Not really suspecting anyone yet, but just a theory on Partridge.

I don't yet buy that Partridge is out of the picture.  There are some similarities here, such as weight, size, and especially voice which doesn't seem to be masked by any kind of device.  Red John knows Patrick has a list of 7 suspects and one is him, a good idea might be to kill off one on that list, him, obviously this would have to be faked.  Think about it, Lisbon found Partridge, then got knocked out, almost looked like she was tripped, i.e. partridge pulling out her legs from underneath her while talking to Patrick.  We know RJ has many connections, could be working with someone to fake his death, we have not seen/heard anyone on Lisbon's team investigate the body, they might just be going on someone else's word, as there's no real reason to think otherwise.  Remember, in one episode, Rigsby faked his death without no one knowing.  Keep in mind also, that Partridge repeated a part of the poem, which PJ and team most likely never mentioned to him, at least they didn't in any episodes, even if RJ told it to him, why repeat it to Lisbon?  Also, why kill Partridge, what would be the point, especially due to his incompetence, I don't see Partridge giving him any real reason.  Not saying I necessarily think it's him, just that I think it's still within the realm of possibility, we'll have to wait to see for sure.

I am RED JOHN.

A clear suspect is yet to be developed.

These episodes are simply opening up new leads. For example, Red John is a middle aged man with good posture. Can this really eliminate anyone for sure? You could argue that this takes Stiles out of the picture, but it is debatable. The only one we can be 100% positive about is Partridge considering the fact that he is dead...why he said Tyger, Tyger to Lisbon was confusing though? Do you think he was the person who came to talk to Patrick in Red Sky in the Morning? Their voices were similar.

As for this weeks episode, very little new evidence was found, if any. This episode did nothing to exclude a suspect. I personally do not believe that the tape recording about Roth being afraid of heights means anything. Couldn't he have been lying? Who says that Red John would tell the truth to a psychiatrist? McAllister saving Jane's life on the roof was just another way Heller is trying to confuse us.

What are your thoughts on the meeting between McAllister, Bertram and Smith? "How much does Jane really know?" I don't know what to think. One of them might be RJ, and the others could be accomplices.

I'm looking forward to the next episode. It's going to be a good one.

Here's one for David Lynch fans...

Could Red John be similar to Killer BOB from Twin Peaks?  Some kind of evil spirit that can manifest in different people?

It would be a big change of direction for the show, because it's always said there are no psychics, etc.  But then, the show is going to have a big change of direction.  (RJ case finished, Rigsby and VanPelt leaving the show, two new cast members joining, episode titles changing from red-themed to blue-themed, etc.)

More bonus out-there speculation for Lynch fans: Think about how Red John would fit in with the Red Lodge from Twin Peaks, the sinister red color of the Club Silencio in Mulholland Dr., etc.)

Answer to R-Tagliaferro:
RJ have helpers?
And we know when someone painted smiley face on Lisbon's face,he painted it wrong(eyes were open),so that also proves that someone who have been with Lisbon in that dark house isn't RJ(It's RJ helper).

I don't see any way that RJ is a group of people (like the whole list). RJ is a serial killer that kills people for, among other reasons, talking bad about him on TV. IMO the only way a group RJ works is if everybody they kill is for political reasons or to protect the group but we already know that isn't the case because what would be the purpose of killing PJ's family, the reporter, etc. RJ has subordinates, disciples and friends but IMO the man himself has to be a person not a group.

This is my theory:
I think that RJ isn't someone from the list.
I mean,we are all thinking that RJ is someone from list and Bruno knows that if he puts someone from the list,half of people will be disapointed with that choise.I think that after all this seasons that we watched,Bruno doesn't wants to disapoint any of us.I think that he will choose a safer possiblity.I think that he will choose someone from CBI or someone that we would never suspect(My first suspect is CBI Ron,but maybe I'm wrong),and everyone will be suprised with that choise(No one will be disapointed).
But maybe I am wrong.Bruno knows the best ending of this series and i think that in the end it will be a big suprise who RJ is.

So thats my theory.Comment bellow and let me know what do you think. :)
