Having just watched Episode 2 from the latest season, a few things are beginning to Irk me.
1. 7 suspects = red john, seven letters - this could be the seven disciples of the red john cult sister cult to visualize started in Elliston in the 80's where jane first met the leader of the red john cult and shook his hand (maybe).
2. In an episode where Mashburn meets Jane outside his helicopter business in an earlier Season, (Interesting emblem above the helicopter) Mashburn got out of the car and his hand gesture looks like he was going in for a handshake but we don't actually see a handshake take place. They tell Jane that Mashburn was threatened by a computerized voice and When Red John speaks to Jane is uses a synthesized version of jeans voice that is pitch changed so it sounds higher but it is definitely Simon Bakers voice. Again hinting at
Tiger Tiger = The other side of me. Dark/Light ? one a lamb and the other a tiger
5. There were helicopters on the wall in the background when Patrick Jane visited the offices where they made the drones.
6. LIsborn has made references to things that by rights she hasn't been told by Jane - so rather than poker, maybe she is a part of the problem not the solution and she is there to mark his progress and feedback information to use against him. The phone tap was a bit of a farce how could jane NOT know she was going to go behind his back, he set that up as bait but it was already pre-planned, Lisborn had to find a way NOT to keep the secret otherwise the plan to kill off some of the list and make her a victim would not work
7. Carmen Lee mentioned by the nurse when Jane is in the hospital room provokes Jane to call Sophia. Who is Carmen Lee and what has he said about her to Sophia, what is the connection between Red John, Carmen Lee and Patrick Jane?
8. Jane obsessively drinks tea, a very British thing to do, but Jane isn't British. Red John speaks well and is very charming....interesting.
9. I still think the blood on the wall left by an early victim was "He is Mad"
so - a few ideas
1. Patrick Jane killed his wife and daughter in a physoctic break and he is subconsciously fighting against the demons in his head by searching to the deepest part of his mind to unearth the root cause - labelled Red John. He is a split personality and his better side attempts to solve the case and free himself of the british villian red john which is his alternate, that's why he hears his own voice because it is him setting himself up
2 He met the cult leader in elliston in the 80s was invited to join and declined and now as he has called him out red john cult is insulted and the leader is set out to break him once and for all but his initiation will only be complete once he discovers the really reason why his wife and child were murdered - because he was married to red johns sister
3. Mashburn or Ellis Marrs and his merry band of Illuminati and Lisbon is his wife
4. Jane is in a coma and when he wakes up all the characters are doctors and nurses in the hospital - a bit like Momento, searching for John G. He was searching for his
wifes killer thinking he was an insurance investigator when the whole
time he was Leonard Shelby a victim of a house burglary that left him
with brain damage. His wife did not die in the burglary but because he couldn't make new memories she deliberately let him overdose her with
insulin.)
5. It's Grace.
