LATEST THEORIES

If BH decided to make RJ a crusty old man..............don't you think Anthony Hopkins would have suited the role perfectly? That dude has a creepy aura around him and he is a brilliant actor himself........ too bad it had to Sheriff Mc.

In reply to theory #16286

Most of what you said did not make sense. BH did not fully close the RJ chapter.........there are too many things left unanswered and now in just one episode he expects us to forget about the last 5 seasons and turn a new leaf? Sorry bro that's just not right.

Theory #16288 • By RedJohnIsStillAlive
Show this theory

My theory is that RJ is still alive.  Bob Kirkland. Yep, he’s still alive and the whole killed during attempt to escape thing was staged.  He was revealed in the 100th episode and in the recap of the previous episode they keep showing the scene where he gets shot; as if the director is trying to make sure the audience remembers what happened to him so twist gets even bigger.   

The Sheriff doesn’t fit the profile of RJ, and that voice that he did was an obvious attempt to imitate RJ’s voice almost successfully.  Also, as others have pointed out, there are holes in the theory which will IMO get filled later.
 

Christina Frye disappeared from the scene.  I thought she was an important character and I truly believe that she’ll be back.  Also Rosalind Harker – the blind woman who can identify RJ.  Doesn’t it seem strange that Jane wouldn’t confirm RJs death by having her identify the body? Or for that matter any of the CBI or FBI members? 
 

Remember you are watching The Mentalist, and the ultimate con will be that the director BH plays a “Jane” trick on the audience!

Dear Mr. Heller,

I don't like to be made a laughing stock in the media, especially by a seed eating, serial shitting pigeon. If you were a real writer and created instead of an unoriginal plot thieving fraud you wouldn't need to check the internet to see what my death has done to your beloved show's ratings.

P.S.
Just kidding. All I ask is you explain Red John's back story. Good luck.

In reply to Theory #16279 

The main theme of the show was based on Patrick Jane's life, it was about "The Mentalist" and his path to get revenge on his familly killer, Red John. I guess it is wrong to say the main theme was based on RED JOHN, Red John was part of Jane's life and etc. Now we will just see a diferent chapter of Jane's life, of THE MENTALIST's life. The show is about Patrick, after all. Before anything, i am VERY disappointed with the Red John saga, the lack of explanations and etc. 

Red John is dead. That chapter of Jane's life is over. Now we have to see how he moves on after finally getting his revenge. "The Mentalist's" life go on. We have TWO options.

1 - Stop watch the show.
2 - Accept the ending of RJ saga and watch Jane's new life. 

In my case, i will do the 2. 

Cheers.

I think patrick will fall in love with Red john's wife; Red Jane. And they will live happy ever after!

hey guys i am new here and only started watching
as i skim through this site, i see all this commotion about some John fella...  but i dont know why because they only just aired the pilot 2 days ago


but in all seriousness, how are they going to end season 6?
keeping in mind it either needs to provide significant closure on the entire show or leave us on a hanger in an attempt to get renewed for one last season
please share thoughts/fictions

i miss you roy tagliaferro x

I honestly can't believe some people are okay with the path this show is on at the moment................The only people who are happy right now are the ones who only watched this show for non-Red John episodes. That is the most idiotic thing ever because the main theme of this show was based on Red John!!!  BH should have finished this series when RJ was killed in a proper way which he obviously wasn't.................. it's all one big mess.
