We will hate Bruno for not dragging RJ plot to another 6 seasons... and then another 6, and then another....

I had forgotten that when Lorelei tried to broker RJ's offer of friendship, Jane's test was to bring to RJ Lisbon's head as a sign of friendship. That kind of stifles any notions that he left Lisbon alive in S06 E01 because he was fond of her. Yet, then he severed the head of Sophie.

I know there's a connection, just a little puzzled. Thoughts?

Micheal Kirkland is not RJ and did not shake hands with PJ.

If MK was the one that shook PJ hand, then the real BK would have introduced himself again when he met PJ for the first time.  But everytime they meet after the handshake they act like they already know eachother.

A Point observed:

When Bob Kirkland asks Jason Lennon "Do U recognize me?", I can see two possibilities.

1. He was expecting that the latter might recognize him. So, his brother Michael could be RJ or an accomplice who is very famous one that other RJ accomplices will be able to recognize him.

2. The person asking the question could be Mike instead of Bob. Also Mike could be the one who shook hand with Jane and says "No. But, I know U!!". If this is true, then Mike could be RJ or could be covering RJ. Hellers word about List still holds good if Mike/Bob is RJ.

Any other possibilities from this point??? Also if Red John is someone else what could be an explanation for this point of asking "Do U recognize me"?? Comments plz...

I dont mind anyone being Red John provided the reveal is real good and a wonderful explanation follows....

Love the Smile of Simon Baker :):)

Greeting everyone!

As much as I am addicted to this forum and as much as I like to play guessing/sorting out facts games I think that the show is written in such a manor that everyone of the 7 could be RJ. 

There is nothing to figure out, because it can be anyone from the 7 or someone who is not on the list.

I mean that if we exclude Reede, who everyone seems to hate as being RJ, there are clues that can point to anyone and that was the creators intention. My personal opinion is that once RJ is revealled, there will be some past clues/hints that don't match. Think about it. If you don't take your personal favorite in consideration, how much of a surprise will it be if RJ is someone else other than your original guess. 

I think they wrote the script so that everyone matches a good percent of RJ's profile and I am pretty sure that BH reads this forum and picked his favorite theory. 

Personally I think that no-one can outsmart the fans, or write a script to the perfection. I will be glad if I am wrong.

P.S I love this show and am hooked as anyone on RJ conclusion. I'm just saying...
