JANE KNEW HE'D HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF LIST OF SUSPECTS before he actually did: as he got closer to RJ -- everyone, including Lisbon and CBI team, FBI and Homeland, and even RJ himself  -- would want to know what Jane knows.  SO, Jane HAD to give something, but does ANYONE really think Jane is going just hand IT over like that?


1) FIRST FAKE LIST: that Jane left for who was spying on him [Kirkland] was a bunch of low life scum that were likely continuing their same heinous crimes, so Jane had a clear conscious about setting these men up should someone try to harm them. Do ANY of us care that the pedophile from last episode lost his finger? No, I think we're only sad Kirkland let him live. 



2) SECOND FAKE LIST:  [of 7 supposed suspects] -- Jane corroborating with Lisbon & team so cooperatively makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and I think everyone who loves this show knows that.  Thus, in order to save myself from feeling gypped by the current writing of Jane's uncharacteristic behavior, we have to look beyond what we've been told, which is really just what we've been led to believe.  Therefore:



3) I think Jane is "playing along" with the list of 7 -- because like his first list, the suspects are likely all involved in corruption,
anyway. So, if Lisbon investigates them, it's a win-win because these guys need to be exposed.



In a way, you could say: NO LIST IS actually FAKE -- as both lists have very bad criminals on it who need to come to justice.  They are REAL lists in a sense -- and COULD lead to RJ somehow -- even though I think PJ knows RJ's real name is not actually on it. 


JANE KEEPS HIS REAL LIST IN HIS HEAD - because he trusts only himself.   He's ALWAYS been this way:  why would he change now?


JANE WILL REVEAL RED JOHN when RED JOHN REVEALS HIMSELF -- THROUGH the TRAP JANE SETS FOR HIM.  [So, I have to wonder, is the LIST a part of the trap?]

I think red john is not one person, it's more than one, just someone out of them is so abnormal and self-assured that uses their name to have fun.

For me, the only TRUE payoff to the RJ storyline is if one of Jane's closest people turns out to be RJ (Cho, Rigsby, Van Pelt, etc...)

I'd like to think that Red John is smart enough NOT to let himself be narrowed down to 7 (obvious) people.

I'd like to think that Patrick Jane is smart enough NOT to tell Lisbon the 7 names cause he KNOWS she would go tell everyone on the team (unless that's what PJ wants her to do, knowing that its someone on the team)

I'd like to think that Bruno Heller is smart enough NOT to tell us that only 7 possible people could be Red John.

I just dont get the theories solving and justifying based on anagrams.

For eg "REEDE SMITH" is anagram for "The red is me" 

The psycho killer here is named Red John. He didnt come up with it himself and shout that his name is RED JOHN? His only signature is the red smiley. its just a name that the cbi use to refer him as he is anonymous.

No more of these anagram theories please!!! They are like puzzles in a childs show like Janes fake suspect name "Dont Hurtme" 

I know a few ways to find out who Red John is but for this, we have to get help from other TV shows as follows:

1- Mr. Reese and Harold Finch from "Person of Interest" could help us find the social security number of the victim or Red John before a murder but they have to move the machine to California first.

2- Raymond Reddington from "The Blacklist" could get to him using his connections.

Just bored you know??? Let's see him already!!!!
