I've just posted a theory accusing Gale Bertram. I'm very convinced it's him.

BUT, I can not stop thinking about Kirkland Brothers.
1. Why Bret Stilles protects Red John? My only explanation is that Michel Kirkland was Stilles's pupil.
2. About the scene in which RJ cathes Lisbon (6x01 "The desert rose"), maybe RJ had caressed Lisbon in the face to show his empathy on her alcoholic father.

Bruno Heler is so genius!
I hope you understood, my english is not good enough.
Thanks!

I previously posted this so dont get mad ..Gnosticism is the key to this all. William blake was a proclaimed gnostic. Gnosticism is basically that God is really the devil(masculine) and Satan (feminine) is really God! Think about the male dominated police force of tiger tiger . On the surface they are good and the law but really its an illusion . Red john is feminine . He she has been a scapegoat for all wrong in the show but its not true . The great red dragon is without a doubt a woman. The mother dragon. Satan is the divine feminine energy that is rising not only in this show but in reality! Take a look around in culture its impossible to ignore the female energy rising in the world. Gnosticism was what jesus and his dicisples studied. Mary magdeline was the key to it all. Then the male dominated roman catholic church took that religion flipped it and made zillions , started every war , and is the cause of thr most deaths in history..

So, Jack Plotnick aka Brett Partridge emailed me. He just wanted to thank me a lot for the support but sadly he doesn't mail autographs. But it's cool that I had a conversation with my favorite RJ candidate. I hope you have better luck than me. If you thought I was going to say that Jack told me he is Red John you will be disappointed.
Have fun with episode 7

I don't know about you guys but I am super excited about tonight however I have changed my mind now about us knowing who he is at the end of tonight. I don't think that will happen or it will be misdirection mind you I think the promo about the truth uncovering a bigger lie is just the Tyger Tyger organistation so maybe there is no misdirecton.

Anyway I'm not from the USA so I will be watching a live stream so could you please tell me about how many hours there are left till its on. We recently changed our clocks back so I no longer know what time it's airing. I don't want to miss it.

GOODLUCK EVERYONE! Hope it's worth the years

hello folks (PJ style if you like).
  the hour is upon us now. and it is upon heller as much as it is upon PJ. And not just in way of meeting his nemesis face to face. He ha a reputation to live upto. I would not begrudge Jane if he just finds out yea it was sherrif mcallister or bertram in the end. However, I would think, hey Patrick is that it? I mean you have kind of betrayed us. After 5 years of wit and your histrionics which amused us so much, you reduc e us to this? seriously man. you never revealed your simplest of silly thoughts and plans right until the end of a silly (rip the poor souls) homicide cases. We liked your rainwave and how we knew you'd delight us with your smarts in the end........we always liked it mate.
           And now, when the biggest chase of our lives is concluding, we are bored? Its a damp squib in a manner of speaking. I wonder how better it would be if you and heller would have lied all this time . You to lisbon and heller to us about the list. Hhow I wish it was another fake list like the one you supplied to Bob. I can myself follow the 3 dots trail and shotgun or no shotgun seriously. You better be playing the ultimate game of chess here mate (aussie style). And take everyone by utter surprise including the man RJ himself..


so dears, there goes my open letetr to Jane. Thats what I men here. see whatever the outcome, they much aw us. I mean there are 11000 theories here. so alleast 110 can hold some water i guess.. so there can be so many ways heller can put the pieces together so no point in following lame clues. It is sensible only if heller is able to take whichever way he does and the writers do and satisfy us. Thet have said 172 things over the last 5 years abt the rj case and some more 136 things audience have interpreted alleast here in this forum. so heller's job is to rope them up in the best possible manner. its a tought job to be fair to the team.
   But the best part is that its gonna be revealed. wait, hell, the best part is that the story and Jane is gonna continue. so all is gonna be well god willing.

cheers all m fans..

Theory #11671 • By GardenGnome
Show this theory

All but one of the 7 suspects are/have been in law
enforcement. If Red John really is/was in law enforcement, then he cannot be
Bob Kirkland’s twin brother. Bob would have recognised him with his access,
determination, and investigation into California law enforcement. If Red John
is/was not in law enforcement, then the list is fake/not correct. This is on
the assumption that we’ve ruled out Stiles, which I think is reasonable.

So: if he’s in law enforcement, then he cannot be Kirkland’s
brother, nor Kirkland himself. It’s clearly not Bob considering his face-to-face
interaction with Patrick Jane in the cabin, and the fact that he’s dead. Even
if his brother is dead instead of him, it still rules them out as Red John
suspects definitively. Michael wouldn’t sacrifice himself if he was Red John
and Bob wouldn’t have been searching for his brother if he was Red John, which
he clearly was doing using Red John suspects as clues. We also rule out Stiles
here.

If he is not in law enforcement, then the list of suspects
is not correct, or it is Stiles, which I can’t see happening.

The final option is that he is in law enforcement and that
he is neither of the Kirklands, and not on the list.

So go forth and discuss – is Red John in law enforcement?
Just think about this question without any prejudices about any favourite
suspects you might have. Once you’ve answered that question to yourself, think
about the implications for your theory/theories and what it means to the list of
suspects.

Personally, I don’t believe that Red John is in law
enforcement. Why?

Guys!

I am so torn between watching the final three episodes and waiting a bit longer...
I missed most of the first 3 seasons and never did go back and watch them. Now that the series is ending, I kinda feel like I'm cheating by not waiting until after I've caught up.

On the other hand, I really want to watch tonight!
Agghh, decisions.

For the record, I think it's Haffner.
