Fans have some questions about Frye
Taking to the subreddit r/TheMentalist, u/Soiree1999 (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMentalist/comments/rvc08g/what_do_you_think_of_kristina_fryes_relationship/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) started a poll that asked fellow fans about their opinions on the Kristina Frye and Red John dynamic. The options were that she was in league with Red John, a follower of the serial killer that did not take direct orders, a fool who underestimated Red John, an earnest person who thought she could actually change Red John, a schemer who plotted to capitalize off of Red John, and an "other" category for unspecified thoughts.
After 168 responses, a victor was emerging with 90 votes: that Frye was a fool who tragically underestimated Red John. The second highest option earned 58 votes — that Frye was earnest and simply doing what she thought was right. Considering that these were the clear winners in the informal poll, it would appear fans have some rather polarizing thoughts regarding the character. According to the picture the poll data paints, viewers see Kristina as either an honest individual, or completely delusional.
u/MaggieMay-19 (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMentalist/comments/rvc08g/comment/hr7wwsm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) clarified their position, saying, "I think Kristina Frye was 70% foolish, 20% trying to enhance her own reputation as a psychic and 10% delusional about herself." Other commenters had their own thoughts (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMentalist/comments/rvc08g/comment/hr4jz2d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), arguing in favor of one option or another.
