The Mentalist

 SPOILER ALERT if you ever plan on watching this show and don't want major SPOILERS
then do not read.

"The Mentalist" = 47
is a show mainly about catching a guy named
"Red John" = 74...

47 / 74.


The Mentalist debuted on the 267th day of the year

"The Blake Association" = 267 [bacon]
(name of the vast criminal conspiracy Red John created)

It was a leap year, it's usually the 266th day of the year

"William Blake" = 266 [reverse bacon]
(where the Association gets its name)

"Thomas McAllister" = 266 [bacon]
(the real name of Red John)

"Brett Partridge" = 267 [reverse bacon]
(a crime scene tech. on every/most Red John murder scenes)


That's the day that leaves 99 days in the year

"Rosalind Harker" = 99
(blind woman that had a relationship with Red John
and who helps the protagonist identify the real Red John)

Kira Tinsley played by an actress named
"Beth" = 99
(Tinsely reveals the final clue that leads to catching Red John)

Lorelei Martins played by
"Emmanualle Sophie Anne..." = 99
(Martins plays a key roles in leading to Red John)

"Tunney" = 99
(actress name of the female lead)

notice a lot of important females in the show have the 99.

"O'Keefe" = 99 [bacon]
(name of victim in the episode where the guy that turns out
to be Red John first appears).

"Bob Kirkland" = 99
(cop that also goes after Red John for personal revenge).


The show revealed and finished the Red John saga
in the episode that aired on the 328th day of the year.

"Blake Association" = 328 [reverse bacon]

"Shand Creek Winery" = 328 [reverse bacon]
(key location in the episode where the guy that turns out
to be Red John makes his first appearance).


That's the day that leaves 37 days in the year
(37th prime is 157 ...and 37 is the 12th prime)

"Sheriff" = 37 / "Sheriff McAllister" = 102 (12 w/o the zero)
(Red John)

"Napa Valley" = 37 / "Napa" = 102 [reverse bacon]
(Where McAllister/Red John is the Sheriff)

"J. Roth" = 37
(a fake name Red John used that wound up helping
Patrick Jane identify the real Red John)

"Alexander Harper" = 307 [reverse bacon] / "Thomas" = 102 [bacon]
(the actor that plays Red John / Red John's real first name)

"Red Tattoo" = 37
(The Red Tattoo is the episode where the key clue is revealed
by Kira Tinsley that helps identify Red John)

"Ray" = 37 / "Haffner" = 157 [reverse bacon]
(Ray Haffner was one of the final five possible Red Johns,
turned out not to be him)

"Plotnick" = 37
(actor name of Brett Partridge, another of the possible five)

"Reede" = 37 / "R.S." = 37 / "A.P." = 37
(character name/initials and actor's initials of another of the possibles)

"Corrigan" = 157 [reverse bacon]
(actor name of another of the possibles)

"Lisbon" = 37 / "Robin Tunney" = 157
(character name / actress of the female lead)

"Baker" = 37
(actor name of the male lead)


Again, 37 is the 12th prime,
William Blake kicked it on the 12th.

"Jane" = 12
(surname of the main character/protagonist)

"Emmanuelle Chriqui" = 102 / "Lorelei" = 102 [bacon]
(actress name/character name key in catching Red John)

"Reed" = 102 [reverse bacon] / "Ray Haffner" = 102
(actor name/character name of one of the possible Red Johns)

"Gaston" = 102 [bacon] / "Gale Bertram" = 102
(actor name/character name of one of the possible Red Johns)

The Red John reveal episode aired on a date with 12 numerology.


The Red John conclusion episode air date was also a date
with 48 numerology two different ways (standard and multiplication).

"Tyger Tyger" = 48
(from the Blake poem and coded greeting between members
of Red John's Blake Association)

"three dots" = 48
(the tattoo that Red John and Blake Association members have)

"Michael" = 48 / "Gale Bertram" = 48
(actor name/character name of one of the possible Red Johns)

"Patrick" = 48
(character name of the main character)


It was also a date w/68 numerology.

"Xander Berkley" = 68 / "McAllister" = 68
(actor name/character name of Red John)

"winery" = 68
(involved in the episode where the guy that turns out to be
Red John first appeared).

"Teresa" = 68
(character name of the female lead)

"Bruno Heller" = 68
(show creator/writer)


The series ended on the 49th day of the year.

"Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry" = 490

"Teresa Lisbon" = 49

"McAllister" = 49

"Chriqui" = 49

"Corrigan" = 49

"Bertram" = 49

"pigeons" = 49 / "ornithophobia" = 227 (49th prime).
(Red John is eventually caught because of his bird phobia
and a swooping pigeon).


That's the day that leaves 316 days in the year

Tim Kang (plays the character Cho) was born 3/16.
steadiest/least changing character int he show.

316 makes people think of John 3:16
and the Red John saga conclusion began in a Church.


And then there's a couple things I noticed like...

In s2e4, the episode titled, "Red Menace",
an actor named Mac Brandt (RED haired) plays a character named, "Xander"...
The character named McAllister (sort of like MAC and is also RED John)
is played by an actor named, Xander...


In s2e23, there's a character named "Margo Ketchum", who is apparently insignificant in the plot?
This is the episode where Jane first comes face-to-face so to speak
(same room, tied in chair) with Red John.

Margo Ketchum... Mar...GO... CATCH 'EM ... get it?


And then the main victim in that Margo Ketchum episode is named
"Marley SPARROW"... Remember Red John's bird phobia... and in this episode
where Jane and Red John first "meet", the victim is named
"SPARROW"... Wow.

Cheers!
