LATEST THEORIES

OK, can we have a group discussion here. Mostly about Partridge and his death and mostly about the last scene of 6-1 and the first scene of 6-2....and the last scene of 6-2

So here is the last scene of 6-1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mYSnFVipYA

Lisbon encounters birds...pigeons it seemed by the way they sounded...this has to connect. We see Partridge fall out of a closet. So he was bound and standing. He says Tyger/Tyger. Lisbon steps away about 5 feet, hears water dripping. She is facing Brett on the floor but then stares at that sink. Not sure if that is the clue but it's mysterious. She is then...I've watched it 50 times...snatched dead from behind. Now, being a rational thinker who likes to see all sides I can see how a Partridge Fan might think that once she turns to the sink, that gives him time to grab her. But I don't see how in that 3 seconds he gets on his feet, makes up 5-8 feet and grabs her. My theory is he is dead and that RJ was either in that closet too or in another part of the room. I can see how this leaves open Partridge for some...the way she was faced but then we get to.....

Episode 2, Scene 1

Guy says they have one male DOA, Partridge. So he is dead right? The reaction of Bertram leads me to believe that not only is Bertram not RJ but that his pause meant Partridge may have been a Tyger/Tyger associate on the fringe. BUT I just don't think you have all of these people show up at the scene and you take away a body and no one realizes he isn't dead. I know that RJ has people within all agencies helping but this would seem to involve way too many agencies and people to make it work. I also can understand how BP Fans would say that it was a ruse by the ME's office and others involved in the whole conspiracy.

I guess it just looks to me like he is dead but I can see how some would link all the other clues as to why he isn't. I would also find it strange that Jane wouldn't look for clues on the body of one of his suspects. In the next Scene in the hospital he tells Lisbon Partridge is dead...almost like he saw for himself.

Then to end show

They are sitting on a bench and Jane is transfixed by the guy feeding pigeons(a creepy person that looks like they are wearing a wig)...they are making the same noises. That has to connect above...not sure how though.

The more I review all of this the more I'm convinced they could spin RJ any way they want. I keep talking about pigeons, the is it acrophodia/agraphobia, the taser, is Partridge alive....overall they have set it up where almost all suspects have something in their drawer for you to dig through. Thomas being a name in the poem. It all seems like red herrings and I don't know where to go.

People keep posting details about the "Red John" and "My Blue Heaven" episodes.  Details include Jane and Red John having a show down in the park, Jane fleeing to South Africa, and Rigsby and Van Pelt having two children.  People are saying they saw it in a TV Guide article, but I can't find information even remotely close to that anywhere, let alone on TV Guide.  

Please comment with a link!!!

Show this theory

I think that Red John has been several people throughout the show and we will be finding out exactly who was the one responsible for Patricks family because not one person holds all the characteristics of red john look at the body build of the guy who poisoned Rebecca and then look at the body build of the red john that saved Patrick they are way different so I'm sure there is a main red john but we will find out that to stay ahead of Jane red john had to be several people and stiles is going to do something to have Patrick or red john kill him. The only thing that makes me wonder about haffners involvement is he told Lisbon that there was a come upens coming did he mean taking over for stiles or red john is killing the competition.
