My original pick for RJ was Minelli, but since the release of the list, (assuming its real...not so sure!), I've been a McCallister girl. I LOVE Xander Berkeley - he's great. I also love the idea of Rock, Paper, Scissors as the handshake (each literally shakes his fist, then lays out RPS. ) So clever, plus it was on screen, plus it was the kind of playful battle of wits RJ would be interested in. Plus, McCallister is a potentially charming character and I love the idea of RJ being established early in the series. Adds such "symmetry" to the series.
So many great theories recently have discussed the many clues hinting at McCallister. I'll add to the mix...maybe he is mar...he is Marshall McCallister...unfinished! yes! but Marshall is another title for sherriff. The Tyger, Tyger puzzle piece is tougher to explain. I can only imagine that the symmetry here lies in their background, perhaps. Was RJ a victim of parental abuse, a kid who was raised in foster homes...or maybe RJ was a victim of a crime pre-Red Barn that turned him into a killer, or is the symmetry simply that by killing PJs family, RJ is turning PJ into a killer (like him)? Because PJ is certainly still emphatically stating his intent to kill RJ. That's certainly symmetry.
Other predictions:
PJ will not kill RJ, but Lisbon will.
Hightower is back in the picture because of some kind of pressure...possibly someone swipes her kid
Kirkland is a victim of RJ and has considered PJ to be a legit suspect for nine years...hence the surveillance by Homeland.
Kirkland will be killed
One or both of the newlyweds, Rigsby and VP will be killed (sorry, short honeymoon)
An event at the Red Barn was the genesis of RJ and it involved Visualize. Stiles knew about it, but was building Visualize and looked away, not thinking RJ would grow into RJ, now, too late.
Haffner and Bertram and Reede Smith are good guys, but there is something inside the CBI that ain't legit.
The clue in Epi 1? Ack. Not sure...the birds or the clown face. And where in the world is Sean Barlow? And is Kristina Frye a total loss/dead end? Anybody have any thoughts?
Anyway...that my pennies and while I like McCallister for it :), if Partridge rises from the dead, it wouldn't surprise me, so rock on Partridge fans. LOL. At this point, nothing would. Can't wait til Sunday.
