Two simple questions: Season 3 finale.

- Why does Timothy Carter show up? PJ and his team think they figured out that Bertram was the CBI spy. So PJ told only him to meet in that mall with Hightower right? How could Craig O'Laughlin found out since he was RJ's accomplice? Did van Pelt tell him? I doubt so. How did RJ get to know of the meeting with Hightower?

- After PJ tells Betram that they found Hightower he immediately calls somebody. Did he call Bob Kirkland since he is indebted to tell him about every move PJ does? If he called him how could RJ find out? Or did he call some of his BA accomplices? But who the hell would tell a country sheriff who's nothing to do with city life? I doubt that Betram called McAllister. He said himself nobody within the BA society knows about his identity.


Maybe I'm missing something. These were just some question that came to my mind when i rewatched Season 3 finale... best episode ever ;'(

I know there’s some trolling going on right now and I thinkt
that’s why people stop writing down their thoughts or questions. I guess a lot
of people still visit this website to see wethere there are some good new theories/thoughts
or the troll is still acting crazy. No offense Stoopkid. Kudos to you if Rigsby
really is RJ . But if that’s the case there will be more plotholes than before (RJ
= McAllister). For more information look up here: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/16713

 

Here are some of my thoughts and some of my questions and
thoughts. I hope you guys can help me out.

1.)  Why would every
BA member have a tattoo? Wouldn’t this be too obvious? If there are thousands
of law enforcement guys running around with a three dot tattoo on their
shoulder everybody would be suspicious. That means that the members of BA
always had to wear at least a t-shirt, never took a shower in the office
showers, never went to the open air pools, always had sex with a t-shirt on
(lol), and so on. The list could go on about 10 pages. They had to do
everything to hide the tattoo as much as possible. Why not just the „tyger tyger“
password? Why did they need a tattoo? They could just have made some special
hand signs and than saying „tyger tyger“? I don’t get it^^

2.)  Did Bob Kirkland know that Reede Smith
was BA? He says he did some researches on him. Did he somehow find out that his
crime got covered up by someone? In my opinion he’s acting like he knows. He
also knows that RJ is probably a member, too. So maybe he tries to get RJ
reveal himself to him. As long as we know the only law enforcement guy RJ ever
contacted several times was PJ. Maybe Bob Kirkland wanted RJ to contact him
somehow so he can find him or at least get some new clues.

3.) Bob Kirkland was obviously chewing something. What was that? Was it the „business
card“ of BA? He also looked around in the car. Maybe for a spot to hide it? But
if you look closely you can se it in his left hand when he jumps out oft he car
(at 1:50). So what was he hiding? Did he left a clue for PJ?



Reede Smith also says: „we had an eye on you for a long time“ How did they
found out what Bob Krikland knew about BA? Were there some BA members in Homeland
Security, too? So why didn’t they kill him earlier? He could have told
everybody what he found out. I think that Bob Kirkland had a bunch of clues and
informations about BA and even RJ beeing the head. 




4.) Why did RJ kill Brett Patridge? In my opinion he was one of the most useful
members to BA. He could hide every murder with false information. He was able
to switch DNA data for every BA member that needed to seem to be dead. So why
kill him off? Betram for sure was killed because the whole world thought he was
RJ. Going to the press and shout out that he is RJ was only a trick to lure the
true RJ out of the fog. But why Partridge?


5.) Why didn’t RJ kill Rosalind Harker? Why didn’t he get
mad with her when she told PJ things about „Roy Tagliaferro“? RJ always found
out what Jane gathered as new information. Is this really an alias of RJ? Or
did she meet with some one else? But why would RJ be with her? Did he truly
love her? That would be a risk for him, too. And why did he leave her without saying
anything? Except Rosalind Harker EVERY person that RJ was „friends“ with were
only pawns that were useful for him. He never cared about them and killed them
off when they failed/fulfilled their mission.

6.) Why did Bob Kirkland kill that guy? He could have get some informations
about RJ’s hiding place or something. Did he only care about his twin brother?
Did he want to know if he’s still alive and that’s all?



Why did they even mention a twin brother? This was on purpose. There’s a deeper
meaning in that. We know that his twin brother probably got attached to RJ and
is/was working for him. There were a lot of theories around here that said his
twin brother is still alive and is in fact RJ. Some people say we saw Michael
Kirkland on screen at least once covered up as Bob Kirkland. Maybe, maybe not.
What are your thoughts?


