THE THEORIES

Okay,the scene from the past explained is Rebbecas murder(Smith arranged for someone to get in the cbi to kill her)-this also opens question why would Bertram if being Red John try to get someone from the outside in the cbi but that is not my point here...I have two questions and would like to hear Your opinion

1) Who was the person from the past we haven´t seen for a while apparently showing up in this episode(flashback of Bosco?-this just doesn´t fit the announcemenet)

2) Why did Red John kill Partridge,what is the meaning of his skin removed from the shoulder(obviously to hide the tattoo but why?)

Please comment.

Next Episode:
Patrick Jane finally comes face-to-face with Red John,
the serial killer he's tracked since the man murdered his wife and
daughter. For 10 years, Jane has doggedly hunted his nemesis in his
search for justice.

I honestly think that the next episode will have a big twist to end the Red John era in style.

Until now the promos meant nothing. It's just like all promos, it's made to get the viewers eager wanting to watch the next episode.

i am not convinced, well we know that RJ is a narcissist person and he certainty does not like anyone to get credit for his work..sooooooooo how about this:

1)the 5 suspects at PJ house, non of them were RJ because why would he blow him self up.

2)you see Bertram getting ready to travel and escape, hmmm not the personality of RJ.


SO my idea is: that PJ knew that Bertram is not RJ BUT he knows he is a tyger tyger, and Bertram is trying to kill him and stuff so that he doesn't get caught for his criminal acts.

4)so PJ does a press conference and says its bertram, knowing that RJ will NOT accept that, and it will force him out.



umm just a few ideas i had in mind.

Sooo, I just watched Episode 07 and I think Bertram is  definitely NOT
RJ. He is the "Great Red Dragon", the leader of the Blake-association.
He has the list of ALL members. But would'nt that be stupid to not take
the data with him when he was in this room getting some money and stuff?
Perhaps it's a secret message for other members? Why on earth would
anybody leave behind such important information WITH the proper key?
Doesn't he care anymore?

There might be some false information
about the "deaths" of Bret Stiles, Ray Haffner and Sheriff McAllister.
One of them could easily fake his death by using some DNA of himself
(like cutting off something of his body) and pretend to be died due to
the explosion. IF RJ is really one of the 3 person with the tattoo, that
would mean that Sheriff McAllister could have brought some kind of
explosive belt with him. That would also explain the death of Bret
Stiles and Ray Haffner who were sitting right next to him. So McAllister
could still be alive and a RJ suspect.

But there are still some questions that bug me:
-
Why did Bob Kirkland kill the RJ helper? (s05e18) He could have asked
him some important questions? Maybe he would tell him something, a
little hint or whatever (like lorelei martins). But why kill him almost
immediately after finding out that he obviously never met his twin
brother? In s06e04 he tells PJ that he thinks that his brother is dead
and that he was in contact with RJ. Did he find out throughout the
series or did he always knew? It seemed to me that he already knew it
from the beginning. So why alsways this questions? Can anyone explain?

-
In s06e07 PJ meets "Bob" Kirkland for the first time. Some people say
it's his twin brother Michael because this is the only time we see him
with a beard. Maybe he's still alive and working for RJ because he is
indepted to him after he "cured" him from his alcohol addiction.  I
don't know much about this theory but i wanted you to share your
thoughts about it^^

- Who is the spy within the CBI that always
gets the information right away and tells RJ/Tyger,Tyger? CBI Roy? The
old/new press officer?

- Why does Lisbon always seem creepy to
me? xD I always thought, and still think somehow that she has something
to do with all this RJ and/or Tyger,Tyger business.Maybe she's not
involved directly but some kind of "story" between her and
RJ/Tyger,Tyger that maybe she's not even aware of? I just have a strange
feeling about her. But perhaps she just cares soooo much for PJ and
thats what seems creepy to me lol^^

- The voice RJ used
throughout the entire series sounds a lot like Bob Kirklands (hint for
the whole twin and symmetry stuff?). Some people say it's just Simon
Bakers modified voice. I think we can't tell?

- How the hell did
RJ guess the list month before PJ? (granted that it's not a trap of PJ)
The only person we know of who entered that room would be Lisbon. That
does at least explain how he could know about the suspects (if she's a
helper) but that still doesn't show us how RJ could know it month before
him. Or maybe the CBI spy (CBI Roy?) broke in like Homeland Security did?

-
Why did Lisbon have a broken hand in s05e22/s06e01? Did the actress
hurt herself or was this part of the show? Does anyone know?

-
Some people say RJ was revealed in the promo of episode 08. I dont want
to watch it now lol. But I don't think they would be that stupid to
reveal him already in the promo. That's bullshit. Sooo, is it save to
watch it or not? I dont want to get spoiled >.<


I hope
we will see some flashbacks and stuff (after the RJ-finale) how PJ found
out about the true identity of RJ and how he set up traps to catch him.
There are still a lot of points that need to be answered

Damn, after watching the latest episode and the stupid tattoo thing, I am getting worry that finale of Mentalist would be that of LOST-----that bad.

The tattoo thing is a ruin of Red John character that developed from the beginning. And when this tattoo thing start? 10 years ago ?

And no one notice such conspicuous signature around ? I mean when several individuals carry this figure in the same organization, it do raise spotlight , right ?

Why did this stupid thing? And why no one noticed ?

The only answer be: Bruno Heller ruin the show purposedly, maybe he thought the Red John character has gone too far (too smart), he could not undone it......

Sorry  about my terrible English (I know someone don't want to see this phrase again) :)

Oh forgot to add that I hope they aren't trying to sneakily change Red Johns voice to a altered version because Red John has one really creepy voice and it better stay that way. That voice is the best part of him. If they have to Dub over or lip sync I want that voice untouched.
