THE THEORIES

I had to get this out before the weekend because I just have to. It's not bitterness because honestly I've posted mostly theories that ride the fence where I can see writers leaving gaps for anything to happen BUT

I'll be most disappointed if its Partridge. Nothing against the character or guy but the let down for me is that the writers keep telling us that they want to play this one straight. They said that RJ is no dork and that he is a strong man. I've heard sneak peaks saying that RJ isn't an exciting guy, its how he got there that is cool. I've seen 1000 theories. But the "coming back from the dead, creepy forensics guy, etc, etc" has been so played out. Seriously, it's a lazy way to write a plot and it's a lame way to add "surprise" to a show. I also keep seeing that people want it to be Partridge. I know no one in my inner circle that wants that. 

So don't take it as an afront on your theory, your spoiler, the actor, the role, etc. I just think its a weak ending to a great story and one that has been played a million other times. I'd rather have no tricks and an a back story on Bertram or Hafner. 

I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed but still hope not.

Thereelmentalist, I ask you this one favour and anyone else that wants this favour done to do the same. CAN YOU PLEASE send me an e-mail letting me know whether red john is on the list of 7 or not, because i've had a hunch that red john isn't on the list and this sunday seems like it's taking forever to come. I've got this math assignment to do and online quizzes, just please send me an e-mail regarding whether red john is on the list of 7 or not, i'd greatly appreciate it!

My e-mail is wasimdark@hotmail.com   

Thank you :D

I think that Kira Tinsley's murder and Brett Partridge's missing arm skin ties in.

The real RJ doesn't have the tattoo. The whole dot tattoo clue was intentionally leaked by RJ to lead Patrick and the CBI to root out RJ's rivals, the Blake Society, for him. What Tinsley saw in the few moments before her death was actually Partridge's arm skin attached to RJ's body (eww). RJ was bringing the group to CBI's attention more directly, since past attempts failed.

Think about it. If RJ was really a member of the Blake group, why would he need to bug the CBI? He could just call Bertram and find out everything he needed to know.

By the way, when I say "rivals", I mean that RJ had been using, manipulating the Blake group. He was never a member, he was just using them, posing as one, but when they discovered it, he decided to get rid of them through the CBI. Maybe even the bugging was a trap, a clue that lead directly to Tinsley, to Tinsley's murder, to the red dot clue, to the Blake group. Red John has been manipulating the situation the whole way.

Sadly, this doesn't mean I know who Red John is. Haffner is the surveillance expert, but he's supposedly dead. It looks like McAllister in the promo for the next episode, but I doubt it's that easy. It might not even be as easy as this theory. I'm just throwing this out there.

The weird thing about all this is how now everything looks like a clue. We're all looking at everything, and I think Heller intended it. We're jumping at shadows. "THIS MUST MEAN THIS." So I have to admit that my own reasoning is flawed. I thought this whole idea up while drifting off to sleep, so I may noto have been thinking clearly.

Since I am media, I have already watched Episode 8, "Red John"

I am willing to reveal who Red John is, by a show of hands. The most plausible checks will win the reveal. The most unlikely checks will keep things secret until Sunday. It's up to all of you! Voting will end at 5PM. Have fun!
