LATEST THEORIES

Go back and watch the season opener.
In the desert rose I think we see the most convincing taunt by patrick .
Watch the way that jane looks at partridge and listen to sound of his voice. The rest of the season he plays games with the suspects only Partridge do I see what appears deeper and much more emotion behind his interaction . I think jane knows it's him and look at eery feeling Brett has as he's beginning to see the same thing . Think the season opener and season opener to end of red john begin with jane and Brett .

This is my third different accusation.

We know that Bob Kirkand was on a mission to identify Red John.  A person looking like Bob Kirkland killed Jason Lennon, a person known to be able to identify Red John.  Since the killer did not ask Lennon to identify Red John, the killer must have been Michael Kirkland (who already knew Red John's identity).  Therefore, Michael Kirkland is Red John or working in behalf of Red John.  In my opinion, he is Red John.

As we draw near to the solution of "Who is Red John?,"  I'd like to note that it has been a lot of fun trying to unravel all of the clues.  However, Bruno Heller's place in history will be determined in part by how well he crafts a believeable ending and whether he can keep up the momentum for the rest of the program's run.

Even though I believe Red John is still alive, I'd like to point out that the proper question may be "Who was Red John?," since he may have already been killed.  Also, it is disappointing that Lisbon did not attempt to find out what was happening just before the explosion.

I can't think of ANYTHING ELSE besides The Mentalist this week. From pushing school and a social life aside for the week to simply theorize and read, Heller has me centralizing my life on his show. And if you're feeling the same way, then you have to agree that Heller is a genius. I constantly read how people believe that they can do Heller's job better than him, but if he has you 100% captivated by this RJ culmination, then you really need to reevaluate your decision.

He has been able to keep this RJ thing alive for six years. He has been able to drop the most obvious and the most subtle clues. He even narrows the list down to 7 (I think we can safely assume that the list is not another red herring). After EVERYTHING HE GIVES US, we're still bringing the dead back as RJ (not saying there's anything wrong with that!!). The point is that HE KEEPS US GUESSING. So regardless of how "OBVIOUS" you think the character acting duplicitous as RJ is, HE'S NOT! 

That's why Heller deserves a bit less criticism and a bit more praise (in my opinion). 

P.S. This is not Bruno Heller lol.

NOW CONTINUE YOUR THOUGHTS AND THEORIES.

- Disculpen, no hablo inglés.

Reed Smith, Thomas McAllister, Gale Bertram y Ray Haffner tienen algo en común: no son Red John.

De los 3 que restan, el más probable es Bob Kirkland, el siguiente es Brett Partridge y por ultimo Bret Stiles. La historia permite que cualquiera de ellos esté vivo y sea Red John.

Espero que haya una explicación sobre lo que sucedió en la casa de Patrick Jane cuando Jane reunió a 5 sospechosos.

Sea quien sea Red John, el espectáculo es el mejor que he visto.

Reed Smith, Thomas McAllister, Gale Bertram and Ray Haffner have something in common: they are not Red John.

Of the three remaining, the most likely is Bob Kirkland, next is Brett Partridge and finally Bret Stiles. The story allows any of them is alive and is Red John.

I hope there is an explanation of what happened at the home of Patrick Jane when Jane met a 5 suspects.

Whoever he is Red John, the show is the best I've seen.

For what I read here,
everybody want Partridge to be RJ! And I find that very possible because
there is no way that somebody so clever as Cho didn’t check the face of the
body.

Hello guys, i'm not going to make any theory in this post, i just saw something strange in the promo of the 8th episode so i made this screen capture here http://i.imgur.com/LBmQm0R.jpg and as you can see RED JOHN has a little quantity of white hair (or not) and a head like ball.

PS: We're not sure all the suspects who died are really dead ;) 

so.....
