I have watched this show from the beginning and people come up with the most ridiculous ideas. Seriously do you really think that Red John was some disfigured person who killed Robert Kirkland, got radical facial reconstruction and took his identity. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Why?? For what purpose. Red John is smart and savvy enough to brainwash someone, get people to KILL PEOPLE and KIDNAP PEOPLE FOR HIM and his is SERIAL KILLER but then says thats not enough I need to take over someones identy and he gets RADICAL FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION. PLEASE. People try to mold certain things to wrap around their theories. What is more possible that Kirkland knows Red John (we all know that RJ has someone high up in government who could be Kirland and Kirkland is the same guy in the limo asking for updates on the RJ case from Minelli) and could have been in a picture or something where Lennon would be able to identify him or Kirkland is RJ and went through radical facial reconstrution. I am sorry I just dont it for a second.

Also think about it for a second instead of trying to parse words on what you MAY think each word means. If you think someone may or may not have seen you a few years ago in a picture or in a previous meeting and could give you up wouldnt you ask them if they recognize you to see if they had said anything. That makes senses. What doesnt make sense is  RJ got radical facial reconstruction JUST to be involved in a case so he could ask the guy if he recognized him. Why would Lennon recognize him if he got facial reconstruction and was using a different voice which I find extremely hard to believe? It makes no sense. I was just waiting for someone to say something something radical. Like I said I go back to what the creator and producers say about RJ instead of trying to invent theories. I still am sold that on the season finale we will find VERY SPECIFIC THING that will COMPLETELY CHANGE the way we search for RJ. Remember PJ has a very unique skill set to be able to search for RJ. What SPECIFIC skill set is that? He is a Mentalist/CON MAN and worked at a carnival. The last episode is at a carnival and introduces two new characters. I think we can all sit here and come up with wild theories but considering how big of a reveal this is and how the creators and producers have consistently thrown us off I just dont buy into Robert Kirkland being  RJ. Now I certainly think he is involved but not RJ and certainly did not get some radical facial procedure. So ridiculous.
