Although Harker Rosalind said Roy had straight hair, she left out balding.  It sounded like Red John had a full head of hair.  Vint Molinari has a full head of hair, and he looks six feet tall w/medium build.  I start to doubt her testimony.  I saw evidence that Red John was drinking from the same tea cup that Jane used, while visiting Harker Rosalind.  Harker remained friends with Red John - which leads us nowhere.
     (Dr. Linus Wagner) Truly, if he wanted to get caught as red john he would put the smiley face in the right spot. If he was red john and was doing a killing maybe he thought he would get caught, so he fakes the red john killing - changing his MO. In that same respect, if he got tried for being red john and he wasn't found guilty, he could be exonerated for the murders of Red John; hence, he couldn't be tried as Red John.  The courts would have "slapped" him with all the cases at once.  They could disprove that Red John would kill that way, and leave mark that way.  A copycat Red John killing could happen, while he was in prison.  He could leave the prison, because he is friends with police.  Someone would secretly get him out.  He could then commit a Red John killing.  If he gets off the charges of being Red John, Jane could not kill him as Red John.  Jane would go to prison.  Dr. Linus wagner has Harker to testify that Linus Wagner isnt Roy Taggliaferro, and he is legally not Red John.  Jane wont have leverage with the police, when he kills the real red john.
I avoided Dr. Linus Wagner as Red John, but what do we know about Red John? I know I'm right, and you may disagree - McAllister was Red John. A conspiracy that could last another six seasons is closing the book on the Blake Association. Red John could have been hired by the Blake Association to kill Jane's family. He could be a patsy, someone to take the blame for the obvious mistakes they have made. Blake Association could be the creation of someone other than Sheriff McAllister, since he is just a patsy. Linus Wagner knew about red John (read about red john), yet he couldn't portray him correctly. That scene could have been orchestrated by Red John to see how good Jane really is, to see if he could spot the difference between truth & fiction - not good or evil. Its subtext seems to make a story arc for an antagonist (or anit-hero).

Nothing about this New Beginning feels right All the characters seem to be the opposite of what they were Cho is Mr. Personality Lisbon is a moron Rigsby is not a goof How is this a new beginning? Jane grows a goatee and stops wearing a vest but still wears his wedding ring these new eps will show us what life is like for Jane once he gets his revenge and the show gets a bit if a face lift and the fuckin dummies who were sick of RJ get to see something new from Jane & Co. But this is all set up for RJ's return This show just seems so dumb and straightforward now. Sorry guys in that bar Lisbon only fucks billionaires. Jisbon??? Who the fuck wants that ? Just thinkin about this shit is giving me a headache

Hmmm.

“He will face ramifications from killing Red John,” says Bruno Heller, who created the show, “and that impacts his ability to remain in law enforcement.”

In the larger picture, though, Heller says the show feels a sense of
liberation. Killing Red John “removes the darkness that was always
around the edge,” he says.

So a show that has always had a strong undercurrent of humor now may have more.

“We won’t dwell on Red John,” says Baker. “Jane will focus more on
questions like, ‘What do I have to live for? What do I do now?’ ”

Some fans have speculated that “The Mentalist” may end after this
season, so perhaps Heller and Baker wanted to finish the Red John arc
and give themselves half a season for an epilogue that obviously
interests them.

Heller doesn’t frame it like that.

“The way to truly surprise people,” he says, “is to do something before they think you’ll do it.”

Red John and the Blake society are gone and we need to move on. Long live this website! and http://redjohnisdead.wordpress.com/?p=115&preview=true

What the hell, Heller ?
I've always pictured him as someone like Dr. Hannibal. Played by Hopkins.
This should have been Red John:

I think that Linus is RJ; the episode teaser showed a bald guy with a semilier voice

SPOILER FROM NOW ON:

Bruno Heller, if I'm ever in your shoes I wish I had a friend to tell me how to make the shittiest Episode of the Mentalist ever. So go back to where you started and show me another, a better episode on Sunday night time!


If this is the real episode, I will never in my life watch the mentalist again. We didn't learn anything about Red John, all these years are wasted..... :((((

I repost it to try to explain me better because Red John is Linus Wagner.

He gets arrested in the pilot so it's the perfect alibi but if you can manipulate the whole police,
it's not important. He discredited himslef on purpose. Don't forget he's
supposed to be as smart as PJ. Now look at the pilot again and think
it's all on purpose. Just to let Jane thinks he ruled the game. But he
didn't Linus was ruling the game like the poor sad man he was supposed
to be. Sorry for my bad english i'm french. The game is over. The first
episode could be called the game has started.

He drove Jane exactly where he wanted.
