Please don't SCROLL past! This is a HIT COUNT! If you would be so kind enough to HIT RED or HIT GREEN; I really want to know how many people visit this website in the week's lead-up to capture and killing of Red John!

I do feel bad for taking up a spot where another theory could have been. So in commemmoration of all the weeks we've shared together, here are some highlights of what we've came up with in the final sprint to Red John!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hilarious Youtube Video of Patrick Jane/Simon Baker (NOT ACTUALLY A SPOILER!):

2. My favourite serious theory because its a testament to the ingenious trickster that is Patrick Jane.

3. 2 funny theories.

(a) Ray Haffner owns Justin Bieber

(b) Patrick Jane vs Red John. The Final Chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Something I've never seen before: A funny yet serious theory. "Red John is Gay"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. "Mystical Magic Man from Candy Land"  claims to know what will happen in an "Great Red Dragon," before it airs. We'll see if he's right. People shouldn't get away with lying!

And so the journey comes to a close...


It's been an extremely fun journey and I hope the next one is just as enjoyable. I'll see you guys on the other side (either in an explosion of "I told you so" theories from Partridge fans or "Holy shhh- IT WAS HIM!" theories from Everyone!).  

Please Hit Green or Red! Show that you were here!

Rhetorical question. If Partridge isn't Red John, then why did we get many shots like these?

Partridge vs Jane and the smiley between them

Let's put a smile on that face

And again, in  Red John's rules (this is the best one)
http://bit.ly/18E9QcO

I mean, I can understand some frames, but when Jane and Partridge were discussing we always see Partridge and the smiley. And they both fit the camera perfectly together.

They would make sense and would be cool to notice when watching the all the episodes again after episode 8 "Red John". 

If Partridge isn't Red John, and it's a huge possibility, well, thanks for these nice shots Bruno but I'd rather see them with the actual Red John.

I'm not normally one to get one somebody else's case, but I'm absolutely done with people that keep insulting other people on here. You have the right to not agree with anybody, but you prove you are a mean person by insulting people who believe in unlikely theories.

Partridge could very well be dead, and he could very well be Red John. That doesn't mean that people in the camp you are not in are stupid, blind, or even devotees of Partridge. There is compelling evidence he is Red John and there is sufficient evidence that he is dead as well. We will find out next episode, according to an interview. This means that either we're going to see his dead body, we'll see him alive, or somebody will say that he is, in fact, alive. At this point, I wouldn't blame Partridge fans one bit if he is shown as alive and Partridge fans make fun of everybody who called them names. The fact is, there is enough suspicion around his death that a writer mentioned it of his own accord in an interview.

Besides Partridge, the only other logical possibility is Bertram. If he is Red John and O'Loughlin killed Todd Johnson (who worked for the FBI, by the way, not the CBI where Jane always claimed there was a mole), the ending of Season 3 makes more sense for this one simple reason: how did Timothy Carter know to be at the mall's food court, with a gun, and pretend to be Red John? O'Loughlin had no clue Jane was taking Bertram to the food court. Even Bertram had no clue until Jane drove him there. Jane specifically doesn't tell him where they're going to 'meet Hightower' when Bertram asks, and he is also INCREDIBLY reluctant to go with him. If Bertram is Red John, he may have asked for some sort of protection by one of his minions, especially since he understands that Jane is a loose cannon. If he is Red John, he could have already had protection like that lined up. But if Bertram is not Red John, Timothy Carter's appearance at the mall's food court means that Jane, Cho, or Rigsby leaked, unintentionally or not, their plan to lure Red John out of hiding by going taking Bertram to the mall.

After Bertram, the logical order of Red John goes: McAlister, Smith, Stiles, Haffner, Kirkland. Haffner, Kirkland, and Stiles are 100% not Red John, really. So many people like Haffner, and while I can respect that, he's genuinely outsmarted by Jane in the second episode of Season 4.

I'd probably give odds like this: Partridge 60%, Bertram 25%, McAlister 10%, Kristina Frye 4%, Smith 1%. Frye gets a few votes because I think the unexplained question from season 2 is going to revolve around her, and I always thought it would be neat if she was Red John, because she's the first character Patrick ever connects to in the Mentalist, ever. I also think that it's about a 50/50 shot that this 'returning character who we thought was long gone' is going to be between her and Partridge.

Cliff notes:

Stop being dicks to Partidge people (and Kirkland people, though it's a little more excusable in this case)

Show some respect...before this season, there have been very few insulting posts on here. Now, every other post is intended to demean a particular candidates' supporters.

