LATEST THEORIES

Heller comes onto this website every day waiting for the Sheriff to overtake Brett Partridge... so that he can finally reveal Brett Partridge as Red John.

Many months later, in an interview alongside cast members, he will declare "Noone saw it coming." Cho will stand up, and he will look in the eyes of Jane and Lisbon. They will both nod their heads together. Cho will explode into a sprint, and will proceed to carry out a crunching take-down of Heller. By the rules of the show, Heller will finally break, and explain to Cho and the audience why he killed the show, not sparing any details.

It doesn't matter whichever way its being dressed up: Red John was working against the BA or working with the help of the BA. Either way, Jane killed the man who killed his wife and kids. And this man was a sad and whimpering disappointment. 

Timothy Carter knew what Jane's daughter and wife smelled like the night they were murdered. He got this information from whoever killed Jane's family. If Timothy Carter is BA, then he received this information from a fellow BA person. Then we find out McAllister is this man, the head of the BA. Jane killed McAllister, the man who killed his wife and kids.

Finding out there's another Red John who didn't actually kill Jane's family would just be another unnecessary low blow. Not to mention the majority of the viewing audience don't give a crap about generic corrupt cop associations.

Timothy Carter was given an award by THE SHERIFF for making a search team for a missing girl. The missing girl that was in his basement.
The Ba always to me had a sex slave spin to it. Macalister salivating over Van Pelt was interesting. If only he had a van and some candy.
Wouldn't it be cool if this human trafficking thing from season 6 was connected to the Ba? It ended kinda cool but the bad guy didn't seem bad enough.
I tell you what tho, the first thing that came to my mind when i saw his face for the first time.
Immediately a name popped in my head and i am curious if it did with you too. He looks like the brother of a character we are all not to fond of right now. Rip. If somehow that was all related it be cool.

Watching the season 3 finale and 4 opening was very interesting as you can see i cant shut up about it.
Its blatant to see that Bertram was intent on Jane going to jail for Carters murder for obvious Ba reasons. Ardilles too.
-But what i don't get is this...why would red john want Jane to go to jail? The Ba sure did, somebody stole the gun and phone making sure Jane went to jail.
Rj would not want to the game to end like that. What fun is toying with Jane when he is in jail? Shit he killed Bosco just so Jane could have the case!

Another thing that struck me. Jane when he thought Carter was Red John, was happy as can be when he killed him. Comical with his sense of humor in tact when he asked the waitress for the check. Maybe Jane was menopausal by season 6 and the Macalister stuff got to him?Nope.
This episode was the beginning of the Ba type Red John. Before this he was some guy who by himself killed women in the cleanest way possible.
This episode he uses a guy with a bomb to get codes to an account with money stuff on it but the plan blew up so to speak. Then he hired a hitman to kill hightower in a hotel from intel he got from wispers in cbi that were planted. That plan crashed hard. On the pavement. The hitman jumped to avoid jail.
Then there was Olaughlin walking into a house in daylight to kill what 8 people ? Haha

*For red john to switch his style up like this so drastically and sloppily for reasons ONLY to kill Hightower and ONLY to frame her for the Todd Johnson murder? Johnson his own person who succeeded in killing cops for him? Do you see how that does not add up? I bet nobody thought the writing was bad in season 3 right?
Well its not bad, there is a reason for everything. Why would all these strings connect in the 2nd to last season anyway? Baker was signed on for 7 years for a reason, this encore would of happened no matter what.
-if i didn't watch the old episodes i would never pick up on anything. This summer you guys should watch the classics with what i am saying in mind. Heller does not matter he is a name. The writing team and Baker make the show and they most likely would like to tie up their show in its FINAL SEASON.

The best evidence or line for Jane being Red John came in the Bosco murder episode.
When thinking about what evidence Bosco was on too related to Carter Peak which happened years ago
Jane says "Well I AM younger and less experienced at that time"

I know he was thinking in terms of Red John but you have to hear him say it.
Thats all he said and it was way awkward. Watch that again..

so if we are going to pretend that RJ was not a pathetic small town sheriff who was afraid of birds, who was an avid hunter but carried the worlds weakest gun the meet his nemesis, who couldn't manhandle GVP, who had wicked awesome PC hacking skills, then we need to explain why he hasn't killed in nearly 3 years.  serial killers don't just hang up their blades and call it a day.  they are addicted to killing, much like the way that formercop is addicted to being a raging douchebag.

maybe RJ has put a hold on killing to concentrate on his hew wife and baby......

-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.
