What about the gunshot in the house? We have not heard anything about that. Maybe McAllister got himself shot on purpose so he could leave his DNA behind, making everyone think he died.

I'm not sure if I'm seeing things but when Lisbon found Patrick Jane after the explosion, it looked like someone walked past behind Lisbon, I think that is RJ.

Also if Haffner and Stiles are dead, then what was the point of that occult ceremony? Does it not mean anything?

About this episode's title:

This episode was called 'The Great Red Dragon'. When you look that up, it is a novel by THOMAS Harris. It is a book that involves a character named 
Francis Dolarhyde who has an obsession with the painting (William Blake painting 'The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in the Sun') 
Dolarhyde also develops a relationship with a BLIND female coworker named Reba McClane.



Also this episode I found Grace was acting
a little weird and suspicious. The detective said that an informant or sources at
the CBI told him that they were on their way (to capture Reede Smith), but only
Van Pelt and Rigsby knew of this. Grace also found Reede Smith's wherabouts pretty
quickly, looking at old case files. I mean how did she know to look there? I
really think she is working with RJ. She seemed very strange to me the first episode
of season 1 where she got defensive when her and Jane were discussing the afterlife and her cousin being psychic. She is a big believer in psychic powers and RJ seems to imply that he is psychic. She also called Patrick Jane a sad
man. She said "
you poor sad man, the Kingdom of God is a real place". She said it exactly how RJ would say it.

Plus she has red hair and
RJ has a thing for reds (e.g. Rosalind). Not only that but McAllister seemed to be fixated on her as well (second episode of season 1).


Finally the announcement of Gale Bertram as RJ by
Patrick Jane was a bit out of character. Don't you think he would not want to
alert anyone in case someone else killed Bertram before he got to him? I think he is using it as a way to get to the real RJ.

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.
