I'm not sure any of the seven suspects is dead yet.
And Lorelei Martin is likely to be alive as well. How else could she record the tape with the suspect list before Jane even came up with the names?
Brett Partridge could have been Red John faking his own death. I mean, if you were Red John, and wanted to throw off Jane and Lisbon, what better way?
Or, as far as Bob Kirkland, how do we the twin working for Homeland wasn't really Michael, and Michael was the one who got killed? That way, Bob could still be Red John, despite was seemed like a pretty legit slaying. Also fits Homeland Kirkland asking Red John associates, Do you recognize me?
I mean, it CAN'T just be some process of elimination, where The Last Man Standing is Red John. Too pedestrian.
True, Heller said: " I can tell you it won’t be a sort of Ten Little Indians type of of set up,"
But how about instead of one faked death, we're going to get a whole bunch? They're all Red John associates, fitting the Seven Dragon theory thingy whatchamacallit Blake poem.
Maybe Bob Kirkland (not dead) will turn out to be the only one who is not a Red John associate, and turns up alive to be the one who actually catches Red John.
I'm just saying: This cross-off-the-checklist kind of plot isn't cool enough for a show that prides itself on twists and turns.
Somebody's coming back from the dead!
Jane is always tricking people with scams and stunts. Why not Red John? Hey, he already got Jane to kill a surrogate.
Oh, and what is Van Pelt's role in helping Red John? She leaked the suspect list, and Patridge supposedly gets killed. She was supposedly watching when Christina Frye got abducted by Red John. It might even be Red John's idea for her to marry Rigsby, so she's in touch with as much intel as possible? Who changed the fraternizing rules? Was that Gale Bertram?
