THE THEORIES

did anyone notice that in season 5 episode 9 (Black Cherry)  at the end of the episode when jane

was looking at his notebook if you pause the episode at 42:36 you will see the page before the

page that had partridge name on it , the first name is covered by jane's finger , and the other

names were (anthony , sammy,  jannie , briana) i hope everyone see it , i think it's very important

if you couldn't see the names , tell me and i will try to explain more clear , thanks .

je n'ai pas de theorie , mais juste une question , pourquoi personne ne parle du poignet casse de Lisbonne dans l'episode 22 , sa cache quelque chose ?? je pense que c'est elle John le rouge mais il doit avoir un rapport .. et pour la liste , john le rouge a su avant que jane trouve les 7 noms vu que lorelei a ete tué bien avant dans les episode .. ce qui fait que bob kirkland aide John le rouge a avoir un coup d'avance sur Jane et je reviens a Lisbonne c'était la seul qui savait sur quoi Jane travaille dans sa cachette .. et si Lisbonne était elle aussi une complice de John le rouge ..
et quand on voit la liste des 7noms , brett patridge est le dernier a sortir .. et la camera reste longtemps fixé sur lui par rapport aux autres ( oui je sais je parle de quelque seconde ^^)

Here is something think about. So we all know patrick shook hands with red john at some point but I think we have yet to see that actually happen in the show. Perhaps the writers put that in there to have the fans go on some wild goose chase. Searching for a clue that has yet to be revealed.

Red John is not a specific human. It is a forever name, to hide the other face of FBI's crimes, so if Mr Jane wants to look for and take revenge of Red john, he is really fighting the whole FBI, and he 'll find nobody. He 'll face "polymorphic" Red john.
FBI will never be guilty, Red john will be accused of all crimes.

Cbs seems to have announced that our famous rj will be revealed at the end of this year. Considering that the last season ended in last may and that the new season seems most likely to last equally long, I guess my predictions will come true. At least I hope so. 

I guess we'll be given a most wanted rj suspect as rj himself (probably partridge) and while the disappointment grows larger, the real impact will be made at the end of the season so that we will realize that it's not the whole story. We will meet the actual rj at the end of the season and things will play out too fast before we even know. And boum... RJ gets killed in public while nobody else has any clue on what's going on. Being unable to kill the one being captured, Patrick kills the actual one as soon as he finds out that he is the one. By the way, it doesn't mean that the previous one is innocent. Both RJs are operative and planners into the whole concept of RJ. It's just, the latter is the real brain behind it. The big fish. 

Apart from this idea, it may also be like pointing him in the middle of the season and trying to get to him for the rest of the season but... I don't think so...

Lorelei Martins dies in S05E16.. So the video of her stating the seven suspects should have taken place before that, whereas Bob Kirkland breaks into Jane's workplace only in S05E19. So, this rules out the chances of Bob Kirkland being Red John or even a messenger to Red John.  Whatever data Bob has, it is most  likely a set of tampered information, so as to divert him from the real trail leading to Red John, irrespective of for whatever reason Bob needs Jane's info.
