LATEST THEORIES

COLOR SYMBOLISM:  RED, GREEN & BLUE:
WE KNOW JANE is BLUE:  blue car, blue teacup and often blue suits.  BLUE=is the color of mental clarity and wisdom, as well as communication.  But Blue gone wrong has the double meaning of deep sadness, of "being blue," which also perfectly describes Jane.    

IN SEASON ONE:  when Jane wins poker spoils, he buys Lisbon a GREEN EMERALD necklace and a RED RUBY necklace for GRACE because... 

LISBON is GREEN:  solid, down to earth and genuine -- GREEN is used to heal heart energy.  But Green gone wrong is envy and jealously [we saw a little of that from Lisbon when Lorelei was around or when Jane knows something and doesn't tell her, even if it's for her own good].]  

GRACE is RED: there's her hair but also because she is a positive expression of the color red [so far!].  She's warm, bright, strong, passionate, having love affair with Rigsby and one of the sexier characters [though they all rate pretty high! LOL] 


I have no idea though what colors Rigsby and Cho are meant to be, if any, but if I had to guess I'd think Rigsby is RED and Cho is GREEN

RED JOHN is RED gone wrong:  which includes anger, and darker themes of sex, violence and death.  


SEASON ONE PILOT:  husband/wife Morgan [means RED] Tolliver kills daughter Mercy after raping her  -- and so his wife
 Juniper [GREEN] kills him -- So, GREEN kills RED.  Interestingly, it is said that GREEN calms RED down/or balances -- or in this case STOPS it. 


SO, first five years focused on the pursuit of RED:  RED JOHN and the personal relationship of GRACE & RIGSBY were the two biggest storylines -- And NOW, RJ will be revealed and "Grisgsby" are married.

We know new episodes are called "My BLUE Heaven" and "My GREEN Thumb" are next, likely focusing more on JANE & LISBON's relationship.

First of all excuse my bad English..
My opinion is was that Ray is Red John, but after watch this episode i think that RJ maybe is Partridge, i don't now maybe he fake his death it's why he hire a private investigator to bug the CBI, if Ray was RJ so he could bug the CBI easily, he have access to the office even if the team is not there,so why not Partridge is RJ and he fake his death and he is waiting for Jane to finish with all the remaining suspects...

i think that the creator know that most of the people think that Ray is RJ so what he is doing is that he focused on his phobia (Spider) and in the last episode when the visualize guy says that Ray left and he has something to do or whatever in the same time when RJ kill the girl, and pleeeeeeease what do you think when RJ draw the smiley face on Lisbon face? the response is to make Jane confused ( i can't find the word)  and not check Partridge body, this allow to RJ accomplices to came and take his body (RJ=Partridge)

So Bruno heller is trying to make peaple forget Partridge and when the time come BOOOOOOOOOM, holy shiiiiiiiiiiiite, Red John is Partridge

I just read theory #8587, and here's my prediction for episode 6.

Why is Patrick gathering the suspects? It's a trick! The one he really wants is Bret Stiles!

RJ made 2 FBI cold cases come up so Stiles could flee and disappear without suspicion. This way Partridge keeps his father safe. Ever since episode 1, apparently, Patrick has pretended to not know RJ's identity, when he clearly knows its Partridge by the end of 1. In episode 5, Patrick finally has his leverage. When Oscar Cordeiro, RJ's man, sees Patrick leaning in to hear the clue that RJ purposely revealed, he will report back to Partridge and confirm that Jane doesn't know his identity. So, Partridge will know Jane is going to gather the suspects to start checking for the tattoo. Because Stiles obviously doesn't have the tattoo, Partridge will let his father go because Partridge doesn't know that Jane is luring him into a trap.

The explosion is a diversion for PJ to kidnap Stiles, the one man most important to RJ, Then PJ will ransom his safety for Redjohn himself.

Season 6 episode 1 had great.
We all were so busy looking at the red john smiley, the phone call, the writings on the wall etc etc... and just accepted the fact that partridge is dead.
The magic happened behind the curtains.
All these "666", cbi ron, left hand-right hand etc were just diversions, not important at all.

Theory #7706 • By Shazzzaa
Show this theory

I think Red John could be a woman because:

John Doe = unidentified man
Jane Doe = unidentified woman

(Patrick) Jane = man
so...
(Red) John = could be a woman

I don't think that these character names were just randomly chosen.
