Who are your least favorite choices for Red John? Mine are:
1) McAllister - I will be very disappointed, even angry, if he is revealed as Red John.
2) Smith - Too brutish. He's enforcer type, not mastermind type.
3) Bertram - Too obvious with his CBI position, but also he is not smart enough. He is duplicious and politically smart, but he isn't cunning and charming enough.
4) Stiles - Would be too obvious, and too old.
5) CBI Ron - I would be annoyed if it were him.
6) Minelli - I've always thought Minelli was a genuine nice guy, I don't see him hurting anyone.
My favorite choices for Red John:
1) Kirkland - Dead. Would have been a wonderful Red John since he was such a formidable character. I am not excluding that his twin is Red John. I'd be okay with that.
2) Wayne Rigsby - I've never thought he was Red John, I've scoffed at all the theories that it's someone on Jane's team, but there was a real good Rigsby theory recently posted that actually convinced me it could be him. Now I'm almost going to be disappointed if it isn't!
3) Walter Mashburn - The parallel between he and Jane with Lorelei and Lisbon would be delicious.
4) Dean Harken - Formidable, controlling, and he has access to poisonous substances and a scientific understanding of poisons. He is also a red head and a jerk. This guy would be a solid choice for Red John and has long been one of my favorites.
5) Brett Partridge - I would LOVE to see him transform from creepy geek to criminal mastermind psycho as he is revealed to be Red John. I imagine his whole face coming off like a mask as he reveals his true self. He is my current #1 choice, and I believe that he is not truly dead. We did not see his body and if the people on scene work for him, then that makes it completely plausible that he faked his own death.
