THE THEORIES

BIGGEST SPOILER EVER. (Not who Red John is)






Someone who already saw the episode  says two people who are dead are coming back to life. One of them is Red John. That's a huge spoiler if we can believe him/her of course. If it is true then we can rule out Bertram who is now said to be Red John. But the question is who is coming back to life?

Is it:

Partridge?
McAllister?
Lorelei Martins?
Haffner?
Styles?
Kirkland? (Michael or Bob)

These two persons must be important so i don't think it is someone like Bosco or something. I would love to see Lorelei Martins coming back but i don't think it's the case.

Fill in for yourself who you think is coming back and leave a comment =)

I think the voice saying "the game's over and I won" doesn't belong to the church scene but to another scene. It could be misleading.

Bertram, McAllister and Shawn Barrlow - none of them is Red John. I know that someone almost bald is shown in promo, and it can be one of them (McAllister can be alive since he was standing next to Bertram and Reede and they weren't hurt, DNA tests can be fake), but they are not Red John. 

Rosalind said that RJ had straight hair, and three man mentioned above are bald with no ability to grow hair again. + Sophie said RJ is middle aged and at least McAllister, but in my opinion also Barlow do not fit this descriptions. 

Kirkland is dead and there are no doubts to it. 

Reede is apparently not RJ, we know for sure after The Red Dragon episode.

Stiles does not match the RJ profile at ALL and i never suspected him.

For a little while I thought Partridge can be RJ, because his voice was quite matching, and Cho didn't check face of the body at morgue in 6x07, but then i figured that:

- RJ is too smart not to modify his voice
- we heard his voice few seasons ago, so Jane would recognize his voice a long time ago
- Patridge looks too young to me
- he seems to be dead

After all that said I have no idea who RJ is. The only options left are:

- it's no one from the list (Yes, I know what Heller said but he can be messing with us)
- it's Micheal Kirkland but that seems soooo illogical and cheap and stupid ending, i would be VERY dissappointed with an ending like that

I can't wait for the big suprise on Sunday!!

Without the spoilers of the episode 8 promo, screenshots and other things. Forget all that. 

Could we identify Red John 100% by only watching the episodes like a regular Mentalist fan?
- We only know for sure that Gale Bertram and Reede Smith of the list are still alive.
- Patrick Jane still thinks Red John isn't caught, so Red John isn't likely dead.
- Someone from the FBI broke Patrick's favourite cup, that bastard. It was the most emotional moment. Dennis Abbot got the remaining plate.
- Patrick shook hands with Red John.
- They found an encrypted list. Probably a list corrupt persons just like HR of the Person of Interest.
- Brett Partridge told to Lisbon TygerTyger
- Reede Smith helped Red John to get FBI classified information
- Patrick walks to a church but why?
- Lorelei Martins told Patrick "I only wonder why the two of you didn't become life-long friends the moment you shook hands."

I wonder.. Lorelei's sister Miranda got killed by Red John. Miranda had a cabin in the woods.
Bob Kirkland's brother Michael allegedly got killed by Red John. Michael had a cabin in the woods.

I also wonder this Red John face on Lisbon, why is it different?

Regarding the famous "He is mar...".

I guess it meant "He is marked" referring to the tatoo.

Anyone agrees?:)

I didn't explain my reasoning previously, the reason for the tall and dark black woman is because she is the opposite of everything that people describe red john to be. It is only obvious that it would be the opposite of what is described to be red john.

my theory is not up for debate, it is correct.

now some might say that he's a man because of his voice, this is not the case, simply because she has a gidget that changes and alters the voicing.

if you go to season 3 episode 5 and stop on exactly 15:32 min then u will see the black women AKA red john in the background engaging in a suspicious conversation.

in conclusion, I am right.
