Personally i think kirkland is RJ. Everybody thinks its "too obvious"
Thats exactly why i think he is Red John. Another thing.. i believe reede
Smith is going to be a bigger factor in the RJ storyline than we would expect. Why
Would Jane include him in the list if he wasnt't in some way or another. Almost Everybody automatically just ignores him when talking RJ.... And thats exactly what bruno heller wants! It will interesting to learn more about him throughout the new episodes coming up!!
Personally I think Heller is going to take each episode (leading up to 06X08 when RJ is revealed) and make each suspect look really shady. Last week it was Haffner. This week it's McAllister (from the promo video). There will then be four episodes until the reveal of RJ, with four suspects left (Stiles, Bertram, Kirkland and Smith). I don't know, they're all suspicious in their own ways. I think Kirkland and Haffner are the only viable options, but I'm fairly certain that all the suspects are connected to the case in one way or another.
Just a thought....but it would be very entertaining if we were to learn that Bob Kirkland was somebody that we knew previously in the show....It would explain why he killed Jason Lennon and asked if he recognized him...it would also explain why Lennon said no...because Kirkland Is Red John and he's changed his identity...........I don't know it's more of a thought, not that I'm convinced this is the case.
In Red All Over, when Patrick introduces Lisbon to the little girl, he says "Theresa" the same way Red John says it at the end of S6E1. A previous poster had asked about this, but I can't find the post now.
RJ's PHOBIA
I agree with Theory #5302 about RJ's phobia possibly being a fear of pigeons, BUT even so, the birds seemed in the house while Partridge was killed, so it's not clear --- though Libson had called for back up long before she entered the house and perhaps it had finally arrived. I suspect though that RJ enjoyed spooking her with the "blood on your hands" [in this case, face] symbolism as he clearly made a statement that Libson's interference caused him to kill Partridge, as if SHE had killed him or MADE RJ have to kill him.
THE "LIST"
This list of seven, now six -- it is not the only list PJ has made. In "Black Cherry," Jane had a different list of 10 suspects in his book. So when Heller says the name is definitely on the list, he could be talking about that one, too.
PJ would NEVER want RJ to know he's on to him.
I think I more then one -red john.
One small detail....actually dialogue between Lisbon and PJ talking on the phone when PJ enters the house of his psy Sophie:
L: What made you think of her?
PJ: i dont know, doctors, hospitals..
L: You think RJ learned about E. Turner from her
PJ: He must have, I MUST HAVE TOLD HER A LOT OF THINGS I DONT REMEMBER....I WAS ON SERIOUS MEDICATION
Later when he was in the office with Lisbon they were talking this:
J:....i know something that RJ doesnt, Sophie dictatded her notes, SHE COULDNT TYPE, NEVER LEARNED, SHE WAS KINDA PROUD OF THE FACT, SHE HAD A SERVICE THAT SCRIBED EVERYTHING FOR HER....
MY QUESTION: Jane didnt remember things about him self that he told to Sophie because he was on serious medication but he remembered that she could not type and that she had a service and that she was proud of that fact?? Coincidence? Or he was lying or he is two faced...
PLEASE COMMENT :)
