LATEST THEORIES

There's a list of 7.

Last episode was entitled the "The Great Red Dragon"

From the Book of Revelations:  

"And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads......"

They are all RJ. 

From the Book of Secret Prophecy:

"And the pigeons will defeat the dragon and all of it's heads."   ;-)

Good evening guys, a French fan speaking here! Reading the forum yesterday and today, I came to know about that potential leaked-fake-episode, and surprisingly found it easily on the web... I just watched it now, and I think the situation of leaking can be true, very weird...but possible, even if, I might "think old", the final episode was a roll film for me, so "impregnable" !

If this episode is a fake, I confess this last red herring by Bruno Heller and his team is a brilliant idea. That show will have outdistanced me till last breath...of Red John!

Nevertheless, RJ's end would fast and simple, that's a fact.

Let's see on Monday...in France !

Thanks for this super show!

Brett Partridge is my suspect because I do want him to be RJ.

But I have see people wanting to know what say the first theories that Thomas McAllister should be Red John.

I just read the first one, and it's the 3578th theory in the site (http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/3578).

The first of all theories (http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/1) was posted approximately one year ago, and the first theory of the sheriff was posted only 5 months ago. What I want to point is that, until the list of the seven was revealed, "nobody" could bet sheriff is RJ, it would be like you guess Mashburn is (moreover, not Mashburn, as he appears at the 168th theory (http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/168)).

After all, there are points at this theory we can't ignore:
- what is said about Napa: "In episode 3x04 Van Pelt goes to lunch with O'Laughlin by helicopter. The circumstance comes up again and Van Pelt asks him where would they go to lunch: Craig says "Napa". McAllister is the sheriff in the County of Napa.";
- if he is really RJ, what he done while playing jokenpo becomes awesome: "Patrick, as usual, denies he's got "powers", then he challenges McAllister at rock, paper, scissors, always defeating him. Of course that could be an act by McAllister and maybe it was he who wanted to lose.";

Good bye and I keep in the hope that the leaked episode is a fake!

I know it still shows Thomas McAllistar, but at least this gives us hope!.

I don't know how this kind of mistake might occur , who can leak the most expected episode??? Was there conflict between Heller and with his colleagues??? Or this leak has been made deliberatelly by Heller himself ,likewise "maybe" like this site??? 

Thousands of questions... BUT

The leak episode most likey is the real one, because ;

1- It very fits with extended promo broadcasted previous week
2- This end is indeed schokingly primitive ,essentially that is the matter which make it surprisingly terrific. A simple end against great expectation of audience, power of opposits which Heller was using this method through the serial.
3- Two big lessons:

1st one : " You were smart but arragont, so you could never imagine a person smarter than you "

so being self-possessed is something greater than being smart 

2nd one: Great power is behind being unknown ,mysterious and always behind the throne but no-one can figure or would like to pick you as the one who wanted( I might consider mcalister as rj, but I did not want to pick him, he was not good enough for my own created perspective of RJ)

Apart from those, this power is same for GOD, we believe or think that there is a GOD behind all life , but who is he? There is no list of 7 either; first idea; 

1- Myself(like everybody does in the first place and said Patrick is Redjohn himself)
2- A creator very powerful ,unreachable, invisible and almighty(like RJ) ,but we saw that all his(mcallister) power was originated from his simplicity.

Other than these, there are absolutely too many ridicilous moments in this episode and through all serial , what happened to visualise? How patrick guessed the church and how might him be sure of that bertram was going to reach him? There are of course more complicated of question thousands of ,again BUT: 

We understood that this serial was simple and just for entertaining people,with some background subliminal purposes that was all, we expected too much 

I think this was the original episode and you will watch same on Sunday maybe with some little changes but highly likely with same essence and ending. 

Well done Heller, we enjoyed ,you could make it more greater but who would understand, basic humanity , basic art:)
