Hey people!
I'd like to put my finger on some misguided thoughts that some of the posters display here:
1- RJ's voice being very similar (and to some, the same as) to Partridge. Yes, we have all figured that out with our medium brains and Jane being (at least presented to be) "a master in details" have not. Wouldn't that be stupid? I mean, this show is based on PJ hunting down several murderers (and also red john) by figuring out such small/hidden details when the others keep staring like monkeys? If it wasn't the voice but a scent or parfume, maybe you can't accuse someone in particular because there might be many people out there to wear it. But voice? C'mon...
2- People accusing Bertram, Haffner, Smith, Mc Allister, etc. (the whole lis7) are blind enough to see that this show has never given us what's coming before it actually comes? I mean for some cases, I pointed right to the possible killer(s) but it was nothing than a hunch/instinct/wild guess. It was never a reasonable deduction/induction from my side. So, I do not believe that Red John can be identified so easily by the given hints (red herrings) about all those suspects. The key here is to keep us unsuspected about the one to be revealed soon. People may say that Heller said in an interview that the audience will be disappointed about the identity of Red John. Yes, correct... but if you read that interview thoroughly, you will see what he actually means. He says that when such a criminal is hidden from sight for the whole show, every single person creates a superior image of the villain in his/her mind and seeing him in flesh and bone finally, never meets your expectations because your imagination has put him in a higher ground already. This is why we'll be disappointed. Whoever RJ is, we will be disappointed. This is what he means. Of course, we will have some kind of closure in our minds but our super-villain will still look a little plain no matter how well the actor plays him.
For me, either RJ will turn out to be none of the LIS7, or there will be a HUGE twist on the identity of one of those guys. Otherwise, the whole show goes to trash. Tell me if I'm wrong... Thanks for reading!
