THE THEORIES

I think Red John is possibly Lisbon's nemesis Tommy Volker because he is a multi billionaire which means he can get people to kill for him like we have already seen and he just lets people get there hands dirty while he can walk free just like Red John.Many people are afraid of Tommy Volker because of what they can do to him and thats the type of person Red John is.Like Red John Tommy is really smart as Jane has said and is the reason why Lisbon can't catch him.I don't know whether he is working with Robert Kirkland but he has warned Lisbon about Tommy because he is dangerous and that is exactly like Red John.He is the right size,build,age and has straight hair like Rosalind describes I know that is a lot of people but Iam saying it makes him a possibility.We don't really know much about him but when he reappears I will be able to make my full mind up by looking at small things of what is known about Red John such as his favourite music is Bach and he is a tea drinker.

Slow day here on the site. Dr. TM must have lots of people doing research! Interesting that when they found his body, that it was described as cold(er), could be a stolen mourge body, could be a body dead for just a long time?!? The "body" is uncredited and the actor unkown, so no way to see if the actor had appeared before. The idea that he's sitting or next to PJ at any point in the series is just unprovable, even if true. Interestingly enuff, I believe the gentleman that VM goes out to meet in the limo might be?!? Listed as CA State Govenor, exciting! So,iIf its not the good Dr. In the mourge now, who is it? I'm still not sure why RJ would have to fake his "real life" death. I guess if Hicks shows up at the office following Bosco's lead, RJ offs him, then has to cover his tracks and thus need a body. However, as long as Carter Peaks body was taken care of RJ need not panic. How does a family doctor have enought juice to do the tricks and get the inside info he does. Still on the fence. However, the name does mean something. If you slow down the frame the names on the other page, you'll see like three women's names. Not suspects but names of people associated with the show. Casting and producton people. So it's not like they just made up stuff on a piece of paper. The list required thought. Speaking of the list. The DA's name, under it says "road block"?!? Anybody get that reference, I don't.

Look at some past bad guys. Dumar, Todd Johnson, Rebecca, the guy from he covience store with the bombs, all make comments that there is a plan, a big picture, a reason for everything RJ does. So what is this plan?!?

Not sure why the dump our two TNT hours for Castle ( also a great show but shark already jumped) but at least we get a few episodes tomorrow! Happy watching!!

I'm currently rewatching the seasons looking for clues, but something I found interesting is the names of Season 5's episodes. There are three different episodes with the word Cherry in the name. Is this relevant at all, or am I seeing more than is necessary? Usually the title of an episode is tied into the epidsode's plot somehow, but I don't see this with these three episodes (Devil's Cherry, Cherry Picked, Black Cherry).

A interesting post yesterday from RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo it reminding me of something that caught my eye but didn't click right
away. Why is the good
Dr. Towlen Morning on
the list of RJ suspects that PJ has at
the end of the last episode. In my
brain, I processed it as Dr. Wagner, who was a RJ copycat from the
Pilot. RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
is correct it is Dr. Morning. Now I'm not fully on board with his complete theory. The case of
mistaken identity with a one legged man (Carter Peak)
is too much for me. Plus, if Jane recognized the Doctors name, I'm sure the cops had checked him out the first time around. However, all the
other names on the list are popular theories and could just be Bruno Heller stringing us along for a ride (a
ride we help feed). Dr. Morning on
the other hand is thought dead and I've only ever seen RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
list him as a legit suspect in this
forum. So it is very curious. The note also says "Deceased?" why put the question mark? I assume that when they identify a body at the CBI they are pretty sure who it
is?!? It also says, "Early RJ victims" which ties into my
post yesterday about how important those victims are and that's the story
line the writers will take us and need to take us next.
I'm really glad RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
put this post not only to jog my memory of the list but its that kind of out of
the boxing thinking and observation; that makes this show fun. Not the RJ must
be GVP because she has red hair!! LOL, look at a lot of the female characters,
there is a lot of red hair on this show!!

To follow on from the guy who is theorising about Dr Towlen Morning I would like to point out that according to several sources, the guy sitting next to Jane and Kristina at the restaurant is believed to be Towlen Morning...

This is not an accusation but I'm following up on the idea that he could have faked his death

I can't stop thinking Danny Ruskin is Red John. I've re-watched the episode [S03, E02.] over and over. Each time I'm more convinced its him.

There's a very chilling feel to his last quotes of the episode when he's with Jane at the cemetery.

"Sorry I asked to come.. Who knew a trip to the cemetery would be such, a downer."

And then the way he says; "Guilt is for marks. You know that right?"

He also certainly fits the physical description if Red John. He and Jane are also very, very alike.
