Red John is obviously the company from Prison Break and the leader The General got Plastic surgery and now goes by the name Bret Stiles , Jk i have no idea tonight's show reminded me of that lol

Hi fellas

I haven't watched the fourth episode but this is the new update on the mentalist wiki about  eighth episode of the sixth season of The Mentalist ( RED JOHN )

This episode will possibly feature the revelation of Red John's true identity or the end of his narrative arc. It will also probably spell the end of the Tyger Tyger collective, causing ripples throughout law enforcement. Michael Gaston and Drew Powell are gonna be in this episode, meaning probably one of them is Red John.

I just hope they have a strong back story because i am really disappointed of my favorite show

What if Rosalind Harker lied about RJ's appearance. When Rigsby and Cho open the locker (Season 1 finale) and read the letter by Rosalind, there she will mention that she has found the card behind the sofa. Ok.. She found the card, then how can she write a letter to that address ? She is blind and could not see. how can she write a letter to that address. That card is not printed in Braille's Script (im sure). Just wondering. 
  

Is it possible that Red John is actually a number of people? For example, could it be Brett Stiles, Bertram, and Kirkland?

I'm just starting to think it needs to be more than one person for him to be so omnipotent.

For the R.J. is a group/network theorists.

"This isn't Jane against one pathetic loser who is hiding out in a basement somewhere. He's not fighting the Green River Killer. He's fighting Moriarty." - Bruno Heller (http://www.tvguide.com/news/mentalist-bruno-heller-1044503.aspx)

Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes on Moriarty:

*Moriarty is "the Napoleon of Crime, the greatest schemer of all time, the organiser of every devilry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations."

"He sits motionless, like a spider in the centre of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organised. Is there a crime to be done, a paper to be abstracted, we will say, a house to be rifled, a man to be removed - the word is passed to the Professor, the matter is organised and carried out. The agent may be caught. In that case money is found for his bail or his defence. But the central power which uses the agent is never caught - never so much as suspected. This was the organization which I deduced, Watson, and which I devoted my whole energy to exposing and breaking up."

"When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities."

"His career has been an extraordinary one. He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty...But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers."

Red John could be a by product of tiger tiger org. He who created the tiger created the lamb (red John). He may have a grouse against the tiger tiger org and may have some members working for him. This way he knows all the inside info.  Alternatively he may be a member of the tiger org.

So, Bob Kirkland was hunting RJ himself – not very surprising, is it? However, why did he kill Jason Lennon then? He could have asked him who RJ is and save himself a lot of time (and murders).

This seems like a major hole in the plot, doesn't it?
