PROOF RED JOHN ISN'T DEAD


well this isn't exactly proof but I think episode 15 "
White as the Driven Snow" of this season will be the return in some way of red john.

why you ask?
2 reasons.
1. it's directed by 
Chris Long and most of the episodes he does have something to do with red john, he doesn't direct many episodes but when he does it usually involves red john clues or big red john episodes.
2. It's the last episode they have given the name for, for the season.

During Season 1, Episode 9, (Flame Red) Patrick told Lisbon "when I catch Red John, I'm gonna cut him open and watch him die slowly like he did my wife and child."
If Sheriff McAllister is Red John, this means:  Patrick didn't really mean it; he forgot; it wasn't practicable; or, he changed his mind.  It may also mean that Sheriff McAllister was not Red John.
Perhaps the two year layover and the FBI gig is an elaborate ruse to make Red John think that Patrick thinks he is dead.  Maybe Patrick will lash out when its least expected and cut someone (later revealed to be Red John) open and watch him/her slowly die.
Perhaps the producers have lost track about what was said and done in the past and are just attempting to keep us entertained while waiting for the series to be cancelled.  If this is the case, the producers will have lost all credibility in my book.

Sophie miller is another huge clue.

Why would macalister go to janes shrink and not just torture and kill her ?
Instead he talks to her about his fear of heights yet she thinks he is lying about all he says
Jane said its ok that he is lying because he is giving us clues .
Why would macalister waste his time with this ? And chop her head off? Jane said rj would never risk getting caught just to taunt.

Why would Macalister let jane expose the BA ? He waited until jane exposed everything then said game over!?
How did MAcalister win if jane took down his whole organization?
He just pops out with a gun and says its over ! Lol he could have done that 100000 times in 6 seasons.

Seems to me that someone WANTED the BA to be taken out .
Especially at the same exact time Styles is catching heat from the Fbi.
The universe is not lazy and leave coincidences . Or something like that.

"The desert rose" is a very important episode .
It was stage 1 of Patricks game because Lisbon sprung into action telling Gvp about the list.

*If you watch the scene where Lisbon is stun gunned something A LOT of people missed occurs.

-Partridge is dead at Lisbon's feet. There WAS a person behind the door to Lisbon's left side .
Somebody was also behind Lisbon ! There was a window behind her and that is where she was zapped from and why she fell backwards.
-The was no way Lisbon could have been zapped from anywhere else because her back was to a wall with a window. We are looking at a two person job .
-Partridge was on the ground the door creeked and she looked to her left but the zap came from behind . Check it out again.

Side note: the next day Rigsby calls van pelt and says "last night was incredible " . Now we assume they mean sexually it was incredible but what if they were in that house together and killed partridge and zapped Lisbon?
It makes sense becuase why would red john not kill Lisbon for snooping around?
Also, Macalister was not there ! So he cannot be red john!!

When I finished watching the "Red John" episode, I didn't believe McAllister was RJ. I thought that couldn't be the ending of such a great character, Now that after some episodes, I am resigned. You guys want to make Heller a genius, when he never was. He didn't know to finish RJ's arc. I am resigned that my favorite TV show was ruined by its writers. Honestly, I have better things to do than giving Heller and company credit when they don't deserve it(in my opinion). I don't want to be dissapointed again, so I won't expect anything and I'll let the show surprise me if it can do. I wish you the best people, cheers from a resigned fan.

Brett Partridge 's name spells out get rid bert part.  Bosco's team called Rigsby (and Cho) Bert & Ernie.  Soon after, they are all killed.  Brett Partridge is a coroner, so he determines causes of death.  Heller has his name detail what caused the death of Bosco's team.  They called Rigsby Bert from Bert and Ernie (a puppet).  Rigsby wanted to cry, but he got revenge.  He didn't forget about Jane.  He reminds Jane that he is always thinking of him - even when cops pick on him and he must kill.  He thinks he is a natural born killer.  His dad was in Iron Gods gang, Roy Taggliaferri is cut iron (not gods). He is around six feet tall, and he had straight hair.

It seems obvious that it is McAllister, because the show has changed the title theme of Red to other colors - after Mcallister was killed by Jane.  The show's first episode contained a Red John tie-in.  Dr. Linus Wagner pretended Red John killed his partner & a woman.  The second episode revealed Mcallister - who was a sheriff that uncomfortable about Patrick Jane.  In the first episode, Wagner pretends to not know who Red John is.  In the second episode, McAllister pretends to not know who Jane is.  The theme is guilty minds can't keep a secret forever, there are tells that are visible to observers like Jane.
