LATEST THEORIES

I like the popular Brett Partridge theory that has gathered many plausible hits. It's well noticed and actually seems very likely to be true. It's that kind of perception why I come to websites like this one. The fishing hat thing and Patrick only mentioning two murders was nicely picked up, kudos.

In case it isn't Partridge, how do you fellas comment on the behaviour of Gale Bertram in the tattoo scene? When you look at him as a character throughout the series, he does seem like a red herring the actor was talking about in the TV Guide article. He has a presence, powerful position, whistles well, and in that scene after PJ and Lisbon exit his office upon inviting him to Patrick's house, not only is Lisbon's face different, but Bertram suddenly uses this soft voice to speak to whomever was on the other side of the line. He looks more worried than the others after the meet and whistles prior to placing the call. Also, he isn't necessarily calling someone he's supposed to keep in the loop - he may be calling a minion who will help get to the bottom of things. He has the tattoo, as well, though I am not sure that signifies.

During the tattoo scene, Bertram is trying the hardest to calm PJ down and make him drop the whole thing, while after his should is revealed his stare is blank and empty and definitely looks creepy. I don't know if anyone noticed, but you can go back to the moment when the camera shows the tattoo on his shoulder. Incidentally, he's also the last one to reveal the tattoo.

Also from before, after Lorelei tells Patrick about the handshake, there's a scene where Jane bumps into Kirkland at the office, they quickly shake hands and go about their business while the camera stays put and shows a picture of Bertram on the office wall, literally moments after the handshake. I've never seen anybody mention this moment before, which I found odd.

Anyway, has it been confirmed that we get a double dose of the show on Sunday or is it just speculation? It would be mighty cool of CBS to give us a two-parter, to close the Red John saga in a marathon.

Everyone has good theories who red john is so I won't bother repeating instead just bring up things that might help at the very beginning in pj interview that got his family killed he said he lives in a singal story blue house with a citrus tree out front and probably lives with his sister or mother maybe he got something right and got some kind of attention from him then I rewatched lastnights episode and it never fails there are a lot of diners in the show but look at the name of the one McAllister goes in its called the blue diner so maybe we should look back at some of the other diner names and right before Jared Renfrew ran off didn't they pull up in front of a diner. Just a thought and he is the sheriff of Napa valley. I think we are made to think Red all the time that we miss the importance of blue it wouldn't be like wheres waldo if we could see it that easy somehow blue means something.

LOL, nice trick on the IMDB with Mashburn as RJ. I like how it also lists Drew Powell (Smith) as "FBI Agent". If it did turn out to be Mashburn that would be pretty sweet since it would catch me completely by surprise but, uh-uh, not buying it.

Not a theory but do you think RJ will be revealed at the end of EP7 or during EP8?

The mentalist FB page just uploaded a picture with "Red John will be revealed" 

I think they find out his identity at the end of ep7 and find him on ep08 with all the added extra stuff they need to clean up before they have to go 2 years ahead.
