THE THEORIES

 my thoughts on

s06e01 the pidgeon theory
why would red john lure partride.. or bring partridge to a dark dusty room full of pidgeons and plan the attack on lisbon if he is affraid of pidgeons? unless red john knows one of the suspects on the list is affraid and wants to create a fake clue/distraction from himself

and the odd thing.. why would patrick say and s06e01... in the hospital to lisbon about the smiley face on lisbons face:
'rj was just being playfull, runnning out of time, maybe something spooked him, and he couldnt go through his usual routine'..  now... would rj lure lisbon to a room... and then be like.. ohh damn.. i run out of time.. well smiley face... ill let here live..... nahh doesnt sound right....
and .. ohh nooooooo a pidgeon... ill draw a smiley face and leave! nahh

but why does lisbon live... ? maybe because she could say that partrigde said tiger tiger to patrick? draw attention away from partridge?

s06e02  the whistling
why would red john, knowing that patrick might found out he visited Sophie Miller, starts to whistle in the waiting room of sophie miller so she would notice... unless this is  someone on the list likes to whistle aswell

i think red john faked these 2 clues to distract attention from him... 

the writers do a awesome job if misdirecting everyone... i can see many member switching suspects when a new episodes aired

i dont really know who rj is.... i really like the partridge theory about he being not dead,  jack plotnick is a awesome actor and when i saw this video he made i really believed he could be red john.. and besides the video.. in episode s06e01  he has a evil laugh about the corpse on the ground.... like he enjoyed death

it would be awesome if heller and plotnick used the 
outside media to fool the watchers, but maybe thats far fedged

i just think that we are not getting/finding the good clues here... if 90% of the watches see a clue, then im convinced its not a clue.. a red herring

But the only real question about Sheriff McAllister is:

Why did he cut his mustache ?

Heller is playing us all!  If your theory changes every episode, you're falling right into his trap!
In all honesty, we don't have enough information at this point to prove who RJ is.
Here are my ideas of what to base a good theory on:
Look at the themes of the show (misdirection, deception, a story behind the facade, etc.)
Don't read too much into a single "clue," it can always be a red herring.  For example, Rosalind Harker's description of Roy, RJ's voice, the alleged phobia, whether he killed someone or one of his followers did.
Patrick knows more about RJ than we could ever dream, so pay attention to him.  However, sometimes he is acting, lying, deceiving etc. so we can't always trust what we see!  But remember, he is similar to RJ (tyger, tyger symmetry).

Hi I just want to share a few thoughts with you.


How does PJ catch a killer ?


1rst method : keeping some secret information so
that he gets an advantage on the suspects. That's the method PJ is supposed to
use right now to catch RJ.


2nd method : feed suspects with false
information to mislead them and get them do mistakes. 


Now Just imagine the 2nd method is the
actual method PJ is using to catch RJ... 
Who was fed with PJ info ? His own team (PJ is too
clever not to know that Lisbon would tell her Team)


I think RJ could be in Lisbon's Team...



About the list of 7 : Yeah, Heller told us this
list was trustable. To me Heller thiks the same way Patrick does :  Giving us false infos to
mislead us. I think the list of 7 is a trap for our mind.

Thanks for reading. What do you think ?

Not a theory but rather a personal wish:

Please, dear God, let there be one single day without someone posting a "I think RJ is all seven suspects" or a "I think RJ is PJ" theory. I cannot count how many of them have been down-voted already, but they keep coming out of the woodwork :(

Thank you.
