This guy ( McAllister / Xander Berkley ) would be a convincing Red John... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBvZ9JzQUiw ... In fact ... I think maybe the case is solved ....

So I'm curious about something. Most of the theories I've read on Bertram ignore Rosalind Harker's physical profile of RJ, either unintentionally or intentionally. May I ask why? Her account of Roy Tagleofera was the very first piece of evidence about RJ. Jane was absolutely sure Roy was RJ. He even brought Rosalind to the morgue in season 4 to make sure the man he shot in the cafe wasn't RJ. Even Dumar, the sheriff who wound up being the killer in "Red John's Footsteps" confirmed that Roy was really RJ. So again I ask, why are so many people ignoring the physical profile?
Okay, think about this. In season 1 finale, Rosalind gives us the physical profile for RJ. 2 episodes later, we meet Bertram for the first time. He's six ft 3 and bald. If Bertram is RJ, that would imply Bruno Heller decided 2 episodes after giving us our first evidence of RJ, he would introduce the "real" Red John who doesn't fit the evidence... Really? Is that not an incredibly convoluted idea?
Anywho, I would like some people's thoughts about Bertram. Comment below if you have a theory that might explain away Rosalind Harker's description.
How did RJ know PJ's list so far in advance of he even knowing it himself?? Remember the discwas made while Loreli was alive and that is a signifigant time difference. So is RJ a true psychic or PJ as a split personality?
I have argued for Ray Haffner as Red John,
but,
If we are judging the last seven suspects by the actors playing them, then Xander Berkley ( portraying McAllister ) comes out way on top...Anyone who has seen him in other roles ( like Percy in the show Nikita, or " The Man " in the series " The Booth at The End" ) knows he has the intelligence and subtlety to play a character like Red John...The small town hick Sheriff he plays in The Mentalist almost seems like a waste of talent...but he has played other characters, convincingly, that would be more than a match for Patrick Jane ....
As a director he would be your perfect choice to play Red John....A guy that can play the simple small town fellow....but change gears to emote menace and a top level intellect...
Teresa's dream [a nightmare] showed HAFFNER, SMITH & BERTRAM as killers, doing RJ's work, with HAFFNER going for Teresa. Now WHY is she dreaming about THEM as opposed to Stiles, Kirkland or McAllister? Doesn't this seem too on the nose then to be accusing Haffner?
Also, RJ says Te-REE-ZAH pronouncing the S as a Z. Americans pronounce the name Teresa with a very definite S but the Z sound is used in other languages, such as German, Italian and Portuguese
Why does everyone assume that the show will have nothing to do once they get RJ? I have read this multiple times.
The show has been on the air 6 seasons and only a handful have been completely RJ-centric. In fact my wife and I enjoy the ones where they are just solving a new weekly crime and Jane is messing with people's head. They are funny. Some of the best shows...NCIS, CSI, etc are weekly shows with new crimes. I know Jane's purposes was to help while finding RJ but now he has a work family that hopefully keeps going. JMO
Pretty sure Bret Stiles was whistling the end part of the verse from "Oh My Darling, Clementine"
The song is about a bereaved lover singing about his darling, the daughter of a "49er" (a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush) -- but also another interesting FOOTBALL theme
The singer loses Clementine in a drowning accident [I have thought there's a WATER theme going on and/or I've wondered about RJ and a FEAR of water] -- and the singer himself tells that he could not save her because he could not swim
THE LYRICS ARE:
In a cavern, in a canyon/Excavating for a mine/Dwelt a miner forty niner/And his darling Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling/Oh my darling, Clementine!/Thou art lost and gone forever/Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water/Ev'ry morning just at nine/Hit her foot against a splinter/Fell into the foaming brine.
Ruby lips above the water/Blowing bubbles, soft and fine/But, alas, I was no swimmer/So I lost my Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
