LATEST THEORIES

Hey guys, i wont to share my "Big Bang Theory" with you. This is a copied post from the german version of this website. I just used the translator, because i needed to long to translate it by miseld. Also my english ist not that good. I hope you could follow my theory. Have fun...

I will summarize again :
We have 7 suspects in which Bruno Heller has confirmed that one of them is definitely Red John . Patridge and Kirkland have already been deleted. We have to note that Red John has a good appearance, a " fit " body has and has a good network to the CBI . I dare even the thesis that there is no way to Haffner over!

My arguments are as follows:
Stiles,
Bertram , Smith and McAllister not conform to the description of the
therapist , whose recordings ( acrophobia , handsome , middle age) ,
Jane found . We still know that he has an undeniable success with women . For Haffner , however , applies to everything we have heard so far . I have now again looked at the episode "The Red Barn " from Season 5th Here it comes , that is found on a farm from the 80s Visualize the RJ Smiley . Jane finds out that the symbol was placed in the 80s by a young Visualize workers there . Known, Haffner belongs to Stiles ...

Haffner
is addressed in the wake of Lisbon , and he says that he was already in
Visualize but makes the question whether he has worked on the farm. As a result Haffner Lisbon also offers a new job at a private security agency , which he wants to start using Visualize . I assume that Red John Haffner , and the financial resources of Stiles gets provided. Stiles has known, so a wire to Red John .

Furthermore, Red John must indeed have good contacts in the CBI . As a relatively early the lady has been poisoned in the course of the CBI , you smiled before. I hardly think that all volunteers of Red John know each other and was killed by "real" . Haffner can circulate freely there , yes.

We
also know that Haffner has a weakness for Lisbon , which would also
explain that Lisbon has been spared the discovery of the dead Patridge
of Red John .

My guess therefore :
Haffner RJ with Support of style. In the next episode everything is well informed :

________________________________

However, I would hope that none of the suspects is Red John and Jane has noticed over the list that he has the wrong . This calls together and with the explosion , which you can see in the promo preview , death feigning . However, Bruno Heller would have lied for the interviews , which I unfortunately did not go out.

My favorite would be this , in descending order :
Walter Mashburn ( the rich Lover of Lisbon from previous season )
Michael Kirkland ( the -lost brother of Bob )
Jane's brother

Come on guys. I can't believe that the REAL Red John is actually one of these 5 fools.

Bertram, Smith, & McAllister having a huddle in the office discussing what Jane knows?  RJ doesn't HAVE huddles, he makes his own decisions, cause he's the smartest guy in the room. RJ doesn't need information, and if he did, he sure hope wouldn't send some bullshit PI to plant an obvious bug in the CBI. and Smith with that "tiger tiger" bullshit to the guard in the van???  Please, that was ridiculous.

Haffner?  Come on, the guy was practically comical in last weeks episode.  Doesn't seem to fit the RJ personality.

Kirkland got shot, and we all saw it, so HE'S DEAD.  The twin brother theory is good, but stupid cause it has to be someone that was there since the BEGINNING.

Partridge is the only one that fits the RJ persona. Calm, but you can tell he's got a little bit of crazy in there, and i know, i know, HES DEAD, but did we really even see him die or get dismembered??

...and Stiles????  for God's sake the guy is like 400 years old and runs a cult.


Idk who the hell Red John really is, but he BETTER NOT BE any of these 5 remaining people, cause that would really fucking suck.

Thanks.  Love the show by the way.

Haffner is Red 7ohn... And he continues the legacy from Brett Styles which was earlier Red 7ohn... He even 7oined Visualize... Bret styles said to Patrick: I know who he is.. Ill go away for a bit. Haffner is R7 legacy.

Like the mask of zorro movie ;p

The list troubles me. Red John troubles me. I'm not sure I understand why they have the list and why they are having the characters that could play Red John really well and leave us like "wow that's a good red john", DIE.  Which one is the most important,  the fact we couldn't guess who RJ was or the fact that we love the Red John that they create? I mean right now we still don't know for certain who he is. I mean none of us, we all have equally valid choices. So leaving Partridge in wasn't going to change anything with us. I would have been equally satisfied and would have guessed that he wasn't red John. I hope the actor they have chosen,  can transform into Red John at the drop of a hat and is really good at playing him because any thing short of a good performance is going to sink the show for me anyway.  Stiles is the only one that could do a show stopping performance? The rest I'm not sure? I could be wrong, they might be brilliant but they really need to be.

Also the descriptions, he has to match the descriptions otherwise what was the point of following the clues for the show at all? They would mean nothing at all. 

This brings me back to the whole lot of them being Red John. Its more likely to explain everything that has happened without using up too much air time. The group thing explains everything without having to explain anything and it also means that P.J will be hunting down the escapees from the explosion for the remainder of the season explains why the season doesn't finish with the killing of Red John.

Look at this frame from the extended promo of next episode

It's kind of obvious its Partridge. Even Jane knows its Partridge 35 minutes into episode 1. I mean, over 10 clues over the first 2 episodes. I really think Bruno Heller should have restrained himself. The woman feeding pigeons, especially, he went totally overboard. Am I supposed to pretend the first 2 episodes didn't happen or should I believe that Bruno Heller has created a "Red Partridge" which is 10 red herrings in one.
