Hey guys, since season 3 : strawberies and cream I have suspected Bertram and with tonights episode I can say that I am very very very sure that Red John is Bertram. When Jane went to see him in his office and tell him to meet him on Thursday... afterwards when Jane left the office you could hear Bertram picking up his phone and making a phone call. When he does so you can hear that his voice is VERY VERY similar to Red John's voice. Not only that but when Jane has them all sitting in the same room and he says one of them is Red John you can see Bertram saying this is ridiculous. You can tell by his look he is slightly worried. Now I am pretty sure that Red John is not Sherif Mcalister, it really seems that he genuinely wants to help Patrick Jane. 

Now that was my opinion. But I will go on and play the devils advocate. I'm thinking that the three dots were in fact not an indication of Red John . We know for a fact that those three are part of the Tyger Tyger organisation. We know that the three dots means that precisely. Now maybe the killer who killed the private investigator was NOT red john and was one of these three. Maybe Patrick Jane got it wrong... maybe the person who had hired her was just part of the tyger tyger organisation (one of these three) and is unaffiliated with Red John. Maybe Red John is in fact Haffner or Stiles. Who knows.

Honestly though I really feel like Sherif Mcalister is trying GENUINELY help patrick so I will rule him out completely. Given this episode Bertram is my first choice but Haffner is second.

Red John is:
1- Gale Bertram
2-Ray Haffner
3-Bret Stiles
4-Reed SMith
5-Sherif Mcalister

Let me know what you guys think

SPOILERS FOR FIRE & BRIMSTONE:
For those of us not hoping, wanting and screaming for Janes list to be fake or a resurrected corpse being Red John, how did you find this episode?

I absolutely loved it, now that we are down to three suspects:
Bertram
Smith
McAllister

Im personally happy that Haffner was not Red John as the thought that Red John spared Lisbon cause of a school boy crush on her is pretty repulsive to me.
If it had been Haffner though, i was hoping there was another reason why she was spared.
Alas i need not fret as he isn't part of the clique, im happy to see that my pick from the start is still in it though.

Unlike most people on this site, i dont demand Red John to be who i want it to be.
As long as it makes sense in the end ill accept it.
If your someone who still believes the list is fake or red john is not one of the three men please dont bother replying as im sure your still going through your seven stages of grief.
