Sebastian Kovar Please tell me if this time (S6EP08-'Red John') it is 100% the real Red John we will find out IN THE END. Or if there still is any doubt about it after completely watching it. And pleeeeaase :) could you describe the moment of the final confrontation just a little for a huuuge PJ-RJ-chemistry fan :)Thank you so much for this article!! 

I have no doubts this time. And without any details, the confrontation is absolutely brilliant and the actors work just SO well together!
And you're welcome!

Tr1n1ty86- Thanks for your nice preview! I'm so intrigued now. Just a question, if you may reply it. Is Red John really someone one of 7 suspects? 

I think it was confirmed along time ago.

Not asking you about RJ's identity, but could you say if they explain his motivation for the killings he's done? Why he's become a serial killer or what drives him? For me it's probably more important than who he is and I'm afraid the show might not deliver.

Well, there is a great moment in the episode when Jane pretty much describes RJ and in a way, his motivation, by himself. And since he's Jane, well, it fits quite perfectly. I can't really say if there's anything more than that.


DebraFan "Jane is calm, waiting for things to happen"I believe, that by naming Gail Bertram as Red John, Jane has successfully baited Red John into coming out of hiding. Red John doesn't like copycats (remember S2 finale) and murderers who claim that they are better than Red John (remember that old guy killer in S 4/5? who belittled Red John in an interview.) Simply put, he is too egotistical to bear someone else getting credit.

Naming Gail Bertram as Red John definitely sets A LOT of things in motion. 
For better or worse.
But I liked Jane approaching things calmly with a kind of...hmm, confidence, I guess.


PL-Do you think we'll all be happy with who turns out to be Red John? 

 I'm sure there's gonna be someone who won't, but in general, considering how well it's all done, I think most of people will be satisfied with this story.



Does the character who ends up being RJ do a good job of changing his voice to match the old RJ voice we've heard?1 

At one point the voice is changed and I can't say for sure (cause of the quality and sound changes in the rough cut), but I think it was pretty similar to what we've heard before.


jayroth  CarlosDash -couldn't agree more. Does the episode explain why the Lisbon/Patridge scene (towards end of S06E01) is so important? And if there's a reason to show so many scenes of pigeons in the first few episodes of the season ?

There's a reference to at least one of these things. That's all I can say.


Whome-Does the episode explain what happened at PJ's house with the explosion?

Oh yes! ;

Linda • 11 hours agoI know that you won't probably answer it :D Will Jisbon fans appreciate this episode as well?

  
Hmm.. yeah, I think so, some great moments between the two. As long as the fans will remember that it's not the episode focused on them.


Anestis- What i want to ask is a little out of the main issue.Do we know what happened with cristina fraye or whatever's her name?Maybe my question is silly cause i havent watched much episodes but i reeeeally liked her so i need to know :) 

I agree, Cristina was a really interesting character and I liked her, but we pretty much know that her story ended back in Season 3.


jayroth  did they show or explain how RJ figure out the list of 7 suspects before Jane himself? This one has been torturing me all summer... 
and when did Jane figure out who RJ really is? Is it during the episode? in this season? or way earlier?
 

The answer to one of these questions is one of my favorite parts, so let's leave it at that! ;) •Reply•Share ›
