Who is Red John?

Theories of PJisRJ (2)

Its good to start and see the suspects more, we’ve been
seeing alot of Bertram lately. In episode 2 we are introduced to ray, reed and sheriff,
of course we haven’t seen any of bret styles yet but thats definitely
coming.  Its still very hard to be sure
who is RJ as there is only one!  In
episode 2 RJ spared Lisbons life, either he changed his mind, or couldn’t go
through with it. Maybe he like Jane has feelings for her. I suspected Ray
Hafner for several reasons, he in her dream conscious was the one who murdered
her; when he entered the hospital to visit Lisbon he had a weird way about him,
which hes always had. almost like its RJ. They way he smirks, and reads Lisbons
nerves without a sense of fear, only a person guilty and RJ would be fearless
in face of confrontation, almost still like a game to him. He says something
off as e leaves, ‘’ either way we will have that meeting’’ or something along
those lines. Also though we never realised but we saw alot of him in the CBI
visiting Bertham or whoever. RJ is  always close keeping an eye on things.



That scene where they are all sat together in bertham office
 confirms the fact that it cant be any of
them. Sheriff looks clueless, reed seems like a uncontrollable temperamental
cop but not a genius, and bertham is far from it yet deep in it... he may even
be next on RJ hit list.



Conspiracy theory I think is as follows: Berthram, reed and
the sheriff are all controlled and monopolized by RJ. He as many say has
evidence one them being corrupters, and so they must comply, its like berthram
for the 2nd time reminds Jane to keep him up to date with the case.  Not sure where Kirkland lies in this, perhaps
hes RJ new second man or he’s against RJ ( for his own reasons). Bret styles is
somewhere in this yet we don’t know, is he good or bad. To be continued..thats
my take....



Its hard to really know whats going on, the writer has been
really smart up to now, hes thrown all sorts of clues to keep us wondering yet
we haven’t seen the half of it yet, thats for certain.

All hail The Mentalist!

SHAKING HANDS WITH THE DEVIL

     
Shaking hands with the devil can mean that you have subconciously or conciously made a deal with someone. Shaking hands with the devil also means getting to know or meeting evil for the first time. Also, partaking in evil for the first time.
      
      Now think about Lorelei's quote from character perspective.

    "I only wonder why the two of you didn't become life-long friends the moment you shook hands..."
      
      Red John's followers obviously hold him in the highest regard, as in the worship of a deity or supernatural figure. .
God,Devil..so on. They are willing to do his biding.
(die for him too? Tim Carter anyone?)....
      Case and point: The "shaking hands "clue"" doesn't rule out
PJ as RJ. Lorelei may have slyly been referring to PJ's initial transformation or mental break into the murderous Red John.

      PATRICK JANE: "I'm not under any curse."
TIM CARTER "
Doomed to an endless, angry search for a vengeance you'll never have; I would call that a curse, wouldn't you?"

       THE LIFE WE COULD LEAD
 
    The limo scene: Season 4 finale:
The voice of RJ was that of Simon Baker. A simple pitch correction reveals this. Once again here's the link...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq4c7ZSwYh8
It's possible the conversation was scripted/recorded. Scripted through hypnosis...who knows...doesn't matter. Click the link. Listen.
 I'll wait here.
    It's also worth noting during the scene
the voice of Red John says "..imagine the LIFE we could lead..It's a higher path.."
Shouldn't he have said "LIVES we could lead?" Remember scripts are drafted, edited, rehearsed, etc. And ADR could've fixed this if it was a misreading on simon's part. It's no accident RJ referred to himself and Patrick sharing 1 singular life.

         PATRICK'S FAMILY MURDERED WHILE HE WAS ON TV
   
      These scenes had obvious cuts. Were also flashbacks weren't they..
No indication of linear storytelling. Your mind wants to place them in the order you're seeing them. I find it easier to believe it was Patrick Jane acting as Red John who killed them.....rather than believe Red John happened to be watching tv at a particular time, a particular channel, and was in close enough proximity to get there, murder, TYPE and PRINT a letter, all before PJ got home.

        I can't seem to disprove PJ being RJ. And though some people may not want to believe it. Evidence to the contrary keeps stacking up...
Oh no...your beloved Patrick...LOL
            I hope it's him..i admit. Red John killed Panzer after PJ was staring at that blinking red light...
             PANZER to PATRICK JANE: "How can you live with such duplicity?"

Enough of the "oh he has a red boat/shirt/blah blah blah....
    
  I still hope/can't disprove PJ is RJ. More evidence toward PJ than against in my opinion. Mental disorder, hypnosis whatever the case..
  
  I don't think the series will end this way. Too much of middle america would be confused and never get off their tractors again. And too many lonely women wouldn't be able to drool over simon anymore. LOL 
    I think it'd be great though and give simon baker a chance to show off some acting chops...
