I have a feeling that RED JOHN is a women.
The clue states that " Red John is most likely a man". Then why can't it be a lady.

Forgot to add, has anyone got any idea about the coded file Van Pelt found on the flash drive? I assume maybe Jane has decoded it, possibly why he was at the church??? If anyone is any good at this sort of thing, PLEASE let us in on it..................!!!

Ive really enjoyed reading many theories here during this season, and like a few others, I felt like I had to make a comment before next weeks episode.

I am sooooo looking forward to a great episode, and I am SURE, POSITIVE, DEFINITE, that Red John, is a person that no-one has suspected. I dont mean a random, unseen character, but rather a fantastic peice of writing from the team.

Surely someone from Lisbons team has to be dirty, Tyger Tyger, Red John accompice or otherwise.

I noticed the scene from the promo for 6x08 in the church, looks like it happens first in the episode, an extention of 6x07. Jane pulls out his gun from under a pew (the gun has gaffa tape on it like its been taped to something), Red John escapes - injured, and the chase is on, again!

Every one in that room was wearing Sock. How come that feet was naked? :D

Jane helped stiles fake his death.

Michael Kirkland is the only one with the correct age and physical attributes and from Carson Springs.  Bob Kirkland asked each of the people that he killed if they recognized him indicating that he believed that his brother Michael was alive at minimum.  If this story, cleans up its loose ends then Kirkland has to come back into the story.

Alternately,  Red John is a collection of people in the sense that these people have been proven to specifically have done deeds for Red John.  With a large group of contributors,  Red John is in a bigger sense the Blake Association.

Patrick Jane is a Red John on several episodes in that he chooses people to be murdered by Red John.  This makes him at least a temporary "Red John"

Last note is that the Patrick Jane character was smiling when he said he was letting it go, referring to Red John.

Ew, who's FOOT was that?   

1) And who was shot?  And WHO did the shooting?  And who planted the bomb?

2) How many people are actually really dead?  One foot only confirms one body.

3)  How did some of them get blown to bits and the rest stay completely in tact?  Seemed unrealistic to me that Patrick, Smith and Bertram didn't lose even a finger.  Bertram stood right next to Haffner and McAllister who were killed but he walked away without a scratch?  I don't get it.  

4)  Bertram is a top Tyger Tyger guy -- maybe even THEE guy at the top -- but WHOA...I did NOT see his level of violence coming.  When he killed the bartender, it was brutal.  Very few moments have ever made me wince, but that was one of the them.  Rough.

5)  BUT Don't think Bertram is RJ [and not sure everyone is really dead].

6) Still too many unanswered questions.  Wish there could a few more characters from the past, like Frye and Harker, to explain more.  

7) Partridge had the tattoo but it was ripped off his arm?

8) Not entirely liking the progression of this much.  Anyone feeling the same?
