Who is Red John?

Theories of Wala (2)

So this is a continuation from my theory which I published after episode 08.We can be quite sure that PJ will start helping the FBI now, and very soon the good old CBI team will be joining them. This does look like a "new start" for the series, but the question is how it is going to play out. As I see it, there are three possibilities more or less:1. R.J is dead and we get no- or very little explanation for how, what and who R.J was and what happened to the "tiger -tiger" group. The series continues more or less as we know it, but now the main theme could be "P.J's journey to salvation and a new life" ending with him and Lisbon getting together.2. R.J is dead but we will get some closure. We find out who R.J was and how he did all those incredible things and the full picture of the link between him and P.J. also we get some more information about the "tiger tiger" group. Then the series continues more or less as mentioned in the scenario above. 3. R.J is not dead... P.J starts to work for the FBI (with the old CBI team) and at some point, he will be facing this red smiling face again, and everything starts over again. The series continues for perhaps one more season and finally ends. (He could kill R.J or they will both die together as P.J's life does not stand to recover and both their destinies are somehow strangely tied together. For P.J to kill R.J he must also die himself he realizes. As I stated in my previous theory I have a gut feeling, that the 3. scenario will happened, but this is more of a hope from my side. R.J does not have to be B.P but I need real closure, something that I will drill in to my spine and put a smile on my face.I believe that P.J will once again stand in front of a door, which he does not dare to enter, because he knows what awaits him on the other side.. A message written to him, not in English, words or letters, but in the language of Red John, where the letters are the thick red blood from his victims and the words are written with fingers as red smiling face.. "Did you really think that you were smarter than me Patrick?" ;-)Pleas let me know what you think

So this is my first post ever, but after this last episode I felt like I had to share my opinion on all this. (Sorry for bad grammar)

1. Firstly, I share the same feelings about how episode 8 played out, as many other on this site. But somehow I can understand in principle why Bruno would take this "god" like killer and transform him into a pathetic little man, who cant grasp the reality that he lost and shows his true colors...

BUT BUT BUT... When this is said, I must say that I have imagined how this episode would play out, so man times over the years, and not to mention how all the episodes with RJ made my spine twist and body explode with Goosebumps... This episode however had nothing like this.. there were no "Chill" or adrenalin kick, when McAllister entered the church.. As a matter of fact, I was not even sure that he was RJ when he entered, I almost asked my self "So he is RJ or??..." Well he was RJ, so I would expect some fantastic dialogs between RJ and PJ... naa lets make them run instead and make this a physical fight instead a mental battle between them.

So to say it shortly, this did not at all feel, act or look like a RJ episode.. So perhaps it wasn't?

2. Many have argued about whether it was RJ or not, if McAllister is the right RJ or not etc..

In my mind, this episode did not satisfy my expectation at all, and furthermore I don't really see McAllister as RJ materiel. Put it simply, he seemed to stupid. I could not in my wildest fantasies imagine, that this man could manipulate so many people, and even make some sacrifice their life for him?... The fact that he breaks down so easily, when PJ puts a gun to his face made me wonder... So every time RJ made a mistake or he faced some difficult time in his life, did he just collapse and started to cry?

All these questions, thoughts and disappointments tumbled around in my head for some time, and after reading some different theories on this site, all my thoughts and feeling turned in to a little seed in my mind, which started to flourish in to a flower... A hope awakened within me as it has in many also...

I imagine that at some point, when the FBI catches PJ In a later episode, one of Lisbon's crewmembers will go missing (Cho, Rigsby or Van Pelt) and at some point, PJ will be standing in front of a door in a narrow corridor, which for some reason he hesitate to open... He gets the same feeling like he did that day, when he came home to find his wife and daughter... He opens the door and stares paralyzed in to that smiling red face :)... And under this face lies the missing member as a statement to PJ; " Did you really think that you were smarter than me Patrick? ;)"

This is just my little hope for what is to come.

Please tell me what you hope will happen next.
