LATEST THEORIES

If you want to watch something good, start watching The Guardian with Simon Baker. Yes, it was filmed 10 years ago, but at least you can see there that he still gives a shit.
In the new Mentalist episodes it's so obvious that he doesn't care about it at all...It's painful to watch. I'm saying it now, there's absolutely no way the show will have a 7th season. The acting is gone downhill since the shit Red John episode. I'm not sure I wanna see more of this crap, they are just tagging along without any passion. It's very sad.

Why nobody suspects him? Because he is the main actor, cute, sexy, too positive to be a serial killer we hate at the same time....people, think about it.....

- Do you think Oscar dies just because? Lisbon said she has a date with him as a joke in front of PJ and guess what happens next.....Jane jelaous , Oscar dies..not for the first time that the persons who want something with Lisbon die right after PJ finds out.....
- What do we see in this season? Jane and a LOT of women going around him....Lisbon, Blondie, Fischer....Isnt RJ the charming one who can have any woman he want?
- And again.....Jane mentions to Blondie....nobody knows who i really am.....and that is something we dont hear for the first time....
-What if Mcallister was hipnotized by PJ? Or was a sacrifice for PJ (RJ) who wanted to get possible clues of his back? 
- I dont say that Jane has a bird phobia but i noticed he is not comfortable around them, also he is afraid of heights....

- The dead psy? Well one thing i know is that when someone has 2 personalities he doesnt know about his second personality....so if PJ was there his RJ personality killed her and she was talking to the RJ personality...she probably wouldnt say to PJ...you have a RJ personality in you too....she was going with the flow and pretending to be talking to 2 persons like she never met them before...to PJ and to RJ...

- In Sophie Millers description Rj is described as a person with no living family but he has friends on wich he relies on.....so for me even this indicates on PJ...
- RJ has a narcis personality.....never saw that in TM....but is Jane a narcy? Yup...
- AND SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.....I WAS JUST NOW LISTENING TO THE TAPE....IT IS CLEARLY SAID THAT RJ DEALS WITH THE FEAR OF HEIGHTS? WE CLEARLY ALSO SEE THAT PJ IS AFRAID OF HEIGHTS AND THAT MCALLISTER IS NOT....I THINK THAT THE FEAR OF BIRDS WAS MADE UP BY PJ...PJ SAID THAT RJ IS AFRAID OF BIRDS....
- MCALLISTER WAS OR A RJ (PJ) DISCIPLE AND HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DIE TO PROTECT THE REAL RJ (PJ) AND GET HIM OF THE HOOK....OR MCALLISTER WAS HIPNOTIZED BY PJ WITH BERTRAM AND WAS ORDERED TO COME TO THE CHURCH.
- PJ GOT AWAY FROM JUSTICE BECAUSE HE KILLED THE FAMOUS MURDERER


Here are some things i would like to point out from the previous seasons,episodes....

...in the season 4 where Jane is talking to Lorelei she says why did they never became friends when they are so alike...i did not see anyone soo damm alike to Jane in the episodes

...and the face RJ drawns with blood is just like Janes face...

...why there were no RJ killings while PJ was in Las Vegas for 6 months...

...how the hell did Lorelei found him in Las Vegas?

....why was exactly the CBI dude Luther Wainwright the one who got caught by RJ...if i remember he and PJ were insulting each other the episode before...and RJ does not like to be insultet in any way..so LW ended up dead...why it was not hmmm...Lisbon? Because PJ likes her and think as a friend/crush

...and now you will ask me what are the other suspects doing in the series...and i wil tell you that they are nothing but distractions...just to keep us away from Jane in the first place....and on the other hand doing misunderstandings with PJ s mind...like for example the girl in the graveyard was sent from a disciple just to mindfuck PJ and the person with the baseball hat could be any of them...

....in the series we can see that PJ is very good at faking things...from his mental acts to his behaviour...like when he was in a verbal fight with Luther, even Lisbon believed all of that but it was just an act....

...somehow RJ is always one step ahead of PJ...wich is impossible...he knows his every move, his every tought and his every trick...


...when PJ lost his memory he was a complete different person....

...nobody did not know about the meeting between Gale Bertram and PJ....

...how did RJ knew that PJ is going to the graveyard just when he saw the happy anniversary note on his car...PJ when arrived there was not looking around for RJ, but he was looking in the graves, and why he hipnotized the girl and said to Lisbon RJ could kill her...he could instead leave her go and follow her...

