THE THEORIES

He ho ha he he ha ho ho ho ha he ha ha ha, (What does the joker say ?)

McAllister is RJ.
Storyline are not always what the producers expected it to be.
Money, boss, ... It would not be the first TV show to be fucked up cuz of various things.
BH didnt even know who could be RJ at the beginning. Its a the best way to badly end a TV show.
I think they are trying to make it new. If ppl likes the new Janes the tv show will continue, If not, maybe we will have a new RJ or the show will end like crap.

How can Rigsby be RJ when in the season 4 finale he is hand cuffed and under arrest with the rest of the team at the time RJ is talking to Jane in the back of the car ?

In the season 1 finale, Rigsby is in the car with Cho when RJ is at the farm with Jane and the Sheriff.

The Red John storyline was brought up in the pilot.  Every season finale of the first 5 seasons had Red John as part of the plot for that episode.  Until 6X09, every single episode had red or a shade of red in the title.  All the seasons have gone over 20 episodes.  Why did the Red John saga end 8 episodes into a season?  I made a list of possible reasons why they did this.  Some are based on the idea RJ is dead, and some are based on the idea that RJ is alive (and most likely not mcallister).

Red John is dead arguments
1) CBS wanted the RJ storyline to be over with and they wanted to try to get new fans with this new beginning thing.
2) Killing RJ was not the only climax they were planning on.  The other being Jane and Lisbon getting romantically involved.
3) They wanted to "explore" Jane's life after RJ.

Red John is alive arguments
4) The season 6 finale will be RJ related
5) RJ manipulated Patrick into becoming a serial killer as well
6) They wanted the fans to forget about RJ so they could bring him back
7) Jane is in a coma or we are watching someone's dream.

Tell me which ones you agree or disagree with.  Obviously, it could be combinations of these reasons or other ones I didn't think of.

I think that McAllister can't be Red John. There was a lot of birds in lastest season and there was 2 things that dont match:

McAllister said he hates "those things" - he meant bird that attacked him on church tower.

In episode when Lisbon drove to house where Partridge was, there was a room with group of birds inside.

I think that Red John is bird lover (whistling is way to comunicate with those animals), so McAllister was fake, which had to mislead PJ, but I bet it didnt work.

Yes @hbjbjhjbjhb or whatever your name is, Brody is dead, he was hanged in public. And you know what, I don't care that people here found out this way! On this website I got so much abuse in the past, people calling me horrible names that I would never use! I never ever use bad, humiliating words for other people, here it happens all the time.That's bullying so it's not me who did something wrong. 

And don't bother to comment, I won't read them, I didn't read them before either. If you guys talked to others with respect, people here would respect you more! I don't give a damn that I told you about Brody! Stoopkid & Co deserve it for ruining this website!

Good bye!

I am Red John, I am clever, I will show you clever by killing again often.
So If I am McAllister I just :

killed brett partridge.
made a joke while I shot a man in a rooftop.
barely killed a woman.

Yeah of course, you are the man Red John !! You are the greatest sucker of the universe.

So u was watching "the red barn" and at the end jane says he has 2164 people he's shaken hand with since his wife and daughter were killed 807 are women which he excluded and 949 were men that he had brief encounters with and never saw or heard from again so that leaves 408 names now jane only met mccalister once ? Wouldn't he have been excluded from his lost? Along with the other 948 people so why would Jane just suddenly think it's mccalister after he had already excluded him, I don't think Bruno planned any of this but sadly I think we all need to probably accept that the rj reveal was real even if it was stupid.
