LATEST THEORIES

-Something never talked about is that La Roche died because he was Ba.
-He killed the gas n go clerk because he was ordered too. If u re watch it you blatantly see La Roche wait for jane and Lisbon to walk away then he got in the car. Dude got out of his cuffs in 3 seconds, when does that happen unless you wanted it to happen.
The season 3 finale was one the first times the Rj story line was about the Ba.
IF RJ WANTED HIGHTOWER DEAD SHE BE DEAD.
This was the first Rj thing that didnt pan out. Madeline on the run and the gas station bomb didn't work either. It was not Rj it was the Ba.
Ardilles was in this ep too because he was wondering where Hightower was and guess what? He is Ba as well and thats why he died.

This ep was about a client list that a man with a bomb stole and Hightower on the run. I think there is something more with the list and the Ba. Thats why La Roche killed the clerk.

Todd Johnson killed cops for Rj.
Olaughlin killed Johnson for Ba
Ba framed Hightower and never even questioned Olaughlin about he murder!
Ba sent Olaughlin to kill her.
Again Rj is never this sloppy.
Plus he hired a hitman?! Wtf
-And why would Rj take away Carters gun making Jane go to Jail?
Rj wanted the game to continue but the BA did not!

- I know i post a lot but i do it bc you guys should be doing it more!
Don't sweat the trolls that dwell in the dungeons ripping apart the very thing this site is made for.
There is a chance the Rj stuff isnt over so lets runs with that.

*** Lets take a poll what would you rather read?

1: a Rj theory whether crazy of concise OR
2: F the world F heller its all over i am never watching again etcetera.

Hey theres no harm in venting but we have some clues to talk about.
Red John revival time.
Don't forget the 5 great seasons we have seen.
I suggest going back and watching old episodes. You can really pick out what the Ba does and what Red John does and see somewhat of a pattern.

One episode should not ruin 6 years of great writing and surprises that blew our mind. One episode does not change the chance of a great conclusion to everything.
Watch the old episodes. Look for the connections. Ba vs Rj
Post about them.

If Red John returns- will there be a bloodbath?

One of these day there will be a TV series that will get it right. They will build up the plot and characters to an all out horror story. However the question stands: Is Mentalist "the one"?

Let's see:
FBI Johnny's come lately = bunch of uninteresting characters = yep, murder at will (heck, I'll even hire Red John to get rid of them)
Cho = needs a human companion to be funny, otherwise douchebag of lately = kill him... go ahead... see if I care
Lisbon = boss we all dream to have turned to a bi... ahem... love interest to two = sorry to break it to you Honey, you chose the wrong guy, this puts you on the murders list position #1. It's nothing personal... It's not you... It's who you with.
Jane = a loving Father and a husband on a revenge mission with shady past and with a double homicide track, engaged in law breaking left and right = is Red John the elephant in the room?

Well, so far so good, but I doubt the writers will take this route. Simply because they never heard the expression "when the cat's (BH) away the mice will play"

But...

I have high hopes for Sons Of Anarchy.

I FOUND THE CLUE FROM THE SEASON 3 FINALE!!

Its not red sweater guy either its red shirt guy!!

When Jane is talking to Carter the camera switches to show whats behind Jane.
Janes head is blocking the word "cappachino" so all you see is the word "CAP"
Right then a man in a red shirt and a black cap appears.
He is shows for a few seconds them the camera changes.
The camera goes on him again and then Jane and Carter stand up while he is in the background.
Now listen this man is 5 feet behind Carter when Jane shoots.
All hell breaks loose and everyone runs then Jane sits back down.
A good 3 MINUTES goes by then the cops come.
-Right after the cops come you see the guy again!!!
In reality he woulda been long gone by then.
The whole mall cleared out!
You see him run across the screen behind Jane blatantly as the cops close in.
He kinda looks like Macalister but maybe not....
Please go back and watch and tell me what u think..
Somebody PLEASE screenshot it and enlarge it for me i am not good at that, d666 I'm looking at u lol.
*this is deff the clue Heller was speaking of the is blatantly shown 4 times for a reason.
And the end when he runs across 3 minutes after the mall cleared out proved it to me.

i have a 30 year old single female that sits next to me at work.  through discussions with her, i realize that single women of her age either obsess over their 16 pet cats, or they obsess over TV shows.  the problem is that people like her (TV obsessed) are the ones that go on message boards and scream for Jisbon.  More power to them.  If they can't find love in life, i guess the gallon tub of ice cream and tv romance gives them the warm and fuzzy.  I do believe though, that this demographic is the one that spends more time online posting and hoping for all shows to become romantic.  The demographic that preferred the RJ storyline was just as big, but while they watch the show, don't express their feelings as much.  basically, i think that Jisbon gets more run online than RJ simply because those that like Jisbon are the type that spend more time stalking tv shows online than those that preferred RJ (minus the hardcore fans on this site of course). 

