Theories of sisie (7)

props to all on this site

some of the theories/ideas here are really well thought out and in some cases so intricate, they could be part of a Hercule Poirot plot penned by Agatha Christie

but here's the rub   (ala PJ)

The show on Sunday is what, 40-45 minutes long?  This ensures we will not have the time to

1.go through and explain to the viewer, Bret Styles' illegitimate child who was adopted by the American football coach, who had an adopted daughter who then joined law enforcement, whilst being groomed by her true, newly found father - or father figure, who so happened to be a murdering psychopath. etc etc etc etc
 
or 2, explain pigeons, the gormless CBI Ron, bringing back Walter Mashburn, 

 
or 3,  to build up a real back story, and I mean real one, for most any of the suspects.  The only ones who have any type of time invested in them, and mainly this season only, are:

Sheriff Mac  (1 episode in S1 and a good run in S6)

Reede   

Haffner - only a little really considering he has been there for several seasons - he has been brainwashed by Visualize? maybe, fancies Lisbon

Styles - oh yes, we know a lot about his story - he is a maybe- manipulator-power crazed-deluded-, but too obvious....it is going to be a shock and Styles ain't it, because it wouldn't be one

Kirkland - Dead and Bob was my first pick before he was shot to bits by Reede  (he was investigating RJ and Tygey Tyger himself)...an evil twin at this point would be a let down - unless it is a mainstream character we know already...even then a twin angle would suck

Bertram - obviously scared for his life...not him...PJ using him for diversion - and what do we know about him...hates losing at poker......He is very high up in Blake Association but don't know who RJ is.

Partridge....a ghoul yes and probably a Tyger Tyger follower (as per death scene)  but what is his motivation?  what do we know about him?  not a lot apart from getting owned by PJ every time he sees him...RJ's ego would not allow that.

But the back stories for these guys are still not enough

A question I ask you guys is this:

Do you think RJ (whoever he is) actually set up Blake Association?  Reede says something like, he then found out he had done work for a serial killer (the Rebecca death).-so maybe he believes RJ is the head of BA
Or is the BA just a bunch of corrupt officials, law enforcement individuals covering each others asses, whilst making money and power moves

maybe RJ found out about this group and was using them to his advantage, without revealing himself.
Remember Sheriff Mac (BA follower) said he hunts anything with a face....RJ hasn't got one...yet

If this theory is true then it makes sense that he himself is an official or in the CBI or FBI or DAs office
Someone with stroke to do things quickly.

I don't actually think Haffner, Styles or Sheriff Mac are toast either.  How did the other guys survive without hardly a scratch?

Nope...... PJ saves Sheriff Mac, Haffner and Styles and gets them out of there......remember the high speed car leaving as Lisbon arrived at PJ's house in Mailbu..that was Sheriff Mac helping PJ to release Bertram (the distraction) and Smith the drug addict press-ganged into joining BA and committing multiple felonies along the way.

so back to our 40-45 minute episode.
someone comes back
beloved character
someone in authority with the stroke to do things quickly

Ergo (I always wanted to write that here)

VIRGIL

just an idea, but would be a satisfactory and believable finale...no?

I've finally changed my mind - not Kirkland

It is Virgil

There since series 1.
Beloved character
right height
soft voice
stroke within CBI
Knows the systems and protocals(bugging offices/phones etc)


Importantly- time to do his dirty work and manipulate others from the comfort of his "self enforced" retirement
emotionally attached to Lisbon

I know Jane reached out to Virgil in S3 regarding JJ Laroche's suspect list.  Hmmmmmmm

woud be a shock

but for me

It is Virgil

ps..Lorelei never met him...just another proxy on RJ's behalf....maybe Haffner

this site has had me in tears of laughter the past few days

I haven't read so many "ergo's" hahahahaha
Van Pelt the sex addict
but my personal favorite has to be "Cho is in fact a pickle sandwich"

but seriously who do you think the returning
"forgotten" character is? Frye, Minelli, Mashburn?
or something right outta left field

sticking with Kirkland, but less happy about it
