(Posting from another account since it won't seem to let me submit a new theory after my original one - is this a bug?)

In a previous theory about the 6x2 pigeon lady, I believe someone mentioned there were 7 pigeons and one flew away.

I
didn't rewatch 6x2 but I made sure to pay close attention to the birds
in 6x3. Jane is feeding the swans, and there are 3 close ups. The first
is when he arrives at the crime scene. They show 7 swans. The second is
when he returns to the crime scene, and they show 7 swans again. But a
few seconds after that, they show 6 swans swimming together. Perhaps this symbolizes that Partridge is dead, so 6 suspects left.

But
in the last scene with McAllister in 6x3, a lone bird flies out of
nowhere and hits him in the face. "Didn't see that coming." If Partridge
is indeed RJ, the seven swans to six symbolizes his "death", but his
return at the end is foreshadowed by the one bird that everyone thought
was gone hitting you in the face, the bird that no one will see coming.

I
also was staring at McAllister's hands as he pulled Jane up on the
roof. No ring, people. (Remember the RJ teacup scene where he had a ring
on his left hand.) And to those who are saying that McAllister's pigeon
phobia suggests he is RJ...I think RJ probably loves pigeons. The
pigeons were in the Partridge house the entire time RJ was hiding out
there. RJ wasn't scared off by the pigeons; he never intended to kill
Lisbon to begin with; he just wanted to send her back to Jane with his
mark on her.

I see so many parallels with Red Dragon now (refer
to my previous post on Partridge). New one: Jane's description of RJ
describes a slight speech impediment. In Red Dragon, someone addresses
the serial killer thus:


"I can hear that you've had...







some kind of soft palate repair.







But I understand you fine

because you speak very well" (implying she was expecting a speech impediment).

Partridge is coming back, I can almost smell it.

I hope we don't have a bunch of people saying its McAllister cuz he's afraid of birds or pigeons.

That's WAY TOO OBVIOUS!

Whether you think it is plausible or unlikely, tell me if this did not cross your mind. I know this would be a terrible way to end it, but...

Why do Mr and Mrs Rigsby have to leave the show, if the new regulations allow them to continue on the team and be a couple? Weren't you nervous when the walked in front of that 21-gun salute -- especially with that creepy General Custer fellow in the firing squad? Foreshadowing maybe?

I would not like it either folks, but what better reason for them leaving the show can you give now? Is one of them dirty? Is one of them (or both) going down? You can't put it past Red John. In fact, you should expect it.

Whatever happens, we know one thing for sure: Bye Bye, Newlyweds. 

PJ knew someone was trying to find out about his stuff so he left FAKE material.  

Kirkland obviously was behind it and got a fake list and in 06x04, he is going to find out his list is fake and he is pissed.

Someone else had earlier specified that Kirkland was trying to find Red John himself and the torture threat of PJ makes me think that he lost someone to Red John and is intent on killing RJ himself.  So he is torturing PJ to get the real list.

Bruno Heller has confirmed that RJ is on the list of seven so now it seems that it's not Partridge or Kirkland.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Red John save Patrick from Kirkland.

My best guess is that RJ is Reede Smith, but that's based on the earlier theory by someone else:

My main point was that I don't think it's Kirkland based on what we just saw.

Biggest red herring in TV history, or the real deal?

End of 6x3, bird flys in front of McAllister and scares the shit out of him. He says "Didn't see that coming". 

I didn't want to believe the pidgin theory, but damnit, might be true.
