Could it be that Red John is Hiding behind McAllister again as did with Carter?

I dont think bruno heller is so stupid to make this as real Red John thing..

Before you skip past this please, hear me out. I know Red John has supposedly been revealed as the sheriff, Thomas McAllister but I believe that he is not the real Red John. I will explain why, but first let me talk about the episode itself.   The episode is certainly not of the standards of the genius Bruno Heller, and the whole thing just felt way too rushed. Heller has always tricked and surprised us, but McAllister turning up as well as Bertram really wasn't surprising at all, after all we saw McAllister in the promo! And who really thought that Patrick would tell the world Red John's identity anyway, so that ruled out Bertram right there. What Patrick did wasn't a great trick or a beautiful work of his mind like we all expected and hoped for, and Patrick and RJ barely talked anyway and no questions were answered. The whole episode felt like a big joke from Heller, kind of like a test to see who would buy that McAllister is really Red John. But anyway now I will get on with the actual theory and thanks for sticking around so far.   I think that the reason Patrick was so brief with McAllister was because Patrick knows that McAllister isn't Red John, and that the real Red John would be watching and laughing the big chase through the neighbourhood - thinking he had Patrick fooled. I think that the real Red John thinks that he is playing Patrick, and Patrick is actually playing him. When I found out that Bret Stiles was truly dying I suspected him as before, as Red John, I thought the fact that he was dying mirrored the ending of the Red John storyline. And when he died in the explosion, just like that, with such a brief explanation I thought that it couldn't be right. The majority of you are probably thinking how Stiles could kill all the people at such an old age, and I answer your thoughts with this - he doesn't kill them. I think that Stiles is the brains of Red John, the man who pulls the strings. I will get on to who the muscle or puppet aspect of Red John is in just a second.    As soon as the list of seven was revealed, straight away the only person from that list that I could imagine being Red John and actually being smarter than Jane was Stiles. At this point in The Mentalist there are still a lot of loose ends that need to be wrapped up and explained, I think we as the long term viewers really deserve it. Some of these loose ends are the "He is Mar" thing, which I for one cannot explain (please leave a comment if you have any idea), but I think I can explain however the Kirkland twin situation, and Kristina Frye. I think Stiles is the only one from the list capable of brainwashing the likes of Kristina Frye, and that explains how he knew where she was - if Stiles actually is Red John and brainwashed her. As for Michael Kirkland, I think he is the muscle of Red John. We all know that Red John gains his followers or disciples when they are at a weak point in their lives, and where do people go when they feel so weak and helpless, maybe after a loss? A place like Visualise that boast that they can help you see the world in a different way. I think Michael found Visualise in their early days, and that Stiles intended to brainwash and control Michael and probably did, but used him to satisfy his need for killing. After watching the eighth episode, I thought that Red John couldn't just go down like that and with no connection to visualise.    Now onto how Patrick is playing Red John. I have watched the promo for episode 9 and Patrick seems to go on holiday, or go on vacation. Remember how Patrick faked a breakdown and even we believed it until he actually told Lisbon it was all just a trick? I think this is similar, in how Patrick will escape from it all pretending he has forgotten his old life, in the knowledge that RJ will contact him or kill again. I think Patrick will do some greater trick, something classic Patrick Jane that would really credit his character and end up finding Red John. I think that Patrick will find and kill Michael Kirkland, and maybe see Stiles and talk, discuss, and explain things a bit intending to kill Stiles. I think Stiles will escape somehow though, and it will take Patrick a few days to finally track down Stiles again - The True Mastermind. I think Patrick will find out Stiles is staying in his mansion, and Patrick will enter the mansion and be greeted by a maid. The maid will then inform Patrick that Stiles passed away of natural causes just that day, and Patrick will have to accept that he never actually killed the mind of Red John. In my opinion that would be the perfect ending to a perfect show, but tell me what you think. Hit Green if you agree with me or found my Theory interesting. Thanks for reading, and please leave a comment giving me your thoughts and opinions.

All those people who are mad at BH, just shut up. You guys are being plain dumb. Did anyone happen to listen the gunshot at Patrick's house before the blast? And does anyone remember that it was Jane who had the gun?

Folks, there is larger ploy here, a bigger scheme. It is all a trap set out by Jane to catch the real Red John, who is still at large. And by the end of this season, he will be revealed. Come on, one has to be truly and absolutely dumb to believe that BH can reveal red john in such an ordinary fashion without explaining all the important questions about him. It's just not his character. Just watch the season and you will see things unfold in unexpected ways and Red John coming back with new Red Smiley and a whole new story but one that will take inalienable bearing from the story we so far know. So, be anything you want but don't be stupid. Otherwise, I might start believing when Einstein said: " only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I am skeptical about the first."

TV Guide Magazine: Were the other potential Red Johns jealous when you won the prize?
Berkeley: One day on the set Malcolm McDowell [Bret Stiles] said to me, "Mate, you're Red John! Do you know what that means? Do you realize how much money you're going to make on this?" I'm, like, "Huh? What do you mean?" He said, "At the conventions! Don't tell me you don't go to the conventions! Listen to me, mate. Get that girl over there with the camera and tell her to take loads of photos with you and that guy over there" — he points to Simon Baker — "and you go to those conventions with stacks of those photos and people will line up with their money and they will pay you to sign them! It's true! You go, 'Next! Thank you very much! Next! Thank you very much!' It's huge!"

I am not convinced about the ending.
It does not give any answer to anything.
This is a disaster and I think Bruno heller should never do anything in his life that has to do with movies or series..This guy  is crazy.

1- Bret Stile has truly Psychic Abilities and can know about the list. (Thats the only possibility)
2- Bret Stiles is the only one who can influence people and make them go suicide for him, as throughout the history religion, after life mystery is the most convincing reason that people will go to wild extremes.
3- Bret Stiles gives satisfactions for people who follow him.
4- Bret Stiles done murders before as FBI was investigating him
5- Bret stiles has the most powerful connections with Law-Judges-FBI-Police.
6- Bret Stiles is the only one who can hypnotize Christina Fyre.
7- Bret Stiles was holding a holy Cup of blood and drew a face on a girl in the meeting.
8- Bret Stiles can cover the gaps of un-answered riddles in the Show as to what Boscow said..ect..
What was the mistake that Red John did.
9- The 3 dots can mean they are close followers of the Leader which is Bret Stiles and they do anything for him.

Disaster of the show.

No one can know about the list unless he was Psychic...thats the truth.
Why they put clues on the show that they didn't get anywhere? Like Rosalinda's Description?
He is Ma  (There is confusion between r and C)
The List of seven people? Ah so McAllister suddenly became Psychic? Oh come on.

Guys any hints that Red John is not on the list? And he is actually not yet killed? And the sheriff is not red john but he died for Red John? As happened with Timothy Carter
