LATEST THEORIES

I saw this great theory:

I think PJ remembered this when his cup broke :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5-H9QGov4Y

I think he is now sure that it is the twin brother of Bob : Micheal 

no way on earth it is Bertram.
--------------------

But what if Jane was actually realizing Micheal is his link to finding Bertram.

the episode makes no logical sense. It is assumed that one of the 3 people with the tattoos is red john. Then, one of them dies in the explosion. OK till now. But why on earth are we supposed to believe that RJ wasn't the sheriff? Why the fact that he randomly died in the explosion cleared him of suspicion, and the prevailing assumption is that one of the other 2 is RJ? RJ cannot die in an explosion? :)

Also the explosion itself doesnt make any sense. Who would benefit from it? If red john is responsible for the explosion, and he is one of the suspects, then he risked his life and the life of his followers with no apparent reason. Is he a suicidal maniac?
If red john is not on the list, still he risked the lives of his followers, and why would he do that? Since he is not in the suspects, and he is clear, why make such a bold move? If it wasn't Red John who planted the bomb, who did it? Noone had interest in killing all those people in that house, or randomly putting their lives into risk. The only explanation I can come up with is that RJ is responsible for the bomb and that both PJ and Blake group are trying to catch him, so he found the opportunity to take them out at once, which both contradicts Reede Smith's testimony and also breaks the 'elegant killing touch and signature' of RJ throughout the years.

Can someone pls explain to me who would put the bomb and why?
thank you

Come on folks!!! No one found it the least bit odd that they only showed Partridge's arm??? And not only did we not see his face neither did Cho!!! It was also proven tonight that none of the team ever bothered to look at Partridge's body before tonight.

I find it funny, how the same people who have been telling us Partridge fans to stop posting because he is dead, dead, DEAD, are now the same people claiming one of the other 3 dead guys is not dead and faked his death...DNA and all. I am more convinced than ever that Partridge is in fact, RJ!!!!

Bertram is not RJ, in fact RJ is a woman

Why would PJ send all law inforcement in a manhunt of the man he wants to catch and kill? he doesn´t need a national hunt for Bertram if he wanted him he will deduce his whereabouts, find him and kill him, PJ actions towards Bertram,  do not fit at all, at list after he drops he tea cup, what fits to PJ MO is to give a false lead to have everyone looking and wanting to catch Bertram who is in fact a killer and a crooked cop and needs to be found and put away ,  meanwhile he can get  RJ and kill him with out interruptions or anyone stopping him. Of course Bertram is a Killer , who other type of people would help a serial killer other than a sociopath.

Cheers Folks!!

Think that only Gale Bertram is the only one remaining in the list of suspects? think again. Here is the new list of suspects:

- Brett Partridge: He was in the same room with Lisbon and RJ before he "died". We didn't see Cho check the face of the corpse, we didn't see his death on-screen, and the cut on the corpse left shoulder is interesting. He might be still alive, and he is my prime suspect as RJ.

- Michael Kirkland: The twin brother of Robert, technically on the list since he looks exactly like Robert, not confirmed if dead or alive, so he is on the list.

- Bret Stile: The body found was burned and charred, and linked to Stiles via DNA only. The writers gave this the time and effort to be explained in the episode. Also Lisbon said that she thought even a nuclear bomb wouldn't kill him. So he is still on the list.

- Gale Bertram: I don't think that he is RJ, but he is still alive and he was on the original list.

Now at the end of the episode, we see some scenes from a church, which I think are symbolic. I am thinking "resurrection", which could refer to either Bret stiles, Kirkland, or Brett Partridge who are thought dead. Stiles promises that he will return during his ritual. Also "III", which might mean the three remaining suspects other than Bertram, or the three dots in the Blake Association's tattoo. 

Also, there are events that weren't shown. Who fired the shot at Jane's house, and how did the explosion happen?

Such a disappointing episode....

First you give us a list of 7 suspects, and then you obliterate 3 of them within the first two minutes of the episode? You don't definitively prove that any of the three that we don't see in the episode are dead. You don't show Partridge's face in the episode when his shoulder is being checked? YOU BETTER BE READY TO GIVE ME EVERYTHING I ASK FOR IN THE NEXT EPISODE because I was totally let down by this episode.

This episode practically gave me NOTHING. There was hardly any suspense, hardly any tension. I was never at the edge of my seat. EVER. WHY NOT? I expect to be "eyes-glued-in, fidgety, and nail-biting" for all 40 minutes of the episode, but I was bored. At one point I actually caught myself spacing out, staring out of my window at a freaking bird. WHY HELLER? I've always been enthralled at the RJ episodes and I love the RJ saga with all my heart, but this episode hit rock bottom. 

Out of the 40 minutes of actual scripting, I was only on the edge of my seat for maybe 2 seconds, and that occurred when Bertram visited Jane in the hospital. Besides that, there was nothing...

I'm sorry that I'm posting such a disappointing review, but that's honestly what I felt. And I've never felt this way before when RJ storyline has been the central theme to an episode.

Jeez Heller, you better have something major planned for this 8th episode of the season, or there will be a ton of disappointed fans (maybe not; maybe I'm in the minority when I say that this episode plain out sucked). 

Let me know what you think about episode 7.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH COME ON HELLER. PLEASE SURPRISE ME. DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING. PLOT TWIST WOULD BE APPRECIATED. PLEASE DON'T LET BERTRAM BE RJ. PLEASE PLEASE NO.
