LATEST THEORIES

Contains Spoilers!

We know the next episode is "The Great Red Dragon".  Much has been made of the references to Revelation and perhaps this indicating that someone will have a "fatal wound that heals."  Up to this point, there has been a lot made of Partridge or Kirkland.  But I think in light of the promo for this episode, those who are speculating Jane releasing false info to the press is correct, that he will say someone has died who hasn't really died.  Thus the "fatal wound" will be "healed."

That may come into play with Rigsby's board and statement to the other officer, as well.  Remember Jane tells him to trust no one, especially those in law enforcement.

NOW we're supposed to believe that JANE is playing it 100% straight?  After FIVE YEARS of watching him pull stunts?

IF RJ was one of the FIVE -- would he SO willingly go to Jane's house without really knowing WHY?  AND FYI:

MALIBU [where Jane's house is] -- is KIND of FAR from SACRAMENTO and NAPA -- like  7 to 10 hours AWAY.  The CBI team and related people seem to move around California like it was the size of Delaware.  ANNOYING!

ALSO -- TINSLEY DID NOT TELL JANE THAT "RED JOHN" HAS THE TATTOO -- only that HER KILLER has the tattoo.  HER KILLER isn't necessarily RJ.  I thought she was hired by someone from Visualize?

HELLO?!  NONE OF THESE THINGS MAKE ANY SENSE --- this is SHITE

AND, for those who think HAFFNER whistling "Blue Fly Tail" is proof that he's RJ ---- it's song about a slave not caring that his master is dying -- and Stiles is Haffner's master/leader who claims to be dying [or just fleeing from the FBI].  Symbolic, but I don't see how that makes Haffner RJ.

THIS COINTAINS SPOILERS
I was watching episode 1 from season six again, and I noticed that the part where Patrick and Partridge were looking  each other in the eyes was damn intense. I don't remember Patrick doing the same with the other suspects. Was it a test? Does it mean that Patrick excluded him from the list or that he got something new?
Does this put Brett Partridge at the top or at the bottom of the list?
Lisbon didn't ask Patrick what he thinks of Partridge, that is weird, because they showed us them having a conversation about Bertram. That was the last time Partridge and Jane met.
We know that in episode 8 Red John and Patrick will do a similar thing, but probably for longer. 
Do you guys think there is a connection between the two "staring into eachother's eyes" episodes?

Ok this is not really a theory but just something that kind of grabbed my attention and also i have not seen any posts of this, in season 6 episode 1 when Lisbon enter the house we see the 666 written on the wall, as we all know episode 7's title is "The great red Dragon" Ref made to the book of revelations. Now what if the 3 dotted tattoo was the mark of the beast?

some clues that Heller included dont really help us much like for example Red john is a good whisler, he has a phobia that not really much to go by.

I'm not going to accuse anyone, just wanted to report this.
I think the key scene is in episode 02 from season 6. That person feeding pigeons..looks suspicious indeed. Patrick looks at him/her for a while, and he stops Lisbon from leaving him, just like he planned something. They start to talk about RJ and that one thing RJ didn't know. But at the end of their conversation, at 1:26 of the video, Patrick clearly looks again at that person. It lasts less than a second, but you can see it. Now, who is that person? It looks creepy, but he/she has a ring (If I remember correctly, RJ has a ring) and a watch, which looks suspiciously similar to Partridge's (you can see it in episode 01 from season 6).
If Partridge is dead, why would RJ send that person with Partridge's watch? 
I have no idea what this scene means, but I think it will make sense after episode 8.

From everything I heard from the upcoming episodes,I believe whoever Jane is going to say to the press is Red John probably is not...I think he will mislead Lisbon and everyone else on this one and do this himself.

Do you guys think this show can survive after Red John is caught? Because I don't think the fans are crazy about this ridiculous tyger tyger organisation storyline..

If they don't introduce a new exciting serial killer, I don't think the show can carry on with the everyday murder cases..Those are not fascinating enough..There needs to be something else in the background, but not the tyger tyger crap..:)

I'm scared the show will be cancelled after this season..:(
