LATEST THEORIES

Red John is a cool, calm and calculated individual - An equal of Patrick Jane - McAllister wasn't.

Whenever someone who had met Red John spoke about him they would suggest he has a powerful demeanor, someone you don't mess with on a personal level, someone dark and who you would truely fear and sends a shiver down your spine.

Yes, McAllister was part of the Blake Organisation but if he was truly Red John i'm quite dissapointed as he just doesn't fit into what we know about him.

Season 2 Episode 23 Red Sky in the morning:

When Jane is tied up and Red John talks to him there is no way that can be McAllisters voice, it's too young and high pitched. Brett Partidge's voice is more like this but I think the whole list of 7 may just be part of Red Johns sick game in keeping one step ahead of Jane and now that Jane is back with the FBI, Red John will return (I hope!)

Anyone who is just here to hate n pick on people like Stoppkid are trolls and should be banned I may not agree with everything he says but at least he is posting theories that are entertaining and he's one of the ones keeping the site alive the site is called WHOISREDJOHN? if you think rj is McAllister than why r u on this site and if you love this new beginnings storyline than you are a fuckin moron RED JOHN is still alive. I don't care what Heller or Baker say in interviews or what the episode titles are. Nothing that has happened has convinced me McAllister is Red John. Nothing about this is the Mentalist . Unless Heller got into a big blowout with CBS and this is just a big fuck you Red John is still alive But even that doesn't make any sense cause why punish the loyal fans. The best thing about this coma dream is Cho finally showing some personality I apologize for my perfect English I'm from North America

So many people still expecting the show to somehow erase the damage done by the 10 or so episodes this season.  They eagerly wait for a dream sequence, a coma, or another sort of deus ex machina trick to forgive all.

Well, here is how you will know what happens next in the show.  All you need is to understand two things:

First, it is easy to hook the audience with wild clues that are all over the map, if you have no idea what the ending is going to be like.  If you have no clue, and especially no desire to tie things up at the end, you can make things up as you go along because there really is nothing holding you back.  Furthermore, each new twist or "clue" only makes the show that much more exciting.  There are many examples of this from the X Files to the Lost.

Second, you must realize that the Mentalist has been copying other shows, notably Profiler and Dexter, pretty liberally and literally:

1) In Dexter, two main characters are a blonde male (Dexter) and a dark-haired, non-traditionally beautiful woman (his sister Deb).  The Mentalist has the same characters, in physical appearance, in PJ and Lisbon.

2) In Dexter, a character says: "there is a storm coming your way."  In Mentalist, this becomes, "there is a comeuppance headed (PJ's) way."  Not only this but even the timing of the above sentence are almost identical in the final sequence of the episodes.

3) In Dexter, Deb gets attacked from behind and gets pulled down.  In the Mentalist, Lisbon suffers this attack.  If you watch the clip, I guarantee your jaw will drop and you will end up muttering a few choice profanities at the Mentalist.  If you are interested, it is Dexter's season 7, episode 3, named "Buck The System."  Just watch from 49-51 minutes in the show.

4) In Dexter, a woman comes on the show out of nowhere when Dexter seems to be in most trouble.  While she appears to be an adversary, she proves to be helpful to Dexter and she paves the way for the show's finale.  In the Mentalist, this plot is copied almost identically and carried out by Lorelei Martins.

5) Dexter is a bad (good) guy.  So, the series ending cannot be copied directly.  Here, the great writers of the Mentalist turn to Profiler and copy the exact disclosure of the villain: a small town sheriff is the bad guy.  (See the first point above about not caring to tie all the past clues.)

So, how do you know what will happen next in the show?  Well, it is going to be just like your other favorite show, of course!  The one that is on cable now or the one that was canceled a few years ago!

I know we've been everywhere with Partridge theories... but hear my out! 


We all know Red John thinks of himself as a superior being right? He'd never lead the Blake Association and have the same tattoo as his subordinates, that wouldn't be RJ. 

But look at this picture, the cut is circular, not a straight line.

It might be a far fetch... but what if his tattoo wasn't 3 dots... but a smiley face?
