Well people i think it is highly unlikely that CBS people are that much dumb that they would reveal some serious info in a promo! The guy that is seen crashing in the window looks more like bertram and not Mcallister!
Also I am still hopeful that we are in for a treat and a huge surprise in the next episode..All those pics that everybody has put up dont prove anything..Also the scar that is put up in the pics is not seen in the promo..So calm down, let your nails grow for the next episode! ;)

Just a thought.. please tell me what you think:


Why on earth would their be such an "insignificant" character since season 1, who still occasionally appears in the background after 6 seasons?

If he's not RJ himself, he has got to have some major link to him. Makes no sense to me! 

Besides, his first appearance was in season 1's episode, SEEING RED. Just sayin..

Anyone else agrees?

Cmon people, Lisbon said Haffner, Stiles and McAllisters bodies were found burnt and that DNA matches that.

One thing that I found curious was that in the Extended Promo for the next episode there is a pigeon (partridge) on the statues hand. I hate the theories that Partridge is Red John but isn't that strange? Plus all the pigeon's appearances on the first 3 episodes of this Season.

Also what was the shot before the explosion? And how can the 3 be dead if McAllister was alongside Bertram and Smith and they have no injuries whatsoever from the explosion?

Finally in the extended promo we see a bald guy with little grey hair running through glass and everything, as McAllister is dead and Bertram is on the run I'm sure it's Bertram. One of the most important skills in Mentalism is cold reading and a very special scientist named a study and effect after his own name: The Bertram effect (a.k.a. Forer effect.)

I just compare some pictures of promo episode 8 and I was shocked, Red John is Sheriff McAllister. Until today, right now, I do not believe in this hypothesis, but now seeing ... has no other: Red John is Sheriff McAllister!!!

I’m sticking
with the idea that Heller was telling the truth that RJ is one of the original
7 suspects from the list. Figuring last nights episodes, here’s where I was and
now am with that list.

Reed Smith –
Not RJ. We got to have him “be” RJ for a few moments in this episode, so there’s
no way the big reveal in the next episode will take us back to him. Also, Jane
ruled him out clearly.

Gale Bertram
– Not RJ. Before yesterday, he seemed one of the top 3 likeliest. Having him
reveled as RJ in ep.7 makes it near impossible that Heller will have the big
reveal in ep.8 be that it is Bertram. No way is it Bertram. This means it has
to be one of the dead people.

Brett
Partridge – He has always been the easiest to rule out since Lisbon actually
watched him die and even watched him after he died. Now add to that Cho seeing
him in the morgue. No way that two “great” agents mistake a dead identity…Granted,
the director probably purposely didn’t show us Partridges face (I assume they
didn’t want to pay Plotnick to pose there) because they want a few people to
think he could still come back. Clearly though, Partridge is still intregal to
the story in some way.

Bob Kirkland
– Since RJ must be one of the dead people, I guess his chances are as good as
anyone’s and we still don’t have a reason to the “do you recognize me?” stuff.
But Seems Reed Smith’s comments probably rule him out.

Stiles,
Hafner, and McAllister – I think our list is narrowed to these three. Of our
dead people, these are our best chances for false death identifications. Hafner
was always my least candidate, but I think this puts him and McAllister almost
at equal footing now with maybe even an edge to McAllister. The side of the
room the 3-dotters were on seemed to be the safest place to be.

Also, the
gunshot wasn’t explained and we didn’t seem to get a fair goodbye from Malcom
McDowell, which I think tells us that more happened during that blast than we
know and will be explained in the next episode.

 

I also now
allow for any of the 7 characters to be RJ, because of the cheese factor. The
series is well written, but I forgot that the show does sometimes get into the
cheese factor..the group being called “The Blake…” so cheesy…so maybe they’ll
do something cheesy like mysteriously bring Partridge back from the dead and
use the cliché creepy forensic guy twist…
