Why is Partridge a favorite suspect? Isn't he too young based on the first Red John killing on the Visualize farm?
Alright ladies and gentlemen i just saw season 6 episode 8 red john spoiler alert!!!!!!
Red john is michael kirkland yes i was as shocked as you were they do tell the story how patrick and michael shook hands at the carnival patrick and his father conned michaels father and mother which drove them to drinking michael met stiles and he took him into visualize and michael found out it was a cult more than a self help place so he asks stiles why not kill people and make money and do cover ups help each other out stiles of course says no he does not condone killing so michael told stiles i will make my own organization hence the blake association thats how stiles knows red joh aka michael. Michael goes onto tell patrick that if you remember what lorlie said to you i will start killing again and often until you catch me or i catch you, michael said you had your chance and the fbi taking over was the check mate you lost. The last thing he tells patrick is the reason why he did not like con men is because what happened to his parents he did not know jane was that con man until he killed his wife and daughter. Other questions are asked and answered i do not want to spoil that much but enjoy the episode it will leave you at the edge of your seat.
The episode Red Listed, Kirkland says to Smith "Tiger, Tiger." Smith doesn't respond but looks at him clueless. How would Smith know that Kirkland isn't in the BA too if it is so big and not everyone knows all who is in it?
Not a theory, just wanna share my thoughts:
Honestly after last episode and seeing ep. 8 promo I no longer have a clue who may turn out as Red John, and that kinda makes me sad because until now i was convinced it's going to be Partridge and after what had been shown to us in ep. 7 when Cho "examed" Brett's dead body it would just be too obvious for him to be Red John. Of course Brett a.k.a Red John fans (no offence, I'm among you guys:D) might say that we actually never saw his face, but unfortunately I'm now pretty sure he is really dead. Why? Ok let's start.
Bruno Heller did cheat all of us saying that in the end of first episode he left us a big clue. He really did but it is rather a clue that really became one after this episode when Jane was interrogating that police officer.
PJ: There's a password, too, something you say|as a greeting or a... Distress signal. "Tiger, tiger".
That actually turned out to be that clue. As we now found out the Blake Association is big enough that members don't know each other - they work in groups, and don't know how about you guys but imo, the Blake Association isn't proud of Red John being a member (Smith reacts in a way as he is unhappy because of it). Conclusion: Brett Partridge actually wanted to warn Lisbon and tell her to gtfo of that house but he knew if he just say that Red John is going to kill her so he used "tiger tiger" in hope she is a member, too. Unfortunately he didn't know Red John is a member and didn't expect that he would react.
Why do I think that was the clue?
Because after interview with Heller we all started to look for a possible clue. Some of us tried that stupid 666 theory, some of us hit "pigeons theory" but for me all of this turned out to be Red Herrings so we could spend our time thinking what did we miss.
What does it mean in recent events?
Brett Partridge - dead
Bob Kirkland - dead
Reede Smith - in jail (probably if he's going to survive)
Bret Stiles - no tatoo, simply too old to be RJ
Raymond Haffner - Jane doesn't care about him, he speaks free about RJ near him and he insults Ray, i think Jane wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke RJ again as he know how it end up first time.
Gale Bertram - on the run, just a ordinary member of Blake Association.
Thomas McAllister - it might be him (i think it's the guy running on the promo) but it would be a huuuuuge mistake to reveal RJ identity in just a Promo lol, who does that? We've been waiting for this moment few years....
Conclusion
1. Red John is not on the list and all that we witnessed from episode 5x22 is Jane's deception.
That actually would be a perfect solution because each episode is focused at another "suspect" and each week we all change our theories/thoughts about who might be Red John and we miss the most possible option.
If Red John is someone not from the list i think Walter Mashburn woul be just perfect.
2. Kill me but - Brett Partridge, but honestly im not going to point out why because we all know why.
Just a observation
Did you notice that guy moving Jane's couch, he gave him his coins but he had "FBI" at his suit so how on earth FBI guy would know Jane used to spent 90% of his time at that couch.
Red John must had been present in team Lisbon room and we must have seen that.
And that makes Walter Mashburn 1:0 Brett Partridge.
Cheers
...spoiler...
Jane has it all planed. In the promo you can see clearly that the gun is full of tape. Hidden by him under the bench church, probably at the end of the red dragon episode. In the promo, in the church is Bertram, with the ring on his hand and all the baldness. Maybe he shots Bertram to allure Red John(that's why he said that Bertram is Red John, that's why he shots him, not kill maybe, that's why Red John says he had won).
From the voice I do not know if it's McAllister or someone else. I haven't heard this voice during this show. Hope that Red John is someone worthy to be him, if you know what I mean.
Americ's review doesn't tell us anything especially since it's edited out the boring parts. Would be nice if he just told us if he was happy with it himself. But alas, he can't really ruin it for anyone otherwise they would be very maaaaad.
Anyway, I have had a breakthrough!!!!!! Which I have posted below.
I still don't have a clue who it is but they say acceptance is the first step. Just for everyone here are the 8 steps to Red John Anonymous. It's a terrible disease to over come and we all need to reach out to each other and help each other.
Aim of RJA. The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in Twelve NO SEVEN Steps describing the experience of the earliest members of the Society:
1.We admit that we are powerless over who Red John is- that our lives had become unmanageable with trying to guess.
2. We believe that a Power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity ( After we find out who Red John is) .We make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Heller as we understood Him NEVER.
3.We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of Red John Suspects, .Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another mentalist followers the exact nature of our wrong guesses.
We are entirely ready to have Heller remove all these defects of wrong character guesses.
We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings
4. We.Make a list of all persons Red John has harmed, and became willing to make resurrected psychopathic serial killers of them all. We Make direct amends to such accused people wherever possible... every two minutes, except when to do so would not agree with the list or increase their height or decrease the amount of hair they have.
5. We still continued to take character inventory and when we are wrong promptly admit before changing our minds yet again.
6. We sought through meditation and twitter to improve our conscious contact with Heller as we never understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for Red John and the power to carry that out his character effectively and satisfactory.
7.Having had a absolutely no spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to all Red John Anonymous members and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
