THE THEORIES

A few things to throw out there..

1. When you go to whoisredjohn.com it says 502 Bad Gateway or 504 Gateway Time-Out
2. Red John is "Bad"
3. Gateway backwards is "ya we tag"
4.  Ya "we" meaning him and his alias are "tag" Tagliaferro?
5. 504-502=2 so there might be 2 people not on the list coming in next episode and one of them is Red John...
6. "Time-Out" Obviously Red John (aka:Gateway) time has run out.

IDK but it looks like we are getting close.

This is how I wanted the show to end...

Red john caught Lisbon, and take her to janes house, there he calls jane and el him to come to his house if he wants to save her, jane enters the house and walking to the room where he found his wife and daughter, he fins a note on the closed door like before, he opens the door and see lisbon lying on the bed and a red john symbol on the wall above her,he takes out the gun he always kept at case hell get red john..
he goes near lisbon and check her pulse..
behind him we see a shadow coming behind the door with a gun pointing towards jane, then we hear.. 
"hello son"... jane turns around with the gun pointing to the shadow.. with eyes wide open he says "dad??"..  the screens goes black and then we hear a gun shot...

Please comment your possible answers:

Looking back now, something REALLY doesn't make sense . . . Why would Jane have created a fake list?

If Red John successfully guessed his REAL list (in the Lorelai video) why would it be necessary for a fake list? WHO is Jane trying to fool? Not Red John, coz he knows the real list, and Jane knows it.

Is it possible that the "fake list" in episode 6.4 is actually the REAL list? Could it be that the Lorelai list is NOT the same list that Jane came up with, he only played along for Lisbon?

Does anyone remember everyone on the "fake list?" Besides the guy who was murdered, the guy who was tortured, and the guy that Rigsby tackled into the pool?

And why was "Bob" Kirkland so adamant about having Jane's "REAL" list?

And, more importantly, why was Jane so stubborn to not reveal names from his "real" list? Why was it important for him, then knowing that Bob was not Red John, to not let Kirkland in on the names of the list?

Is the fake list from 6.4 the REAL list? And everyone on the original list just Tyger, Tyger and Visualize folk?

I won't accuse anybody in my post to be RJ anymore. I'll just wait for the big episod in 5 days from now.

I've watched the last episode 3 times and I've noticed that when he entered the church and put himself on his knees, PJ face does not express sadness or reflexion or disappointment. He seems to be anxious, like when somebody is expecting something but without knowing exactly what would happens.
I think RJ asked PJ to meet him in the churchand so PJ came and is waiting for his nemesis.
I still not understand why we had this rapid plan on PJ leg in the church ...

Other reasons why we can be sure that Brett Partridge faked his death and is also Red John:

1. Remember, outside the elevator, Haffer told Jane that there was "a comeuppance headed your way"? Now why we he tell Jane that unless he KNEW that Brett was still alive and would come back as RJ?

2. The fact that he was the first on the list of 7 to "die" and thus be eliminated. This was what Heller wanted all along to throw us off.

3. Because Bret Styles told Patrick Jane in a previous season, "I know more than you or Red John." Now why would he say this unless Partridge was, in fact, his son, and therefore, naturally, also Red John?

4. In real life the actor who plays BP is about 45 years old.

5. Robin Tunney said she was shocked by RJ's identity. Now why would she say that if RJ isn't Partridge?

6. Remember when arriving at the house in episode 6.2, Bertram told the on scene investigator that he only knew BP "slightly?" Now why would he say that if Partridge wasn't Red John?

7. They never told us whose house it was that BP and Lisbon were found in. Why would BP just go to some random house, unless he went there to fake his own death!

Brett Partidge is Red John people. See how EVERY clue in the show points to him, and only him?

Danny Ruskin.

- Jane's wife, would have been murdered by the Blake association. To extract revenge, Danny kills the members of Blake association or people who helped them one by one… all along he leaves a clue - the smiley in blood, of Jane. This could mean something to both Danny and Jane (viewers might not yet know)

So Red John is someone who is avenging for the same reason as Jane wants to… all along he destroys Jane's old memories - cause he was angry that he took away his sister from him… but at the same time he couldn't bring himself to kill Jane cause he was family.

Hi guys,

The voice on promo could be a variation (not a synth) of two suspects:

McAlister (Xander's profile on internet confirm: the actor has done some work with his voice on the carreer) or Partridge (not confirmed like Xander, but the tone is almost the same).

My first theory was on Partridge... But i don't know anymore. 

It's 50% / 50%. 

Forget about Berthram. He's just a distraction, like kirklands brothers and Smith.
Also forget about Haffner and Styles: they're dead, the DNA confirmed.
