LATEST THEORIES

Hi everyone,

please see below link to read a preview from spoilertv. the writer gives a few teasers which do not tell much but he also included a poll at the end covering all the legit suspects from the LIS7. However, maybe it's just a coincidence or he's trying to fuck our minds but there's a third option to what I'm going to reveal here which maybe he's trying to give us a message.

The sentence goes before the poll: *I'm gonna include all the original suspects, just to cover all bases.
JUST TO COVER ALL BASES.

Smith goes before picking the coffee: Are you always this thorough? Kirkland retorts: I like to COVER ALL MY BASES. Kinky right???

As an IT student, I have access to a huge ass computing farm. Therefore I tried to crack the code Cho fpund in Bertrams storage room by bruteforcing allmost every encryption method known to humanity for several hours until I got kicked out of the library.
However, it seems to me that it does not say anything. It will propably mean something for whoever cracks it in the show, but it is not meant to be decrypted by "one of us" as it is more or less senseless symbols.

I'm sorry if this has already been posted several times (I didn't find any, though) but I'm sure you guys and gurls noticed the person walking past the interrogation room (where Jane, Lisbon and Smith were in) who was whistling.

What was that? Why would the writers pull a random whistling (as it's kinda been a red herring thorough this season because so many of the suspects have been doing it) one episode before the final big reveal? What melody was the person whistling? Why they made it so obvious you couldn't
undetect it? Why Smith suddenly got so scared and asked if they are really able to keep him safe, when he saw (and/or heard) the whistlerer? Why did the person walk like Red John did in the finale of season 2 (very slowly and calmly)? Why the shoes he was wearing sounded just like Red John's boots in the finale of season 2 when they hit the floor?

Really, what was that? I'm throwing Kirkland's picture in just because the person seemed to have sleek black hair, even though the picture wasn't clear.

So this isn't an "accusation" as such, but I was just watching the pilot episode, where the murder is a Red Johhn "copy cat" and the killer turns out to be the victims doctor, PARTRIDGE actually works that case. He seems very enthusiastic about the whole thing, believing that it is in fact Red John, as Jane put it "You love your job too much... You're a ghoul", but Jane concludes it is NOT because the face was not in the right place. It's my understanding that Red John doesn't like copycats mimicking his "work" so I think the actual killer, the Doctor, would have been killed before he could be caught if Red John were Partridge, and that he would have been sceptical at the scene of the murder, which he was not.

-When Patrick's tea cup was broken, it had not tea inside of it. Look at the shot again. The camera focuses on the shattered tea cup but the floor is bone dry.

-How could Van Pelt not have known about the tatoo? You would think that since she had dated o'loughlin, she would have seen the tattoo.Her behavior is suspicious to say the least.

-We are out of suspects from the list!! RJ is either someone who we all thought was dead or someone not on the list.

-Stop with the Michael Kirkland talk. It is pure fodder from BH. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

How lovely to see how popular the "faked his death" theories suddenly got when everyone's favorite suspects died in the explosion leaving us with Reede Smith and Gale Bertram as the final duo to play with.

*Grabs popcorn*
