LATEST THEORIES

I'm down with the RJ=Rigsby idea. He did show many strange things about his personality in the show. It always stuck me weird that a big dude like that let so many people make fun of him. What did Rigsby mean when he threatened FBI O'laughlin? We assume Rigsby is trying to protect Grace, yet the threat is a little more... cryptic... than what one might expect. Just sayin.

Well, my thoughts are that Jane/jisbon has yet to decode the blake society list, and thus I am in favor of a Rigsby slasher ending to this lost television show. 
Anyone find it bizzare that Rigsby instantly knew where Jane buried his wife. The "Red John" S6 has Rigsby in the back of the truck stating clearly and without hesitation the exact name of the cemetary where Jane buried his wife. This is one strange thing among many strange things Rigsby does while in the back of the truck... calmly sitting the back of the truck. 
The only thing that makes me think that RZigsby is not RJ is the the blind lady says that RJ is under 6 foot tall. Rigsby is clearly over 6 feet. However, I do understand that RJ had many helpers. 
Oh Wait... Lorilie Martins also hits Rigsby over the head when she is going to kill her victim. Would Martins hit her beloved RJ over the head??? Methinks, not!
Aside from those two problems, Rigsby could easily be RJ.

Hmm…why do you think the final title is called "White Orchids?"

1) Jibson has to solve a crime in a greenhouse

2) Jibson stays at a hotel named The White Orchid Hotel

3) Jibson eats white orchid ice cream under a firework lit sky

4) it has absolutely no real significance whatsoever


With the way the episode titles have been in the last year, I vote for 4)



Who knows, maybe it'll be Lisbon's favorite flower!  or perfume scent!  [Oh that things we have to look forward to!]



THAT SAID….White Orchids symbolize hope and….[brace yourselves people]…virility…



Forget about a wedding -- this show might ending with…..a baby...



That's right people.  While this website dreams that Rigsby [or ANYONE else] could really be the "real" RJ [and believe me, I'm with you on that]….I'm sorry to say that the writers are probably writing the storyline for Lisbon's pregnancy RIGHT NOW...



1.  Grigsby will probably either be expecting again or now have two children, and/or


2.  Jisbon will likely be….[bleck]…expecting, too



Jane lost his wife and child…..so, now he's got the new love now…all he needs is the new child….and a baby is going to force Jibson to leave the FBI -- just like Grigsby did 


Sorry folks.  I don't like it either.  I hope I'm wrong

For those of you who claim that Mcallister was a fitting Red John, let me ask you two questions :
1) What proof was shown to us that he was indeed Red John?
2) Name one scenario out of the thousand loose ends that can justify MCA as Red John.

If we believe the premise of the show who else but Patrick Jane could pull off being Red John? Do we actually believe it is an inbred, small town, hick sheriff? I hope the writers of this show will have enough respect for the fans and not leave us with such a ridiculous answer to the driving force behind this show. I believe one of 2 possible theories:
1) We will find out that the hick sheriff was merely a distraction to allow Patrick (the real Red John) escape.
2) We will find that Jane has imagined the entire series as he lays confined to a padded cell, jail cell, or strapped to the table waiting for the lethal injection for the murders he has committed.

After I saw this guy from 7x05 i thought "He looks kinda like Haffner". Then it was said his name is Raymond. I lol'd.
Just a thought :) Too bad we won't see Haffner in this show anymore.

Yea, Yea... Kirkland was a good choice for RJ, and so is first CBI chief, Minelli (sp?), but I truly think that RJ is best suited for a split personality serial killer type dude like Rigsby. I personally think that it would be cool, very cool. 
I understand that McAlister was played by a good actor, an actor I consider one of my favs, but the sheriff just didn't work for me, and I think for a lot of other peeps. Most of us are even wondering if Gotham will be dropped on its ass in similar fashion, I mean... who hires the Fresh Prince's wife for a criminal anyways??? Seriously?
Also, Bertrand was a good choice, a bit to old school, but at least he would have made a good character because of the direct influence over CBI agents. AND, let us not forget the Head Cheese of Visualize. One cannot go wrong with Brett Stiles/Caligula as a serial killer. 
Soooo many possibilities, so many other viable options left out to the elements, and we are left with cowboy boot wearing, sheriff McAlister, WTF?
I just want to say, this new jack-booted FBI circle jerk is boring and depressing. Witches says that the last episode is named "white tulips", well I know where Heller can plant his white two lips. Im fucking depressed... Why not make Cho, the literary "chinaman", RJ, and send my over a cliff?
