LATEST THEORIES

ok so if there is two dead and three left then the three on the board are probably the ones that are left? Does that make sense. That rules out my choice Bertram. Why are the three on the board. Anyway its going to get interesting when we find out whose dead. People's choices are going to change very quickly. I wouldn't have much of a clue if my choices are wiped out. AS it is these are my choices.....

Bertram
Haffner
Sheriff

Bertram is super creepy. Why did he whistle after talking to Jane and Lisbon? It's a weird time to whistle before a phone call.

Haffner...really doesn't seem like Red John at all not in the slightest which is why he might turn out to be him AND the fact that he is close to Stiles and stiles is very much associated in some way with RJ. His past mentor I am guessing and that is why he adopted his style from visualize. I actually would really like Red John to be Haffner. I would be thrilled. But it's based on very shallow reasons.

Sheriff- hmmmm not sure I would believe this. he is not really a powerful figure. He doesn't look like he has any influence over anyone or could have influence. The first time we seen him he was scary but not a stalker kinda way not like Red John not charismatic or influential enough to be RJ.



Just to mention some things about the others...

Reede after watching the last episode I think that he could pull it off but I still wouldn't want him to be Red John. I would be disappointed. But he was cocky in Jane's house and remember Red John would not want to kill Jane so the whole gun thing could have been put on.

Stiles- if he was younger then I would believe it was him but it's not. Someone who was close to him and adopted his stile. His ego and personality are very much like Red John. I'm guessing that note was from Red John so it's not him.

Partridge- not sure what people are seeing here. His Entrance was great really brilliant. The imaginary and ambiance with him around was great but he is not Red John. He doesn't have any of the characteristics. He was weak and I didn't see him wanting to be friends with Jane, jane insulted him yes but I didn't see him looking up to Jane, more like he was looking up to RJ and his serial killings, anyway it's not him. I'm pretty sure on that. There are clues and it's possible but there are clues to all suspects to be honest that are much stronger.

Kirkland twin: ya the twin thing was really odd? I felt it in the show a few times but maybe its a really elaborate red herring. There are loads of them. I don't think any twin is coming out of the woodwork . It's a cop out.. The whole tie thing might be a mistake. I have seen a few mistakes on the show for example...the red snapper episode where cho is trying to remove the air vent he gets the screwdriver from that man and gives it back...the next scene you see the screw driver back his hand again. Maybe the tie is deliberate to throw us off maybe its not I don't know I haven't looked at the scene again.

Marshburn: heavens no. RJ is on the list.
Ellis Mars: What on earth was that episode about. Hideous and not Red John. Maybe planted byRed John to bring notice to TT but awful choice.

I love how it's already Sunday in Australia but I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to watch :( 
Anyways, does anyone know if there's going to be a season 7 after this season?
I'm going to be so sad when The Mentalist ends. Although as predictable as it is, when they end, hope they end it with Jane and Lisbon getting together or something, like a peaceful ending with no cliffhangers (like Jane actually didn't kill Red John LOL and he's still out there or something)!  

Just more than 24 hours to go for episode 7 finally! Been waiting for this episode for 2 weeks, bring it on! Hopefully everything will start to be thoroughly explained. 

I really want to know what happened to Kristina Frye, how Red John seems to be able to read Jane's mind (e.g his happy memory of Eileen), the 'He is mar' clue, etc etc etc. Hopefully everything is explained so all the loose ends will be tied up with finally the reveal of Red John himself. Hopefully he has that creepy soft voice on when Jane supposedly kills him in the park. 

Oh yeah and the pigeons in the house Brett Patridge was killed was that suppose to kill Lisbon's happy memory? Her office or her must be bugged if so. Just my opinion.

In the first episode of the season, it appear that RJ was holding the box cutter (or whatever it was) in his left hand.  Smith and McAllister shot right handed, and Bertram appears right handed (holding cell phone).  Hard to tell about Stiles because he waves with his left but at other times appears right handed.  I have seen no clue regarding Haffner whether Haffner is right handed or left. I know it is a bit strange to offer a theory on a lack of eveidence, but  I think Haffner or perhaps Stiles.

ok just something to note. Ray never asked Lisbon where he was meeting Jane. She just said tomorrow night...was that just me, did I miss it as far as I can tell he didn't ask.

out of the 7 i hope its mcallister there is something about him that i find intriguing but i don't think it will be any of them, i think bruno heller lied to keep us guessing then bam no body saw it coming i hope it actual ends up being someone like kristina fry and her mental state is just an act

last scene of the series, RJ is revealed to threaten Bruno Heller's life thus forcing him to give away a false red john.

This is probably unlikely, but I'll go for it.

I'm not sure who red john is but I'm predicting that perhaps as the list of the RJ suspects starts to decrease until there say, 2 suspects left, RJ will strike again but this time the victim doesn't die, or doesn't die immediately so they can give all the information PJ needs put together, and RJ will not be one of the 2 people, but someone who we'd never suspect, but has always been on our good side, which will have us shocked and talking for days.