...also there is a big black hole in the series when James Panzer was killed by RJ...it was a great moment for PJ to follow Panzer privately just to get in trouble with RJ as he always did before...but this time he didnt....

...why is PJ keeping all the sudden everybody away from RJ...ok, he says that if anybody talks about RJ ends up dead...but i think there is something behind that....i think that PJ usually wouldnt care that much about others and that he would try to set a bait for RJ in that way....

....why didnt RJ take for example Van Pelt, or Cho, or Rigsby in the limo but exactly Luther wich PJ didnt like so much...and why is the group VP,Cho, Rigsby and Lisbon safe for 5 seasons now...

...why did RJ wanted to "have fun" with Darcy instead for example Lisbon wich is also helping to solve the RJ case with PJ...

...how come that Christina Frye is alive but was in contact with RJ....he hipnotized her wich is the thing Patrick does...and PJ does not kill her as RJ because he liked her..

....the voice in the limo sounds like PJ...

...."does anyone know who you are?"...charlotte asks PJ while halucinating...

....i am just not sure if PJ is RJ frome the beginning or it is half Timothy and half Jane...

...i think that when RJ was thinking it was time for him to approach was the time in the mall..because he knew he has done his job but wanted jane to continue it...so jane with the mental disorder did so...but when the Jane persona was more powerfull in his head than the RJ persona then the disciples and the clues where there to mess up janes head again...

...and whats with the happy memory thingy only Pj knew ;)

.. Also Red John guessed all the suspects correct which is impossible since how would he know which people did Jane shake hands with. 

...Its feels like Jane is Red John. Whether its a case of multiple personality disorder perhaps..

All I could think during those last 5 minutes was "Please be Red John, Please be Red John!" For me, the episodes have gone to pure shit without RJ and, to be honest, I miss the motherfucker!

RJ, is that you? Can I see a smiley? :)

Tonights episode spoilers

Why I'm pretty sure red john isn't dead
I once read somewhere that wayne and vanpelt leave the series in episode 15 yet I can't find this reference anymore but I def 100% saw it somewhere, then theres also tonights episode with this mysterious killer after all of them from CBI, 

also eepisode 15 "
White as the Driven Snow" will be big because

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.

Some time ago i posted about a couple of weird things indicating that the location of Green Thumb wasn't New York, but LA.  If you want to take a look:

http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/16938

Now in Golden Hammer It's happening again.

There are clear indicators that the location is LA not Houston.

The very first scene includes the sign of Tesoro del Valle and the Streetsign Avenue 23. These two eviromental markers allow us pinpoints the scene of the car crash on the bridge where Humoldt street crosses the Golden State Freeway:

The second thing manifesting the LA location is the Grand Park, the pink park benches and the water fountain the suspect tries to flee through are both signature landmarks of LA Grand Park:

Funny fact Grand Park is only a 14 min walk away from the Pico House, which was used as the outside set for the CBI Headquaters.

**only read if you have seen 6x12, spoiler***











we did see that osvaldo ardiles (and i think:several other ex-CBI agents) got tortured and stabbed with a knife...this seems to be an act of revenge to me.

"Revenge for what?" popped into my head.....

well the recent and last case was the Red John case

then i had to think about that weird woman who helped red john and attacked patrick in the church with a KNIFE .she also had a weird scene leaving the place and just walking by the fbi unnoticed

maybe it was red johns latest fiancee, maybe its some sort of rebuilding the blake association...personally I think it's both

however it has to be someone who hates the ex-CBI for a reason.let me hear your thoughts

In the past episode titles could sometimes be linked to movie titles with somewhat simluar plots for example:

609 My Blue Haven: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100212/?ref_=nv_sr_2

An all too uptight FBI agent must protect a larger than life mobster
with a heart of gold, currently under witness protection in the suburbs.


Now what pops up as a movie title for Golden Hammer?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1833657/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1

Shiver me timbers! Bob the Builder™ and his Top Team have moved to
Fixham Harbor for a swashbuckling new adventure. Spud and Scrambler
learn about the legend of Pirate Brickbeard's Golden Hammer, a treasure
that he has hidden in their new town. The team must follow the clues to
find its location. Can they find it? Yes, they can! All hands on deck
for a treasure trove of mystery and fun!
