If Reede Smith is Red John, I swear China will finally snap and fire nukes at the USA - CBS Headquarters. I hope they target Heller's house too if this is the case. Yes Britain, you're not getting off the hook that easy.

Wohoo:) Red Diamond said me in a tweet that he knows real Red John. He gave a clue saying watch 666. And He also said that Red John does not hate Jane anymore but loves him more than himself...What do you guys think? Comment.

Remember Bruno Heller told us that it was important that Partridge die when he did.  I think Partridge often faked forensic reports for Tyger, Tyger so that members of the organization could get away with it.  What if Lorelei wasn't actually dead?  What if Partridge knew that because he was lead of the forensic investigation?  Maybe that's why he had to be killed off.

Just had a dream about Reede Smith being Red John.
Better drink my own piss.

Imagine that Bruno Heller is surfing in this site :D

I think Red John is Reede Smith because it is the only way to make The mentalist more disappointing then Dexter

I don't WANT Smith to be Red John. But I think that's exactly what Bruno Heller may have done.
I'd much rather have Bertram as John. Stiles, even. Or Ron. Or even McAllister. Resurrect the original Season 1 Red John, Brett Partridge. Hell, go with the silly Kirkland twin idea - ANYONE but Smith.
Still, Smith may turn out to be the one.
A few months ago Bruno Heller said that viewers would be disappointed to learn Red John's identity. Well, can you pick ANY random character from the entire series that would be more disappointing than Smith, the stupid, obnoxious, foul-mouthed troll introduced in this season, or maybe the last one? (No, I don't care if it turns out that "he was only pretending" and "was actually completely different". The persona we got for a number of episodes now is that of an idiot troll who curses. If he's revealed as Red John, then we're forever thinking of Red John as an obese goblin we're used to. That's it).

Additionally, FBI plays a huge role in the "Red John" episode. Well, who happens to be with the FBI?
Smith's character is already listed in the episode, too; it's been prematurely revealed.
Finally, and I think THIS is the biggest reason, he's the least popular choice among the viewer. Thus, he is the least expected one - and that, I believe, would be why Bruno Heller may want to have Red Smith. However, if THAT is his line of thinking, then he's making a disappointing mistake... Smith is NOT rarely named in the "Who's Red John" polls by people as Red John because he is so improbable. No he's rarely named *BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS HIM AS RED JOHN*. Amen.
