he knew him by calling him a "mama's boy" etc. That is one of the things that angers Red John. As for the other part, the idea of risking getting caught to see Jane's reactions, that is something that made me suspect that Red John would stop using pawns and move into the game himself (one of the reasons I find that Luther would be an excellent candidate for Red John).

Adding more from the wiki: "His known accomplices have mostly been closet psychopaths who are able to appear completely normal, but all have some sort of criminal past. This to the point that Jane even refers to John's accomplishes as "Disciples". Once again, Luther's past in psychology kicks in as well as his connections to the criminal world through law enforcement. He is very good at convincing people to do what he wants them to...to trust him.

"Red John is also extremely intelligent (again like Jane), as seen from his being able to hack into theCBIcomputers and watch the agents' actions for quite some time without being detected. He can also set up phony companies and bank accounts to keep his identity a secret. Finally, Red John is a master manipulator, which is evident in his ability to get people to trust him (as seen with his accomplices)." Luther is a smart young man and he has the proper training and connections to accomplish all these things whilst remaining undetected.

Until the next update, dream of Red John. :)

*If you don't yet know what my theory is and you want to know, the following are the few posts I have made so far involving this theory. It's ordered from the most recent post to the first post (the actual theory).

Mentalist theory update

O_O (the theory)

It's been a long time since I have auditioned for anything. In fact...the last time was almost two years ago (right after I graduated college) when I jumped right into the shark tank and auditioned to be in the Denver Center of Performing Arts company. I should have known it was too soon for such a huge leap.

I signed up to audition for a performance of Godspell, at the Cadlelight Playhouse in Loveland, just a few days ago. The audition is on Monday...in another couple of days. I am terrified out of my wits and yet, I am excited. It has been so long since I've done any Theatre and I miss it so very much. I don't know if I'll make this show or not but no worries. I am working on an only slightly secret theatre-like project involving Shakespeare that I'll have to keep me happy this summer. If I do make it into Godspell, I'll have my hands full trying to do this project as well but I am committed. It is a role I have always wanted to play and seeing as no one around is doing the play...I am going to put it on myself. I know...I'm probably a bit insane for wanting to take this on.

Just to give you an idea about how excited I am about this project, I should tell you a few things. One, I have already worked out a plan for how things will be run (audition wise and what not), I have already pretty much memorized all of my lines, I've made a blog/youtube for the recorded version since this will be the first in hopefully many performances to come, and I've designed a poster for the play. If my plans fall through...I will be a very sad person indeed. Of course, I will pick myself up and try another route (kickstarter) within a few minutes of my failure. The show MUST go on...for my sake and for my sanity's sake.

This will, hopefully, be a fun and theatre filled spring/summer. I guess I should get back to memorizing my audition monologue now (it would help if I didn't keep changing my mind about which monologue I wanted to do). Talk to ya later nerds!

Spoilers (of course).

So Agent Darcy is going to try and prove Jane to be a follower of Red John huh? Well she has her work cut out for her. More importantly, however, why did Jane's boss react so strangely? He laughed when she called Jane a psychopath but then when she accused Jane of working with Red John he seemed more reserved and somewhat amused. Of course he then calmly says he will cooperate fully. His reactions to these situations are always so strange and they keep bringing him back into things when he isn't entirely needed there as the boss. I don't doubt my theory as of yet, it still stands. If you don't yet know what my theory is and you want to know, the following are the few posts I have made so far involving this theory. It's ordered from the most recent post to the first post (the actual theory).
