LATEST THEORIES

Ladies and gentlemen.... We GOT HIM..
It's an honor to introduce you to Red John. Let's give a wonderful applause to CBI RON.
This showman wanted his face in almost every scene.
That bald Bertram wanted to kill Jane, Jane wakes up. Bertram escapes outside and breaks his phone, and look who is there the master of all trolls. CBI Ron, he is just saying 'Hey boss!!' just walking into the hospital.

Yet again another scene, I honestly thought this was fking creepy. Reede Smith is telling about the Blake Association. Well well well I've heard one of the most creepiest whistling in my life, CBI Ron yet again just trolling and walking in the hallway whistling. Reede Smith looked creeped out, he was just telling he doesn't know who Red John was.
FBI walks in, yet again CBI Ron right there. I'm a troll, just a regular CBI agent. Catch me if you can, you don't even know who I am.
Dafuq why was he coming to the hospital?
Bertram is not Red John, he killed the bartender but he didn't even thought about putting a face on the wall. He is just one of the grrrrr Tygers :P.

One thing though I have yet to see the bodies of the bombings, but they said they had found remains of the three suspects. And we had the honor to see one of their foot. YUCK lol.

The Partridge body was obvious that left shoulder was the place of a wonderful tattoo. I thought it was disappointing though that they didn't let us see his face... This Bruno Heller is a troll too. Somehow when Jane mentioned the name Partridge it was kinda thrilling I can't describe the feeling.

I have liked this episode a lot more than the previous episode, my heart was pounding fast the whole episode long.
In the last scene when Jane sat in the church, I was quite scared. I expected to hear Red John's high pitched voice.

ANOTHER WEEK..... Bruno dude what are you doing to me?

Mercy, really? Does the Red John we all (soon will) know and love really looks like someone who would ask for mercy?

I had been writing theories how it was Minelli but people dint warm up much..so I surprisingly started to drift towards Partridge..but the balding figure in the church looks so much Minelli-sque.....search my minelli theories please and comment..

Well I have something to say...I was a Partridge fan,I still was until yesterday,he is dead in the corps and from the promo we see a balding looking man appearing to be Red John,also the voice nothing like Partridge. So,I rest my case...Partridge is not Red John 

From the promo it is obviously Thomas McAllister.

For a number of reasons:

 



1. In terms of the DNA found in the explosion, this
episode just established that Tyger, Tyger have resources at their fingertips
to call in a favour, no questions asked. It's conceivable that McAllister made
the call, as Red John or pretending to be someone else, asking for his DNA to
be switched in for the forensic analysis, and for the burnt crisp to be
identified as him. After all, if there truly are "hundreds" or
"thousands" of members of the Blake association, and this episode
showed that nobody could be trusted, I think that the positive DNA
analysis would be a very thin argument against his
survival.  

 



2. In terms of the explosion itself, he was
positioned (presumably still in the same position when the bomb went off)
alongside the other two suspects that survived, so unless he moved across the
room for some reason, the most you'd expect is that he would have been hurt by
shrapnel, but not burnt to a crisp like his supposed corpse.

 



3. General mannerisms during the confrontation. The
smile directed at Bertram and Smith as soon as his back was turned to PJ, the
fact that he was really the only of the three suspects with tattoos that shared
a brief conversation and moment of connection with PJ after revealing the
tattoo- looking him in the eye and saying he wasn't RJ seems like the kind of
thing RJ would consider a victory, if he managed to fool PJ once again. 

 



4. The actor's voice in other shows he's been in
has been shown to have the capacity to vary in pitch and sound quite similar to
the RJ voice.

 



5. For obvious reasons: the screen shot everyone
has of the 6x08 promo window break, and the nice Sherlock work shown in Theory #11952.


 



I would personally be quite happy for it to be
McAllister, not wanting to go over too much old ground with the whole Bertram
being too obvious now/Red Herring, and also that the showdown should always
have had that real twist to it, and this definitely would, much more so than
Bertram in my opinion. Although I do have to wonder at the people who put
together the promos for TV shows- unless it's a deliberate attempt at
misdirection by having McAllister in it, did they seriously not think that
people wouldn't be so eager to know the identity of RJ that they wouldn't comb
through the promo bit by bit?

 

Anyway, feel free to critique/criticise, I'm all
ears for other arguments.

wow the promo is better than the whole last episode in my eyes.
we know that red john is rather old, but still not too old to run away from jane and he jumps through a window. so he has to bit kind of fit.

from the hair we can exclude all people but, mcalister, stiles (maybe cut them short), minelli (how long have we not seen him, maybe he got old in the meantime) and someone everyone has forgotten judge manchester. 

the hair fit all of them, but if we still trust heller with the list, only can be mcalister or stiles. but stiles is too old to run and jump like that.

manchester was not on the list, no one here could have guessed him. minelli was always suspicious but he was not on the list too.

and manchester would be too diffiucult to guess. but i think that manchester is a higher member of the blake association. also that dude from austin texas fbi has a hand in blake.

there is one interesting shot in the internet, where the guy who jumps looks like mcalister, also a pic where you can identify his hand.

but the voice fits manchester better than mcalister or minelli, even though both some how are close. stiles is not even close.

also manchester is really old to be a young man at the barn, he is the age of stiles, if not older.
