THE THEORIES

Before we watch the 7th episode, I'm sure someone will have pieced the identity together using photos/actors names/interviews released from the buildup and it'll be posted all over here. I think its time to start looking back and forward to look for hints for Jane's Plan. This is the one- Patrick will be reeling in Redjohn! Now this is going to be one hell of a plan, spanning over a number of episodes I hope, and one reveal I will NOT be disappointed by!

OR that episode is going to need a lot of action!!!

I predict our dedicated fans will receive BOTH!

There are 3 different shots which are very focal on swans in Season 6 episode 3.

1: Just before McCallister's appearance -
2: Before the mother of the bride confesses to Jane
3: During her confession

1st Shot = 7 swans
2nd Shot = 7 swans
3rd Shot = 6 swans

This symbolises the death of Brett Partridge. I'm NOT saying Brett Partridge isn't RJ. If he was, his alias, Brett Partridge, is killed by Redjohn, in a precise tactical move. Therefore it still makes sense that Partridge could be Redjohn.

In Season 6 episode 1, a single pigeon escapes. In episode 2, we see a pack of pigeons. Could this symbolise Redjohn is out of the line of suspicion, safe and anonymous once more. In episode 3, the lone pigeon strikes, on McCallister. This is all symbolism of course, as the theme of 7 suspects runs. I don't think the majority of viewers will appreciate the lone pigeon escaping from the 7 pigeons in episode 1. It's subtle and cryptic, as in, it was not a clue on it's OWN. It ties in with the other symbols I just picked up on, from the following episodes.

This matches the description Bruno Heller gave of the clue in the final sequence. There is a clue buried in that final sequence that will pay off big time in the finale of the Red John story. A very big clue. No one will get it from the clue as it is laid out in the episode, but it will pay off later.


If Sherriff Thomas McCallister is murdered by Redjohn, Brett Partridge is Redjohn.

I'm sick of people ridiculing other fans, who think Brett Partridge is still alive. It's not impossible so there's no need to leave nasty comments about it every time someone mentions this. 
I'm sorry but a lot of you have much crazier ideas than him being alive. 
We are all fans and we should accept each other's theories. We are supposed to have fun while we are guessing.

The killer was always Jane
I know but understand
What if he really killed his wife n daughter.
He's in a mental hospital
It is the mentalist
All the characters of the episodes are people within the hospital
He gets things confused with the happenings in his mind or maybe people he once knew
Rj is nothing more than a character in a storybook he once read
This is called the mentalist
Bertram did say once I am many things to many people
Perhaps he is the doctor?
It is Halloween soon what if the ending is a trick?

episode 6x2 - 'woman' feeding pigeons, quick shot, we see that jane notices this. 
episode 6x3 - jane feeding ducks, comments about how they love it. surely no coincidence.

Well, it;s obviously that each of the first 7 episodes aims to turn our attention towards one of the 7 suspects. The 1st - Brett Partridge, 2nd - Haffner, 3rd- Tom Mcalistair, 4th - Kirkland (see the next promo), etc. , so that in the 8th we'll find out who RJ is (I hope).
Now, it will be very interesting if Partridge will be the only dead-one of the 7 suspects, at the end of episode 7. Because that means Bruno Heller wanted from the beginning of season 6 to exclude Brett from our theories (he knows that most people suspect  him). Heller just wants that we forget about Partridge (he's dead, he's out of the list) - and so it is I see.. :)) Now, most of the last theories are about Haffner, Tom, next week will be about Kirkland, and then Stiles or Reede, bla bla.
Heller truly wants to mislead us, all the time, that's my opinion. He said in an interview that we'll be disappointed when we'll find out who is RJ. Well, actually , people wouldn't be disappointed if Brett Partridge is Red John, but the contrary.  I believe he only wants to make us thinking to a suspect which can really disappoint us (maybe Reede, or Tom or even Patrick). He is playing with us, and he tells us in his interviews only what he wants us to believe.
I still think Brett is Red John and I agree with the theories of the Revelation, 666 number and the dragon with the seven heads ... u've read about...
