delusions of grandeur..... jane talked about Red John having delusions of grandeur, but in fact I think it many of the people on this site. The ones who can't stomach that they picked a good red john, or were wrong that their boy Partridge turned out to be a snivling little foot soldier rather than the big baddie....
I have seen the episode.... and I expect it will be what airs on sunday.... I love that you think CBS has time and money to throw around on fake episodes. They are in the business of making money and not misleading the fans.....
On to the episode... I am actually one of the people that liked it..... red john does not need to be in a whole lot of episodes or always around to have his presence felt... in fact with the Blake association "he is always around in some form"
as for questions..... it answers a whole lot.....
- the bomb at jane's house
- sophie millers murder
- the bare foot in the house after the bombing
- "he is mar"
- the clue at end of 6.01 and why lisbon was spared...
- bruno saying he is "just a man"
- why partridge has to die first
- why his skin is missing when cho examines the body...
It also shows that Patrick knew all along who Red John was since the bombing....
As for not answering other questions like "how he got the list"..... the show moves two years into the future next episode.... I am sure in the next few episodes some will be adressed in conversation....I mean they have had 2 years to dissect his organization...
The reveal also shows how the Blake Association helps take care of everything....
and how it helped mask his identity. Reede Smith clarified that in the last episode "you get a phone call you do what they ask no questions asked"
Heller said people would be disappointed because "he is just a man"... well he is, and him calling 911 and begging for mercy is a prime example of that . Red John is just like most killers - a coward. I mean he even build an association of crooked cops to ensure he wouldn't get caught! What is more cowardly than that.
I wont reveal who it is... but the fact that people were expecting some over the top epic showdown, and that it is not who everyone wanted as RJ may play a part in people being disappointed....
Since day one when the list was revealed I
was in the Bertram camp..... but after viewing this weeks episode, I have to
admit i might be changing my vote. I mean it still could be bertram and I
would be happy if it was, but it all seems to obvious to be him. The way
things are playing out I think he is a top guy in TT but not red john.
Red John is indeed McAllister, for a few reasons.
- he has been there since the beginning which would make sense.
- faking his death and killing jane would be the ultimate victory
- red john brought the bomb into the house on his person, probably
in his Sheriffs hat... that is why stiles and haffner were killed... they
were closest to it. It would easy to bring in a body and fake DNA records for a
guy like red john.
- Jane calls out Bertram in the media because he really thinks he is red john,
or more likely, he gets the CBI shut down and the FBI chasing a red herring so
he can take out red john one on one.
- watch the promo, the guy going through the window, they guy jane chases
through the cemetery, the guy walking down the church aisle, the comparision of
hands photo.. all point to McAllister
- Jane is in the church waiting for Red john... the look on his face
is because he knows the end is coming and what he has to do.
from what we know through interviews and the promo.... next weeks episode could play out like this.... it
starts in the church, follows him through the graveyeard and eventually meets
up in a park where the end will occur... and if it isn't Bertram somewhere in
between all this he meets up with Jane and their story is concluded.....
anyway just some thoughts.... more importantly I hope we get answers to the
many questions that been created through the years....
OMG.... Enough with the Brett Partridge theories people..... He is dead, Heller has said he is dead... the actor has said he is dead, they said on the show he is dead. He never was or will never be red john. You are just all pissed that who you thought was red john can not be.....
That is the whole reason Heller killed him first.... to build the mystery around the final six (now three I guess) .....if there is goign to be a twist.... it will be revealed Red John is one of the other two... but Partridge (and Kirkland for that matter) are dead...
Move on and pick another suspect!
