It is not Mashburn. Be calm. The most likely are Bertram and Haffner. Simple. The story goes on.
My husband wants a Dexter/Mentalist crossover.
I do think that RJ's methods have changed.
Who is most likely to be smart enough to play mind games? Who would pretend to be lesser in order to rule silently? Who represents evil while PJ represents tormented good?

I also saw IMDB, which listed two men as red john. Well, Mashburn does have the charisma! I also noticed that Karl is a technical advisor for the show, which gives reason for his cameo: an employee of the show having fun, but nothing to do with the actual plot.

I'm watching the Paleyfest interview on Amazon. Heller says Red John is a person but also a concept. So it is either Bret Stiles or someone Bret Stiles trained. Van Pelt and Rigsby disappear because probably one of them gets killed.
Think Moriarty.

I wish I knew what "Carmen Lee" was about. Are any countries besides America airing the show? Will they be on time?

I DO believe that Heller had Red John picked from the beginning. Writers create an interresting story at the very seed of beginning with a connection between protagonist and antagonist that is not revealed until the sleuth uncovers the killer.
Where the PI eyes looked would indeed have been relevant in reality to discover height, but not in a scene where the door was open (a prop?) and there was probably no one on the other side. The actress could not have anticipated our obsessive ponderings. However, when she struggled with the assailant, she looked up. I wondered about the discrepancy. And Visualize did NOT hire her, Cho put words into her mouth and she agreed with anything to not be arrested and still protect the client.

ANYONE can disguise their voice! Acting 101. I agree that the voice is Simon Baker. Notice the heavy "f" sound on "phone" and Tereza" is because Simon Baker is not an American, not because Patrick Jane is Red John. This is fiction an whoever is needed can be cast in a role. Picture Bertram or Haffner going into a different mood. It's anyone EXCEPT Partridge!!!!!!!!!
