1. Haibach tried to cut off Jane's finger because Bob Kirkland did it to him

2. Red John instructed Lorelei to cut of Jane's finger prior to this

Could it be that particular RJ on that particular day was Michael Kirkland?  Not hard to figure out where the Kirkland twins might have picked up this bad habit up considering their upbringing

3.  Mikey K.  could easily have been a youth at the barn who got straightened out [alcoholism] through Visualize and RJ

--- only problem is that while we know RJ's smiley face is on the Visualize barn -- Heller didn't bother to give us the connection between McAllister and Visualize, but then I guess that's not SURPRISING considering there are more holes in the Red John story than in a extra large sized colander 

Please Heller, take us somewhere we've been before and EXPLAIN why the F you took us there in the first place!!   

Hi guys...

in the fourth season red john had told lorelai to cut Patrick`s finger.
in the sixth season Bob kirkland had cut Haibach`s finger.
And in the last night episode Haibach wanted to cut off Patrick`s finger.
interesting....

in addition rigsby is shot and Patrick did not do anything.it is very unreasonable.

well, i was disappointed with last night's episode.. not because it was a bad episode, because it was actually a very good episode.. i just personally expected/wanted more..

haibach? really? ugh...

i, of course, will watch the rest of the season with hopes that the finale will ne good considering who wrote it.. but if the show really is just going to continue to be boring i won't watch past season 6..

i am one of the people that want the rj storyline back somehow.. he was there sonce the pilot and played a huge part in why i got so sucked into the show in the first place..
solving murders with a cooky IT guy won't do it for me.. i have criminal minds with the lovely garcia for that already..

ahhhhh..

I cant even leave my house today i am so embarrassed ;) Just playing, this shit is not about me you gosh darn trolls!!
Haha I am a writer believe it or not. I like to write and honestly don't care about being right. I was just trying to entertain you guys and I hope I succeeded in that.
But I liked the episode. It had my heart racing and I thought It was executed well. Could of been better yes, but i am not picky.

I know you guys don't want to hear this but Haibach was NOT behind the cbi hit-list. He simply reacted because he found out he was a suspect again and the last time he was a suspect bad things happened to him.
No way he stabbed Ardilles like that!
No way he had the technological wherewithal to tap all those phones.

We are still in for a huge surprise later in the season. The writers for episode 22 wrote every red john episode together.
Jane said "we need to break the pattern" and thats exactly what the show did. We all though red john was behind this and he wasn't but fear not because there is a much bigger darker force behind this whole big hit-list thing.
Seriously all those random names on the list Haibach has never even heard of those people let alone wanted to kill them all!
Keep the faith :)
My new list of suspicious suspects:

Cooper
Fischer
Wylie
Haffner
Freye

Prior to last night's episode, the only person in the series who tried to cut off Patrick's fingers was Red John.  Is this reason to make anyone wonder?

They should at least bring back some easy things like jane's old car , jane's vests , also cbi ron and cbi Karl.
here is a picture of cbi karl if you forgot him
