About the numbers 666 being "of the devil" and matching "red john", "patrick", "jane" but not "patrick jane" etc...; the word pigeon makes 666 too!

Alright, I really think we should clear this up since a lot of people are using this to justify their Haffner theories... The 'he is mar' is NOT meant to be Heisman, as in the Heisman football trophy. If it is by some random chance, it has nothing to do with Haffner because he does NOT have a Heisman trophy. This is what the Heisman trophy actually looks like: https://www.google.ca/search?q=heisman+trophy&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=62OGUvJ...

Additionally, it really is a stretch to say that 3 spaced out words/fragments are supposed to comprise the word Heisman, when the last letter we see is actually an 'r.' Also because in one's last dying breath, they most likely wouldn't write Heisman as an identifier of their murderer. 

I was actually one of the first to suggest Heisman in my theory in the 2nd episode of this season (though before I posted my theory I did some research on past theories and Heisman didn't come up at all expect for once in 2009 and people seemed to shoot it down). So, I definitely took back what I said as I had the chance to compare the ACTUAL Heisman trophy to what people see in Haffner's office. Two completely different trophies guys!

Had to clear that up, it was really bugging me!

Anyway, I can't WAIT for Sunday!

I'm here to say it's quite obvious RJ is Brett Partridge and the show will be plain shite if it's not him.

I mean, it's OBVIOUS, see? The guy got killed, sank in blood and was taken out from the house in a plastic bag, it's obvious he's alive and obviously he's red john.

Jane doesn't think it's him but that's because he's so obviously more intelligent than Jane.

Jack Plotnick said his role as Brett was finished, that's an obvious proof he's RJ. It's soooooooo obvious that Partridge had a grandma who knew jane's father and her cousin died because of a rotten tomato so he became obsessed with Red color.

And there's a partdrige pidgeon, c'mon guys, what could be more obvious about RJ identity than the existance of a Partridge Pidgeon?


As you see, every single logical contradiction can be overcome by stating the opposite conclussion is "obvious". And that's just stupid, plain, linear teenager thinking.

Seriously, I don't have anything about Partdrige being red John, i just think it wouldn't be original, and it would be a classical outcome already done WITH PANZER. However, while i don't have anything against the character himself, I just wish it isn't him because i wanna see all you salughterers of Logic bite the dust.

I rewatched the episode with Kirkland killing the man in the hospital, but I saw one detail that caught my attention each time. When he talked to Jane in the hospital he had a different tie than when he killed the patient. Or he has many ties in this one episode or we just have witnessed his twin.

Is it just me? I am completely obsessed with who Red John is! Every evening I am surfing this site and looking out for news on the mentalist in the internet.

I need to find a new Hobby once Red John is revealed. Can't wait for the big reveal.

I have an "out there" theory, but at the same time, it oddly makes a little bit of sense.

Grandma raises three children, Kristina, "John" and another girl that is dying.  She takes the dying girl to the carnival to see the "boy wonder," who gives them false hope.  Out of revenge, Kristina and "John" plot their revenge.  "John" visits the carnival, meets Jane and also develops his "mentalist" abilities.  Kristina professes to be a psychic, while "John" becomes Red John.
