LATEST THEORIES

Red John = Reede Smith....

The name  "Reede" translates to " Red one " in Old English...So his name is really " Red Smith "....

Also...The RJ alias " Roy Taliaferro " translates to "King Smith "....

Further ..... The name " Smith " itself is from the Old English word "smitan", which means " to strike "....

So Reede Smith = "The Red One Who Strikes" with the alias " The King who strikes "

Read
the poem "Tyger Tyger " by William Blake...It describes a mythical
godlike "Smith " who creates a fearsome, deadly creature in a furnace
that exists either in heaven or hell....He uses a hammer and anvil to
imbue this "dread" creature with terror and death...

Blake isn't
talking about a real tiger of course... which is why he misspells it "
Tyger "...The Tyger symbolizes the evil that exists in this world ...And
Blake asks how the same smith that created the Tyger could create a
person like Jesus of Nazareth (the lamb )

Red John also thinks of himself as a godlike ( Smith-Reede Smith ) who can create an evil entity of great power....and he has created the  Tyger-Tyger Organization

I'm hoping for a real Dallas moment when RJ is revealed. 

And no, I don't mean the return of Zombie-Partridge - the return of Walter Mashburn... if only he could get a vacation from his Dallas shootings.

Ok i have a few points here .
1. The list is fake. The mere fact that bruno heller is telling us what to think and offering spoilers is a major point. Why would a guy give away any info about his creation as its about to end? I believe the list is the key to fishing out rj but it is a ploy. The whole reason and selling point of the season is the list so that viewers know pj will catch rj finally. I truly believe heller is trolling and getting people focused on the list to hype people up no way he would ever reveal the truth , think about how many twist this show has u think he would lessen that by giving us hints?
2 . I think its crazy people say rj is OBVIOUSLY a man. Really? I have always felt rj had a feminine feel to him/her. Anyone else? I mean the voice feminine. The infatuation with patrick bordering homo erotic is obvi feminine. Another clue is the taser. Tasers are blatantly feminine ! What serial killer uses a stun gun? Think outside the box people this show is all about outside the box.
3 . The list is janes check mate. Jane knows the list is fake and by rj figuring out the list is key. Its a trick not magic. Pj knew lisbon would tell van pelt about the list and track the suspects . Pj would never put lisbon in jarms way right ? He knows rj cant kill her cuz van pelt likes her . Looks up to her. Just think about the show and all shows and realize the creators would never spill the beans. Dont believe the spoilers there all misdirection !!

The theories are all cool regardless of who's right, but the weird postings demanding we must believe it is Partridge are just strange. It could be him, but chill out why are you so obsessed with making us admit you are 100% correct that it is Brett.

For me, it's unlikely to be Brett, mostly cause he's dead, but also, the whole: "I'm surprised the two of you didn't become lifelong friends the moment you shook hands." 

Why would anyone say that of Brett?

So she left Lincoln Burrows by faking her death as a lawyer and ended up working at CBI... isn't that suspicious enough?

hello guys :)
i think that brett partridge is a killer himself but not RJ
partridge loves red john and his work 
so i think im my opinon
he was trying to copy red john so all the copy kills of red john was done by brett partridge
thats why the real RJ killed him
