Ok i am gonna start small. Do you find it plausible that there is something up with gvp? Or do you find it plausible that the show is showing that there is something up with her. Thought the dramatic scenes we always see her face on camera and nobody else . After the fbi dude said his bit it was all her . What are they trying to tell us? Gosh darn foreshadowing driving me crazy

Ray Haffner is Red John. His father is Stiles. Bertram brought a tiny bomb to the house to let them flee so Stiles can play dead. Haffer has arachnophobia, not acrophobia. Julia misspoke. And Heller is a hack.

No way in hell they woulda showed sherriff macalister in the promo if he was red john so hes not him. Bertram is far from rj. Patrick did that to lure him in. The voice is nobody we could think of. Nobody talks like that! But its someones true voice that they have been hiding ...wonder who?

Patrick knows who red john is. He is "letting go" because he know he did what red john wanted. Take down tiger tiger . Van pelt is either red john or his daughter . You all called me crazy when i said red john wasnt on the list and guess what!!! We need to see what happened at Patricks house . Red john is not the sherriff. Anyone from tiger tiger is not red john. Rj used them to get a witness killed. Who is the perfect kizer sose ? Heller said we never saw it coming ? GRACE VAN PELT IS RED JOHN!!!!!

We can see here that Red John is wounded http://o1311.hizliresim.com/1h/l/unkm2.jpg  :


Whoever Jane shot before the explosion is RED JOHN and i believe it's Thomas McAllister.

But what happened there? Did McAllister attack Jane? we hear someone scream NO WAIT!,you wont have time to say that because if someone attack Jane he will shoot instantly!.

The episodes going so fast leaving so much behind.

Looks like the ol' Sheriff is Red John, based on the curious hairline of the man Jane is chasing in the promo for "Red John" (episode) next week. Bertram is probably just a final misdirection.

It's sort of disappointing. I mean, I guess in a way it makes sense. Wears the kind of boots RJ wore in the S2 finale. Smells of "pine and earth" like Rosalind Harker described. Good whistler. Has a phobia. Fits together. Guy even prefers to refer to Patrick on a first name basis, wants to be friendly with him, gain his confidence.

My biggest problem, though, is... who is Thomas McAllister?! I mean, he's in the second ever episode of the show in a non-RJ-related case, has NOTHING to do with Red John, doesn't even appear in person again until this season. Why was he even on the suspect list to begin with?! He's a nobody! But not like, you know, a "yeah, he's a nobody, so he's perfect", but just a NOBODY. That's like Red John being, I don't know... the Russian gangster from S1, Shirali Arlov. What a random character to make RJ. The writers might as well just admit they themselves had no idea who it would be until now.
