It makes sense now why Kirkland would ask people if they recognize him because I believe Kirkland thought his brother is Red John. That is why he wanted to kill him on his own. Bob Kirkland was very sadistic himself-imagine what his brother is like. Surely if it was his brother anyone who has actually seen Red John would think it was Bob Kirkland. It is not surprising at all that various law enforcement people would all want to bag the Red John case for themselves, or that there would be a renegade group that uses their own methods to deal with criminal cases. I concur with Red Dragon's theories around the biblical and William Blake references in the show-to that end I think that Bret Stiles has some connection to the murders and that he killed or had killed his own son, Brett Partridge as a sacrifice. I also believe that Brett Partridge said Tyger,Tyger to Lisbon because she is part of the conspiracy. I don't believe that the conspirators are working with Red John, but they are inadvertently leaking information.
Some people think that when Heller said "You can trust the list" that it meant RJ is on the list.
I think it meant you can trust the people on the list. None of them are RJ.
I still think that Jane is in the process of setting RJ up.
I believe that several of the people on the list suspect that Jane is RJ-hence the meeting in Bertram's office where
Reede tells Bertram it's his job to know what Jane is up to.
I believe that Partridge is indeed alive and that he is a wannabe RJ trying to insert himself in the action.That woman on the bench feeding the pigeons sure looked like Partridge.
Jane repeatedly relies on creating a diversion in order to solve his crimes.
The identity of Red John is revealed in episode 7, yet I think it won't be the real Red John.
Partiridge is a copy cat. Tyger,Tyger.
Copy that?
"Happy memory" thing is easy to explain in mentalism way. (Almost) everyone has that friend from the past which reminds of some "good old days". In this case it's childhood. Red John has Patrick very well researched, so finding such person wasn't a problem. It's plausible (like everything in the show) and you don't need any mind reading skills to do that.
My theory (or should I say hopes) about Red John is that he's Brett. Everything else would be disappointing, because I don't think that Heller and producers can come with something that will suprising and... good. I hate that Red John evolved from normal serial killer to some Moriarty style villain with hundreds of accomplices who are ready to die for him without any hesitation, and I'm afraid that ending could be so twisted that it will be just overdone (i.e. "Lost", clearly writers just didn't know how to end the show and resolve that tons of mysteries!).
And one funny thing about season finale - why the heck they transport such a valuable convict like that woman from social services who was RJ puppet in such ordinary way? If they knew how important this person is and about suicidal tendencies of RJ friends (and they clearly did know!), they would never let her be transported only with one cop and without any protection from commiting suicide. "Mentalist" has often problems depicting CBI and police work...in real life there's no way that they would let so many witnesses so easily die. There's offcourse more lapses such as how it's possible they didn't pursue the plane from "Red John's Footsteps" (I think they could easily get to this plane and the pilot) or didn't have RJ on tape when he come into CBI offices or around the building (in one episode there was a footage he did from his car - at least they should try to find that car)? There are no cameras around (he was also in a shop stalking Darcy)?
