LATEST THEORIES

Well, here I am, again waiting for a "Mentalist" episode, I'd sniffed ol' terokal glue like crazy, there's no hope unless there's an open finale. It's gonna be crime of the week and Abbot's secret crime arc as a background from here till "Lazarus". "Jisbon" is not working at all, that computer nerd is a wrong pathetic character and repeating that cheesy "love story" between partners is bad taste. Hope that "Wylie" or whatever his name is will be murdered, along with Vega and Cho who are all wasted fillers. Jane and Lisbon will be forced to leave, to run and hide while the real monster (not that surrogate Pink Joan) starts the final hunt.
None of this is gonna happen of course. I'm not Bruno fuckin' Heller or his shite team.

Brett Styles episodes usually have the word "HIS" in them.
I never knew why but maybe we will find out in two weeks.
We all know Styles said he would return, and i still contend a character of his stature would not die off camera.

"HIS Red Right Hand"
"The Blood on HIS Hands
"HIS Thoughts Were Red Thoughts"
And in two weeks...
"The Whites of HIS Eyes"

Fingers crossed..

I have been reading that there will be this new serial killer the finale will focus on, named Lazarus, right?
In this case, the writers are doing a good job keeping my hopes up, as St. Lazarus was the subject of a miracle of Jesus who restored him to life. The Lazarus Syndrome was even mentioned once in the Mentalist (season 2 episode 17) by...Rigsby.

My obsessed brain wants to see in Lazarus nothing more than a Red John restored to life for our greatest pleasure.

So the next episode is "little yellow house".
If anyone remembers that is what Jane said
Red John lived in on national television right before his family was killed.
Should be interesting...

Also the episode after that is "the white of HIS eyes".
I believe most of Brett Styles episodes had the word "HIS" in them.
The blood on HIS hands...i forget the rest...
There really hasn't been a big storyline on the show yet this season.
I am assuming Lazarus will be returning from the grave soon.

Theory #18622 • By LordLeoric
Show this theory

  Guys, let me start this gently... I know most of you are feeling let down, or tricked by Bruno Heller and his screenwriters, but let me share my theory, or at least what I think the show has been trying to build up right from the start. Red John is and always will be a mask, no matter of the man behind that mask. Red John doesn't die with McAllister! RJ is an idea, it's a belief, it's that thing you follow on instinct not on facts. For all we know the sheriff might not even be the person behind that mask, and even if he was, the next one will take his place right away. All those things have been left for the viewers to get, ....to comprehend. And many of you in your hate just missed up on all those little things we got hunched. It is as if everyone expected a superman behind that mask ... an immortal man, not afraid of anything. Well.. here the writers hit the main idea, RJ can be afraid, can be desperate, once his mask is peeled off, once he isn't RJ anymore. This proves my theory in some ways.
  Just think about it, this is all I'm asking. In some ways, this is a brilliant end of the RJ saga, an open end which just makes you think, which has been the whole idea of the show.
  Just a mask...

I can't believe Red john's story will end with such a loser sheriff.. I mean Heller had so many freakin' choices to make red john(Harker,Rigsby,Jane Himself, even Bertram would have been better RJ than mcallister).. I always found it strange that there are so many red haired woman in this show: van pelt, shettrick, darcy, harker, frye.. That was just a freaking accident?, don't you fking kidding me, Heller! If this show end with jisbon shits i'am gonna be the saddest man in the world.

Hey, hey :-)

Believe it or not.... i think Patrick Jane is the Mastermind behind Red John!!!
He was it from the beginning on and now all given clues will lead us to him at the end!

Bruno Heller and Team didn't know how long they will do the series and so they created a
lot of interesting personalitys who could be Red John. If the series had to end at Season 3,
Timothy Carter would have been Red John! If the series had to end with Season 5 we would have seen Bret Stiles, Brett Partridge or somebody else as Red John, i don't know!

Then they knew, that they could bring the series to their fitting end, so a "Red John - Mc Allister" reveal during season 6 and an encore-season 7.

A really good theory is "Theory #18609 • By Theresa90"
Well done, I can't say it better!!!

A lot of People asked about the clue "HE IS MAR"
Well, look at this! :-)

Maybe i'm totally wrong, we will see!!!

Have a nice Weekend!!! ;-)
