Don't know if this means much, but we have seen 2 instances where someones fingers were cut off or were going to be cut off.
1) Red John ordered Lorelei Martins to cut off 2 of Jane's fingers.
2) Bob Kirkland cut off one of the fake suspects fingers.
Bruno Heller said that it was very important for Partridge to die in the first episode, but i haven't find out a good explanation of this yet. OK so I will try to explain it.
Killing Partridge (everyone's favorite until season 6) at the first episode before giving away more clues about Red John and not clearly allowing us to see his death ensured that none can be 100% sure about who Red John is. Every theory about Partridge has a big question: "But. what if Partridge is really dead?" and every theory about every other suspect has another big question: "What if Partridge is not really dead?".
By doing this Bruno really ensured that none will be 100% sure about Red John before his actual reveal and he really succeeded. With the blurry death of Brett Partridge everyone asks himself either one of the 2 questions above after completing his thought about a suspect, none is sure.
That's why I tend to believe that Partridge is really dead and the reason above is why Bruno didn't really clearly show us that he is dead, but that's my opinion.
Ok I have three thoughts.
1) Has anyone thought of the possibility that "he is mar" if finished would say "he is marked"... as in the tattoos? (this is the one that I would like feedback on)
These two are just musings
2) I think that Tolman Bunting would have been a really fun Red John.
3) i think it would have been best if the series would have ended after season three. Timothy Carter was a perfect Red John. He was just creepy enough without being too creepy, he had the right voice, and he fit the description better that most of the current suspects.
What's with the crazy, long theories?
Brett Partridge is Roy Tagliaferro. Brett Partridge is Red John. Do we really need to make theories with our own plotholes to steer it to being someone else?
If someone wants to say "Brett Partridge is dead," that's cool. But he's still Red John. Red John isn't dead, he's just killed his another alias. So I don't get how Brett Partridge *isn't* Red John. If you could please tell me 1 good reason that completely wipes out Partridge, I'll be happy to believe you.
Not a theory, I just wanted to make this clear. I'm not accusing him, just pointing out one thing.
This is for everybody who thinks Brett Partridge doesn't have a good posture. According to Rosalind's description.Red John is "not muscular, but not soft either."
Jack Plotnick some years ago... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLsdaCVk3Kk/TAcnBF4_klI/AAAAAAABpbo/QgAShi3Dv7E/s1600/JackPlotnick07.jpg
Well...
Partridge is very dead. The dude has like 6 lines and people say hes a good actor? Stop. Partridge worked for tiger tiger fixing crime scenes to their liking . Its his job to make crime scenes look like red johns work. Thats how bertram knew him and was surprised he was dead. Red john killed him but is using jane to get the rest of tiger tiger. He literally died in front of lisbon.
I presented this theory last year when Rigsby wasn't a suspect. The episode where Jane drank the hallucinogen tea made me think that what we are watching is Jane's alternate reality.
What if: 1. Jane's wife was Laurelei (maybe she was divorcing him)
2. Jane's wife and child die in a drunk driving accident with Wayne Rigsby
3. Jane was also in the accident, which ended in an explosion
4. Jane has had to interact with the medical examiner and investigation
5. Sister Theresa Lisbon is praying for his lost soul (hence the cross that is
always around her neck)
Subtle Clues
* Toy red corvette on table when Jane investigates the death of Laurelei's sister
* Toy red corvette then shows up on Rigsby's desk in another episode
* While Mashburn and Jane are joyriding in the yellow corvette, Jane was asked if
he liked the car. Jane replied that the car was the wrong color
* When Jane sees the body of Laurelei,, he says that she deserved it
* Episode where Rigsby was in car accident and blood was streaming down his
face
* Scotch bottle with red tip shown in another episode
