Nick Nordella plays "young man" in episode 7(great red dragon) and 8(Red John) (imdb casting: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3196216/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2

Here's a clear shot of his face: https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000505333291/e2dd7cd4a86c764cf6895d619e1a6752.jpeg

Now here's a clear shot of xander berkeley(he who plays mcallister): http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120918094811/marvelmovies/images/2/2b/Xander_Berkeley.jpg

The "young man" role is probably a flashback of his visualize experience and first murder!!
They looks almost the same, a young to old comparision.
Look familiar? yeah i thought so too, discuss =D

Hi everyone.
I re-watched the episode where that crazy Rebbeca  woman kills Bosco's team. When they are taking her away, the man coming towards her poisons her (as we know).
If this man is Red John, then it can only be Brett Partridge. They show him for a second from the back and he is tall and thin and has BROWN, short hair (definitely not white, grey, or bald, but dark brown hair).
Of course it could be someone who just works for Red John. However when this person is coming towards crazy Rebbeca, she has the happiest, most joyful face, like she is seeing God or something. (please watch it if you have time and you will know what I mean). This makes me think that it was RJ personally, who poisoned her. But if it really was him, then it can only be Partridge from the list. He is the only tall(ish), thin person there with brown hair.

Actually, I posted my theory as a fanofmentalist, but they did not post it. I do not know why? I posted my first theory about walking steps of RJ in #5638. so, at that time, Patrick realised to Bertram's steps sounds. In se6ep3, Patrick told to Sheriff that he comes to Jane silently and Jane did not recognize him. I think Patrick has already known who RJ is and he is gathering some information, that's clues. If you remember when RJ saved Patrick's life, Patrick heard RJ's steps and, once RJ told Patrick a poem "Tyger, Tyger", RJ went away, we could hear it from his steps. But, suddenly, RJ touches Patrick from his left side with his hand and told about Crystine Frye. At that time also Patrick was afraid, because RJ came silently.
Any comments?

Ok- let me first say that I do not really believe that the "lady" feeding the pigeons was Brett Partridge.

BUT, for those of you who do... This will be entertaining!

JACK PLOTNICK ACTUALLY DOES DRESS IN DRAG IN REAL LIFE-

At least for a tv show/ movie titled " girls will be girls"

OK this isn't a betting game but here's my conception of the odds and a couple of thoughts. 

Ray Haffner:  15% chance  - overall a strong fit but not a knockout in terms of being an exciting ending because he's just not that great of a villain. Likes Lisbon so he will be be punished. (This is basic TV psychology)

Walter Mashburn: 15% chance - Good villain and remember, he had sex with Lisbon so he's got a big payback coming. Maybe in "He is Mar" the "r" is an incomplete "s". His odds would be a higher if he were on the list of 7 and if we'd seen him in episodes more recently.

Multiple people: 15% - "He is Mar" could be an incomplete "He is Many".  Kind of a cop-out but fits what has been going on. This would maybe leave room for the storyline to continue in the future.  If this is the case, then Stiles is heavily involved.

McAllister: 10% chance - Smart guy, cagey, and seems pretty creepy in a restrained way.  Plus there's extra points for being with the show from the start, because the writers would want to have a go-to guy in case they need to wrap the story up.

Brett Partridge: 10% chance - It would be pretty bogus to pull a zombie trick but as PJ says, anything can happen on TV. Plus he gets points for lurking since the beginning.

Kirkland:  10% - Evil as they come but not a cult leader and incapable of seducing LM. He sure looks like he had a face transplant though.

CBI Ron: 10% chance - A somewhat hokey choice. He'll need some character development real quick to be viable. But potentially an appealing lurker character.

Reede Smith:  5% chance - Likes cold weather because he's fat. This clue fits but many of the others don't, and he really doesn't have much prominence or character development yet.

Bertram and others: 10% combined.  Bertram can't win at poker, and he doesn't seem like that strong of a villain.

Theory #6269 • By paintlikemad2
Show this theory

not a theory, just some thoughts. i really don't have a theory at this point. seems like each suspect has a compelling 'for' and 'against' argument. 

i re-watched the 3rd episode tonight, and something about the rigsby/gvp wedding struck a nerve. i feel like i remember reading somewhere that red john referred to his female victims as his 'brides.' (can anyone back me up on that?)

what if the smiley face isn't a smiley face, but a wedding ring symbol. 

if we read it in that fashion, then the 'random' female victims become brides, so 'relatives,' and a lot of the other crimes involve 'family:' the sisters kidnapped at the end of the first season (one bride for red john who is killed, one for dumar to be caged), timothy carter and his wife (making it a 'family' affair. and the girl they had kidnapped was in a room like their 'kept daughter.') the baby stolen for laura san giacomo's character, and lorelei and her sister. 

i'm reading red john as a twisted 'father figure,' building his 'family' through subtraction. maybe it wasn't that patrick insulted red john with 'sick little man' comments. maybe it was the fact patrick specifically indicated he was helping the police find the killer, and red john saw his 'family' threatened. he responds by killing patrick's family, as a message: 'this is what it felt like you were doing to me.' the other killings done to prevent discovery or hide evidence become red john 'protecting his family.'
