Forget your personal 'fave' suspects for a minute.
Open your minds.
Bob Kirkland is back. (or brother) - as theorized. That voice........
Promo confirms that everything is playing out the way the way it is supposed to.
Corrigan (possibly the finest 'character' actor in the USA) vs Baker.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
I have a different theory. I think Bertram is too obvious, plus if Bertram is Red John, I don't think he would have made the mistake of trying to kill Jane at the hospital. I don't think the sheriff or Reede Smith fit RJ's profile and as far as Brett Partridge faking his death because he is RJ, Jane has always said he is a "ghoul" but he seems too young, immature, and nervously jumpy around Jane. I think Partridge is/was a RJ groupie, but not Red John.
My theory is that Bob Kirkland's twin brother is Red John. This makes a lot of sense. His twin would fit RJ's profile, his voice seems right, and if he is a twin, he could have been confused with Bob Kirkland when he met Jane.
I think PJ remembered this when his cup broke :

I think he is now sure that it is the twin brother of Bob : Micheal
no way on earth it is Bertram.
GREAT THEORIES BUT WHEN THOSE COMMON SENSE PREVAIL OVER FANTASY!?
Red John Is Not On The List 7
Betram Is High Level In The Blake Society And Knows Red John
Yes They Didnt Show Partridges Face But Please Believe He Is DEAD!
Partridge Was Low Level And Was Killed Liked They Tried To Kill Smith!
And If We All Want To Stick To The Notion That The Killers On The List In Which Hellar Pulled A Trick Then Red John Will Be The Twin Of Bob Kirkland Michael If We Go By Hellar Saying Hes On The List Only Way Possible!!
Also Why Was CBI Ron At The Hospital As Bertram Was Leaving? And Who Was The Figure In The Church Scene?
Did Red John Leave A Clue In This Episode That Lead Patrick To The Church? Will We Hear "Hello Patrick" At The Start Of The Next Episode?
I have been looking through some old clips of The Mentalist.
Take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5-H9QGov4Y (Grey suit and beard)
And this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxqpy8H35os Grey suit and Beard)
And this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMFbgTz50EM (Dark suit and no bears - Bob kills him because he wants to find out who Red John is not Patrick?)
... seems strange how one minute he has a beard and grey suit... next minute he has no beard and dark suit... also look at the different facial expressions and body language...

Seeing a lot of people wondering about the 3 coffees that Kirkland had and wondering if it was a clue and if so what. I'm really surprised so many are confused by this since so many of us here obviously suffer from it. It's Kirklands phobia people! He is extremely OCD. Maybe I see it more clearly than others because I have a son who has Aspergers syndrome and that is a key symptom. His hand movements, his constant positioning of things in certain places like his torture tools. He even says as much when he says, "I like to be thorough."
Each suspect has a phobia of some sort....
Partridge-flies
Haffner-Spiders
McAllister-Birds
Smith-heights
Bertram-how other see him, especially the media
Stiles-I'm not sure about yet, but I'm sure he has one
Kirkland-OCD
The coffee is nothing more than drawing attention to his phobia like they have everyone else in the last few episodes.
