Theory #7959 • By PJRocks
Show this theory

Okay, so, still hoping for Minelli or the Sherriff. I'd be okay with Partridge, too...all I want is a great ending that ties it all together and stays true to Patricks character.

So...did RJ really try to plant the bug? I don't think so. I think it was the Tyger gang. PJ didn't surmise that correctly...because he hasn't quite defined the Tyger connection. Also, I don't think it was RJ who killed the PI...it was a Tyger guy. My guess is that they all have the red tattoo. PJ refers t it as leverage...makes me think he is using the existence of the tattoo to pull someone out of hiding...not sure how though...maybe one of the five real
Y is connected personally to RJ and the the fact that PJ is threatening their lives makes RJ reveal himself to PJ.

And are we sure the explosion occurs whee PJ has the suspects? Could it be another building. Maybe RJ attacking Lisbon.

Anyone have any thoughts.

thy patridge shall rise again.

however below there is a theory "not fun at all" but interesting about Partridge being RJ and being killed by tiger.org and that will keep PJ wondering why and seeking revenge.

and it will reconcile partidge fans and none fans.

It wasn't red john who had the tattoo, that was probably one  of his assassins who did the killing like agent smith .she never said it was red john .Jane said that to Lisbon. red john is a master mind a man of art and mystery . he does things clean  not messy. the very same thing jane said to WALTER MASHBURN  "you have a DIRTH PHOBIA" . think about it . WALTER also mentioned to Jane in that same episode "YOUR KNOW YOU DISSAPOINT ME" observe the manner and facial expression when he was telling him that as if its a teacher or parent speaking to a student/child. A BIG clue is that RJ always refer to Jane as Patrick he never calls him by "JANE". Every other person always call him JANE or MR JANE but not so WITH WALTER MASHBURN , he calls him by his first name ''PATRICK!"  jus AS RJ do. THAT  killing with the PI woman  was two messy to be RED JOHN , NO art and unfinished, "NOT clean at all" when red john does a murder he like it to be known (receive an audience ) and in a form of mystery, the death must speak out for it self,it  must be a work well planned and well done .RJ  likes art. A better suspect will be WALTER MASHBURN. 
                                              ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN MIND ABOUT  RJ

Theory #7947 • By CuriousToo

Interesting show, but as the twists and riddles unwind, I came to my own conclusion that Red John is the ulter ego of Patrick Jane, or vice versa, as in Primal Evil. It started when he was a child until he killed his own family. Both sharing many traits, even with the last episode having Jane in sight when the murder took place has not altered my thought, as the power of suggestion causes others to act on his behalf as many have done in this show. All have died who have seen this other side of Jane, except the little girl at the grave yard. Other than that, my only other perception is one that has not been shown, such as a brother not yet revealed. The trick of this show seems to be not in what you see, but it in what you hear and can piece together.
