Hello,

I watched Red John episodes again. Red John episodes also includes the season finales. So i realized two important things. Firstly, we saw Brett Patridgeusually in Red John cases. But he always appears in Fake Red John cases.I thing this is very interesting. There are 3 fake Red John episodes that i haven't watched yet which are 1x01, 2x23 and one more, anyway. Remember what Red John said end of the  2x23, when he was killing the girl : " If there is one thing I have not seen nice ,this will be cheap imitations of my work . " ( Or something like that ) Maybe Brett Patridge is Red John and he appears in fake Red John cases because  he can get clue about imitation and kill him or her. Because of Brett Patridge's behaviors, voices and some another things like these, i thought Red John is Brett Patridge until i realized this detail:

Take closer look at the this scenes please, At 2x23 , take a closer look on how red john walks between 39.15-39.22 You see how he walks.How he moves his foot.Gif : http://i.imgflip.com/4a7bq.gif
Now at 6x02, watch very carefully the scene between 6:10 and 6.18.Did you see how Ray Haffner walking?!Gif : http://i.imgflip.com/4a7e2.gif

If you really watch carefully you will see that Ray Haffner and Red John walks exactly same. From now, i think Ray Haffner is Red John. Also we haveanother clues that we can't ignore.
- Under 6 feet tall- Not muscular but not soft either- Short, straight hair- Gentle and Soft Voice- Tough and strong hands

Apparently name definitions are very important to Bruno Heller.  Check out this interview question answered by the creator himself:

"Q: Can you tell us why The Mentalist's name is Patrick Jane?
BH: Hello! This is the first time that someone asks me this question, and this needs to be developed. Primarily, Patrick is a good old Irish name and I adore it. Moreover, his surname -Jane- is a woman's name, an aspect that I wanted to sneak in his identity, because his personality is gracious and seductive. Lastly, in English, Jane is pronounced "jaine", like an ascetic religion that extol the virtues of the
nonviolence. The Mentalist likes better other tools to reach his goals."

After looking up all the definitions for all 7 men on the list, only Gale Bertram's was of any significance:

Gale = strong wind (denotes mystery, elusiveness, and of course strength)

Bertram = "The name Bertram comes from the Germanic name Bertram, which is composed of the elements berht, meaning "bright" or "famous," and hrabn, meaning "raven."  So basically a dark, brilliant, and famous creature--not to mention the notorious reputation of ravens in our culture.  

As for all you pinning the red on Bret Partridge.  Would Bruno Heller name Red John after a "plump game bird"?

PS:  Check out the creepy music tone with the picture of Gale Bertram on the wall at the very end of the episode "If it bleeds, it leads" (Season 5, Episode 7) when Patrick exits with tea in hand.  It illustrates perfectly how Bertram, like a raven on his perch, has his eye on everybody's back, from a position of prestige, advantage, and control.   

Since the actors who play Brett Partridge and Robert Kirkland are not listed in the cast of the showdown episode 6-7, I think it is safe to assume that their characters are both dead.  Since Sheriff McCallister is included in the cast, my previous assumption that he would be killed in Ep. 6-,4 is incorrect.  The body shown in the prevue for Ep. 6-4 may be someone not on the list of the seven that was revealed by RJ through Lorelei on the dvd.  I believe it is possible that Kirkland kidnaps and tortures PJ because he found out that the list he stole from PJ was fake, and he wants the real list, but I suspect that before he injures PJ too much, RJ will interfere and perhaps kill Kirkland.  RJ wants to keep PJ alive, has rescued him from death before.
