LATEST THEORIES

I just noticed something re-watching S1E2 that might be related to McAllister. This is the first episode that we see McAllister. I haven't seen this being brought up by anyone else before, so I thought I'd post it here.

When Jane is talking to the landlord who owns the motel. She told Jane that there are "special discounts for federal and state employees". I don't see why BH would have added this line for no reason. There's a chance that McAllister was paying for the room (or maybe even the other officer who Jane seemed to be eyeing very closely). I know it's wild guess, but McAllister was in all the right places that episode, and I find it hard to believe that it was all a coincidence. I'm not saying this links McAllister to being Red John, but I think it's a strange coincident.

 William Blake, autor de la poesía que todos conocemos, es también autor de una obra de arte llamada "El gran dragón rojo", inspirada en un capitulo de la biblia: Apocalipsis 12:3-4.
 En este mismo capitulo podemos leer: "¡Ay de la tierra y del mar! Porque el diablo ha bajado donde vosotros con gran furor, sabiendo que le queda poco tiempo." (El dragón rojo es la representación de satanas). Al dragon rojo le queda poco tiempo..... como a Bret Stiles.

William Blake, author of poetry we all know, is also the author of a work of art called "The Great Red Dragon" inspired by a chapter of the Bible: Apocalipsis 12:3-4.  In this same chapter we read: "Woe to the land and the sea, because the devil has come down to you in arage, knowing that he has little time." (The red dragon is the representation of Satan).The red dragon has little time.....as Bret Stiles.

At this point i really dont care who RJ is, the only thing i care is that when BH and his team explaine how everything went down it blows our minds, so why this post then,  well because i want to proove a theory of mine.

I will cut my B**lls Off if Rj turns out to be Reed Smith!!! so

Green= You hate Reed Smith as RJ

Red= You would be ok with RJ being Reed Smith

Click away folks!

Heller says that Jane and Lisbon have a sort of falling out over the ending of the RJ case.  We know Jane ends up in South America on the run and Lisbon a sheriff in a small town in Washington.  Has she been demoted? That almost seems like a step down in job duties.  Way down!

Imagine you are Bruno Heller. You created The Mentalist.
You know that people will talk about the show for many years to come after it's finished. 
The whole Red John saga will be written down in the wikipedia, everywhere..

I'm sure you would want to make Red John someone worthy, a cult figure, who won't be easily forgotten.

I'm sorry but Haffner, Smith and Bertram are quite insignificant characters, in 10 years we won't even remember their names.

Now the sheriff and Stiles are a different story.

I can easily see this sentence in the wiki for example: "Red John, who was revealed as Bret Stiles, head of the cult Visualize (portrayed by Malcolm McDowell)..."

Or : "Red John, who was revealed in season 6 as the sheriff of Napa county, Sheriff McAllister, portrayed by Xander Berkeley, blablabla..."

Just think about other shows, we always just remember the important characters. (Like from Lost I can only remember Jack, Sawyer and Locke).
 
Red John supposed to be someone very charismatic and memorable. Stiles is very charismatic, and the sheriff is different, more of a loner, and we will always remember him as 'the sheriff'..The other 3 are all the same, we wouldn't remember them in 10 years..

(Partridge is a good one too, he's already a cult figure, but I'm only looking at the 5 now.)

Lol, I know it's a crazy way to look at things, but at least it's something different..:D
