If someone informed me that Red John is the guy who lost to Jane in rock,paper-scissors,i would call them a preposterous lunatic. Even if it turns out that he was Red John,i will never accept/believe it....to me Red John is who we make him out to be.
I was thinking about the clue " He is Mar " (assuming BH does not make random clues without explanation) and a couple of stuff came to mind. Firstly,when he was writing that on the wall maybe his intention was to write n rather than r, but died before he could do that. That means he wanted to write "He is Many" or probably Red John's name.
I checked the dictionary for possible words starting with "Mar" and i could not find anything that would point out to this clue,but there was a word with initials M.A.R with a definition "Master of Arts in Religion". Is Brett Stiles a master in the art of religion? He is the head of a cult so it's natural to assume that he is a master of religion. RJ also has ties with visualize so that must mean something.
According to wikipedia, BH wrote all the past 5 season finales himself. Now all of a sudden in the season 6 finale the writer is someone else named David Appelbaum? I don't know what to make of this...............if Red John were to return would he not take charge of the writing duties? Since that horrible episode 8,he has not directed nor has he written a Mentalist episode. I hope i'm wrong but is this really the end of Red John?
I just watched the season finale of the 2nd season. I think that episode was the best mentalist episode ever............ it literally sent chills down my spine even after all these years. This just motivates me more into believing that RJ is still alive somewhere and will soon make his reappearance.
Different explanations on how Red John predicted that list :-
1) Red John and Jane made the list together so BA would be taken down.The tape was made to convince Lisbon.
2) Jane is Red John and he made that list to deceive the cops.
3) Someone who knows Jane extremely well is Red John,therefore knows his every move and can predict Jane's next move.
Other than these 3,if you have any more suggestions please comment.............
There are no such things as psychics!!
The only thing that might backup Stoopkid's theories regarding VP and Rigsby is their reaction when they learned that CBI is being shut down.Did you see the way they looked at each other? Also, Jane is as cool as a cucumber as though he had intended for this to happen. If BH does intend to give us answers,i think VP and Rigsby will be part of the RJ plot.
Guys please stop fighting here. Grow up,this is a website where we share our theories no matter how ridiculous they sound. I'm tired of checking this site and seeing people acting like children.
