LATEST THEORIES

I've posted some of the below in comments because the site wouldn't let me upload a new theory ... but here goes...

I think a persuasive way of reconciling Cho being a good cop with the body in the morgue being not BP is as follows:

- Cho is working with Jane whereas at the same time Jane is misleading Lisbon (I like the Lisbon is bugged theory/ies);

- this is supported by one of the advanced reviews of "Red John" stating "it is always good to have Cho on your side";

- either Cho noticed that the body didn't belong to BP and only told Jane (when Lisbon wasn't around) OR Jane specifically asked Cho to not draw any attention to the face.

After watching the scene where Lisbon & Jane discuss the possibility of BP being a member of The Blake Association I am more convinced that perhaps Jane is setting something up. All Jane says is "Partridge", then Lisbon brings up the fact that he said "Tyger, Tyger" to her before he died. Jane then says "He was asking for help" ... but this doesn't make sense, he is dying, obviously killed by someone, so why would he only want help from a tyger cop, wouldn't he take help from any cop? Seems like Jane is saying this to throw RJ off track (if he is listening through Lisbon). (BP fans, including myself, would want to believe BP said this to throw PJ off track and unravel The Blake Association - not asking for help).

Then Jane says to Lisbon something like "we have to see the body"... If RJ is listening in, and used any body that looked similar to BP (without a tattoo), maybe it was easier for RJ to get a TT member in the Morgue just to cut off a chunk of the left shoulder instead of imprinting the tattoo on? (or perhaps at the time they cut off a chunk instead of tattooing it?)

Also, Jane specifically says he wants Cho to do this ("have Cho bring a shovel"). Then Cho sends the image of the shoulder to Lisbon and not to Jane (Lisbon shows Jane) - perhaps to fool RJ into thinking they are following up the shoulder which is what RJ wants them to do. (We know Jane can also receive emails --- Van Pelt sent him the coded message from the vault).

anyway there a probably lots of ways to explain the above (or perhaps there are no clues embedded in that exchange at all) --- but it's always fun writing, sharing & collaborating on theories :)

I'm not as sure as I was last week that BP = RJ, but we have a few days to keep the (awesome) story alive even if it turns out not to be the case :)

    I figured it out. Red John is actually a gay guy who is in love with Patrick Jane. However, since Patrick was married there was no way he could be with him. So Red John killed his family so Patrick would become single. In the end, when Patrick finally has Red John, he will realize that he has actually enjoyed all this chasing around and has fallen for Red John as well. The last episode will be them getting married. Once Lisbon finds out Patrick and Red John are getting married, she is sent (by the illuminati) to kill Patrick for being a homosexual and not being in love with her. Since Bruno Heller is a well known gay activist, it becomes obvious this show is a metaphor for why Gays should be able to get married in all 42 states.

Did anyone catch the code number that Bertram entered. We don't happen to know the birthdays of the suspects do we because I caught # 76 and 43 maybe it's the 03/04/76 or something similar.

Anyway I think the cup has something to do with something. The way it broke on the floor into pieces but there was nothing in it reminds me of the explosion.  Maybe it's to do with the body parts...I don't know but hoping someone smarter than me can figure it out or think of something similar.

First of all, I love everyone who posted your thoughts and theory on this site. Reading them are so much fun.

Many of you have very solid arguments. However, I think there's one important aspect many of the theories fail to address: 

Could you please try to explain about the bomb in Jane's house?

To be more specific: Who planted it? And for what purpose? What do you think happened before the bomb went off? And, if the person who planted the bomb was also in the house, how did he make sure he can walk away without getting hurt?

If you can't answer that, I think it's very hard for me to believe you have the right person as RJ.

Hit "Green" if you agree with me.
Hit "Red" if you think that's irrelevant.

Some other thoughts about the promo :

I wouldn't read in too much about the 6x08 promo. I find it hard to disagree that the person in church with PJ is indeed McAllister. But that does not mean McAllister is RJ. Yes we hear RJ says "The game's over and I won". But I didn't see those words coming out from McAllister's mouth. Very likely McAllister is sent by RJ. Remember Timothy Carter? I don't think RJ will just show up and let PJ shoot him.

In Season 1 Episode 23, Rosalind Harker describes Red John as:
Just under 6 feet
Not muscular, not soft
Short straight hair
Gentle voice
Rough strong hands
Smelt of pine and nails
Likes classical - Bach
Smoked a lot

As far as I know, none of the people on Jane's list smoked, except for possibly Bertram as he had a cigarette lighter in his deposit room. Minelli was hypnotized by Jane to stop smoking which indicates he had a smoking problem beforehand. Rosalind also says he was trying to stop, hence eventually seeking Jane's help to quit.
