LATEST THEORIES

I am glad that there aren't any theories that say "Robert Kirkland is not really dead, those bullets were not real, he had to shoot to fool the driver" :) 

1) How does Kirkland know that his brother met RJ? As far as I see, he was just found by a Visualize member. (Remember barn killings? Guy had to abondon his family for good) I wonder how Kirkland connects his brother to RJ.

As for Bertram, Smith and McAllister. We can't know if any of these are RJ or not by their dialogue. I doubt that they know who RJ is. They know that RJ is a tyger tyger guy, but RJ wouldn't risk his identity.

So, to cover his identity, RJ has to act along. The best camouflage would be to cover RJ's mistakes. So Bertram can be RJ, but he also has to act like he is just a Tyger guy when he is with Smith and Tom. The same applies for the other 2.

2) What is the role of Bertram here? He is clearly more than what we see. He is in Tyger Tyger team, but he was also in Kirkland's team. That's a conflict of interest.

3) Kirkland didnt ask Jason Lennon the identity of RJ. For me, that is Bruno Heller messing up.

Also, I got a feeling that we will be exposed to dirty cops a lot this season. In Lost, in the first seasons they focused on only Dharma and we were quite curious. How does Dharma get supplies, since when are they there? What is the black smoke? Why are polar bears there? How does island cure cancer? etc etc.  But in the last season, they made it like these were quite small details and the big picture was Jacob and some other guy. And nothing was answered.

I fear that RJ will turn out to be just an ordinary member of Tyger community and the real enemies will be that team and we will focus on destrying this dirty community for the remaining episodes.

It's more a question.If the ''cult's'' people identify each other with ''Tyger Tyger'' why Brett told to Teresa ''Tyger Tyger'' before he died ? ^_^

Hi fellas

I haven't watched the fourth episode but this is the new update on the mentalist wiki about  eighth episode of the sixth season of The Mentalist ( RED JOHN )

This episode will possibly feature the revelation of Red John's true identity or the end of his narrative arc. It will also probably spell the end of the Tyger Tyger collective, causing ripples throughout law enforcement. Michael Gaston and Drew Powell are gonna be in this episode, meaning probably one of them is Red John.

I just hope they have a strong back story because i am really disappointed of my favorite show

Ok, after watching the last episode, it threw my theory of it being Kirkland out the window. I will most definately be very disappointed if it turns out to be a organization and not one person. I would still like to believe RJ is PJ him self, that would be a good ending to this section of the series. I agree with a previous comment on here, firstly about Cho and Tiger Tiger, he could be involved. I also think it has something to do with Rigsby and Van Pelt. They are leaving the show, so what will happen to them?

Also anyone else notice that when RJ kills his victums, he slits their throats, however in S5E16, when they find Lorelei at the end her throat isnt slit?? Curious isnt it? Maybe she isnt dead??

People are talking about Red John's voice. We all seen Red John's "skills" with computers. What I want to point out is that he could alter his voice digitaly, then using it while talking. And in "Red Sky in the Morning", he could use a HQ speaker.

After all, he hacked CBI internal servers (or w/e), and he couldn't do this?

Please post your thoughts.

When I'll have some time, I'll submit my theory about "Tyger, Tyger" organization.