Wait on bended knee for tomorrow night. If you go to the following website between 7:30 and 8 central time on Sunday, you may be rewarded ;-)

!!!Spoiler Alert !!!

From Jorden Harper, the writer of The Great Red Dragon:

"A lot of things happen in this episode that can’t be taken back, and things are going to change permanently. The whole world we’ve built gets shaken to the core. There are some deaths.”

"There will be an answer to the fate of Brett Partridge — in one of my favorite scenes, actually, in an episode that’s full of big scenes."

My intention is not to trick you. You must understand that.



Episode 6: I am Mystical Magic Man from Candy Land here to rain Sugary Spoilers.

Jane take's Lisbon's phone because its bugged, (he takes it during the hug.)

Then Patrick uses a shotgun to shoot noone in his house. Only one gunshot is heard because Ray Haffner has the vertical tattoo. When Ray showed his shoulder, he concealed it.  The phone is still in the car, so Red John thinks Patrick has shot Haffner. That's why the screen goes outside. To show it can be heard in the bugged phone. But Patrick doesn't actually shoot Haffner. The 3 people with the tattoos, are working for Robert Kirkland. They are actually undercover agents in law-enforcement clean up.

In season 2, Robert Kirkland meets with Minelli. After the conversation, Minelli retires, as the new boss is undercover, and planted by Robert Kirkland. Gale Bertram is undercover in "Tyger, Tyger," which is a law-enforcement conspiracy headed by Red John. They both agree, Bertram is more useful as head of CBI, as he can feed back more information on Tyger Tyger, as he is in a higher position, he can learn more.

And yes, Reede Smith shot Michael Kirkland... it's so obvious.. beer belly, a complete lack of knowledge on the "Tyger Tyger" conversation with Reede. Michael immediately realises he's been played.

So the 3 with the horizontal tattoos are separated, and Patrick feigns gunshots for the bugged phone. Then Sherriff McAllister is ordered by Patrick to tie up Haffner and Stiles and kidnap them. Gale Bertram and Reede Smith are ordered by Patrick to become fugitives.

Then Patrick stays to blow up his house.

Tyger, Tyger will be exposed in the Great Red Dragon. Red John loses his source of followers. Both Visualise and Tyger Tyger are down the drain.

Lorelei Martins appears, Red John's last hope. Lisbon thinks she's reformed, and gives her information, but it turns out Lorelei Martins is still a loyal footsoldier to Red John. Later we find out Ray Haffner actually abducted and raped her sister.

At the end of the episode, there is a massive but subtle clue that Brett Partridge is Red John.

That's all I can say for now. Now just wait for the episode to air. I will return next week.

One more prediction: Red John does not have the tattoo Jane is looking for and Jane knows it.

There is absolutely no evidence that the PI hired to spy ever met RJ or was killed personally by him. To make that assumption is totally irresponsible. Jane knows that, but he also knows it's the perfect time to come unhinged with that assumption.

He also knows that Lisbon's phone is bugged and tracked.

All he needs to do is tell her his theory, and RJ will have the opening to an endgame he can't refuse.

Everything Jane tells Lisbon from this point on are things Jane wants RJ to hear and believe--even that he'll bring Lisbon with her. Then he waits until the last second, ditches her in the middle of nowhere, and takes her phone. RJ now has no idea where she is, other than that her phone shows him to still be with Jane.

In other words, she's safe for a window of time.

In the meantime, Jane has made it abundantly clear that he is looking for a tattoo of 3 dots. If such a tattoo exists on RJ, it's easy enough to cover up at this point. What Jane knows is that the person (or as it turns out people) who has/have the tattoo are willing to die for RJ. Anyone with the tattoo RJ is willing to lose. Anyone without, he is not.

So 3 guys show up with the tattoo, making it seem like that's the mark of the RJ club, but Jane knows it isn't because he's seen every inch of Loralei and she doesn't have the tattoo. Plus he's seen the bodies of other co-conspirators who died, and they don't have tattoos either.

So it's not a club mark. It's a mark RJ placed on 3 dudes as he plays into Jane's hands.

For years, some people thought RJ is Partridge with almost no proof or analysis, that's ok. We all have our own RJ.

Then RJ killed Partridge, yet some people still think RJ is Partridge.

Partridge faked his own death!!111!!!1
What if RJ killed the Partridge identity???? (or some similar crap I will never understand. What are you guys smoking?)

Well, hopefully, tomorrow night's episode will put an end to this stupidity of Partridge fanboys. 

Now go and click unplausible :)
