I have posted this theory already [and so have a few others now] so it's hardly new, but I notice there are still many posting about their confusion over whether RJ is dead or alive.  Understandable!  

But just wanted to say that I felt much better about the first eight episodes and the show in general after I realized that seeing the situation in either black [RJ's dead] or white [RJ's alive] -- is the problem, it causes confusion and disappointment, because we have been led to believe that McAllister is Red John, but we know that this defies logic, as well as many clues.

Thus, a new answer is needed to make both arguments work -- and that is that RJ is BOTH dead and alive.

The man who killed Jane's family IS DEAD [McAllister, an RJ henchman] -- thus Jane's killing of McAllister will be justified, and yet the person who ordered this killing is ALIVE [RJ, the mastermind], and so the show continues, as we do not know who this is quite yet.  The reason we do not have any resolution to clues is because only RJ the mastermind holds those. 

RJ is one brain with many tentacles. This really is the ONLY WAY everything works together and it all makes sense.  Think about any good mystery you've ever seen....getting toward the heart of it, it's always the henchman you find first.  Any leader has foot soldiers.  We are only mid-season, so get ready.

Ok, in 06x03, Patrick noted that the sheriff was afraid of birds.
In 06x08, the shit episode, Patrick said he was disappointed that he was not expecting the red john were Sheriff Thomas McAllistar.
So, if was not expected, why he brought the pidgey to scare "Red John"?
In my opinion , he knew that were 2 explosions, he knew that sheriff was alive and brought the pidgey, but, if he knew that Bret Partridge faked DNA infos, he could do the same thing for Haffner and Stiles, and , in 06x06 Jane looked at McAllistar's eyes when he says "I'm not Red John" . C'moon Patrick can see when  everyone is lying, why he didnt shoot in that time?


Sorry for my bad english, and i hope Red John's story has not done yet!

So last night i watched "red johns friends".
Besides rigsby being adament that cbi helps jane thus helping red john by getting jared wrenfrow out of prison so rj could kill him, i literally stared at "he is mar" for an hour.

I concluded that the girl prostitute wrote the message as she died. Unles rj wrote it.
It hit me that she most likely doesnt speak english and that the "h" could of very well been two L's in spanish.

Has anyone out there looked at it that way?
I searched long and hard for spanish words that resemble lleisma but found nothing ...
Anybody have any ideas?

Tiger, TigerI speak French and I do not understand English, so I have to translate your téhories by Google Translate. Unfortunately, when you are misspellings and/or grammatical errors, the site does not quite capture what you write. As the site in French, there is not much téhories so I just see your téhories here. Can you try to make an effort so that I can understand what you say?

Thank you

PS: I think Red John is not Thomas McAllister

Trivia -
The character 'Wayne Rigsby' was initially named 'Wayne Gilzean'.
gilzean meaning 'Servant Of St John'.

But what does it all mean?!

There were a couple things I was wondering as I watching past episodes.  I was hoping some of you had answers or explanations.  I know a lot of you might say things like "Heller sucks" or "they just have plots holes that don't make sense."  But I wanted real explanations about a couple of things.  
So Red John was always impossible to identity or capture.  A lot of people who knew him died before they ever provided information as well.  Patrick even says: "People who can identify Red John end up dead."  There are two specific instances I want to bring into question.
1) In "His Red Right Hand" (2X08) Rebecca Anderson is poisoned and dies.  She falls seconds after RJ (or someone he sent) walks by.  How come the two people who were escorting Rebecca weren't questioned about what the man looked like?  If it was Mcallister, wasn't it weird to them a sheriff is walking by himself in that hall?

2)  In "Red Blinking Light" (4X07) Jane gets Panzer to talk negatively about Red John.  Later, Red John kills Panzer.  This was all part of Jane's plan.  I know Red John is tricky and everything like that, but how come Jane doesn't spy on Panzer so he can at least pick up a clue when RJ comes to kill him? Granted, Jane probably wouldn't have been able to catch/kill RJ, but he knew it was a good possibility that RJ would go kill Panzer!  I remember someone saying this is one reason they thought PJ was in fact RJ.  Why does Patrick just sit and wait?  Maybe set up a trap or something so he can get new info on Red John in that case. 

Ok, so a lot of clues weren't explained such as, "He is Mar", Visualize connection, how RJ got the list, etc etc etc but I've also wondered about RJ and his followers.  The blake association doesn't explain why people would die for him.  I was hoping during the Red John reveal we would understand how he got people like Lorelei and others to do everything he asked of them.

I just checked my TV show calendar for the January episodes. Did they really move it from Sunday to Tuesday starting from Episode 12, or is that a mistake?

If it's not a mistake, it would mean the audience rates have dropped heavily, wouldn't it? Assuming that Tuesday is a worse slot for a TV show than Sunday evening ...
