LATEST THEORIES

There's been a lot of talk about a Season 7, but it has also being said that BH has already figured out where to steer the plot.

For one thing I am sure though; i do not have the courage nor the strength to wait one more year to find out RJ's identity...i just dont....

Show this theory

Kind of off topic, but does anyone else think that Lisbon has been acting strange this whole season?  Not to mention that Jane is not telling her certain things, and also telling her things that aren't exactly right.  Either Robin Tunney has all of a sudden become a crummy actress, or the character is acting strange for a reason.  She is obviously not Red John, but does anyone think that she might be passing information along to either RJ or Tyger Tyger?

Theory #8064 • By PiotrPufpuf
Show this theory

After season 5 ended i posted a theory suggesting that Ellis Mars is Red John. Although i still strongly believe that he is Red John, i have recently come across some information that would also lead me to believe that Gale Bertram is RJ. I was recently watching an old episode of The Mentalist, called "Red Queen." Toward the middle of the episode Bertram is talking to Lisbon and when he is finished talking he recited a poem: "When thy little heart doth wake,Then the dreadful night shall break." This poem is called Cradle Song by William Blake. I then looked up the poem "Tiger Tiger" and i wasn't surprised to see that it was by the same writer, William Blake. This is a great reason to believe that Bertram is Red John, I still support my theory that Ellis Mars is Red John, and i actually don't believe that RJ is on the list of seven suspects simply because The Mentalist isn't your average crime show, and a simple proses of elimination wouldn't fit the style of the show, PJ has always been the mastermind solving the cases, and the only way to find RJ would be with his skills. If you haven't read my theory on Ellis Mars, go read it, and read the more recent ones as well, and i think you too will believe that Ellis Mars is Red John.

HI all

Just wanted to say I picked Brett as he was my choice from the beginning of season 6.  (After season two i think, i was convinced it was Kristina Fry and still kind of am lol).  Whether he is dead or not dead it doesn't matter.  Im probably wrong now but ill just leave it as that... just wrong and not try to pick someone else. 

I have one point to make and one concern. 

My point is whoever Red John ends up being, the majority of us will be wrong and very few of us will be right.  Cant wait to see all the "I told you so" comments from people lol.  I just really hope the reveal is climactic and not just a simple "here you go".  I really really hope it ends up being well done. 

My concern.  What happens to this website after we know who red john is.  I've enjoyed it very much with all the theories and even though my wife thinks I'm a nut when I relay all the theories back to her, I love how much time I've "wasted" on here. 

To the owner of the site, what an amazing job!  Really don't know what the plans are for after red john is revealed though :S which sucks.  I hope there is something lined up. 



Thanks for viewing

It's amazing how some people complain about things before they even know such a thing could happen. The episode is undergoing editing or finished. There's nothing you can do control freaks. Just keep the complaining to a minimum, we all have a right to vent, but its just stupid to invent something you"ll be angry about. Make a theory you would like to see, heaven forbid someone clicks implausible and your world comes crashing down.

I just got an interesting thought, considering haffner's advice to lisbon in the last episode... "Jane pissed off plenty of powerful people, not only RJ"
and my opinion is...we got it backwards this whole time, RJ is not "many", he is just one person, with plenty of powerful friends (one of seven-headed red dragon)
in other words, RJ is just a part from "the great red dragon" thing and there are plenty of people just like him (could be a plot after RJ/season 7)
After capturing /killing RJ, Jane would realize he's just a tip of the iceberg...what do you guys think?
