Who is Red John?

Theories of RedJohnIsAShowMan (12)

Wonderful episode. Best of the season. (this season has been pretty cheesy so far, even last eppy was good but flawed and overrated) This eppy had me captivated the whole time. Yea, could've gone without the vega/wiley stuff but literally everything else was remarkable. And the end has a marvelous reveal. Now I truly appreciate something "minor" that happened in S06e07 "The Great Red Dragon". Looking forward to the last half of season 7. There have been many, highly, flawed epps since Red John's demise but there also have been some impressive ones indeed. And this episode highlights that. Well done, Simon Baker and the team. Truly Outstanding television indeed!

You ever wonder why they used Simon Baker to voice Red John in 6x01 and Xander Berekely in 6x08. You'd think that if he really was gonna be Red John, then why the FUCK would you not have him voice Red John in the season 6 premiere. If they did, I may have appreciated the reveal more. Cuz the 4x24 and 6x01 Red John voice ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

You see, here's a good analogy. I'm sure many of us here have an image or feel like they know to a certain extant about the personality of others on this website. If any of us were to ever run into another one of us, we may very well be surprised at how different we are. Using this same analogy, plug into a scenario of a much bigger and grander circumstance. Red John commits his crimes when it's just him and his victim. And most of the time, he is fully prepared and has the upper hand while his victim is at his or her most vulnerable situation. Red John was never in a situation where there was any threat to his life. That thought never crossed his head. Now that there was, it's very possible that he would beg for his life since he was facing certain death.

Maybe one could argue that in the end most serial killers are caught and not while they have the upper hand. Maybe Helper thought of season 6 of the mistakes and the demise of Red John. He was exceedingly clever and was in the upper hand right until he let his guard down to Jane. Maybe he was so certain and proud of himself and he wanted to the game to end so he thought it's time to end Jane. Bertram was already pronounced as Red John by Jane himself, as he said it would be a fitting end to the story if they were both found dead, together. I don't know. It's so conflicting. It seems like Heller thought of the BA, and bird acrophobia many years since the s how's commencement. One can clearly see a difference of opinion, a lack of continuity, and a sudden change of direction and ideas when it comes to gradual evolution of the Red John arc.

Up until this lazarus news, I was thinking Patrick Jane as Red John. Now, who knows what could happen. Yea, might be a cheesy season up until the last few eps. Maybe not Red John, but they're gonna end with a bang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     For old times sake, I think everybody (all 11,451 voters) should watch this last season. This show may have magnificently flopped last season, but it still gave us this Patrick Jane/Red John arc. That's enough for us to give it one last chance even if were 200% sure nothing dark will happen.
