Question: why do people here believe every quote Bruno heller gives is true?

He has said RJ was one of the seven suspects when asked. If RJ is not one of the seven what answer do you give to that...? "No he's not on the list, just skip the first 7 episodes and watch the reveal"?

At the end of the day heller will be judged on the plot, not his honesty in interviews.
It's in his best interests to misdirect us every way he can.

Two questions I'm hoping someone can clear up:

1) what character from season 2 returned in the last episode? Because I didn't see anyone. There was supposed to be someone right?

2) In fire and Brimstone, Stiles has his gatherers all around for his "ascension" then it flashes back two days prior. Does that timing add up?

I'm starting to feel seriously disappointed by the writers and especially after seeing Brett partridges corpse. I hope there is an incredible twist because so far this season has sucked.

In 6x08 promo Jane was chasing a man very similar to Macallister, and meet someone in church whose sound is very similar to Bob\Michael Kirkland, so here is my theory about what is going on there.
I think Macallister survived from the blast, he must be because he stands against the wall, and everyone in this side survived.Jane Bertram Smith survived the blast very healtly, so he couldnt be dead. He and Stiles\Haffner escaped.No one dead.
Macallister knows Bertam'll go after him as he went after Reede Smith which i dont understand why. So he left the flashdisc in the storage he knew the team will find it.
While Bertam came to the storage the woman called him ''Thomas'' and storage was full of wines (Napa Walley).
He gave a message to PJ(by the flashdisc)  to meet him in the church, and tell him something important.
Rj has an eye on Patrick all the time, and he found out they're gonna meet. And try to stop Macallister,it was RJ whom was chasing Macallister. And killed him before he meet PJ, and go there by himself because there is no one left in that list and PJ announced Bertam already to the public. So RJ thinks he won.
But PJ has a different plan as always and has been playing his own game since the beginning and waits for the moment he reveals himself holding the trophy..
It could be anybody dead in the list..Each one of them has a strong stories\ theories behind. But i'im going with the Kirkland because the sound of RJ is very similar to Kirklands.
But I'll be more happy if Ray Haffner is RJ. He is the one whom I think RJ uis ntil this time..

I can assure you that Gale Bertram is NOT Red John.When Jane reveals at the media the name, I realized it.Jane wouldn't give Red John so easy, especially after the reveal of the "Blake association". He would try to track him down and kill him instead.

Bertram tried to kill Jane.Red John would never do that except he was 100% sure that Jane identifies him and he CAN kill him.Remember that Red John tested Jane's reaction in the reveal of Timothy Carter's as Red John.He knows how is gonna happen and he wants to prevent it in his 'fight" with Jane.Moreover it would be the stupid finale that everyone is gonna HATE.
Finally, I want to point out that Bertram runs away because he knows the two possibilities:
1)Surrenders and is killed by Red John or an accomplice in the 'Blake association",
2)Runs away to protect himself.
The thing that puzzles me is why Oscar Cordero is so willing to help him escape and not just kill him as it was going to happen with Reede Smith.

I found something that could explain everything when I mixed every dumb theory.
Bret Stiles gang banged the aunt of Van Pelt, then every spermatozoon fused all their DNA and produced a superpower psychic abandoned to a con father at circus.
But his Evil Plan didn't work and he turned out to be a wonder boy.
Then Bret tried again and Red John was born with a little more consanguine farmboy's sperm.
That could be explain everything :
Red John could be a twin, a father, a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, all at once, and he can fits every stupid theory you are making.
He can even easily fake his death apparently it's a common thing to do when you are a common smart psychopath.

A Fan-Fic of "Red John."

Patrick Jane confronts Gale Bertram as being Red John.  He shoots him in front of the CBI team.

A funeral is held for Gale Bertram.  The CBI is regaled for killing Red John.  A shadowy figure comes to Bertram's funeral.  He is bald. 

The FBI suspects that the funeral is a show funeral. Jane has shot Bertram in error.  Jane has shot Bertram just to serve his blood lust for killing Red John.  Jane is off the rails.  Bertram is not Red John.  They have proof.  They are ready to convict Jane of killing the innocent Bertram. 

They are ready to serve Jane with the crime of murdering Gale Bertram when the CBI team suddenly produce Bertram in handcuffs.  The shadowy Bald man attending Bertram's funeral suddenly sprints away from the grave.  Jane pursues him through the graveyard.

It turns out it was not Bertram's grave they were digging.  They were digging up Bob Kirkland's grave.  The man inside Bob Kirkland's grave is indeed Bob Kirkland, but he has been dead for several years!

The shadowy man Jane pursued is Michael Kirkland, Robert Kirkland's brother, who has been posing as Bob Kirkland since his brother's death.
