LATEST THEORIES

You see, Red John has made people speak on his behalf.  Of course those people die soon after.  If you steal Red John's "thunder", you will be killed.  Red John could have been Sheriff McCallister; I would believe it.  From the first time Jane met that Sheriff, McCallister had a problem with Jane.  The odd part about it being McCallister is that McCallister saved him; however, if people were watching, and McCallister did nothing, people might get suspicious.  They'd ask why did you just sit there? or How did Jane die, and why are you here?  It is also plausible to assume that Red John setup McCallister to call Jane with that voice, from the beginning.  The "Blake Association" is cops, so they are going to be watched by cops.  Being around police in a police station will make a criminal careful.  Of course, Red John is only human, and he would eventually slip up.  However, he may still be out there.  If he is still out there, he will be aiming for Jane next.  McCallister did not try to kill Jane with a knife.  I would expect red John to try to use a blade of some sort.  Despite the victory for Jane, there is still the Blake association. I have some doubts as well about McCallister naming his organization: "The Blake Association".  However, it would not be traced back by name to police.  Something like Fraternal Order of Police would tip somebody off. 
Despite the victory for Jane, there is still the Blake association.  The people who were obvious members of Red John's secret organization that Jane shot are not suspects anymore.  We are left wondering if the show picks up as usual, without the hunt for Red John. 

We are also left to wonder about the police that are members of the Blake Association. Their supposed leader is dead, but they are all fugitives.  The three star tattoo is a giveaway.  The show picks up two years later, and something brings them back together.   The last words of "RED JOHN": I will tell you who helped me in the CBI.  Was it Gal Bertram?  We already know! 
Could it be that the three tattoo was just a faction.  I could have sworn that Red John would not have gotten so angry at Jane.  McCallister was cool headed, but Bertram was cool headed.  Everybody was calm.  I saw some anger, when Jane called him a sociopath.  I thought Red John would have laughed.  Consider that Red John murdered his wife and daughter; Red John already has retaliated, so he has no need to express anger. I thought that the voice was a setup.  The episode when Jane gets confronted by Red John while being tied up was a total setup.  It could have been real, but it is just so easy to order subordinates to do your dirty work.  Plus, Red JOhn used a gun to kill those film students, and he didn't leave any faces painted in blood. 
Well if McCallister could pretend to be dead, anyone in the organization could pretend to be dead - supposing that McCallister is not the head of the "Blake Association".  I am suggesting any more serial killers from that association be called Blake Association killer(s).  I prefer no more color adjectives for serial killers, unless it is outside the Blake Association.

Okay here's a hint people. The whole redjohn thing is not over because they still have the list of seven up on the website. Once the list of seven is off the homepage like it was before it was known, then the whole red john saga is over.

TV Guide Magazine: Hell, yeah!
Baker: All those times we heard the voice of Red John? That was me.


TV Guide Magazine: Seriously?
Baker:
Yes! In the Season 2 finale, when Jane was captured and Red John did
that "Tyger, Tyger" thing with the mask on? That was me. I played both
characters in that scene.

My friends,
Personally I don't know what to think after watching this famous episode S60E08 !
The Red John's story really ends here? With this pathetic McAllister's death? The problem isn't the sheriff himself but the way he dies, the way how he has been revealed as one of the greatest and cleverest serial killers of TV's shows history.

How this Heller's writing could be so weak at this story level for a woldwide show?

I'm lost, but curious to know what you can think. Are you sharing my disapointment also?
Let's make a kind of survey :D

- click on plausible if you think that all this is a fake revelation and the real Great Red John will make his aparition within one the 12 remaining episodes of this 6th current season.
- click on unlickely if you think finally that McAllister is the real Great Red John

Thank's  ;)

Hate to be the bearer of reality, but the reason that nobody comes here anymore is because the reason no longer exists. It is OVER. Done. That's it. There is no more RJ. And there is no more coming. Time to pack it in folks.

I think the kindest thing to do for everyone at this point would either be to change the name of the site to "WTF was that?" to stop misleading anyone into thinking there's actually more to the RJ saga; or just take it down altogether. Seriously. I just stopped by one last time to see if there were any decent fan fiction alternate endings or stories just for fun. But this has become so sad. Move on. Bruno Heller certainly has. (He's already working on his next show for Fox, called "Gotham"--which could explain a lot...)

so shame that since the red jhon Episode, not too many people are viewing this site anymore, last saturday almost a thousand opinion, today barely one each hour or two, is that because RJ is revealed or because the reveal itself wasn't satisfying.
If a better reveal as we wanted had been, would people still come and comment?
we'll never know.
RJ was the main character of the show, and not PJ
we accepted a lot of bad scenarios and writings in almost all seasons, just for the sake of the RJ case and not the way PJ solved his murders, he had plenty of idiot criminals. there was for sure some of wonderful episodes but rare.
for example the killer who keep the poisoned tee in the kitchen so PJ can drink it, and later she kept it in her own house,, i mean it's not well written no? what if she had caught that rabbit? we let go too many things because of RJ and what we get is bullshit,, lot of things happened for no reason.
look at the last episode; they even try to make a joke with that lady behind the wheel, who PJ tried to stop,, or when FBI was chasing PJ it took a small truck going backwards to block them and PJ had all the time to stop goes bacwards and give his car to tose kids, WTF. primitive writing
when you try and rewatch some old episode not necessarly the RJs, lot of things don't fit.
we have been hypnotized by the idea of PJ WILL GET RJ.
