When patrick sees "red johm" walk on to the church he blatantly shows a sigh of relief .
I think he was petrified to meet the real red john and the sight of macalister made him think he was in the clear.

Rigsby was pulling the strings on the high school renuion episode.
He did seem to find the next of kin information on Selby Vickers rather easily, and without being asked. Also knew about the airfield where Gabe Nyland came to town. And he said to Van Pelt he'd never been to Rancho Rosa before.
Also Gabe Nyland was running for Lieutenant Governer. We don't know if he won, but several episodes show the CBI going to work on cases at the request of the Lieutenant Governer. Most notably, the season 6 episode when Cooper and Haffner show up with a letter from the Lieutenant Governor stating that they will be kept informed on this case.

There are a million reasons why macalister is not red john.
My biggest red flag was his fear of dying.
I know that even crazy people crumble in the face of death not red john.

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.
Red john does not believe he wi be judged or go to hell.
Macalister was a pawn.

I have finally cracked the code ! With help from a very brilliant woman from France ;)
This woman shower me things that were in plain sight the whole time, and wow when you go back an re watch some eps with a fresh perspective , its awesome !!
Spoiler alert !
I wont spoil too much for u bc that is just mean but just go and watch the high school reunion episode.
The clue is Derrick Logan.
I have clues for days to prove more but i am staarting slow with u.


The reason why the macalister reveal did NOT answer anyones questions is because SHERIFF is NOT RED JOHN!
When the real red john is revealed than there will be flashbacks. Flashbacks to the high school reunion ep, flashbacks to the barn, visualeyes connection. I know it all now!!! Not gonna lie it feels great too

Stoopkid- I'm thinking you're right on the Red Rigsby. I think Rigsby saw Macallister in s1E2 and that's when he was recruited him for TT. I'm theorizing we'll see Rigsby, charismatic and gorgeous in stylish suit ....and then the English accent!
VP finds out, she kills him and then raises his child, leaving the door open for a red John jnr spinoff. Ok, maybe not that last bit I really am watching WR as a plausible suspect.
OY is a brilliant actor whose range has not been shown yet. I don't think TT is a big part of anything, just a way for RJ to purge some of his disciples and make a clean start.
Now some will say the RJ storyline is over. I think not only will PJ do a spectacular round up to answer our questions...and BH will then reveal to us how he manipulated us.

If you a choice between greatness or shitty mediocrity what would u chose ?
Well bruno heller loves the mentalist, its his child and if you think that this is the only season of the series that wont have a red john episode at the end well than you are being illogical.

Jane is back at work for a reason. Rigsby and van pelt are leaving the show.
How is this gonna go down? We know they work somehwere else and have a kid yet they're still on the show?!
There gonna die .
