LATEST THEORIES

Something is up with van Pelt, watch the reaction at the latest episode when Rigsby says he loves her. 

She answers with: "I know" even though she's just married.

Either she's an accomplice? I doubt she could actually be RJ, that would mean that all clues are fake / pointing to someone below her.

Anyhow, she's hiding something!

So, the latest episode was a bit disappointing. They spent 90% of  it throwing out obvious clues about the different suspects, trying to make all of them suspects. 

Not surprisingly more than one had the tattoo and now it seems like they're narrowing down the list even further.

Is there still any doubt that the people left on the list are not RJ? It is too obvious and there's no surprise element left. The only one of the list which would be a "twist" is Zombie-Partridge (god forbid).

I hope the writers have a bigger plan with this but time is running out. The only twist with the "standard" characters except Partrdige would be someone within the CBI-team but no clues point in that direction.

Some thoughts:

* It's actually RJ who lured PJ into a trap, making him gather the TT people because he wants to get rid of them. When you think about it, how convienient that the girl survived and was able to tell about the tattoo. PJ is doing the dirty work for RJ and then he blows the place up. In the end it will be revealed that PJ knew this all long - doing a long con at RJ.

* Which one of the series are a known bomb-expert? 

* Who has given inside information about the RJ-case at CBI? Maybe a mistress to RJ (Lisbon). 

The writers are a BIG fail if RJ is someone on list, way too much time have been spent showing off silly clues for it to be real. It's so shallow.

Mashburn, where are you? Still waiting for you to take the big stage.

Who did Bertram call? RJ? Somehow i think that maybe RJ is none of the suspects there...i am thinking about RJ as someone  i would never expect...it is clear that someone of them killed the woman who bugged the office....

All this that happened is Janes game again...leaving Lisbon, gathering those 5 suspects and even telling Cho, Rigsby and Grace whats going on...Jane probably had known some time that RJ has disciples because some of RJ copycat murders were different from the murders from the real RJ (Partridge, the woman from the last episode etc.) So he probably expected something like the Tygers....Guys for me its Rigsby or Cho or maybe the person Bertram called....hmm...Minelly? Why would Cho or Rigsby bug his own office? Just to lead Jane to the woman wich bugged it and discover the dots...While the fake RJ( someone of the suspects) was killing the woman. the real RJ was enjoying the show. I just cant put up the whole story because a lot of things dont make sense to me right now....but it will be clear at the end...i hope,

Theory #8756 • By Red John.

After watching the sixth I think that Red John is actually Patrick Jane !



 It also seems that there is organizition of the three men with tattoos , it seems that the password they are Taigr Taigr and this explains all the episodes in which he was Red John, who we thought we said Red John will meet with Patrick or speak to him by telephone or do some crimes if we thought that Red John is Patrick Jane is the one who heads the organization in secret but probably the crimes followers who do not know him personally or they have been brainwashed through hypnosis ,

Looks saw Patrick crazy this episode? ?And glances suspected him ?
They are in a secret organization Yes!But Red john not one of them !
The fear seems to them!

and after season 3 e24 this is what happened:

But to be a Red John real and who had killed the family of Patrick is Timothy Carter, he seemed confident of himself and is not afraid and after killing  by Jane,

Jane is sick, probably he is the continued belief that the Red John is still alive and that he is not the one who died and looked series madness , suspicion and making followers ! ! ! ! ! !

 there will be  a way to justify the fact that Patrick Jane is Reid John , and wait for it !

What a pointless episode.  The whole 45 minutes is wasted with
setting up a meeting.  Another huge waste of time was repeating the
opening sequence twice.  We get to the scene shown on the preview only in the last 3 minutes. This was nothing but a filler episode and the way they presented was nothing but insulting to the audience. 

PJ is supposed to come face
to face with RJ in the next episode but, judging from this, I won't be surprised if it occurs
in the closing scene again, only to find out that RJ is wearing a mask on yet another episode.  I am sure that will be the end of the show
for many.
