 my thoughts on

s06e01 the pidgeon theory
why would red john lure partride.. or bring partridge to a dark dusty room full of pidgeons and plan the attack on lisbon if he is affraid of pidgeons? unless red john knows one of the suspects on the list is affraid and wants to create a fake clue/distraction from himself

and the odd thing.. why would patrick say and s06e01... in the hospital to lisbon about the smiley face on lisbons face:
'rj was just being playfull, runnning out of time, maybe something spooked him, and he couldnt go through his usual routine'..  now... would rj lure lisbon to a room... and then be like.. ohh damn.. i run out of time.. well smiley face... ill let here live..... nahh doesnt sound right....
and .. ohh nooooooo a pidgeon... ill draw a smiley face and leave! nahh

but why does lisbon live... ? maybe because she could say that partrigde said tiger tiger to patrick? draw attention away from partridge?

s06e02  the whistling
why would red john, knowing that patrick might found out he visited Sophie Miller, starts to whistle in the waiting room of sophie miller so she would notice... unless this is  someone on the list likes to whistle aswell

i think red john faked these 2 clues to distract attention from him... 

the writers do a awesome job if misdirecting everyone... i can see many member switching suspects when a new episodes aired

i dont really know who rj is.... i really like the partridge theory about he being not dead,  jack plotnick is a awesome actor and when i saw this video he made i really believed he could be red john.. and besides the video.. in episode s06e01  he has a evil laugh about the corpse on the ground.... like he enjoyed death

it would be awesome if heller and plotnick used the 
outside media to fool the watchers, but maybe thats far fedged

i just think that we are not getting/finding the good clues here... if 90% of the watches see a clue, then im convinced its not a clue.. a red herring

But the only real question about Sheriff McAllister is:

Why did he cut his mustache ?

To me, the list is divided in many parts:

1. People who have a major interest in finding out who RJ is- Kirkland (representing Homeland Security), Smith (representing the FBI), Haffner (representing the private area), and Bertram (who I don`t know whose interests is representing, given his weird conversation with Smith)
2. People who have a strange connection to Red John:
- Partridge is the fan (and probably one of his disciples)- he is always guessing wrongly when it comes to RJ murders, so unless he does it on purpose, I guess this could be a clue related to his death. Maybe he was working for RJ and he made a mistake. I did something wrong. I am just guessing about his death, this theory isn`t about that)
-Bret Stiles, who, to me seems to be a former mentor of Red John. He doesn`t agree with RJ`s behavior, but does nothing to stop it. I think he is feeling guilty somehow about it. 
-Sheriff McAllister - this man is very interesting and weird. Maybe he is RJ, but something tells me that he isn`t. Anyway, he definitely is somehow connected to RJ.

My point is, none of them seems to have the motive to be Red John. I`m not saying that you should agree with me, because, at this point, anything is 100% sure.  Anyway, it kinda feels like the writers are reading all these theories and introduce them into the story. The CBI Ron thing, the pigeons fear, all that seems a little too much for me. 
When Jane said to Lisbon "I could marry you off in an instant" he was actually looking very attentively at RON, like he was speaking with him. And like he was threatening him. Weird.

Well, it;s obviously that each of the first 7 episodes aims to turn our attention towards one of the 7 suspects. The 1st - Brett Partridge, 2nd - Haffner, 3rd- Tom Mcalistair, 4th - Kirkland (see the next promo), etc. , so that in the 8th we'll find out who RJ is (I hope).
Now, it will be very interesting if Partridge will be the only dead-one of the 7 suspects, at the end of episode 7. Because that means Bruno Heller wanted from the beginning of season 6 to exclude Brett from our theories (he knows that most people suspect  him). Heller just wants that we forget about Partridge (he's dead, he's out of the list) - and so it is I see.. :)) Now, most of the last theories are about Haffner, Tom, next week will be about Kirkland, and then Stiles or Reede, bla bla.
Heller truly wants to mislead us, all the time, that's my opinion. He said in an interview that we'll be disappointed when we'll find out who is RJ. Well, actually , people wouldn't be disappointed if Brett Partridge is Red John, but the contrary.  I believe he only wants to make us thinking to a suspect which can really disappoint us (maybe Reede, or Tom or even Patrick). He is playing with us, and he tells us in his interviews only what he wants us to believe.
I still think Brett is Red John and I agree with the theories of the Revelation, 666 number and the dragon with the seven heads ... u've read about...

After watching episode 6x03 I don't think we have more reasons to suspect McAllister than we did before. What did or said doesn't prove anything. we can say he's RJ because we can see everything we know (or we are made to beleave we know) about RJ to discribe this guy!
Well no. We have not made any progress if everything he does or say can be also explained in a logical way. Why. Because then it's up to Heller to deside if he is RJ and make it happen.
Only things that could not be explained in other way than him being RJ, can be taken into account. Why? Because we have strange things for every other person in the show, that could be explained with that person being RJ.
So. What did McAllister did in this episode? CBI arrives at his jurisdiction and takes over.
The same happened in episode 1x02 and he was not happy about it, although he wasn't showing it much. Then he got emparased with Van Pelt and he didn't solve the case, Jane did.
So we expect him this time to be polite, cool, cooperative and not get in their way in a way they would get offended.
At the same time he has to show any way he can that he is sheriff for a reason and he isn't useless. And we all see that he does more than that in the end.

OK in the chapel Lisbon tells him to climb the ladder to get a hammer. Well nice is nice but he wouldn't do labor for these guys, he can get others to do work. So when he says about he would need other shoes, it's obvious that he is in the sheriff's shoes, and their errand boy. Look at the that scene. Can you see him standing like the authority he is?
Later at the cliff Jane tells him "come over here fela have a look". Well he is no "fela" he's the sheriff! Doesn't mean he's suspecious that he didn't go. And don't forget thet he was interupted.
From then on he is the nicest guy really. When Jane tells him he and his men need to hang back while Jane puts his plan to work, McAllister has no problem at all.
After he saves Jane he finaly tells him that he ignored him telling him to hang back, because he didn't trust them the way they forced their way to this case. He is still polite though. As for the pingeons flying to his face, well no one would like that.

Personaly I don't see anything suspicious about McAllister in this episode.