Of the 7 listed suspects, everyone agreed that Reede Smith was the biggest longshot.....and so do I.  But of the original 7, he is the only one that is confirmed to still be alive......

I have two possibilities;
First is Jane, there are many hints in the show that make it seem as though he has a split personality or has had a psychological break.  They are too many to recount and often subtle.

But my new pet theory is Abbot.  He has been manipulating Jane since he was introduced and kind of orchestrated Jane and Lisbon getting together at the end of this season.  If I am right the next season will feature Jane and Lisbon getting closer and then she will be murdered by the reemerged Red John. 

Abbot (Red John) wants Jane and Lisbon close so that he can inflict pain onto Jane.  In the past Jane may have wronged Abbot unknowingly, or represents the archetype of someone who wronged him.  Abbot will eventually reveal himself to Jane, because he wants to rub his nose in it - "I did this to you, because you wronged me.  I beat you!" 

Like I said these are both just pet theories and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us.  Just found this site, and I am going to read all the theoeries you fine people have.

Chokim, AKA known as the greatest love scene ever.

Cho walks in the scene from behind the office corner, about 20 feet away from, at the moment, arguing Abbott and Kim. As Cho walks toward them, his motion slows down and the camera intermittently switches back and forth between him and Kim's sensual attention completely devoted to evaluating of Cho's figure from head to toe. Her lust is more dripping than the pen she unconsciously brought to her luscious lips. 

Kim's day dreaming is abruptly interrupted by Abbot's annoyed exclamation;
"Agent Fisher... was I clear enough?"

To what she replies:
"Sorry boss, can we discuss this later?"

Abbott shakes his head and walks away, meanwhile Cho reaches Kim and she adopts his speed of walk right beside him. Cho doesn't seems to notice her.
Fisher's question is direct and without beating around the bush:
"Cho... Wanna have sex?"

Cho gives her a quick glance and replies:
"Sure." while the second part of his answer comes as he turns his head straight ahead, again: "Why not?"

They continue to walk silently by each others side throughout the next two hallways when suddenly the hallway ends with a wall infront of them. It also branches to the left and right. The arrow pointing to the right reads: the interrogation room. Kim turns that way.

Cho turns left.

For few seconds the hallway is empty... then Kim runs back from right wing to catch up with Agent Cho. Finally, she's caught up with him when Cho sits down to his desk and starts flipping through the file in front of him. Kim halts at the desk. Irritated she utters: "So?"


Cho looks up to her with his trademark expressionless and comes to riveting conclusion;
"Oh, you mean right now!"

Her WTF countenance is more than enough to send the suggestive message even Agent Cho can't misinterpret. He stands up, gently touches Kim's elbow and invites her in the nearby direction:
"Let's do it."

They walk few feet further and Cho inquires:
"Would you mind?"

Jane looks up from his couch. Smiles, and vigorously jumps away, but hastily turns back and with playful tip-toe goes behind his beloved furniture, pulls a plastic wrap over the seat and implies:
"Go ahead, kids." then with grin on his face, for the last time before he leaves the scene gives the voice to every true fans expectations:
"It was about time."

Cho, in modestly uncomfortable manner but decisively firm decision wraps the love scene up:
"I'm on top."

So i read in the comments of a youtube video  "enough time for them to get married though! ;) " refering to jisbon in season 7 , because of the only 13 episodes. And i tought, enough time for redjohn to comeback, kill the entire team (new and old ) , kidnap lisbon, then patrick and red john finally meet (for real this time ) after an epic mindgame between them, red john says "Well patrick, now is indeed game over , and i won " ( he kill himself so patrick wouldnt have his revenge and avoid to tell him where lisbon is ) . Jane approaches slowly to red john , takes his gun , then he sits in a chair just like in season 3 finale , drinks some tea and slowly aim the gun to his own head, he says " At least i hope van pelt was right , and u girls are in the other world so i could see you now "  then the camera slowly goest to the right showing some trees , and then "BOOM !!! "
