[wiki-quote]Self-realization
is a maturing of the ego or personality to accept its own evanescence and thus
allow space for the true Self to reveal itself[/wiki-quote]

 



The whole
RJ phenomenon is surrounded by Visualize, since he is the perfect example of
someone who found his true self and lives by it. Since RJ obviously still is a
Visualize member he's being aided and protected by the cult. Bret Stiles and RJ
might even have a master/apprentice relationship, with Brett Stiles being the
master and RJ the apprentice. Brett
Partridge seems to fit the role of RJ perfectly. His posture and voice
resembles RJ 's appearance in the season two finale `Red Sky in the Morning`.
Brett has a job that feeds his obsession and after hours he gives in to his
true self.

 


The thing
is... 5 out of the 7 suspects (sorry hardly any info on the Sheriff and Reed
Smith) all individually have some of the ingredients of the RJ soup, but none
of them have the complete set. The Bret/Brett combo tastes like great RJ soup
to me.

 



And on a
side note:

 


Kirkland
was able to figure out the 7 potential suspects on PJ lists (after copying all
the info in Jane's room) and fed the information to Brett Stiles or RJ himself.

 

Kirkland
question for the accomplice (before he kills him) 'Do you remember my face?' is
possibly to verify if he recognises him a as fellow Visualize member. If he
would have answered by saying "Yes" then Kirkland would probably have
said something like "Then you know what needs to be done.".

 



RJ was able
to kill Jane's happy memory, because he knew about this dream. This information
could have been retrieved in possibly two ways: 1. During Jane's dark times in
the asylum, where the shrink possible performed some regression therapy on Jane
with `the happy childhood moment` being the cliché question. The info could be
passed to Visualize in many ways. Accomplices inside the asylum or by Ray
Haffner being the expert in wiretaps and creative surveillance techniques... Or
2. During Jane's time at the Visualize centre where he fell `asleep` and
meanwhile was being robbed of his memories. 



One thing
I'm 100% certain of..... I can't wait for season 6 to start! ;)

 

 

 

 

Well this has been going through my mind a couple times since I saw the finale. I was thinking that maybe Patrick knows exactly who Red John is now and wants to drag him out slowly. I say this because when Kirkland stole Patrick's info and Patrick found the toothpick, I think he knew he tricked whoever was stealing his info by giving them false info. Now here's why I think Patrick knows exactly who RJ is now. Somehow Patrick tricked RJ and gave him a list to come up with from the board, but only of six people, and Patrick knows as the cocky person Red John is he'd feel compelled to put his own name on the list. So maybe Patrick knows who he is, because the one person on the list that he didn't trick him to put on the list is on there. I think Patrick won.

so it has been confirmed by heller that RJ is one of the 7 on the list, is he lying? i don't think so it would upset too many fans to do that at this point,  So it's now not going to be such a surprise when we find out WHO is RJ no... but the surprise will be of WHY I suppose?...

I am intrigued to know why RJ does it? what made Rj like that to start with? how he gets so many people following him? killing themsleves for him? just the whole RJ thing!! so for me I'm hoping the shock value now will be in all those things as we know now its def one of the 7 on the list.

Lorelei - I don't believe she is dead either, I think the whole thing has been a set up somehow by RJ.

ok lastly i have just to say this...

PJ is not rj....

and Lisbon is not rj (or an accomplice)...think about it... she loves jane, that much is obvious especially after series 5 & no matter she is always there for him.  She won't turn or be turned and she will prob get her heart broken by Jane as he will always put his revenge on RJ 1st no matter what!!!!  without her, the show has no true characters in it? does it? & you need that in a show like this one especially when you can't even trust the main character (in most situations.)
