In reply to Ronak. Probably my only complaint about the entire series is the red john reveal. It was completely clear that they did not know he would end up being red john when they introduced him. He was just another idiot Jane messed with, and for some reason they decided he should be the reveal (I guess because nobody would ever expect it?). Soo... if they were going to do a revival, I would kind of like this to happen, though at the same time it kinda sucks to break back open that plot when it was already getting kind of long-winded. Idk.

The mentalist was an AMAZING show, and Simon Baker is a brilliant actor, but I don’t think it should come back. It had a really nice closure with Jane and Lisbon’s relationship and everything. I just can’t see myself being happy with anything they would tack on to the story.

I’d sell my kidney for a new season tbvh. I want to see if the made it work, how it turned out, see them running after new serial-killers (one that kidnaps Lisbon), maybe open the CBS once again or a new one, adding Hightower as the head of new police department etc – I am sure over the “break” and years the writers could come up with new ideas and plot twists. There is tons of potential left open, but knowing my luck that’s really the end despite the producer saying, it’s up to Robin and Simon and an available Networkstation. I just hope, if we do get one, it will happen in a few years and not in like 10 years while the cast ages and are therefor more likely to never return or they’ll ever consider a Mentalist 2.0 reboot with a different and new cast. A Mentalist without Cho, Lisbon and Jane is no Mentalist at all and a tragic ending isn’t needed either ( at Simon saying he wished for one) –
I’d rather have non than a ruined one.

But oh well I should stop ranting and dreaming the chances are slim, the actors are all doing other works and 2/3 year have passed already.

(Seriously, why did CBS cancel this brillant show and why is Netflix not picking it up even less interesting shows got a revival, but mentalist….no?)

Revive the series it was fun
They could add a plot twist saying Thomas was not red john but it was someone else and thomas took the blame to still make the blake association move on maybe with another name