Bob Kirkland says that his brother is dead, that he thinks
RJ killed him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFBVFdk_paM
– at 3:50). At 4:38 Bob Kirkland says: „This isn’t the best place to talk“.
Why? Is there some BA member around? It’s the last chance for him to give all
his information to PJ. He knows that he will die since he told Reede Smith what
he knows. So why didn’t he help the man that will probably  fulfill his own and there for his revenge?
Bob Kirkland would never ever have a chance again to hunt him down.


7.) Why the hell didn’t RJ have an escape plan? He always
acted carefully. He had at least a plan B and C and never showed up in person
or showing his face.  That woman who
appeared in the church was not a good help (I heard she was played by Robin
Tunney’s (Lisbon) sister?? So she is kind of the counterpart of Lisbon. That
makes Pj vs. RJ and Lisbon vs. Woman??).

8.) There has already been one imposter (Timothy Carter), so
there still could be a slight possibility that McAllister is a red herring,
too. But i doubt it. I don’t think that Xander Berkeley would go out of his
role and present himself as the main villian of a show and tell us how shocked
he was when he found out, just to fool the audience. I dont think any producer
would do something like this just to get a freaking „holy shit“ moment at the
end of the season when a red smiley is drawn on a wall and it seems that RJ is
still alive.

9.) And in the end a question that may even the creators don’t
know: How the Hell(er) did RJ guess PJ’s list months before?!...

 

 

I am a fan since the beginning and I have the feeling that
Brett Partridge was indeed RJ. They cancelled him off because people started to
find out even before season 5 and the list. By the way. Craig Corrigan (Bob
Kirkland) is a great actor! He always seemde creepy. I loved that even though i
knew he probably won’t be RJ. He made a great job. In my opinion he deserved
more screen time.

That episode and especially PJ's pants gave me cancer!

"Xander is a wonderfully subtle actor who can go deep — deep enough to be our Red John," says series creator/exec producer Bruno Heller,
who says he selected McAllister to be his Big Bad "about a year ago,
after carefully weighing all other options. McAllister made the most
sense. He had the perfect cover job as the sheriff of Napa, where he was
the master of his domain. No one ever questioned his whereabouts. He
didn't have to answer to anyone. He needed that freedom and the quiet
loneliness of the countryside to do his thing as Red John."


So all the clues we got before are useless. Wasn't the audience supposed to be able to solve the RJ case before it would be revealed? Didn't Heller claim that the clues we already gathered would lead to only one person? So how exactly do WE can solve a mystery before it gets revealed when the writer doesn't even know who his f*cking antagonist is?! -.-

Will we get more information about Red John?

Heller: We won’t be going back.  …  Once the curtain is drawn back from these evil Wizard of Oz
characters they tend not to be very interesting dinner companions. They
tend to be ego-maniacal one-track minds … There is a great deal of
[backstory], if anyone waned to ask those questions, I’d be happy to
answer. There’s a lot of questions about motivations and what [Red John]
was doing and when and how… It makes for great Internet fodder, but
it’s not very entertaining for a weekly TV audience.


Ok guys, this is it. No explanations at all. Thank you Bruno Failer for nothing!

Okay, after the big disappointment .. here are some thoughts. But I don't know.. ever since we watched the Mentalist the one thing we learned is: never ever trust the obvious..

Does Bruno Heller really wanna tell us that PJ never knew who RJ was before he revealed himself? If so, in my opinion PJ lost to RJ. The whole series was like a chess game. Both of them made some moves to confuse the other one or take some pawn in game out of the way. And in the end PJ still didn't know who RJ was. He just hunted down all the 3 suspects that were left. WOW.. that's very Mentalist-like... all the cases alongside the RJ-storyline were solved with brilliance and true 'mentalism' ... and now he's meeting with some guy who he thinks he might be RJ (and besides tells the whole world about it) just to notice 'oh dude look.. there's some other guy walking up the hallway' .. 'trololol here i am patrick.' ... screw that!!! And here comes my question. Why did PJ look down the hallway at ~24min (before RJ appeared)? Was he just acting with coution or did he wait for the 'true RJ' to show up because he knew neither Smith nor Bertram are RJ? Was he sure that the man with a tattoo who supposedly died HAS to be RJ?

But one thing is sure.. If Bruno Heller doesn't give us a shit load of RJ vs PJ flashbacks this whole series is fucked up. There were and still are so many plot holes, so many clues that don't fit and so many scenes that need to be answered.
