So I am going through all Blake's poems to see if I can catch a clue and is amazing how often the expression "silver hair" or "white hair" appears. I am not saying it is Stiles I'm just very suspicious about him now... and I think you should take a look at this poem:


The Ecchoing Green

The Sun does arise,
And make happy the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around.
To the bells chearful sound.
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green.

Old John with white hair
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk,
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say.
Such such were the joys.
When we all girls & boys,
In our youth-time were seen,
On the Ecchoing Green.

Till the little ones weary
No more can be merry
The sun does descend.
And our sports have an end:
Round the laps of their mothers,
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest;
And sport no more seen,
On the darkening Green.

William Blake

And this other piece also from Blake:

"I rest not from my great task!
To open the Eternal Worlds,
to open the immortal Eyes
Of Man inwards into the Worlds of Thought."

My bet's on Partrigde. But this a comment on something that just struck me: what if PJ made the video HIMSELF of Loreli saying the 7 suspects. He could have crafted that video himself in order to send Lisbon (and consequently the whole gang) on a goose chase after those shady characters PJ suspects are up to no good. Who also PJ does not believe ARE RJ, but that scrutinizing them could LEAD  him to RJ. This would explain how the heck that video was made.

How possibly could RJ have known a list of suspects in PJ's head? a) RJ is psychic? Waaay too easy. We are supposed to bite that bait. naw. b)He saw a list of those names? A fake list set out by PJ just in case he was spyed upon? plausible, but also not very intriguing writing.

Another thing,  if someone can so easily (twice now) get into PJ's room, why then are those people not bugging the room? And why are PJ and Lisbon not cautious in that regard? They blab on and on in his room RIGHT after PJ's room was (allegedly) broken into for the "fake" list -as we know it. Poor writing? Heller way underestimating audience? i dont think so. this is way too obvious a consideration. basic spy tactics, c'mon. Perhaps PJ knows/assumes room is bugged (like any good detective/mentalist would conclude) and makes sure he only says things in that room he doesnt care that RJ (or whoever the bugger may be) hears. He may even say things deliberately to lead listener in a particular direction.

summary:
1)PJ crafted Loreli video. she agreed for whatever reason or exchange.
2)Video sent Lisbon down a path to get the 7
3)PJ was broken into for the fake list
4)PJ assumes he's being bugged so uses it to his advantage.
5)PJ tells Lisbon only what he needs her to hear to get him closer bcs HE wants to be the ONLY and FIRST one to catch and destroy RJ.

I would be very disappointed if RJ was Lisbon. After reading, it states that RJ has been around from the beginning. Lisbon has been around from the beginning.  I just find it odd that we just get an episode that flashes back to PJ first day meeting everyone so late in the show. In that episode, he and Lisbon aren't quick friends... she is not very excited about PJ coming to view the files... in fact, she states she was hoping he wouldn't come back, but welcomes him none the less... I think she tests his "abilities" and then decides he needs to be closer. My thoughts range this way because, I can't see RJ being a parent as Rigsby is and Van Pelt being a fulltime stepmom... I rule out Cho bc he just seems to be Cho, nothing special and after his stint with Angel is it... PJ personality disorder, no... they have not said if the show will renew or not and I can't see it renewing w/o PJ... I believe its Lisbon bc when they met they were not quick friends... just what is her back story? what serious relationships has she really had? Additionally, I don't want all that RJ did not kill her in S6E1 bc he knows PJ cares for her... that would have been all the reason to do it... she used Partridge's blood and painted the smiley face herself.  The dream in the hospital was her breaking from reality subconsciously with those who are in on it with her.  That is why her visitor kept asking was she ok and why was she so nervous... the nurse coming in asking about Carmen Lee was no mistake either... I believe the nurse is one of her people and was just checking in to see if she was ok especially with that visitor.  Moreover, she left the hospital w/o discharge... why wasn't she asked to return... no mention of it at all...Lisbon is RJ and if not, she definitely has something to do with him... and besides, who broke into PJ room... remember he asked her for a pad lock, why... he could have brought one himself... he wanted her there for a reason... I think she took the bait... and what book was he reading that he put under the pillow when she knocked at the door... odd, bc why not just put the book down, why place it under something... PJ knows... and Lisbon has something to do with RJ, I look at how annoyed she was in a recent episode when she drove off and left him and the others at the bar to solve a case bc he had not given her information... why be that upset... after all, you've worked with PJ all this time, you know his M-O.... additionally, I find the left for PJ giving the 7 names was strange... that lady is not dead... it was all for show... PJ when her body was discovered, told Lisbon... its ok, she had it coming... PJ was very dismissive... it was weird... Lisbon is RJ or very close to him for whatever reason...

I believe we should not trust the list because of this new "tyger tyger" organization. Jane, possibly, accounted that the RJ suspects met Todd Johnson at some point. But what if Johnson was not related to RJ but to the organization? When Jane discovers this organization and its passcode, "Tyger Tyger", he is bound to remake the list because there was something he couldn't account in his investigation. The "Tyger Tyger" organization.

There may be the same names in the list, but I don't believe we can FULLY trust Jane's list.

Tonights episode will feature Jane visiting Ray in the gym, where upon arrival Jane sees Ray bench pressing two pigeons in nothing but his underwear. Realising that Ray is not afraid of birds and doesn't have a tattoo, Jane is about to cross Ray off the RJ list until out of the blue Ray asks jane to fetch him a gatorade from upstairs because he's afraid of heights.

SERIOUSLY Rj's phobia maybe of heights, birds or something completely different. I consider myself to be a pretty good whistler to.

Until we get some more definitive clues or someone gets killed off then i don't think we can exclude anybody thats still alive on the list, even as much as I would hate it being Reede smith, you can't cross him off yet.

P.s. where did this tattoo thing come from apart from the the name of the episode?

Cmon guys, stop with the Jane is RJ bullsh*t!

To me there are only 3 viable suspects from the list

1) Ray Haffner
2) Gale Bertram
3) Brett Styles

It can't be Reed Smith as he's just a fat peice of lard who needs to lose some weight.
Can you imagine him commanding loyalty off people, and hypnotising them?

LOL
