LATEST THEORIES

I pretty much like the Christopher Nolan´s movie Inception, with L. DiCaprio (Patrick Jane), Ken Watanabe (Kimball Cho), Ellen Page (Teresa Lisbon), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Wayne Rigsby) and Marion Cotillard (Grace Van Pelt).
After reading the last 300 theories, I just came up with an Inception theory. There is no such thing as psychic, so Patrick Jane says. So, how is it possible all those mind readings? What if it is just a dream? A 5th grade stage where Patrick Jane is actually still locked up in a room at the mental institute, while Dr. Sophie Miller is still trying to crack up Jane´s mind.
48 hours to go and I am going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! muahahahaha... =)

ok I have believed Brett Partridge being Red John would be a thoroughly disappointing end which was both poor and lazy

but then i saw this theory. if and only if Brett Partridge is rj under these circumstances will i be ok with a partridge as rj ending because its one hell of a twist

Look there! It's a spoiler from The Great Red Dragon. I think we can be pretty sure Reede Smith is not Red John, because of this and of serveral other reasons. 

Cheers. 

If I have to pick between Bertram and McAllister I pick Bertram, he had the most charactar development and Jane knew him, they hadn't just met in a one-time-encounter.

Theory #11395 • By McGill
Show this theory

Does anyone else think that the interview with jack plotonick (brett partridge) is just weird? I've looked at the interview and there's smiley after this line!!

Plotnick: “Yep. That’s it for me! Ah well, all good things must come to a (bloody)end. ;-P”

So what? he did that face and interviewer just wrote it down? Could it possibly be made up? Because it's the same interview in few sites and nothing else and it just sounds weird.

Its hugh haffner! The tyger tyger group are copy cats that pretend to be red john, everyone who has the tyree dots is in tyger tyger, they are a group of corrupt cops and people that are paid to cover up things.red john was aware of all this and he hates the group which is why he killed partridge(hes dead), and he wants jane to subconciously help him do it. He does this by showing the girl he killed the tatoo with the three dots(which he new members of tyger tyger all had, so he put on a fake one which could eisily be removed) he would never be so clumsy to leavd her alive if he didnt want her to see the tatoo, also when patrick told every one to show their shoulders to everyone, he was the first to reveal he didnt have and ran his finger horzontaly across his arm where the tatoo should have been. coincidence? I think not, there is no way he could have just known the orientation of the tatoo. Hafner also fits the characteristics for red john, it cant be any of the three with the tatoos since bertram and smith aer both kind of fat and not very agile, and mcalistor isnt afriad of heighgs and he also said straight to janes face that he isnt red john, partridge was the leader of tyger group and prepared the crime scenes to look like red johns work

I think Red John is Reede Smith because it is the only way to make The mentalist more disappointing then Dexter

Hi Everyone,
I can prove that RJ is not one of the 7. The video that Lorelei read RJ's guesses about PJ's list has shooted 2 months ago.

First I have to sorry about my english it is 2nd language of mine and I am a little bit rusty on it.

How RJ knew PJ's list before PJ even not start to study. Is he a psychic? Ofcourse not. There is no such thing psychic. It is repeatedly explained us during serie. So how RJ did this trick. In all mentalist tricks, The Mentalist lead victims to the results. This is obvious.

So RJ lead PJ to the list of 7's. I dont know why, but I have couple of theories. But I know how. Lets just focus the trick and the video. I'll explain how he lead later.

What did RJ said to PJ? 
"I'm going to start killing again, often. Until you catch me, or I catch you"

Why RJ wants PJ catch him. Not with help of RJ, but in the PJ's way. We all know that.
So if RJ wants PJ catch him by his own talents, it is not make any sense that RJ leaded PJ to himself with trick's result. "The list of 7"

And another question just for fun, what is he meaning by "or I catch you"?

Why Heller insists that one of these suspects is indeed Red John. He said:
"There is no sort of double twist. There's no more messing around. ... Only the truth gets revealed from now on in" 

That means Heller and CBS dont have a deal which can continue the show. But it is not means that RJ is on the list if show will continue.
