THE THEORIES

By now everyone who has the slightest common sense knows that the list of 7 does not include Red John. Obviously Red John and Patrick are very close to one another and Patrick already figured it out long ago. First he took down his followers(Blake association) and now he's after him. Red John is either Patrick's father,uncle or sibling.

End of story.

Ps : Thank god partridge is dead.

I don't think Pj is Rj, he's just one of the popular choices so I'll be putting this here.

I just want to point out some things that might be happening in the trailer.

*LINK IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExwMYqY0Uo0*

~ If you go at 0:08, you see a bald man with dark skin. That clearly is the FBI man who came and shutdown the CBI at the end of Ep.07. I believe Jane had caught Bertram (Who I don't think is Rj btw), and the man came to his rescue. Bertram flee'd the scene, and this man was probably talking to Pj saying stuff like "I got you" and stupid stuff bad guys say before they are going to "KILL" someone. You see that his team pop out of cars, probably meaning they go and save him from the man.

~ The part right after it says "Hunted", is probably after his team has killed/taken the FBI man, and Jane starts chasing after Bertram (Or maybe someone else, McAllister possibly?). When he smashes through the house I think whoever the person is slows down, and Jane gets them (Figures out they are not Rj, but they might still die).

~ Should be obvious the part at the church was the reason we saw that odd look on Pj's face at the end of the episode, he has that face when there is a presence of Rj, or an Rj face on the wall. I believe that man is 100% not Rj, but probably someone from the Blake Organization (Yes, I do think they are connected).

~ The very end is after Pj shoots him (he doesn't die ofcourse), and he is asking for Mercy. This should be pretty obvious considering Pj says "Now you want mercy"


Who I think Red John is? I don't know really. I also have a theory about how LaRoche is connected to the Blake Organization, after he cut out the dude's tongue. My best guess is maybe Bob Kirkland/Michael Kirkland (1 of them certainly died, but it could've been either) or Jane's father (I would honestly love to hear the backstory to this),

People who believe that McAllister is Red John due to the promo clips make me sick. If you think it's him, then you know nothing about this show

I pretty much went dark from the internet from saturday to monday so i didnt see any spoilers after i made my final prediction, I went with Ray Haffner. Now, I honestly have no idea who RJ is, I narrowed it down to around 5 people haha.

After last nights episode I have changed my mind for obvious reasons (death).

Last nights episode ended with Jane in a church and we see in next weeks promo that someone follows him into the church and Jane shoots him. This can't be Red John as thats supposed to take place in a park and surely they'll save that for the end of the episode, not the first 5 mins. I heard people saying it could be Judge Manchester (maybe leader of Tyger, Tyger) who could have signed the federal warrant we see at the end of last nights episode.
It could also be Tom McAllister who I believe survived the explosion. How was he the only one out of the 4 on the other side of the room that got burnt to a crisp? He could have smuggled that bomb in under his hat which was placed on the sofa where Bret Stiles and Ray Haffner were sat. I think it was McAllister who gets shot in the church and we later see running through the graveyard outside and through the window of someones house. But I have no idea how that relates to the RJ story if it is indeed Tom McAllister as the meeting with RJ would go down in a park later in the episode.
They said themselves in the episode trust no one as anyone could be in Tyger Tyger. So why should they trust the DNA results that came back. But McAllister was the only one who supposedly died but shouldn't have.

My guess for RJ identity is either Tom McAllister (which I can't really explain). Why would he meet him in the park later if they just met in the church earlier on. (Maybe he was the one ordered to kill Jane's family?)

Then there's Gale Bertram who has already been identified as Red John. I can't see it at all. When he killed the Bar Man, it was sloppy, not like RJ's careful precision. Why would they reveal RJ this week and make it so anti-climactic.

Final choice is Brett Partridge (yes, another Partridge theory, thats how lost I am.) Didn't see his face and every scene of importance seems to have the birds which relates to his death, and name)

Then again it could be anyone, Ron, Kirkland, Gandhi or Santa Claus. I can make cases for each equally.
Just hope for an epic finale to one of my favorite storylines.

The way  this has been set up   the options are limited.

A) Whatever  Kirkland,  as  in  Bob  "lost  his bro " to  " red  john"  in a  " your father was betrayed by a  jedi called darth vader"  .  Stupid.

B) Partridge,  oh, so obvious  gets himself  " killed" first to operate freeley.  Booooooring.

C)  Patrick jane,  finally comes  to realize  he is a bipolar  psyco   and goes to pray  .  Pffff    so many seasons for this shit?

Any other solution will  be  so much more  dissapointing.

So i guess  we are up  for a dissapointment regardless.

Lets get crazy  and say  red john is  Chos  drugadict  ex girlfriend,  or janes father!!!!

I think by now Patrick is beginning to realize that it is his alter ego or so called Red John, that created the Blake org. as he keeps finding Blake's books in the bathroom. Inexplicably. So I believe over the course of the next episodes he is going to get PJ and RJ in one reality in his mind to have dinner and settle their differences.
