LATEST THEORIES

Anyone else starting to think that many of the abusive comments the BP theorists have been getting (e.g. "BP is dead, get over it idiots") is coming from one general direction for one particular reason? Makes ya say, hmmm...

Partridge is dead . They deff checked his body but the mark on his arm is weird . Did he do it and was planning on leaving tiger tiger ? Did tt kill him and scratch off evidence or did rj scratch it off and why?

Guys,

The reviewer lady in spoiler tv, who already watched the 6 x08 episode almost explicity said that Red John is Sheriff McAllister. She confirmed that it is one of the 7 suspects on the list and she said "Don't overythink. The promo tells you a lot".  I love reading your theories, but at the end of the day , the sheriff puts the bomb under his hat, kills some of the suspects and appears again after Patrick announced a "fake" Red John deliberately. As simple as that.

There’s one unanswered theme that’s been repeated in more
than a couple of episodes. That’s Robert Kirkland and his question to people, “Do
you recognize me?”

He also has a twin that got involved with Red John, and he
purposefully changed his features so Red John won’t recognize him while he
pursues him to seek vengeance.

Who could his twin be? I think it was Brett Partridge, whom
Robert Kirkland never met.


Skipping a bit, there’s Brett Partridge’s  supposed dead body that has a chunk of his
left shoulder sliced off. It’s odd that you would slice off a chunk of a dead
person’s shoulder.  To what end? To hide
that the person was a Blake Associate? Why? To protect Brett Partridge’s legacy?
Not likely. To protect the Blake Association? Maybe, but if you already know
about the Blake Association and their tattoos, what good is cutting off the
tattoo? That body was a Blake Associate, but was it really Brett Partridge, and
if it was, he was a Blake Associate, and why would someone want to conceal that
he was?

I think Brett Partridge faked his own death, and replaced
his body with that of a Blake Associate, and he sliced off the Blake Associate’s
shoulder to conceal that it was. If it wasn’t for Brett Partridge’s supposed
dying words, they wouldn’t have known about “Tyger, Tyger” in the first place. It
was Brett’s plan for Jane to surface the Blake Association to get them off his
back.



Of the seven final suspects, Brett Partridge has the least
amount of positional power. You got Bret Stiles, the leader of a cult. Gale
Bertram is the Director of CBI. Bob Kirkland and Reede Smith are both FBI
agents. Ray Haffner was once a former supervising agent at CBI. Sheriff McAllister is the sheriff of Napa
County.  Brett Partridge is just a
forensic investigator. Seems out of place to be a final suspect, doesn’t it?

Now think about this. Brett Partridge knows a lot about Red
John (or thinks he does), but he’s been wrong in every crime scene involving
him (or his copycats). How does someone that seemingly studies Red John get it
wrong every time? Because it’s a game he likes to play with Jane. In turn, Jane keeps making fun of Brett Partridge, but gets no rise out of him (which is his intention). That's some pretty good self control. Now why would Jane keep calling Partridge a ghoul? Because he knows he is one, he just doesn't have anything to prove it.

At any rate, Brett Partridge is Red John, there's just no solid evidence of it, yet.

So after reading the article on TV Spoilers, I will post this here, it's the author's list of 'clues' that are 'spoiler free' regarding RJ and E08. Remember, this reviewer has seen the episode and knows who RJ is, but isn't revealing him (obviously!). So here it is...

- Someone using a phrase "your boyfriend" is gonna make a lot of fans happy.
- Some calls are worth so much more than $300.
- At least two people turn out to be much smarter than it seems.
- Some people just need an appreciation.
- Remember the clues? You should.
- "Hi"
- Someone gets to feel like Al Capone.
- It's always good to have Cho on your side.
- Some people are VERY determined to do their job.

Also, here's a link to the reaction video from Americ at HappyCool who does advanced reviews for Mentalist episodes. He doesn't spoil anything either!

How is it possible for some people to be burnt completely while others in the same room survive the explosion without any serious injuries? Hard to believe... Also, whose foot was that? 

I think there's more to come and Bertram is not RJ. Bertram is the head of the Blake Association and the file they found contains a list of all members.

I still think that Haffner is RJ. PJ announced on TV that RJ is Bertram just to make RJ contact him. Wouldn't be the first time for RJ to react to something that PJ says on TV...
