I'd like to know why such a large, secretive, powerful and supposedly intelligent organisation such as the TT make themselves identifiable with a tattoo!...some will say many gangs have tattoos, but gangs wear them because they want to be identified, pride, affiliation...even prison tattoos that are for secretive affiliation are at least hidden amongst other tattoos....they should have took Janes idea of a red bead in the pocket instead. Then the PI wouldn't have seen it, although I still can't work out how she saw his shoulder...amongst other questionable things in this season.

I'd like to know if Mr Abbott has a tatoo on his shoulder...

Hi guys. First of all,  I dont think that Mac Allister is RJ. Its too easy to think that. I dont know who is RJ.

Lets introduce my theory: THE SYMMETRY

First: I judge impossible the fact that Heller shows us RJ before the break and in the middle of the season. Red John's death deserves a FINAL EPISODE.

To return about RJ: I think that RJ is too smart and has a head start all the time compared to PJ. Until now RJ has always manipulate PJ and he shows that its not a simple guy who like to kill, he's a genius and a great player.

Let me ask you juste one question: Why Red John could not manipulate Mac Allister like he did with Timothy Carter ?
I think he did also with the sheriff, WHY ??? 
Because day by day , bit by bit he forced Patrick Jane to kill people. He makes Patrick Jane a Serial Killer ALSO and makes him definitely RED JOHN'S SYMMETRY.
Patrick Jane started to be the reflection on Red John's mirror. Lorelei said it: RJ AND PJ are very ressembling.  

Thats the SYMMETRY mentionned in Blake's poem.

TIGER TIGER

I'm going to answer some questions that some people may have if I was in the shoes of Bruno Heller. If you do enjoy reading this, please click green. Hopefully this will clear up some of the questions people have been asking on this site and maybe it will cut down on the spam as well.

"There is no way that he could have been Red John, the pieces don't fit!!!"
Yes, I do agree with you. The pieces don't fit and if I do remember correctly, Heller said that a person who had watched the show thoroughly would be able to figure out who Red John is, that is not the case. However, lets think about it in Bruno Heller's shoes. He has had this TV Show going for 6 Seasons and has managed to keep the Red John story going. In my opinion, of course the ending was going to be bad, he kept it going for too long. I was happy with the season 3 ending.

"So Jane has killed Red John! What now?"
I like to think that Red John was more of a bonus to the show. I liked seeing Jane's shenanigans and crazy methods or solving crimes. However, the Red John episodes were very intriguing and constantly always left loose ends or a cliffhanger at the end of the episode. This actually irritated me a bit as I would have liked to have see Jane kill Red John 3 seasons ago rather than Bruno Heller doing the same thing over and over and repeating the same thing that happened in the last episode. An example of this would be, "Person has information on RJ. Dies at the end of episode and Jane gets no information."

"What about all the unanswered questions?"
I would totally agree with you and don't have a in-depth answer to this one. I genuinely have no clue as to why Bruno Heller would leave these sort of important questions unanswered. He could however be saving all of the answers until the very last episode.

In conclusion, these are just some of the 'frequently asked' questions. There is also a lot of controversy in who preferred previous season endings and would have preferred them be the last episode. People have also written their own scripts for the episode where Jane meets Red John face to face and I do have to say that some of them are incredibly impressive. I actually think to myself "Why couldn't Bruno Heller have used that script instead of using the one that he did!"
In my own personal opinion the ending I would have preferred was the one below.

I also would have loved it if the very last scene of the show was Jane laying down in his bed with the Smiley face above it like this and it just slowly zooms in on it.

This ending would have made the TV series for me. Obviously with some tinkering so that RJ reveals himself.

I would like to thank you for reading this and if you enjoyed it, please click the green!

We didn't even get ONE flashback of McAllister AS Red John.  Nothing from the past was really explained except for the freaky voice.  Tons of loose ends remain.  How did a small town Sheriff pull off both Tyger Tyger AND being Red John?  Something doesn't add up. 

It's not over. 

I know that i write theories often and that im changing my mind from day to day. Its just because im still hoping that BH wont disappoint us at the end, after
all.

Now i have a big WHAT IF :) What if the interviews, silly episodes, lack of RJ explanations, and the names of the episodes are made ON PURPOSE to make us angry and pissed of at the moment. Just to keep us disappointed and "betrayed" by Heller so we could all be SO REMARKABLY SURPRISED with the real real end. 

WHAT IF WE FANS ARE THE ONES GETTING PLAYED BY HELLER AND SIMON LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN PLAYED BY PATRICK JANE? :) after all this is our Jane ..right? When Jane had "the nerve breakdown" and insulted Luther i fell for it, Luther fell for it, you guys im sure fell for it, Lisbon fell for it! Maybe they are prepared for us to lose faith in the show and then BOOM!

If you look at the interviews with Heller and Baker they are just " We dont give a fuck about RJ anymore" Any normal writer would give us the explanations...after all that is all we are waiting for for 5 seasons right? Would they just give up and leave it all so messy and confusing? What if at the end there will be an interview with Heller and Baker and they will say to the fans we screwed you in Janes style :)) That would be great :))

Someone mentioned here that Heller made great shows till now, so what if this show ends up great aswell :)

@j3sca I was thinking that too. Red John is the collective group of people. Red for the colour of blood which symbolises death and John as in John Doe which is the collective name of someone with no identity. I am glad great minds think alike.
