THE THEORIES

Stab in the dark

Jane realized that bertram didnt leave the usb on purpose . Bertram had no idea it was there . Red john had planted it. The file contains the big brass of the BA.
Styles appears. He resurrected for his followers .
****REDJOHN planted a concussion bomb in janes house. This bomb obviously knocked EVERYONE out including MACALISTER . Red john then pulled out everyone. He Let styles and haffner go because red john is visualizes biggest secret. Styles then HYPNOTIZES MACALISTER INTO THINKING HE IS RED JOHN AND WHAT TO SAY TO JANE .
Jane knew this even before the church scene since he anticipated macalister was coming.
Jane is playing like he thinks red john is dead. This would explain why jane seems off his game.

Jane will confront styles and lisbon will knock out haffner .
Styles will show jane his bastard son. He will explain to patrick that red john joined visualize right after he was ridiculed in high school got into heroin and killed a few people at a barn.
Jane hears from a distance "hello patrick , cat got your tongue?"
Wayne rigsby walks out.
Wayne says "the BA was such a thorn in my spine and i used you to take them down"
Lorelie martins walks out holding hands with van pelt.
They make out for 30 seconds
"We all fooled u jane " van pelt says. "You are a sad souless man"

Jane then says "calm your tits devil bitch, i knew macalister was hypnotized and i knew that would lead me styles and eventually all of you. Lorelie you made that tape after i had told lisbon the list in the car. Rigsby or should i say derick logan the tortured little boy who hates pretty girls. You left clues with sophie miller that led me to the BA as well as kira tinsley, that was cute .
One thing that i hAve that you all will never have is well class, and CHO!!!

Cho blasts in tackling rigsby , lisbon shoots van pelt and lorelie killing them both. Jane walks up to rigsby and pisses on his face . Cho takes a dump on his chest and then lisbon walks by and rigsby sais "come on boss" , lisbon then puts one between his eyes.

I think the fact that the show hasnt spoke about red john, hasnt answered any of the clues , and are purposively not mentioning anything pertaining to red john and are so secretive about it PROVES that they are saving it all for the end . If they were trully done with red john we would hear jane and lisbon speaking about it but they dont .
Rigsby and van pelt need to be written off the show in a way thats not pertaining to their child, or new job. It has to be something else right ? Possibly a showdown with patrick but i see lisbon taking the shot this time .
We are in for probrally the greatest ending to a show ever .
Yes the mentalist is new and moving on BUT they still have to get rid of rigsby and van pelt somehow and they will eventually talk about the usb, red john, and the BA SO BE PATIENT .
Keep the faith and get ready.

There are 3 types of people
On this site.
1. Optimist- love the show and think there is more to the red john theory and rightfully so since so many clues are there.
2. Pessimist- think its over , quote heller constantly , and even tho they have a feeling its not all over they believe red john is definitely dead. Which is fine because the show tells us he is dead.
3. Haters- trolls who dont want the show and just hate on everybody with a mind. Sad souls with nothing but hate inside of them.

So which one are u?

Did macalister say right before he dies "i have a psychic" ? It sure sounded like he did . Maybe we will get to meet him or her .
Also i notice that whenever jane is watching the infamous tiger chasing the deer scene on tv. (I think it happened a few times) the lion is always a female !
I always thought red john was a woman.

Side note: kim fisher was NOT hired by the fbi to spy on patrick .
Abbot was planning on "turning over every rock to find him"
It seemed like he had no idea kim was in mexico too.
Who hired her ?
Why is she so weird ?

kim fisher . either she is the most dull character ever or there is something hidden
she said she was undercover in mexico
she hadn't taken the promotion yet in mexico
abbot did not know where jane was in mexico, said he was gonna turn over every rock to find him
why couldn't about just ask fisher?
she was undercover for red john, thats why she is obsessed about how patrick thinks

HOW ON EARTH WITH THEY GET RID OF RIGSNY ANDE VAN PELT IF THERE ALREADY GONE???
- they already have rigsny and van pelt and exit yet they are still on the show until the end of this season
that means something else has to happen for them to be written off. Deaty?

Mentalist
Calling all Mentalist Fans

This board isn't about right and wrong answers. The website is built for good discussions about what may happen. This is not a court of law or a science convention. Everything is fair game in a tv show as Great as this. Don't act like you don't love this f'n show.
Ill share what i have, and then you build off of that. I want to hear what Everyone thinks. You have to admit that the show seems weird lately, like something big is going to happen. How could it not? 5 years of greatness must end in full circle greatness.

Evidence (Minus the input of the Showmen Bruno Heller)

The Character of Macalister is NOT like Red John in any way.
The biggest red flag was his fear of dying.
Red John is not afraid to die , he believes that "He will not be judged" and does NOT believe in hell.
William blake was gnostic. If i could explain gnosticism at its core in one sentence it would be that man is god. And that there isnt a man with a beard in the sky that judges people.
Macalister doesn't seem like the reading literature, listing to bach, and sipping tea type?
-Why would Red John have a 3 dot tattoo?
-Why didn't he kill patrick on the roof in the wedding episode?
-Macalister didn't know that the lady in the church was on his or Red Johns side?
(These are endless so please comment some more like this)
---Macalister was assuming the identity of Red John to cover up certain BA related murders. He used BRETT PARTRIDGE for help on those cases.

2--- KARA TINSLEY IS A HUGE CLUE
-How did she see his tattoo? A tanktop? stop.
-Why did he not Kill her completely! Why leave her with enough breath to tell patrick anything? Rj slits throats right?
****TRUTH- Tinsley did not work for visualize. She worshipped Red John. She smiled at the door and Red john killed her AND instructed her to TELL PATRICK ABOUT THE BA, leading him astray to Bertram and the rest.
Red John used her like Lorelie Martins.
side note- rigsby told cho he was gonna get him a girl and lo and behold a girl hired by red john comes to cho in the form of KARA TINSLEY ;) hmm
3----SOPHIE MILLER
-Why would Macalister visit her before he tortured and killed her. Why waste time?
She said that he was Lying about everything in her interview
Red John spoke of the neurosis of the Ba Members including macalister in the interview?
Why would he dime himself out? and seem like he's lying as he does it? NO
Jane said even though he is lying he is still leaving "CLUES"
Red John got the memory he wanted from Sophie and also led jane to Macalister and Bertram in the process. Why else would red john sit down with her?
4----LORELIE MARTINS
-Why would she think Jane and Macalister would be such great friends? Jane is the opposite of a cowboy haha
-Lorelie Martins went to kill red john for killing and RAPING HER SISTER . Then posts a video saying Red john is mad at me for Telling you about the Handshake! WTF? and he's not mad you tried to kill him?
-Red John has never raped any of his victims. Ever.
****WHATS REALLY GOING ON-
Lorelie never went to Kill Red John. She did not believe Red John Did it and was messing with Patrick. She knew that the BA members were behind her sisters death. She is working with Red John to take them down. She said aloud the names of all the BA members on Patricks list. You will think i am crazy but SHE IS ALIVE. **watch her death scene again and look at the picture of the lady on the left it says ALIVE , plus her throat was not slit in typical red john fashion.

HERE IS THE POLL
Do You think it is PLAUSIBLE that Red John MAY be alive ? Not definite but Maybe be alive?

Not plausible is Macalister is for a FACT red john and that season 6 will be the first season to not end with a red john story line ?

Faith is why you are here on this site, you believe there is more , lets talk about it....
