THE THEORIES

I guess it's just not updated, but in imdb it says ep7 and ep8 will air on 17 November. How cool would it be if we get to watch the 2 episodes everyone's been waiting for in one night :P C'mon CBS!

I've been thinking a lot. People keep forgetting about one very important person. Michael Kirkland (Bob's twin brother). 

We know that Michael Kirkland uses Bob Kirkland's ID (when he killed the guy in the hospital). And Bob Kirkland said that they both had a rough childhood, and someone "helped" Michael, taking him into some cult, etc. Bob thought that Red John was the one that took Michael but when I think of it, it could have been Brett Stiles. We know RJ was in visualize, so I'm guessing Brett Stiles took Michael, "visualized" him and Michael became Red John. They have all those blood rituals in Visualize. And makes sense because Bruno Heller keeps saying it's someone from the list. Michael is, in a way, in the list, being Bob's twin. The only three guys with voices similar to Red John are Brett Partridge, and he's dead, and the twin Kirklands, and one of them is dead. Makes perfect sense if it is Michael Kirkland, and it would still surprise everyone.

Do you guys agree? Think about it, makes a lot of sense.

There will no new episode airing tonight. Fire and Brimstone will air in the US, and also in Canada. This is to get back the alignment. US is the Mentalist's biggest market, CBS does not want the big reveal to be spoiled with Canada one episode ahead.

I would put 1million dollars on it being someone no one, not even Patrick, thought about.... and that would be MICHAEL KIRKLAND. Yes michael Kirkland, Bob kirkland's twin brother. makes perfect since. Bob never found his brothers body and Michael could have easily impersonated his brother and that's when Patrick shook his hand..... boooyaaaa!!!

While I don't usually give credence to cast lists, the fact Jack Plotnick just showed up and isn't accompanied by Kevin Corrigan (Kirkland) gives the Partridge is RJ theories a big boost. If it was just a "recap of the suspects" kind of appearance it would also include Kirkland's character so in my opinion it indicates a new appearance by Partridge. Of course if my theory that Partridge was an RJ disciple is right then it makes sense that we'd get more story leading up to his death. Either way, obviously Partridge has something else to add to the story, could be as RJ.
