Who is Red John?

Theories of RED_LUTZ (50)

McAllister was just another Timothy Carter.  Stiles and Haffner are still alive.   either Stiles is Red John and Haffner is his right hand or Haffner is Red John and Stiles is his mentor      does anyone really believe McAllister survived the blast and Stiles and Haffner (who are way more interesting characters) just died without a second mention      no fuckin way       the big twist will be Stiles and Haffner are still alive     it's also possible in the world of the Mentalist that Partridge or a Kirkland Twin are still in the race for whoisredjohn?  just sayin it's possible     what's not possible is Bruno Heller getting all pissed at CBS and deciding to sabotage the entire show and then moving on to his new tv show. . . . a show set in Gotham but without Batman....ya can't wait       since the season isn't over I have to operate under the assumption that McAllister isn't Red John(just like Carter)  and that this is a season long con by Heller &Co. to give us the rightfull RJ end story that everbody wants    the show is Red John without him there is no show        and when they do reveal the real RJ we will see him kill and we the audience will be shown all the answers in flashbacks    key moments in the RJ story    like actually seeing the death of Jane's family with Stiles or Haffner doing the killing   or a scene that shows what he did to Christine Frye   show me in flashback Red John painting a smiley face and   you can't just tell us who Red John is you have to show us who RJ is       you just can't have some retard sheriff from one random episode just show up do a bad impression of the voice and claim to be a real psychic     Jane has always been one step ahead of the audience

There's no way Stiles and Haffner just die off screen and are never mentioned agian.  They have to show what happened at Jane's house when the camera cuts away before the explosion    that's where the Jane/Mentalist twist is             McAllister is not Red John just another Timothy Carter  and Timothy Carter was a more convincing Red John than McAllister   there has to be more proof than a one time character just showing up and saying they are RJ     this New Beginning is just a huge misdirection     what's the logic?  it's not like RJ dominated the show  one or two RJ episodes and the finale       how is the RJ story ruining the show       without the RJ storyline The Mentalist is just another murder procedural          jane's life after RJ's death is a DVD bonus featurette or a bunch of mini webisodes    not the last season and a half (if there is a season 7)    untill the end of the season I still believe Red John is still alive     the list and the explosion is just RJ playing with Jane         why let him live after the explosion if you are just gonna kill him the next day   RJ is just toying with Jane

I think Heller has something awesome planned for the last third of the season.  I think something more happened in Jane's house when the camera cut away.  The fact that they don't show what happened is a huge clue that we haven't seen the whole story yet. There is some kind of Mentalist twist yet to be played.  because nothing since the explosion has made sense or even felt like The Mentalist                   the only one in the show that has even come close to Red John is Patrick Jane       Patrick Jane has been there since the first episode(Jane going to sleep under the RJ smiley face)          Jane has had a fucked up childhood(we haven't even seen all the trauma)            Jane has had a mental breakdown(multiple personality??)                  Jane has a sleeping disorder          RJ is supposed to be Jane's equal but evil   Jane is playing a game with himself         He's already killed two "Red Johns"     not only has he killed two men in cold blood he has gotten away with it        Jane killed his family and to deal with it he has created a group of serial killers all of them playing Red John giving himself something to do    Killing          that's how Red John knew his list      that's why RJ is always one step ahead of Jane.. impossible to catch

If McAllister can fake his death than so can Partridge,Stiles or Haffner.    The timing of the Red John death this early in the season doesn't make any sense      I know that we haven't seen the last of Red John             Abbott, Fisher, and Whyle could all be Red John accomplices

I think Red John is a cult of serial killers and all of the members are Red John. Timothy Carter was a Red John and McAllister was also a Red John. That's why when Carter and McAllister both say they were Red John Jane(the human lie detector) believes them    because they both believed they were each Red John     I think that maybe McAllister was the Red John who killed Jane's family but he was ordered to do it by the real Red John that's why he blinked that he was sorry for killing his family

Red John is a group of serial killers headed by Patrick Jane.  They are all playing the role of Red John all of them are made to play a "game" with Jane.  Jane the leader of Red John ends this sick game he's playing with himself by killing each "Red John" and getting away with it    that's why Timothy Carter was so surprised when Jane shot him    and McAllister pissed himself and begged for his life   and after Carter is killed Jane smiles and sits back down and after Jane chokes McAllister to death with his bare hands he goes on a two year vacation in paradise     everything comes in threes and McAllister was the second RJ fake reveal / death  and the third and final one will somehow expose Jane as the mastermind of "Red John"                   I called it when I first heard Red John's voice that it was Simon Baker's voice just whispered  the RJ voice McAllister did was not Baker's voice      every time we hear Red John's voice it's Jane's    talking to himself   playing a game with himself       Luthor Wainwright called Jane a sociopath and he was kidnapped and set up to be killed   why Wainwright ? cause he insulted Jane      what about Bosco? he stole the RJ case from Jane and was mean to him and shut him out    why would RJ go from killing Jane's family to teach him a lesson to helping Jane out by killing Bosco's team so Jane can have the case back?  then he wants Jane to join him and promises him a new better life... a new beginning   sends a hot chick to fuck him and then she helps him out...  . . .   Jane's behind everything   Red John has to be Jane's equal . . .the symmetry     the only person in the show's history who has shown Jane's level of skill and power is Patrick Jane          the only person who could lure out and hypnotize Kristina Frye     He has a sleeping disorder       he had a mental breakdown     how creepy would it be to see Jane painting the RJ smiley face with his wife's blood in a flashback?     JANE IS RED JOHN        The Rigsby's are going to die       the season is in three parts  the first is Red John: The Final Chapter     the second is A New Beginning   and the third will be The Return of Red John

I believed McAllister when he said he wasn't Red John.  I didn't buy his Red John reveal.  Timothy Carter was a more convincing RJ than McAllister.  The show has to convince the audience that the character is RJ and McAllister didn't convince me at all. you can't just have some character appear out of nowhere and just say they are Red John they have to prove it                 I have not heard one person say they were happy or satisfied about the RJ reveal   the show hasn't even done a good job of making a new begining or given us a storyline that replaces the RJ story   If Timothy Carter wasn't RJ and did such a good job of playing RJ than I believe McAllister was doing the same    if Red John could hypnotize Christene Frye into a catatonic state than he could hypnotize Carter and McAllister to believe they are Red John   Jane killed them both caues he believed they were RJ     he believed them because they were hypnotized to believe they were RJ                                                            how does Bertram not know who RJ is but knows about the "silly voice" ?
