McAlister was a briliant RJ but the problem is that we didn't get any answers.
I would be disappointed if Partridge or Smith were RJ, cmon creepy forensic ghoul and chubby FBI guy.Jack Plotnick is a good actor but for RJ role i would vote for Mashburn, Haffner or Kirkland.
We had many amazing actors and they picked one of them, but the rest of the story in episode 6x8 was lame and disappointing.
Maybe Heller will make a new move and Jane will meet new archenemy in South America( Juan Rojo)
I see that people here accusing PJ for deaths of Stiles and Haffner. which is partially true.
But he is like this all the time.
Seems like people want soap operas protagonist: naive, stupid and honest, while antagonist is qualified for 9th circle of hell.
Perfect character, egoistic, selfish and ruthless. Ordinary human being.
But i will name few examples where he show his good side and empathy:
e.g.
- force arrested CEO to give money to a guy with sick wife
- hypnotize little girl who saw RJ and he could use her to discover much more
- help a sister to revenge her brother by framing motorcycle gang boss
- give money to casino dealer girl for her's mom surgery
- helped a sick women to get a new kidney
- hide the identity of cabaret "guy"
etc, etc
Anyway PJ is not perfect and that's why he is a good character.
Sorry for my "pigeon" English and thank you all for your theories
I don't know if this episode is real or not but if it is The Mentalist deserve better.
For years we had an image of RJ as Moriarty, genius that can manipulate and control anyone he want.
Charming, strong,brilliant and fearless.Guy who can control thousands of people from the shadow.
But enough about that.
This site did few positive things:
1. viewers become detectives and provide some amazing theories
2. We became interested in poetry(Blake) ,paintings,history,onomastics,geography,statistics..etc
3.We could see a lot of theories who showed amazing writing talent and imagination.
4. This was the place for learning and exchanging of opinions.
5. Place for academic discussion and improvement of written English for Non-natives like me:)
6. Amazing site
Mashburn was my favourite RJ suspect for a long time but after all this show, I'm not so sure.
I didn't take Rosalind description as valid and voice theories was stupid. Genius like RJ would use his real voice and give his enemy a big clue, c'mon.
I really don't have any idea who is RJ but as i say before it must be a person that posses qualities of PJ, Stiles and Masburn.
Lorelei would not fall for money or expensive gifts, so that man must be PJ No 2.
About the list: McAlister look like person who like PJ and others don't posses the qualities needed and Stiles is too old.
